millisecond··on If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos
Next step they'll rebrand search as "Copilot Search" or auto enable pull-request AI reviews (unless you hear about it and turn each off) and we'll all be "users".

Boiling the frog with a Venn diagram.

millisecond··on What OpenAI did when ChatGPT users lost touch with reality
As a society we have undertaken massive efforts to reduce all of those. Certainly debatable if it's been enough but ignoring the new thing by putting zero effort in while it's still formative seems short-sighted.
millisecond··on Exponentially faster language modelling
Could this be applied to other models like Llama2 or Mistral?
millisecond··on See's Candies is Warren Buffett’s ‘dream’ investment
I think this is part of why they’re so expensive. If you can only go off reputation, you pay for it.
millisecond··on No One Wanted A&W's Third-Pound Burger (2016)
Kinda reminds me of all the early Twitter clones where you could post 141 or unlimited or whatever size posts. Just thinking that mathematically bigger is immediately better in all dimensions seems like a common fallacy.
millisecond··on UFOs: 'These objects show physics we don't understand'
How old is your kid? Feeling like it’s early for my 8 yo, but curious when it might work.
millisecond··on At Home with Down Syndrome (2008)
Different situation but I have a 6yo with downs and this rings true to me.

He’s always trying to crack a joke. He’ll say loudly “good night Uschi!” (his grandmother’s nickname) to my wife with a grin on his face like he made the funniest joke. Not Seinfeld over here but we laugh pretty hard.

millisecond··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2021)
Wrble (https://www.wrble.com) | (Technical Content Marketing: Remote Always) (Developer Customer Success: Remote Always) | Full-time Come help make logging better. New tech makes logging cheaper and faster, help us spread the word and make customers successful.

At Wrble we have an engineering-first culture and are looking to hire people with technical backgrounds that are tired of the software-grind and want to look at other adjacent positions.

Both positions are fully remote now and in the future.

Posted this before but re-posting with a bunch of updates.
millisecond··on Starting Sunday, cable companies can no longer ‘rent’ you the router you own
Why do we need a special case law for this? Seems like it should already be covered.
millisecond··on Solarwinds' Loggly and Papertrail Default to Sending Unencrypted Logs
I'm not sure what's factually incorrect, as you mention the article says they support it. But their default instructions are very vague about it.

Papertrail for example, their primary syslog configuration page: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/paper...

Way down they say "Optionally, configure encrypted logging with TLS." but don't mention it in the intro paragraphs, or that it's a best-practice, or that people should do it... just that it's "optional".

millisecond··on TikTok to be banned from US app stores from Sunday
The Oracle deal didn’t cut it? Did I miss something?
millisecond··on Mystery seeds: Amazon bans foreign plant sales in US
It’s likely a totally different product, the seeds just give a verified shipping history. They review the other product on their own account that “ordered” the seeds. The seeds are cheap and make it untraceable back to the original product.
millisecond··on Dependency
There’s also m.xkcd.com if you tire of hovers.
millisecond··on Apple rejects Hey for second time, threatens removal from App Store
The rules can be very subjective and inconsistently applied.
millisecond··on It’s Time to Build
We don’t need to build more things without a market, we need to buy more things that are built right. There’s a surgical mask manufacturer in the states who had capacity a few weeks ago but no hospital would sign a contract, they wanted masks immediately and then go straight back to buying from Asia once this blows over. This same thing could be said for many other categories in the post.

If you buy it, people will build it.

millisecond··on Japan's PM to ask all schools to temporarily close
Curious which software platform your school system uses, if you can share.
millisecond··on Show HN: OneDev – A Lightweight GitLab Alternative
As an old school java dev, love seeing it used here! If you’d like to talk about cloud vs on-prem design, hit me up at the email in my profile. I’ve thought about it a lot.
millisecond··on Colorado Town Offers 1 Gbps for $60 After Years of Battling Comcast
Without the exclusivity agreement, it sounds like you wouldn’t have been reconnected. A community provider probably wouldn’t allocate 70k in capital to bring 3 (potential) customers online.

So you’re benefitting by the subsidy of users in denser areas being forced into exclusivity.

millisecond··on Designing Analytics for Growth Measurement
Author here, happy to answer any Q's.
millisecond··on More Fires Now Burning in Angola, Congo Than Amazon
Anyone have a reference for fire area in all these places? All the stories I’ve seen use “number of fires” which seems useless to figure out severity/comparisons.
millisecond··on Ebola Is Now Curable
But I wouldn’t call the disease “cured”.
millisecond··on Contributing to the Mozilla code base
You need all of that (structures, algorithms, confidence, etc), especially if you're going for a FAANG. But the biggest thing I see new grads lacking is the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in the workplace and on teams. At most smaller startups that's maybe even more important than raw ability.

Find any way you can to gain practical experience. Internships, consulting, open-source. Really anything. The bonus is that you'll gain confidence through this path as well. You'll know you're capable of doing the full job (not just the work).

millisecond··on Contributing to the Mozilla code base
My hunch is that you have a blind spot that’s getting you flagged at the recruiter stage. I’ve interviewed a ton of devs, I’d be happy to run through a sample interview and give you feedback if you’re up for it.
millisecond··on Opera, Brave, Vivaldi to ignore Chrome's anti-ad-blocker changes
All of the other browsers shouldn’t worry about store nonsense, just ship u-block by default and enabled. Fight fire with fire.
millisecond··on Amazon’s Ring Is Putting Suspected Petty Thieves in Its Advertisements
Had one yelling at me through the home office window the other day. Took me 5 minutes of blowing off his various pitches to get rid of him. So annoying.
millisecond··on Statement Regarding FedEx’s Relationship with Amazon
Boggles my mind why they’d have different last mile trucks. How could that be better?
millisecond··on Developers – here is the best WHY to quit your 9–5 job
I've been thinking a lot about the compression in salaries lately. More from the stance that if senior developer salaries are incrementally higher than junior that it seems like building an all-senior team would have business value. Maybe that's all obviated by the new tech/learning, but in my experience seniors greatly outperform juniors when you're dealing with hard problems.

Not sure about the "oh it's so easy to start your thing, just do it" part of the article though.

millisecond··on GitHub removes 5 years of One Hour One Life designer's work
The frustrating thing to me is that this guy will get this solved and we’ll all move on. He’s reasonably well known and had enough Twitter juice to get attention. All the small people who end up in this situation, whatever it truly is, without those resources will remain screwed.
