It’s been pretty clear for a while that Nikita has been looking at the ways twitter is bad- foreign accounts stoking hatred in the west for cash. He started putting in ways to chan…

I work in the corporate world, I have detailed confidential discussions about technical details of upcoming products and contract details. The first thing we do in those situations…

What do you mean for the sake of Apple? This didn't benefit Apple. He screwed with this guy for months because of a mistaken idea that the guy should have somehow known Apple's att…

Always worth remembering that as well as being an innovator, Steve Jobs was often a cruel and petty man.

It's computer Gain of Function research.

The "move to the us" thing seems to just be absolute twitter brain. The biggest problem London founders face is raising funding and these guys seemingly raised plenty based on an i…

I think this is such a great example of misunderstanding a political problem as a technical problem, and misunderstanding twitter as real life. > the political winds seemed favoura…

Isn't this the opposite of what I want? I don't want people willing to pay getting into my inbox. Those are the people who think they can get more from me somehow. Those are exactl…

>If Rivian’s native UI is so great, then their customers… won’t use CarPlay. It’s that simple. I kind of disagree with this. Airpods are purely additive, customers can just choose …

To be honest I don't think what the models themselves say in relation to these specific questions matter. Because I don't think it reflects are durable underlying worldview. I susp…

Google acquired his company in 2024 for $2.7Bn with him taking about 40% of that. I'm quite sure that no matter where he went, any lab or his own start up, he would be fine financi…

I totally understand the concern that forcing a digital proof of age turns into you having to go to some 3rd party who won't actually just provide a "Yes, this person is 18" style …

I feel like a lot of this advice is kind of dangerous. How do I draft a tight investor memo? I'll ask the slop machine! It's kind of analogous to how I'm writing code right now. Fo…

Just to be clear, this is the same reason that social media companies don't tell you about how they detect spam and they create shadow bans and things like this so that people don'…

What are you even classifying as accurate or correct? Do you take every 51% prediction from FiveThirtyEight and if the result is a win you consider that forecast accurate? And ever…

To give you a trivial example: The simplest way I can put this is that turn out varies based on the weather[1], and turn out is skewed by party. So if it rains on election day you …

I think it's unquestionably right that these companies can't all win, and those that don't win are going to burn a lot of money for nothing. However there's kind of two directions …

One aspect of my job is that I have a lot of autonomy and the work I do is such that I could push something out to the production environment and cause massive problems. We have pr…

Just commenting here to impact the controversy score.

Frankly I think it’s kind of childish to just put up a massive Uk wide block on your website. “Call your representatives”, ok dude, can I give you a list of things I want to change…

Needs a [2010] tag. In almost all modern hardware development you'll have coding guidelines along the lines of "Always use blocking assignments for comb logic, always use non-block…

What do you mean by simulate? Do you want the language to be aware of the temperature of the silicon? Because I can build you circuits whose behaviour changes due to variation in t…

I guess this really depends on your view of the world. Was Marc Andreessen some visionary without whom no one would've ever figured out images could appear on websites. Some kind o…
