Instead of focusing on adding LLM to search, they should have rolled it out as a GCP service. There would be less reputational risk and it would give them a chance to learn how it would be used when it did eventually integrate into Search.

One of Evan’s colleagues from NoRedInk actually started his own language heavily inspired by Elm that aims to fix a lot of its ecosystem problems. https://www.derw-lang.com I’m not sure if it’ll go anywhere but I like the idea t

I’m working on something like this for Python. Live code editing, forking other users code, and built-in Web UIs that let your end users interact with your prototype. We’ll be ready next week for a handful (probably around 5) initial test u

Agreed. I just posted a guide on how to do it in another thread and it’s actually not that hard. The only thing that won’t be familiar to all devs is HTTP signing. I expect that we’re going to have more HTTP middleware frameworks that suppo

My guess is that older homes in the northeast will have an issue not with adding the outlet but upgrading from 100amp to 200amp service. I was quoted $10k for that upgrade. I had to decide between getting an EV and getting a heat pump. Deci

Ohh. This explains why the Chevy Bolt in front of me on I-95 pulled slowed to a crawl and pulled over to the shoulder.

That’s what I would have ordinarily thought but I had a vendor who charged $10/user/mo per user for their “Team” tier but $180,000/year for their “Enterprise” tier with up to 150 users. Made no sense at all.

Also the Zoom client has much better touch-ups and lighting controls. When I use Zoom now, I don’t need to use my studio lights but when I do Google Meet or any other web-based one, half my face is in the shadow and there’s no software way

I did the same thing! I was a Quant at asset managers / hedge funds and then I started a data analytics company. Eventually I got into alternative data and then my company was acquired by another data analytics company. I worked at the

Software development is really weirdly unique in the way we interview candidates. In no other profession does a job candidate with work experience have to “study” or “practice” for an interview other than reading up about the company. Unles

I think the mechanism is indirect. After 9/11, Congress wanted to make it difficult to falsify IDs. The optimization was to maximize the probability that an ID is real and correct if an ID is presented to board a plane. Unfortunately t

I’m in the process of figuring out what to use for my next startup. Have you had any issues with Firebase? If you were to start again, would you still mainly use Firebase on the client or would you have the clients hit Cloud Run endpoints?

The company I work for uses Haskell and Go. I can immediately read and comprehend what’s going on in any of the Go repositories in a few seconds. By contrast, every Haskell repo ends up becoming a DSL — which is a pleasure to write and refa
