They also review a huge amount of the code changes and rubber duck/plan/troubleshoot a lot

My guess is they would take longer to ramp up but then have a better understanding of the codebase and domain. But there’s a lot of pressure to get up to speed as a new hire and it…

The problem is we need to be reducing our use of highly polluting energy sources and shifting to renewable sources. The more our energy use increases the harder it is to do so.

Yes but people need food in order to live (I think golf courses - and some pools - are quite wasteful and would support tax incentives around them.)

I wrote this as a quick rant for catharsis (after it was already sold out.) "A fool and his money are soon parted" It feels like you could make this response to most articles criti…

Yeah, the genie may be out of the bottle now. I wish we weren't in this situation and cooler heads had prevailed earlier on. I have serious concerns about how quickly this is accel…

You might be right. Just don't expect me to cheer on the arms dealers during the arms race.

Wow this is despicable. I'm glad the California attorney general is investigating this.

It sure seems like it would be being built more slowly if these companies weren't pouring billions of dollars into building it as fast as possible. That might give us more time to …

Isn’t this whole article about how they’re doing so right now?

Does that include the training?

Five of the top eleven posts right now are about AI: 1. Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model [ https://thinkingmachines.ai/news/introducing-inkling/ ] 2. High-Bandwidth Flash offers eff…

It’s bizarre to me to hear that HN has an anti-AI bent. This is the place I see AI discussed the most. Admittedly the opinions here are mixed. A lot of people do have negative feel…

You would rather build data centers than buy school supplies or implement a nationwide high speed commuter rail network?

It may be valuable. It seems like a stretch to call a reimplementation novel.

I tried to get our team to enforce a max PR size. It worked for a while. There is a GitHub action that you can configure to fail if the PR is too large. But then we started a new p…

The purpose of good writing style is to communicate more effectively. Sometimes you’re trying to communicate education or class. Often that’s not the main goal.

Agreed. As someone who has built landing pages like that professionally you take inspiration from a wide range of sources. Directly copying is tacky and immoral - it's also not eff…

That's awesome, thanks for playing!

I think we’ll stop predicting the future soon. By the end of this year or next, the year after at the very latest.
