Incredible how people are underestimating ChatGPT or overestimating open-source models. A basic question: How can i join with SQL a column to a string separated with comma GPT-4: P…

Issues with scaling typically occur when confronted with unbounded traffic issues. BeReal has a known traffic cap, say, 3 or 4 billions peak connections at the same time. This cap …

I find this really hard to believe. Say, you manage to recruit the top-30 engineers who know all the in-and-outs of the google search engine. Add to that, their recent replacement …

Modern lifestyle advice dictates people to eat more, to move less, to be alone and sleep less ?

I would like to know more about the subject. Is there any way I can contact you ?

I feel your example is a good portrayal of a life pretty much well-lived: you made money doing something you enjoy, met tons of people and fed your curiosity. But according to this…

The way I see it is, say, you own a house. And you're having someone telling you that it is not properly secured. If I come up to you, the owner, and kindly warn you that your door…

I don't know. I think what we all do, we know how to do it without a computer. Computer just automate stuff for us. It's a very practical saying because it forces you to ask the ri…

Original comment never mentioned that SQL wasn't a baseline for programmers anymore.

What you don't realize about Epitech (and other similar private schools) is that the only value you're getting is paying a bunch of millionaires the right to join a selective progr…

Were you an engineering graduate ? Because 30k€ even in Province right now is extremely low (university graduates are starting at 33k€ in Lyon for example, with engineers 33-38k€).…

“Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves,” the New York Times editorialized in October 1963, as demolition of the old Penn Station began. I suggest a…

Spot on. While the idea behind can be interesting, it is implemented by accepting people who have the same "social status" background (same schools, same opinions), but are of diff…

I don't really understand why you would think that "avoiding change" is an offense to be fired for. Your opinion seems to lack every bit of possible nuance: say i'm manager A tryin…

I have a feeling they've been working on this. Their https support has always been top notch!

Am suddenly interested in building a product that handles your taxes when you give it read access to your Coinbase account.

Yes.

I'd argue that berating economic success as the main metric for measuring a country's success is precisely what is slowly but surely eroding the West's precious institutions. Since…

I have to admit I slightly misread the parent comment, but still: as long it's not a democracy, how can you consider that China "can give their people what they want". The "they" c…

Following your logic, China is better off because instead of having one party protesting but failing to reject a law promoted by the elections-winning other party, it's just better…

Seeing comments like yours today on this Bloomberg piece is quite reassuring. I technically count as a "minority" and I have no other way of phrasing this: it is extremely irritati…

Couldn't agree more. Although to be more precise, ETH/ICOs are threatening the standard financing model proper in Silicon Valley, and not SV as a whole. I basically see the future …

This reminds me of the scene in The Big Short where a manager casually talks about CDOs, synthetic CDOs and squared CDOs. And Steve Carell's character start asking: "what are squar…

Seems awesome. Wonder why this wasn't just launched as a regular open source project. I (& people) would contribute the heck out of it.
