As somebody under that umbrella myself > soy turning me trans or social media turning me trans I agree is absolutely mind-numbingly naive. However, I feel like there's only so many options for where sexuality and gender-identity ca

Obviously this is baseless speculation, but I sure do wonder if various psychological conditions that are so diverse and hard to pin down (i.e. 3 out of these 9 symptoms around attention, social behavior, or impulse control) are ultimately

I heard it’s even worse than this: I heard any app can access a list of wireless access point unique IDs your phone is near and that there is a database of enough of these to lookup your location regardless of settings. Would love to hear c

Moreover, even if it was say 15% better than git (and I doubt it is), the overhead of moving a whole industry across VCs is billions of dollars of loss. Every single engineer has to start over in their mastery experience by learning all the

I guess then my thought is that whether it's one disorder or 4 or any number perhaps is best understood as a statistical question. For example, if a parent exhibit autism symptom X (e.g. trouble understanding emotions), are there kids

Maybe you put a 500% tariff (at least, since plastic is such a cheap product) on the most dangerous plastics (the ones that are known to disrupt hormones). Also a domestic plastic tax - by making plastic less cheap (perhaps have it go up 10

A monad is a weird/unnecessary concept for a type that wraps another type (and makes certain guarantees). Like you can have a List<Int> so List is a monad type. There's also an "option" type in many languages (whic

Every chart shows a trend down from peak but still way up from 2019. Seems like what I’ll call a tee-up article - very fact-light with a provocative title so people can vent their preexisting frustrations after skimming it.

I like the connection between Goodheart's law and overfitting. However these examples are a reach: --- Goal: Healthy population Proxy: Access to nutrient-rich food Strong version of Goodhart's law leads to: Obesity epidemic I&#x27

That's such a weird attitude. It's so weird to say "unproven" when you're talking about a 1000 chemicals, because statistically the odds that they are all harmless seems negligible. Also strange unfair exercise you&

Yeah, important distinction. But also I think hopefully there's some understanding that random things aren't good. My attitude used to be "who cares if there's a bit of random chemicals in your body, what's the wors

I feel like maybe you're intentionally misunderstanding the point I'm making, because your example kind of illustrates my point: In that case you'd probably find nearly 100% agreement on steak over feces, or salad over feces,

Meh, I get people hate Jira, but every time I ask people "What would you rather do instead" there's absolutely no agreement on what's a better solution. I think it's imoprtant to recognize that if a whole crowd of p

Well I would never use a script like this at a real job outside of local testing. What you'd want on stage is probably using opentelemetry, which I believe has auto-instrumentation for all network calls. Then you have the data forever

I've always used a proxy, like charles proxy, for this exact purpose. A neutral middle-man that gives exact timing/response data.

Because interoperability is key to competition...? Imagine a universe where different hardware doesn't interoperate (e.g. androids can't call iphones, Macs can't use google.com, ChatGPT is only accessible to Comcast subscribe

If you can do this repeatedly, say 15 times, and record the numbers each time (say just put them in a spreadsheet), you can actually pretty easily run a "statistical test" to prove your theory at 95% confidence (which is what rese

Yeah I guess my hot-take is that exaggerating summary articles maybe shouldn't exist at all, or not be shared on HN. What I've found is that, and this article is a great example, the summarizing article is more likely to lead to a

I really don't like these articles that don't necessarily link to (or even have the same title as) the actual research. I'd be curious if anybody is collecting distribution of the ages of puberty across country and across tim

It's interesting to read this study... the degree of complexity of the analysis reminds me of a overcomplicated codebase. Would love to see completely independent analysis before trusting such a large codebase is bug-free.

I cannot for the life of me understand why SRE of all roles would be the one to attempt to use agents for. IMO it's one of the last roles that it would apply, long after core development. I mean is the AI going to read your sourcecode,

You're not explicitly saying to dumb it down, but I'd be curious if this advice would scale to genuinely deep content. The cynical hypothesis is that people don't want to think about what you wrote, and if you put enough pret
