Wow this is the first time I've seen a real visible bug on HN.

SO-101 ARM robotics handling. Options for getting into robotics more expensive and less varied than I expected!

Coding is the new punch card slots now. My children will listen in awe about how typing and testing used to take hours or even (gasp!) days.

I can't buy a Waymo right now. I can buy a Tesla though.

Thank you for spelling out some good points. They always seemed obvious to me but I could never clearly explain them.

Exactly my thoughts, AWS is due for a large rewrite/ground up rewrite from first principles to be able to fully utilize LLMs/agentic capabilities.

Javascript logic for a clickable three.js 3d menu / world environment with animated planets going on their own trajectories.

Can't we just do a count(*) on the number of unique mobile numbers in every country? And add some estimate for children etc.

On one hand, meta has a bad reputation for being a toxic pip factory where employees can be laid off any time. On the other hand, they are consistently coming out with innovations in VR/glasses at a time when the industry is going crazy over openai funny money. Are toxic work practices actually good for innovation?

Hundreds of people in my circle who use airbnb and uber daily/monthly disagree with you. Could this be unnecessary pessimism?

Maybe it just needs provenance. So bad actors can't flood the system.

Counter to the above is that, your bad actor may be my leader. People like convenience. When someone is expressing what you want to say, in a better and smarter way, you just reshare/retweet them. And the 'other side' will feel like your leader is a 'bad actor' who is flooding the system. So even the method of resharing/retweeting needs some sort of provenance/single use only. So you can 'agree' with your thought leader, but they shouldn't be able to mass manufacture consent. Since you might even reshare 'fake news' since you generally trust your leader. It's messy, not sure what that would look like - every post that starts getting traction needs to be fact checked? Community Notes on X is a step in the right direction maybe.

Does this conflate the number of new visas issued to new workers, with the existing visas renewed by already settled-in-US workers (that must be renewed every 3 years)?

Because due to the GC backlog, the existing visas do not go down for 2 major contributing countries.

Hopefully atleast 1-2 good years before we start skipping the starting of answers.

I recently interviewed an engineer who was somehow using ChatGPT realtime on another laptop beside him. The irony was that the questions were pretty simple overall and our rubric also wasn't very strict, so he likely would have passed if he just used his memory and common sense. Though the answers weren't wrong overall, I still felt cheated because of the deception and had to reject him later.

Strategy distillation seems like gradient update in a way? Or would that be at a higher abstract level.

Curious what is the rationale for this rule. Not against or for it or anything, just interested in what historical precedent led to this logic.

Not to mention you have to be logged in, it's like a paywall for me. I don't want to create an account on X and pay with my mental health.

Should cloudflare ever be the target of an attempted takeover by Musk and co (like Twitter or the ongoing NIH/USAID saga) you can be sure you won't be able to access any 'inclusive' websites anymore...

> individual 'hallucinations' can't be treated as bugs to troubleshoot

You are wrong here - my company can fix individual responses by adding specific targeted data for the RAG prompt. So a JIRA ticket for a wrong response can be fixed in 2 days.

Bought a DJI drone. Not sure what I expected, but I did expect big changes in my life. Unsurprisingly, I rarely fly it now.

That sounds so dystopian. What do kids even do at 12? How can you ask them to decide the course of their life at 12, generally they get segregated while choosing an undergrad major around 16 right!

When I was a child I dreamed of being a professional sportsperson - a soccer star or a tennis pro. Now in my late 20s, I shudder thinking of the pressure/stress, injuries and constant competitiveness that my life would have been if I had gone down that path.

I would love to read his documentation! Even if I don't know anything about the topic.

Hilarious!

I live in the US. FB Groups have really become useful over the last 1-2 years. Very useful for connecting with local musicians, planning trips around concerts, discussing immigration related worries and making fun of soccer players. Feels like it's basically becoming an easier-to-use reddit.

Also, unrelated I've started seeing erotic content on suggested reels. These low-quality videos have hundreds of comments and millions of views. All contributing to fb usage.

Just for nostalgia, I'd like to shake the hands of the programmer/team who added the code allowing cheatcodes.

Interesting approach, making the links dynamic could help in last-mile mobility as well.

The new people in the next cycle are the freshly graduated high schoolers and new grads who weren't following the news previously and have their joining bonuses and RSUs waiting in the bank.

Yes, the only reason that prods me away from a samsung phone. I don't want unnecessary apps on my screens/mindspace.

> That doesn’t really qualify for a job by itself

Apple often asks it's ML engineering candidates to explain attention & transformers from scratch.
