I’m in Australia and I love going to my local Costco with my wife monthly to load up on meat we re-portion and freeze. Calling it an exotic experience is a little much, they operat…

holy shit it was possessed by Richard Stallman

I hate AI video, I hate AI art, but if you are pretending that AI isn’t going be writing code for 99% of projects going forward you are absolutely kidding yourself.

Starting to think that the American century of humiliation meme was prophetic.

I’ve been cloning and battling cats for the past week, it’s highly addictive: https://store.steampowered.com/app/686060/Mewgenics/

All of their comments are either a) "this OCR is bad", or b) "here is my team's OCR, it is good". Quite blatant.

> The first clues started when a client, who I thought was a software developer, starts merging his own code through the main branch, without warning. No pull request, just straigh…

The obvious knob to turn here is that the floor price of ad auctions will be incredibly high, with the justification that AI is expensive. As someone outside of the ad-tech space i…

More like Cuomo screwed Sliwa, if Cuomo wanted to run against the Democratic candidate, he should have ran as a Republican. He already lost the primary and took his sour grapes to …

At the start of the “LLM boom” I was optimistic that OAI/Anthropic were in a position finally unseat the Big 4 in at least this area. Now I’m convinced the only winners are going t…

I very much agree from contractors I’ve worked with from Poland and the like, but the same areas don’t produce a lot of international software companies. Lack of capital for ventur…

I don't like David or Chamath, but it is quite mind-blowing how little Jason C seems to have accomplished vs. the other two, his entire claim to fame appears to be trolling online …

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was across the board for buses into lower Manhattan/around bridges into Manhattan. When living in cities I usually use both buses and trains but whe…

I currently work for a YC company based in New York, with myself in Australia after moving back to be closer to family and have switched my work schedule to be from Tuesday to Satu…

This is very cool! Nice to see there is something in the space to unstick some very stressed out Bench customers. Making sure everything reconciles definitely makes sense, I’ve wor…

I’d argue detailed accounting data is reasonably hard to package up into a nice format to easily import into a new system, especially having confidence that you migrated everything…

Telling to creator of Redis that they might want to reevaluate their respective program logic (Redis) is pretty funny, only on HN :)

The original commenter posted a shallow dismissal by putting the effort into posting a comment without clicking a single button on the page :)

I think the documentation does a very good job in the first sentence of describing the project. Not sure why the tone of the commenter was so offended they had to click on a single…

I’m unclear on how you “port” a library from Python to Rust, it’s a ground up rewrite with a familiar interface to pip but fundamentally doesn’t share any code.

I’d been suffering from some “depression lite” symptoms, mostly generalized anxiety since 2020, maybe long covid, who knows, and a reasonably small prescription of Xoloft has had a…

Some good points but 3) is terrible advice. If you list a technology and I use it frequently, and if I can tell you added it for the sake of padding your resume, that is going to w…

+1, disappointing to see.
