I completely agree that people are vastly undervaluing convenience, reliability and SaaS being essentially a great way to make something “someone else’s problem”. The count argumen…

I wonder if there’s a simpler and less interesting answer? That it’s just picking up on voice and style, not anything that would apply to the average non-writer? This person is a s…

https://sprites.dev as well (it’s a fly.io product). They look suspiciously identical…

A small warning for folks. I once was responsible for migrating a legacy business app to Azure, and the app had a local MSSQL server co-running with the app (the same pattern that …

I don't understand all the pessimism and incredulity about the valuation. This is an acquisition to take on and disrupt Apple. Ives + Altman is perceived as a viable successor to t…

Sorry, I probably phrased that poorly - when you’re coding with AI, you should get in the habit of spending more time checking for security mistakes. Not sanitizing, not scoping pr…

What? Note for any juniors reading this: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Does the author enjoy writing code primarily because they enjoy typing? Are they not able to have the mental disci…

The fundamental problem here is lack of context - a human at your company reading that text would immediately know that Gorilla was not an insider term, and it’d stick out like a s…

I think the assumption is that this is going into a somewhat modern hashing algorithm like argon, bcrypt (created 1999 - that's a quarter-century ago), or scrypt with salt. With th…

Yes, edited!

Rails went through a down period 2014-2020 due to several reasons: 1. React burst on the scene in 2014 2. the hyperscale FANG companies were dominating the architecture meta with m…

I had a bad experience with Action Cable + Redis (extremely high memory overhead, tons of dead redis connections), so it's a bit "fool me once" with regard to action cables. The ma…

This was interesting, especially with the DCF example at the end - it’s pertinent to business sell decisions (assuming your ownership structure allows you to make a decision) shoul…

Thanks for doing the math and making this concrete! I think it’s interesting because: 1) it gives Waymo a higher target to shoot for - it hasn’t “solved” self-driving because its s…

I think it’s Waymo 6 accidents, not .6 if Waymo has ~1.2 accidents per 100k miles.

Because if Waymo is clearly a better driver than average, but not better than me, it might affect my decision to use one.

I’d like to see a comparison of Waymo to the top 10% of drivers, rather than average. I’d consider my dad a good driver - he’s driven many hundreds of thousands of miles without a …

Brilliant explanation - it puts into words and makes sense of some experiences I’ve had that are hard to articulate.

I actually disagree with this - HTML5/jsx is not a bad UI-building abstraction even for non-technical people. The things that make react complicated are syncing state with the back…

no, it’s not…

The section “Recognizing AI phishing attempts” is mournfully short, but there’s some companies out there like Jericho Security ( https://www.jerichosecurity.com ) that are working …

Since LLMs are bad at the null hypothesis (in this case, when a key does not exist in the source JSON), how does this prevent hallucinating transformations for missing keys?
