I've struggled to find a clear definition of what it means to have "taste" when working with AI, so I wanted to try to find examples. Here's my example: React.js was released in 20…

True. Maybe we could start with smaller sized GPUs until it becomes the norm in society to have GPU clusters in homes, then upgrade where necessary? Get those AI companies to compe…

Obviously, no body likes the idea of having or living next to a data center. And AI companies want to solve UBI in a sensible manner. Why not combine these two things? AI companies…

Indian-American here. Thank you for this! I have hearing sensitivity and have repeatedly asked my parents to lower the volume on TVs, whatsapp videos, insta reels 100s of times. Th…

That's a fair point. Model prices can increase. This raises the next question. Doesn't this mean that any company that depends on headcount growth (every SaaS), loses? 100 SWE -> 1…

That's a fair point. Model prices can increase. Let's say Anthropics/OpenAI/Gemini figure this out. Doesn't this mean that any company that depends on headcount growth (every SaaS)…

But AI companies would want more engineers generating more tokens. In this case, Anthropic would want 100 SWEs generating 100,000/mo of revenue. Replacing the very headcount that i…

Let's play it out in the case of software engineers. 100 SWEs all running Claude Code. Okay, company is 10x more productive than before. Now, company cuts 90% of SWEs because AI ma…

And what happens, when enough percent of the population has nothing to lose?

That's exactly my question. If there are fewer engineers, then there will be fewer dev tool companies, and fewer managers, etc. meaning fewer Slack, Gmail, MSFT, Zoom subscriptions…

Right now many companies are in cost-cutting phase, so here is an AI thought experiment. 50% less white collar jobs -> 50% less productivity SaaS apps needed (slack, gmail, notion,…

Sad to see this. Posted on their instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IHZXYvh8y/?img_index=1 With deep sorrow, the Mukerji family announces the passing of Meenakshi Mukerji on …

I started a portfolio website with Netlify (iirc), then I moved to Vue + Gridsome (on GitHub pages), then Next.js with Tailwind CSS, and was about to move to Vite.js over winter br…

Thanks! I didn't use the link with the live demo because it doesn't run on all devices.

I made this slime mold simulation to learn more about WebGPU and compute shaders. It's essentially a recreation of Sebastian Lague's coding adventure on the web with TypeScript. I'…

Logged in to comment this. Very much agree. It's crazy (to me) that books like this gets so much hype on HN when there are much better videos that explain these topics better. Most…

Thank you! Hope you (or the intern) can pick up right where I left off.
