Dumb question, but how do they know if a codebase is actually written by an LLM? I know that sometimes code agents write "Co-authored by" in the commit messages, but this is someth…

The premise is that Git-LFS sucks, so we need to build a new data versioning system (in Rust, from scratch). While I mostly agree with this premise, but there are already lots of e…

"Chromebook" had a better ring to it.

I think in Picasa's case, they learned from that and turned it into Google Photos. I don't think there's any shared code, but at least they learned from it from a product perspecti…

There's lots of tools built on top of K8s to accomplish this tho. For example, Argo, Tekton, Flyte etc.

Does this affect Hacker News?

Have a look at ULIDs

Lots of comments about Avro Arrow here lool. As a Canadian, I'm both proud and saddened by the fact that although we have elite engineering talent, that talent tends to be drained …

Haha a lot of funny comments here. I think overall it's neither here nor there. You should be proud that the "elites" at Google copied your code ;)

Just read the original paper "Attention Is All You Need". Cohere's founder was the guy who wrote that paper in the first place.

Hold on... aren't there a bunch of incredily successful "open source" / "source available" companies? Databricks, Cockroach Labs, Hashicorp, MongoDB, Elasticsearch etc?

I think it’s a mix of “execs are the top dogs so they can decide to splurge a little on themselves”, the key is “a little”, I have no idea how much a private concert costs but anyt…

One can easily self host a bitwarden server on digitalocean. https://bitwarden.com/blog/digitalocean-marketplace/ However, I'm curious what y'all think about the cost. A digitaloce…

Just do what Go did.

This is old news already.

Why does every game have to be zero-sum? Why can't chatgpt live alongside search engines as just another category for results? Like "Images" and "Maps"? In fact, I look forward to …

Everyone already knows Google is tightening up, but no actual mass layoffs yet. There's no new information here.

Dex is also an interesting project in this space. It can act as an OIDC provider, but can be extended with other providers via "connectors". https://dexidp.io/

Nicee, but I feel like really the only thing you need to know as an eng is DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Sometimes RNA -> DNA via reverse transcriptase. Everything else is just normal Pyt…

Wait until our particle accelerators suddenly start saying "you are but bugs"...
