No one runs into machine gun fire to bring democracy to someone else I can assure you of that.

Can’t speak for others but the most damaging part of direct combat is watching people that you consider to be family die or be maimed.

I’ll never understand why LinkedIn is making these product choices. They have a legitimate moat, I and basically every other tech worker is exclusively on LinkedIn. They devalue th…

Flex tier is just as cheap but you don't need to deal with batching or waiting. I see it completing in about ~3x-10x the latency of normal calls, so in seconds. You can always rout…

Haven't worked in AWS but as a customer of AWS, GCP, and Azure there is a quite a difference between running workloads that are doing long-running computations on AWS (on demand is…

Great news, the fine is so small doesn’t matter, but curing the wrong does. My hope is this standard will apply to modern cars as well, repair manuals and the software tools to int…

If you haven’t talked to Anthropic support yet you’re in for a surprise. I’m an engineer at a company with an enterprise contract, Anthropic people in our slack and it took me a mo…

Performance. A safe Swiss Army knife function that did most of this would be slow because of the internal branching you’d need to be safe, and because there is developer intent in …

I don’t see it that way. Some see the invisible hand of the market but I just don’t, the involvement in politics… the purposeful shaping of public opinion that is against the publi…

The whole framing you’re using is wrong. If you can do climate modeling and math at the planet scale, you don’t need to be convinced you have read the research and you knew 30 year…

My go to for these (was a tractor mechanic early in life) is to start with a big flat blade screwdriver and knock it completely through the side of the filter to the other side wit…

Definitely got attention during the prod outage at my work. I’m going to find another alternative, I’m sick of this terrible uptime.

This type of pedantry doesn’t add to the discussion. You’re correcting someone’s spelling on the internet, it’s pointless except to make you feel superior, adds nothing. Make a sal…

4 people spent hours putting our repo back together at my company after this. GH has been unreliable and now they are breaking the core tenant of what I expect from this service.

One of the main problems I have with the models coding is the feedback loop is way down the chain from generation, it's out at the commit boundary for python when your hooks are ru…

Anthropic was chirping about Chinese model companies distilling Claude with the thinking traces, and then the thinking traces started to disappear. Looks like the output product an…

As an aviator, that right there counts as an emergency landing. A hard one. They limped it back home, they didn’t ditch a very sensitive airframe over enemy territory, I’d call tha…

Add Huey crew chiefs to this list

I don't have a good answer for you. I expected the upper and middle officer corps to conduct themselves with honor and they aren't. I'm going to bet that pilots aren't briefed to h…

I know you're not. I've found that most of our population has almost no connection to the people that actually fight wars, and therefore have no idea what they think. With the exce…

I didn’t downvote you, but a terse “well actually it’s prisoner of war” doesn’t really add to the conversation. Imagine doing that in person, you’d annoy everyone around you. If yo…

It’s a “well, actually” and counter to the HN guidelines

Every war since Korea, we’re very used to this.

No, we actually train to be tortured and held if caught, but everyone knows the risks before you take off. Captured marines or soldiers have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, we…
