Why are you assuming there’s some taxpayer that will pay for my transportation? I fully intend to pay my transportation costs myself. It’s not about getting a free ride, it’s about…

Here's another idea: The places where people want to live have no land or archaic zoning laws. I wouldn't want to live two hours away, but if I could sleep/work during my commute, …

This is like the “why not use FTP yourself” response to the YC Dropbox page. Yes, but good, standardized developer tooling is valuable. Postman could’ve also been a “just use CURL …

Just start pricing in bytes input/output. This whole "token" and "tokenizer" thing is an implementation detail that shouldn't even be leaking out into the API. Providers change tok…

Don't underestimate corporate waste. If it's not someone's job to care for something, they really won't. Even before this AI wave, it was common for me to see spinning dev environm…

Yeah, this implementation and their behavior these past few weeks is especially laughable when you consider that they consider themselves “philosopher programmers” or whatever. You…

Those walkways are only in between each set of gates, there aren’t any actually near gates or anywhere near seating. Where did you sleep lol?

I've noticed that all of these music generators suffer from something like "mean" collapse (as opposed to mode, you do get variance, but all results are highly centered around simi…

Couldn't someone just uhh... patch their macOS/kernel, mock these things out, then behold, you can now access all the data? If it's not running fully end to end in some secure encl…

Wait, the linter re-ordered the file. Let me restore it to the previous state. whisper: There is no linter.

> And given that in Austin they just reached parity with Waymo (i.e. completely unsupervised robotaxi service), they are not doing badly. There is no unsupervised robotaxi service …

There are 67 million baby boomers in the US. How can you rationally blame them all? Roughly 20% of the population. Saying the "boomers ruined everything" is not sophisticated, we c…

Has any society ever behaved that way? It's already a push to get people to think of the middle/lower classes during the present. I understand the desire to find an entity or group…

Can you blame them for existing during early globalization, before over the financialization of everything? It's not like they actively took more than they "should have" from anyon…

It's not that hard to notice this, just google "{university} {degree} syllabus" and you can see all the courses that the student will take. In my case, I have CS degree and work as…

A brief history of programming: 1. Punch cards -> Assembly languages 2. Assembly languages -> Compiled languages 3. Compiled languages -> Interpreted languages 4. Interpreted langu…

I used the early web. I miss forums, I miss the small webmaster, I miss making fun, small websites to share with friends. And while you could make the argument that these forms of …

You spent 3 months on this hacked together garbage when you probably could’ve just configured a pre-existing solution off the shelf with like 10 minutes of reading and understandin…

The year is 2034. Countless attempts at re-producing the sophisticated wetware of the brain have failed. Modeling research has proved unfruitful, with the curse of dimensionality a…

It's becoming challenging to really evaluate models. The amount of intelligence that you can display within a single prompt, the riddles, the puzzles, they've all been solved or ar…

I stopped listening to Lex Fridman after he tried to arbiter a "peace agreement" between Russia and Ukraine and claimed he just wanted to make the world "love" each other more. The…

Mega cool, I’m curious if there’s a way to burn the ISO to a disc and get this playing on a physical console?
