Also his accompanying YouTube video mentions the kit retails for $40,000+, a far cry from $15k.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So if we can somehow preserve the signal and make it go round and round, can we get long term storage out of nothing?
Not a scientist, but I assume the signal would degrade or mutate over time due to space radiation and other radio waves.
Yup. And if you dared to bring this up in the comments (ie. your own rewrite of a title/post), you’d get reminded of the guidelines and downvoted/flagged. Because fuck honesty - we are here for clicks and engagements. This is a good step. Next: disclose financial incentives and other motives just to nip it in the bud.
well, I think OP is quite funny and I really enjoyed it, but it definitely goes against the entire idea of approaching things in good faith. I'm sure some or even many of them are sadly accurate, but if reinterpreting things people say through that lens became the behavioral norm on HN I think it would quickly destroy everything many people love about this place. Just my 2 cents of course.
I’m all for prefacing each post that comes from a16z with “Asshole Alert” so that we know who we are dealing with upfront.
does not deserve the roast
"I built a language nobody will use just to learn generics"
It's not fair to assume the author didn't know how to implement generics before this project. It's also not fair to assume the project won't gain traction. Zig and Rust started out small too! This just goes a little too far for my tastes.
I got a good chuckle out of some of the titles. In Jeff Geerling's defence (the title on the site reads "Rich developer spends $15k to run a model slightly faster"), he was loaned the Mac Studios from Apple and so he didn't spend a dime. Also his accompanying YouTube video mentions the kit retails for $40,000+, a far cry from $15k.
Plus some of the stories seem to be a bit old like openai board controversy remark.
All in all, some funny stuff i agree!
Who unfortunately stopped posting HN critiques, a few years ago. But you can still read old posts on: http://n-gate.com/hackernews/2021/07/
(If you follow that link from HN, and the site sees an HN `Referer`, it will do a fake captcha load, so then click "HACKERNEWS" in the navbar on the right.)
