> Everyone has been getting sold that these tariffs are on "China" or fill-in-the-blank on what country we're "getting" with them.

Just like Mexico will pay for the wall?

> The reality is that's a fundamental misunderstanding of what a tariff is.

Nope! It's a politician talk! People fall for lies whenever they are sold wrapped in a label of "cheap prices".

> Arrow can also eliminate the need to serialize/de-serialize data when sharing (ex: a high performance data pipeline) because different consumers / tools / operations can use the same memory representation as-is.

Not sure if I misunderstood, what are the chances those different consumers / tools / operations are running in your memory space?

> MIT Technology Review has confirmed that posts on Moltbook were fake

Why should that surprise anyone? They engineered their virality, just like what Reddit did during its early days

It’s definitely not causing shortages of people, with tens of thousands and more getting laid off every month!

The AI boom is just like a conference- where new and shiny seems to do wonders, but when you come back to workplace, none of that seem to work or fit in!

> What would you suggest as an alternative?

Just keep trying, especially when others have given up

> evolution of the Tesla door handle

I really like Tesla's approach to door handles - it's clean, polished, and gives a fine and smooth look. But was surprised to learn that China will ban them beginning next year. Other countries might follow suit as well.

For now! They’ll get something from open market like the last time when Apple refused to decrypt (or unlock?) a phone for them.

Is the logic behind "Usage Forecast" and "Reorder Planner" hard-coded somewhere? I'm not seeing any configuration for that, so I had to ask the question.

You designed and sold a lamp for $1500! You’ve won a lottery!!

Exactly! Right thrives on conspiracy theories, and being Rules and law advocates. All that sweet talk is only when they aren’t in power.

> the useful lifespan of the gpus in 4-6 years. Sooo what happens when you need to upgrade or repair?

Average life of starlink satellite is around 4-5 years

> Precheck by itself does not

Now! But, when it started it definitely required.

> And don't get me started with all the paid express security lanes. Because of course only poor people can weaponize shoes and laptops.

It wasn't just pay for play! TSA-PreCheck and Global Entry approval requires a thorough background check of your residential, work, and travel history, also in-person interview. Unfortunately, some Privacy activists prefer not doing that over occasional convenience.

The first M&A announcement I've seen in my entire life that includes a laughing emoji; maybe that's what it is!

Did you tweet them - https://x.com/googlecloud?

If it's so important, maybe talk with a lawyer.

> Months ago I replaced my daily dinner with a mix

Any particular reason for changing your dinner and not BF or lunch?

Are you saying companies where the schedule is set by management tend to fail?

The comments have their own overdose of deliciousness. That click to look at them, never disappoints :-)

They both are privately held by the same owner! So, with whom are they talking? :-)

> avoid "novel" projects to avoid getting laid off

Everything is novel in big tech. Just like once kindle, one click checkout, even Amazon itself was.

> If you don’t have ideas, spent more time away from the screen, they will come.

Love that, and you stated a fact. Or, rethink other products!

Well, besides that TikTok is censoring “Epstein” now. Is that a tech issue as well?

If you can upload any video but ICE brutality then I want to conduct system design session with their architect, tech lead, and CTO!

> I want to build my own video model, just for learning purposes

Sorry, it might sound like a cliche, but try that as a prompt to a deep thinking and learning model, and see what comes out.

> for Essay Writing Task

So, is it ok for coding? :-)

> In fact, most are more than eager to disagree with me :D (even though I’m their superior)

They must have spent a lot of time out of India or they are in senior roles.

> Ebay doesn't want to deal with charge backs for hallucinate purchases

A charge back doesn’t mean buyer always wins. Imagine if credit card companies also pass a rule - “LLM or AI purchases are non-refundable”.

On a different note - once I tried to cancel an eBay order within a minute, both eBay and seller declined. It’s so fked up with them.

> The moment you start rubber-stamping those, you end up with a codebase you don't understand.

Yeah, treat it like an intern or junior engineer who needs constant feedback and reviews.

Grab bathroom door handle with a napkin then or use a pocket hand sanitizer

They shouldn’t have turned away Apple then!

> Some kids start working at 14 or 15: they can be trusted to work somewhere outside of home, but not online?

It’s not just the kids, but stalkers and criminals. There’s a reason full driving and drinking age is 18.
