This seems to just be a rewrite of https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-ai-hiring-freeze-fda6b3c4 . Can we replace the link?

thanks for hosting the model! i created an account to try it out, you started emailing me with “important notice: low account balance - action required” and now it seems like there…

Yep, very odd, my guess would be this was sent to the reporter by their comms contact at Softbank and they literally copy/pasted it. For context, here’s the full paragraph. The pos…

https://twofergoofer.com/ A daily whimsical rhyming word game that uses generative AI. We’ve got a pretty dedicated base of users by this point through other channels but it’s neve…

It’s fine to view the hiring process from recruiters’ perspective, but man, some parts of this article. > The job she posted listed its selling points — the business had 400 percen…

The article mentions high gas fees impacting refunds, and I was wondering what the extent of that impact was. The article doesn’t answer that question, but it does link to a tweet …

Thanks for leaving the post up and for responding here. I’m curious if and how your approach to writing has changed since you wrote the piece. What strikes me about the piece is th…

This has been my experience as well. At a prior job, we experimented with deferring reporting/tracking functions until the browser was idle, and then firing the remaining tracking …

Why is sexist satire on the front page of HN?

If I were you, I’d go with Vanguard index funds, which have the lowest fees in the industry. I would pick a fund/funds that matches my risk target/preferences (e.g. equity funds ri…

Congrats to HashiCorp for their IPO and for building an awesome suite of tools. I attended a Papers We Love meetup back in 2015 where Armon Dadgar, HashiCorp's CTO, gave the main t…

From an NYT op-ed by Michael Pollan[1] published earlier this month: > As for other Americans who want to use psychedelics in a more secular setting, it’s easy to imagine spa-like …

Congrats on your product. I'm curious what lead to you all creating this product, after you spent "years working at data brokers." Perhaps this is too harsh an analogy, but how is …

I’d recommend High Performance Browser Networking by Ilya Grigorik[0]. It’s definitely less in-depth/comprehensive than some of the other suggestions here but I’ve found it to be a…

Have to briefly chime in here to partially defend Rails :) I agree that immutable data structures > mutable data structures, and while I don't have experience working with Elixir, …

I don't have much to add about the behavior of Repl.it's CEO, but I find it amusing that he used "demanding" as a pejorative for the intern. "Entitled" or "unreasonable", sure, tho…

Last time I checked on Robinhood (and maybe they've changed it since then), when you want to buy options on their app, their UI gives you two options: "I think the stock is going t…

I generally agree with the advice in this article; I feel like a lot of the pushback here is people who don’t like the system this post is describing. That’s totally fair! I share …

Yes, I didn’t mean to make that implication (although I see now I could have phrased it better). My main point was that this injustice seems especially egregious given the sacrific…

Horrifying. The Dartmouth med school faculty identifies 17 students they suspect as cheating. Nearly half of these they eliminate as false positives. Rather than grappling with the…

Seems like a solid, albeit somewhat dry explanation of inflation. I love concrete examples of how inflation impacts people’s lives, and there are a few that really helped clarify m…

NY Magazine too. After renewing my subscription at 2x the original rate I paid, they made it incredibly difficult to cancel. When I called their customer support, they told me I ha…
