I've done a couple bay area startup interviews where the interviewer specifically asks for 'personally / family' related anecdotes. With the explanation that they view their compan…

I think the perception of America was just as critical, or even moreso, during the GWB presidencies and iraq war. (I imagine nixon and the vietnam war were thought of similarly). T…

I stopped reading hn regularly a couple years ago just because the top-voted comments were so reliably negative cynical takes. And not just for articles related to startups.

I guess they take it for the same reason you do. The effects aren't really different in people with ADHD vs people without [0] > I cannot tell you how much literature there is tryi…

I dont think the original series of guided meditations from the headspace founder was aimed at productivity. From what I remember, it's a pretty typical breath- and bodyscan-center…

I mean, he does like a good rant lol. But this seems like a bad take. The witness came out ~8 years ago, and Braid came out ~8 years before that. Braid Anniversary is launching nex…

I assume when people talk about Jobs bulshitting they’re more so referencing the earlier Lisa or NeXT eras

Did you watch any of lifecoach's slay the spire streams? He has some very impressive win rates/streaks and is I think much more conservative with potion use than most players.

23% > 20% which means if someone goes into the field of computer programming they're more likely to remain in the field if they are a woman than if they are a man. "remain in the f…

I'm trying github copilot for the first time on a new project. So far I'm having trouble getting much useful output from it. Basically it just provides the types of suggestions a c…

Hm, not sure why people are downvoting this ^ Here's a source: https://www.wired.com/story/ftx-bankruptcy-bitcoin-value/

Did you get paid back yet? From what I read the ftx estate claimed to be able to make all claimants whole

Wish we'd get more articles from actual practitioners using generative AI to do things. Nearly all the articles you see on the subject are on the level of existential threats or pr…

You do know that video wasnt like... state of the art video generation a year ago? It's an intentionally silly meme video

Is it better at those types of things than copilot? Or even just conventional boilerplate IDE plugins?

Some people have much worse vision? Makes sense that people would perceive visual clarity differently

> implying that wasn't the case always on twitter?

I think parent comment was maybe trolling a bit with a memoji comparison lol. Hard to say though

woah. it's been years since ive seen a penny arcade comic. didnt realize it was still around!

Just for fun I decided to see if I could use chatGPT to solve NYT Connections word puzzles. It uses a pretty straightforward BFS search in which the LLM is first prompted to genera…

Pretty sure most employees would take the side of whatever seems likely to increases the value of their equity the most. Not sure if it's much of a signal either way on whether he …

Yeah the abrupt vibe shift on HN with regards to altman is pretty odd. Suddenly he's a Jobs-esque product visionary?

For the recent Galactic puzzle hunt competition [0] there was a problem that involved generating 5x5 star battle [1] grids that had a number of unique solutions in the range of [1,…

I find being in caffeine withdrawal definitely makes falling sleep easier. But in steady state being on or off caffeine seems to be about the same? It's hard to say though! Sleep o…
