rayuela··on How LSP could have been better
This browser AST viewer sounds pretty neat. Mind sharing a link to your repo of it?
rayuela··on Decentralized Artificial Intelligence
Yeah, let's not be so adversarial towards Ian.
rayuela··on Tesla Bot Update – Sort and Stretch [video]
Psshhh they're only a few GPUs short of training this bot to drive the car for you. Checkmate!
rayuela··on We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT
Can you share a github link to this? Where are you reducing the latency? Are you processing the raw audio to text? In my experience ChatGPT generation time is much faster than local Lllama unless you're using something potato like a 7B model.
rayuela··on Why are American workers becoming harder to find?
Get outta here with your logic!
rayuela··on Reinforcement Learning at Facebook
Lol, almost thought the URL was COERCION.com!

rayuela··on California Voters Exempt Uber, Lyft, DoorDash from Having to Reclassify Drivers
This was a proper roast. I really needed a good laugh this morning.
rayuela··on Ask HN: How do I improve my command of mathematical language?
Watch some lectures or pick up an undergrad book on Real Analysis. You don't have to become an expert in it by any means, but the motivation and logic underlying most of the math you will encounter will become much clearer. It's hard, but don't give up on it. It will be worth it. Before delving into analysis I felt like I was just memorizing and following formulas. It really is like the fundamentals of Math.
rayuela··on Array-Oriented Programming with NumPy-1
Hahaha seriously this alt documentation is actually an excellent intro with very clear explanation of foundational concepts. Makes for a decent cheat sheet, wish I'd found this sooner!
rayuela··on Firefox usage is down despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up
Well as another comment points out, they're being paid so generously in order to be fair to the CEO's family.
rayuela··on Microsoft gets exclusive license for OpenAI’s GPT-3 language model
Yeah and they turned down some fat salaries to go work at OpenAI instead. They were some of the biggest names in the game when they turned down those Google offers.
rayuela··on Mozilla Is Crowdsourcing Research into YouTube Recommendations
Couldn't care less about this. Just put out a paid version of Firefox that dedicates this revenue stream exclusively to continued Firefox development and I will happily pay fist fulls of money for it. Seriously, Firefox adds so much value to my life and I'd happily pay for it.
rayuela··on We View Nikola’s Response as a Tacit Admission of Securities Fraud
Ok is this actually real? Is truckinginfo.com a reputable site? That quote sounds so outlandishly crazy I'm hesitant to believe someone actually said that.
rayuela··on Apple to delay privacy change threatening Facebook, mobile ad market
Holy hell that's shady as fuck. I would have never found that and I've gone out of my way to disable as much of this type of shit on my phone as possible. There's no way in hell the average user is ever going to stumble upon that setting.
rayuela··on Safari adopts the Chrome/Firefox extension model
Fuuuuuckkk! I got so excited for a minute there. My biggest regret moving from droid to apple was giving up ublock.

Wow this makes way more sense now. Was so puzzled to see Walmart jumping in on this, now it seems obvious.
rayuela··on Bitcoin-collateralized loans coming to Coinbase
Wow can't believe no one's thought of that before. How can you lose?!?!?! You do you Mr. 200IQ
rayuela··on Bitcoin-collateralized loans coming to Coinbase
Yeah my point was to be a disclaimer on your comment for what a stupid idea it is.
rayuela··on Bitcoin-collateralized loans coming to Coinbase
Your suggestion is to take this high interest loan to take a long position in a high risk high yield speculative investment in other cryto... wut? This is like telling people to buy cryto with their credit card....
rayuela··on Atlas: End-to-End 3D Scene Reconstruction from Posed Images
Yeah I have to agree. If this were a PhD thesis it would certainly deserve some praise, but given that this is the most exciting thing to come out of magic leap in years just barely puts them on par with SOTA...well I would be pretty pissed if I was an investor in them.
rayuela··on Airbnb Plans to File Confidentially for IPO in August
Just a 100Bn? Why not make up a bigger number?
rayuela··on Electric cooker an easy, efficient way to sanitize N95 masks, study finds
Wow this is actually incredible if this works. However this study was tested bacteria and relate it to covid in the following way:

"an ozone application achieves a high level of disinfection against PsA, a vegetative bacteria that the CDC identifies as more difficult to kill than medium sized viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19)"

Would the implication be that this same method works on covid as well? That is not immediately apparent to me...

rayuela··on How Chinese Officials Hijacked My Company
Were you trying to be ironic? You have presented exactly the problem OP is complaining about...
rayuela··on How Chinese Officials Hijacked My Company
How is this downvoted to oblivion 5 minutes after posting?
rayuela··on How Chinese Officials Hijacked My Company
Nationalism, Identity Politics, and don't forget the paid shills. It's the same problems you see in any large public online forum. I think addressing this issue is actually something for a very interesting discussion.
rayuela··on Ask HN: I have $450K cash, what should I do to maximize my return?
how do you offset the decay?

The actual headline on the article is far more interesting:

"Microsoft in Talks to Acquire TikTok, as U.S. Considers Banning the App "
