Yeah, they put me on the quant researcher track. Made it to the final round onsite, but they did not extend an offer T_T

Do you find the results are better when you use the same query on Google? Because I’ve also exclusively used DuckDuckGo for the past 5 or so years, and every now and then I get fru…

I was one of the solvers. It took me about a week to figure out. This is what I wrote out in my submission with the answer: > After looking at the final two layers I was somewhat q…

> Antigravity did the vast amount of work, it feels unworthy I think this is true for me as well. I have two types of projects that I’ve been working on - small ones with a mix of …

On the Apple TV you get ‘ads’ for the apps you have in your top row, with different levels of interactivity. Some are just logos of that streaming service, some show recently watch…

Idk how popular it is but I know at least one person that does that. I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets more normal in the coming years.

This thread seems to have a lot of people that love the iPhone mini (me included - I still use my 12 mini). But from all reports that you can find with a quick search it seems clea…

It is interesting seeing the difference in model perception between “normal” people and the Hacker News crowd. My perception is that a huge percentage of the mass market just like …

This is a great comment. I’ve noticed a new genre of AI-hype posts that don’t attempt to build anything novel, just talk about how nice and easy building novel things has become wi…

> My theory is that Apple specifically wanted an effect that can’t be replicated in webviews This makes a lot of sense to me. I was also under the impression that all these lightin…

I typically get AppleCare on my phone and then get a new screen and battery right before the window is up. AppleCare is cheaper than the cost of those repairs plus I have the added…

That last point (compliance gaps in fintech) sounds fascinating. Is there a place that I could read more about this?

I’m looking forward to checking this out when I have time tonight or tomorrow. I was actually just looking at different open source tools I could run locally that would allow agent…

Interesting to see what I feel like is a big disconnect between the article and the comments. In my interpretation the author of the article is doing this almost more out of respec…

I have mixed feelings. Generally I don’t think that LLM output should be used to create anything that a human is supposed to read, but I do carve out a big exception for people usi…

I agree with this. I do mostly DevOps stuff for work and it’s great at telling me about errors with different applications/build processes. Just today I used it to help me scrape d…

I think this is the biggest problem with this post. Sure, I can definitely see how it might be fun to make an app in a day or two and release it to yourself and a couple friends. B…

This is likely because you bought a pair of AirPods when they were already very popular and everyone thought they were stylish. I bought my first pair of AirPods very close to thei…

If you have a 3D capable setup Gravity is a must! Avatar and Life of Pi are also some favorites. There’s also a few gems and lesser known films that were released on 3D Blu-Ray lik…

I have met people that will do this, and trust me, they are worth avoiding.

You are correct. I suppose it is a lot more nuanced. I believe a sound argument for copyright/DMCA would require: 1. Arguments to be made for the social utility in laws enabling su…
