I definitely think 20% is not that crazy, especially considering the gains those railroad investments are probably still paying to this very moment.

I can give you some anecdata on this. Just yesterday I was talking with my Trump-supporter family members, and they literally had no idea he'd been convicted for felony fraud - the…

I think you're joking but there was a company in my area that famously stuck by their "mob programming" approach where 5+ developers would sit in a room, 1 would drive, and the res…

We’re so good at it we’re going to outcompete ourselves in fact

Replication is great but it’s not the only way science learns and it would be foolish to put that kind of limit on publishing your work.

That seems appealing but then as the applicant you’re at the whim of a LLMs biases, which are even harder to discern than humans.

Except that’s a regular experience I’ve encountered while job hunting this winter. It’s either that or what, don’t apply to a good job that I want? The applicant has no leverage in…

I got hired off of a HN thread a few years back. Worked on an open source message queue in Go for a year or so before lay offs hit. Overall, I’d do it again, HN is a solid culture …

I think it’s more widespread than you might think. Flat earth and similar conspiracies play on distrust in academia, which is absolutely flourishing right now.

Ive seen this referred to as “AI drift” before and I see it being a long term problem of data sets for training. As always, the quality of the data set determines the quality of th…

I wrote an open source one in Go that I'm still working on. It's never meant for production. The code is at github.com/dylanlott/orderbook and there's an accompanying write up on i…

"Boycotting", "cancelling", both seem to be democracy in action. And non-majority views is too ambiguous a definition. This would put vegans on the same side of the scale as extrem…

This is a false premise. Without understanding why each account was banned and what infraction was cited we can't make a clear comparison or judgment about either case. Otherwise i…

I don’t understand the inclusion of cancellation in this argument. How is cancellation different from boycotting, a right long upheld by the Supreme Court with direct legal ties to…

> caring only about money Seems to me this would make them the _most_ political entity.

Why the sympathy for these white collar criminals that have ruined lives in numbers comparable to crimes that we lock other people up for decades for committing?

Highly recommend fly.IO. I have stopped reaching for anything else. For go servers, I just copy their Go starter template and deploy it. It is the fastest way I’ve found to get a p…

A majority in one company of an overall underrepresented demographic isn’t the oppression that you so desperately want it to be.

> “Here’s a reality check for you with a completely different scenario but a conclusion that reaffirms my bias” It’s really a terrible argument to compare hiring for a physically i…

I’m frankly just disappointed. There’s a comment in this thread questioning how much they had to “dumb down” the interviews for women. It’s fucked up in this field and it frustrate…

I don’t think I will, thanks

It’s not identity politics to call out blatantly sexist statements that question the intelligence and capabilities of women in this field. The men aren’t being “sexually discrimina…
