It's funny seeing the doom and gloom cycles over Google's AI future on HN. Google was basically considered dead business not even a year ago on here. If there is one thing true it'…

Equally interesting to me is how Citadel made up a rumor about the FED raising rates at this weeks FOMC meeting causing a historic selloff in AI stocks which then allowed them to p…

> Mirza Ghasemi: A smoked eggplant dish cooked with garlic, tomatoes, and eggs, from the Caspian Sea area. Eggplant is one of those incredible veggies that seemingly not a lot of p…

I've seen men shed their egos and women become incredible caretakers when they're with their children and they carry some of that joyfulness, compassion and humanity into the world…

BT's moat is data. 40 years of data engineering, building relationship with data providers, consuming direct exchange feeds, building proprietary data sets, normalizing and cleanin…

When I was a teenager I always had Knoppix on a floppy disk in my bag to do illicit things on school computers :)

Does loss of muscle mass, commonly associated with Ozempic weight loss, become an issue after regaining the weight? Can it result in proportionally more fat at the same body weight…

This seems to be the answer. Building a rig with a decent graphics card will cost $2k+ and will produce sub-par results. Might as well milk the $100/m Claude sub until open-source …

This hit home. My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer last week and had a large portion of his colon removed last Thursday. Polyps, which often become cancerous given time, can tak…

For context, property values have gone up 40-50% since 2021. Additional expenses are much easier to digest when you're not already paying an arm and a leg for a house at much highe…

I would really recommend getting a Home Warranty. I probably saved myself $7-$8K just in the last year fixing all kinds of electrical, plumbing and HVAC issues.

Most of the job losses are in tech and it all started back in late 2022 and early 2023 arguably before AI was perceived as a real threat. I think after 3 years of tech hiring melti…

Not trying to get into conspiracies, but about a month ago Michael Burry revealed that he opened a position in $GME which seemed very strange. Now with the news of a potential eBay…

GameStop CEO was on CNBC and acted like a total dick the entire time after they asked him how financing would work for this deal [1]. It appears that he's upset that Squawk Box pre…

I know this is anecdotal but after almost 2 years of no activity, I have been absolutely hounded by recruiters for nearly a month. They show up in my LinkedIn feed and I get multip…

Why is the ecosystem bad? I haven't ran any .net code on anything but Linux in years. The open source community is great. I don't know why it gets a bad rep.

Can we just get back to html/jQuery/handlebars? Those were the good old days :`(

LOL, very true.

In my opinion, the “code is garbage” argument is a moot point. Anthropic is in the business of removing humans from the SDLC. As long as their models can understand and update the …

Will there be any built releases available?

How do escalations work for statphone? If the first group doesn't respond to the call, does it escalate to the second group while the call is in progress still? What happens if the…
