I'd also consider myself to be a direct communicator and always think twice when reviewing someone's PR / doing code review. My team is completely remote and things can get awkward…

The system is designed to favour wealth over income. Income tax vs capital gains tax is a good way to demonstrate that. Another example of this is how homeowners are treated vs ren…

I'm in favour of keeping phones away from students during school hours - Yondr pouches or storing them in a locker makes sense. It's very unlikely that there will be an emergency t…

HN is really getting flooded with AI/GPT posts lately. Anyway, this[1] is a really good introduction to Prompt Engineering and how one can tailor prompts for their use-case. Intere…

I know you said wanted a no-code solution but in case you don't get a satisfactory answer try this out. Earlier today there was a Show HN post[1] which showed how to visualize a Pa…

I'm interested in this as well but don't know enough about how other entities do it. How do the World Bank, IMF, other governments, etc go about this? As outlined in the article, c…

I just realized that Patrick McKenzie is the author of some of my favorite blog posts[1][2]. After his departure from Stripe, I hope he gets back to writing more frequently. [1] - …

Can you send me your resume? I'm a Data Scientist, and can ask around in my circles if there is a job opening. Can't guarantee anything though. Email is in my bio.

I also knew what you meant but it was more for those people who skip the article and comment based solely on the title. Sidenote - if you can find the time, you should write more o…

The author says silence but means isolation - ".....isolation without any signals or external validation until it’s complete" I'd say this is just the first stage of creating somet…

Blind[1] is a decent community to get a glimpse into what employees truly feel about employers, get referrals and overall tech career advice. It can get rather toxic and troll-ey a…

I guess I'm coming at it from the opposite direction. Lets assume the some entity creates AGI. Which entity would you rather it be? 1. Government - it'll prolly be hidden from the …

Since OpenAI is a "capped-profit" company [1], the employees and investors only get up to 100X their initial investment. Anything beyond that would still go to the OpenAI non-profi…

Which device are you talking about? I know of several Android phones that have this feature (it is off by default though).

"I know false-alarms like mine will be rare, and the potential life-saving benefit far outweighs the inconvenience of my particular situation. But there has to be a better way to d…

1B+ MAU along with the fact that people spend more time on TikTok than all streaming services combined. Its quite stunning how quickly TikTok is growing, and given the new ways in …

3) I haven't used GCP except for Looker + BigQuery, and for the most part I have been a satisfied customer. Sharing data and dashboards across teams for non-(engineers + data scien…

Makes me wonder about copyright when it comes to voice synthesis via AI. Like legally speaking, did they "need" JEJ to sign off on this as opposed to just using his voice as traini…

Shot in the dark here: I guess its another source of feedback that can validate findings from other data. Like getting the data points explicitly from the user as opposed to inferr…

Not exactly an unexpected outcome. What really surprised me is this stat: "At the peak of our 'great reshuffle' we saw a year-on-year increase of 50% of LinkedIn members changing j…

I was listening to the Lex Fridman interview of John Carmack[1] the other day and find myself agreeing with Carmack. Essentially, building the metaverse is insanely difficult but a…
