I posted this in a comment already, but the results here line up with the original BOLT paper. “For the GCC and Clang compilers, our evaluation shows that BOLT speeds up their bina…

There’s a section of the article at the end about how Postgres doesn’t have LTO enabled by default. I’m assuming they’re not doing PGO/FDO either? From the Bolt paper: “For the GCC…

A large number of people, less than the “hundred million” that you mention (Wikipedia says FTX had “over one million” customers [0]) lost their highly speculative investment. Yes i…

My view is that folks lost their life savings on crypto on FTX is only a more extreme version of those who lost their live savings on crypto on some other exchange. The fraud is te…

I do not. My comment was in response to the parent comment saying that financial crime “absolutely causes people to die” and “create far more misery than your average mugger”.

To what degree was the money lost by SBF/etc going to be put towards saving lives, versus the dreams of the average crypto person?

I’ve used their tarballed installer, which is straightforward. The app itself then checks for updates, and displays a reminder when there’s a new version. Not as nice as having an …

Written, a combination of New York Times, Washington Post, and what Google News aggregates (frequently includes Fox and a mix of websites of local news websites)

> In America, it's wall-to-wall "police say"-like IDF clips and Bill Maher condemnation, dehumanization, and equivocating Palestine supporters with Hamas terrorists. The talking he…

I find it hard to believe there’s correlation between the beginnings of Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas and who the US president is. If anything, Russia and Hamas are each less lik…

It’s disingenuous because they intentionally chose numbers on the pricing curve that resulted in the most clickbaity results. There are plenty of valid criticisms, but I felt the a…

I can’t say I’m a fan of the pricing model, but the linked tweet makes specific choices regarding the number of installs, which in turn determines the pricing. The tweet has 10M in…

I looked it up, and the extended security updates for Google Pixel is only a recent change: Pixel 8: released in 2023, updates through 2030 Pixel 5: released in 2020, stopped getti…

Is there a concrete explanation of what Masimo’s actual innovation was in their patents? They were posted in a previous thread, and the way they were written made it unclear what w…

T-Mobile also doesn’t send your texts to millions of people based on the engagement they generate.

Summary: Tesla has decreased its prices over the last year, affecting the resale value of existing vehicles. Author makes this out to be entirely bad.

I’ve often wondered if a similar result happened for me. Six year old me got Pokémon Blue, which is pretty much all text based. Coupled with comic books at a friends house, I had g…

I got accustomed to pausing whenever the machine was speaking, to avoid the race condition I mentioned above. I went with a friend to a different store, in a new city, and she was …

I’ve had significant issues with some particular models of self-checkout. They have some sort of weight check after scanning an item, to see if I’ve placed it in the basket. I assu…

Direct from the article: "BUT YOU JUST WANT TO SELL YOUR COURSE!!! Ahahaha, you caught me! It’s true. I do have something to sell you. I run a community for small-time entrepreneur…

Yes, and I’m free to criticize it for being a mediocre article with a clickbait headline.

I considered that as an issue with being a vc funded startup founder. I could have made that part slightly more clear. Once again, a much broader issue than just YC! The author cou…

The article discusses known issues being a startup founder, such as the low odds of success, as if they’re unique to YC, followed by a pitch for his own product.

I agree it's definitely possible, and I'm certain we'll see a vuln due to some crazy Rust optimizations in the future. That said, not switching over to a memory safe language, in m…
