sakagami0··on SpaceX files to go public
Yea. It's hard to tell what's true anymore. I thought Russia would be out of resources in 3 months. It's been 4 years. I thought Rafah would survive. It's completely flattened. Thought global markets would crash after tariffs. It has survived.

I'm convinced we're in some kind of propaganda machine right now.

If you think launching a rack costs 100k, I think you need to continue your napkin math or youre not being true to yourself.

A GB300 costs about 70k, a rack is 72 of them.

The cost to launch is less than 2% overhead. Its is extremely feasible.

I used to watch him a lot, but he started talking about AI (I work at a big lab) and it was all wrong, so I'm not sure if I can trust his analysis anymore :(
sakagami0··on Layoffs at Block
This is not true. Its about 200ish devs now on x side. Rest are other functions, and its not close to 2800
sakagami0··on Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React
This guy is crazy to write an opinion article without examples (only the opinions) and without expertise or understanding of the history, the current solutions, and their differences.

React is bad is youre bad. Its much more fundamental than other frameworks. It also paradigms shifts from imperative to (more) functional. So if you are not comfortable with closures and side effects (like the author), you will get lost.

None of the pattern from any framework is new. Theres only so many ways to design systems, you either use callbacks, observers, or events. All have their pros and cons (where imo observers and events are inferior due to their quick branching factor in larger codebases). React gives the option to use any of these.

Yup, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture
sakagami0··on React I love you, but you're bringing me down
React is bad in the same way C++ is bad. It's not really, but it does take a while to learn the ins and outs. In the end, the pattern React provides is much more powerful when used right. But it's not a one size fits all, a lot of the time you don't need the flexibility if you're new to it and just want to get something done.

Right? If anyone likes 2 way binding they should have tried Polymer. 2 way binding is disgustingly complex for large projects and that's why everyone eventually drops it.

sakagami0··on Leaving Google
I worked on Chronicle and remember seeing your name everywhere. Thanks for all the help in the typescript channel, good luck at Figma!
sakagami0··on Leaving Google
Wow saved. I miss the amazing blogs and thoughts of people at Google, but unfortunately I don't miss the bureaucracy
sakagami0··on The Politics of Images in Machine Learning Training Sets
Recently, I came across some threads asking why data labeling is difficult. (I have my biases as engineer) In my opinion, it's because labeling it essentially determining truth. But, truth requires context, interpretation, and domain knowledge. Sometimes it's easy (with caveats like dataset bias, labeler bias, taxonomy bias). But, for more complex labels, truth is not easily abstractable nor tractable.

sakagami0··on Designing the perfect TypeScript schema validation library
A goal was you can treat it Exactly like an "Interface". I agree it looks totally nonsensical but I think of it as a text replacement.
sakagami0··on Designing the perfect TypeScript schema validation library
Wow I love it. It seems like a lot of us have encountered similar problems with TS. I am planning to shift what I made into something like yours, using right/left instead of throwing errors.

sakagami0··on Designing the perfect TypeScript schema validation library
Wow I made the same thing that I put v1 up a couple days ago.

https://github.com/tetranoir/presi

A main difference is I tried to get rid of having a separate line to create the Type and I tried to get rid of having to learn a new libary's api as much as possible.

Alice Technologies | Software Engineers, Senior Software Engineers, Full Stack Engineers | Menlo Park, CA | Onsite | http://alicetechnologies.com/ We at Alice are currently in the forefront of scheduling for building structures. The problem we made personal was the inefficiency (and lack of technological improvement) in the construction industry and we aim to solve it by introducing high tech, AI scheduling software to aid in planning and constructing real world projects. We think this is a great problem to solve because no other tech like ours exists. Where most other companies in this space focus on reporting, or task management, we tackle one of the hardest parts, the scheduling itself.

Our space lends us to have to solve many interesting problems from optimization, to modern ux flow, to graph theory, to fault tolerant services. We are currently seeded with a total of 3M funding and are striving to make our series A round. And we'd be happy to have more people on board before dilution :).

To apply, email me directly at arno@alicetechnologies.com with Hackernews in the title.

sakagami0··on Americans Are Dying Younger, Saving Corporations Billions
lmao idk where u come from but no evidence means no ground for argument. even if you made a point that you cant find evidence. If you accept that lack of evidence is evidence, then a i have a proposal for you that begins with r and ends with eligion.
sakagami0··on GitHub threatens to shut down a repository for using the word 'retard'
Honestly, the definition you provided is on par with what I usual go for when I use the insult directed at someone. And I'm okay with that.
sakagami0··on In Silicon Valley, many want sharing salary info to be less taboo
The "movement" is not the same as one for cancer or attacks, etc. Its a movement about information where publicity (transparency) is the goal. It achieves what people want, salary information to be transparent. From there, people can make their own judgements on how to act given that information. But without it, they have nothing.

Honestly, I don't see how this is clickbaity at all.

sakagami0··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
Speaking for Reddit, it was an unfortunate consequence of the pseudonymous and point system. As communities got larger, there would be less and less tolerance for discussion and focus would stray towards quick (easily digested) posts.

Although, the counter point is that people in general are less likely to produce discussion. Or, that a lack there of of easily digested posts invokes discussion.

>lamenting Asian values I think the article is realizes that most people praise what Asians are doing but don't yet realize its faults and is trying to bring up the counterpoint.

Rather than giving us a discussion, the writer attempts to dispel a myth so that we as the readers can have our own discussion.
