tayo42··on OpenAI's cash burn will be one of the big bubble questions of 2026
Can Claude not do that? I've sent it pictures for simpler things and got answers, usually Id of bugs and plants.
tayo42··on Go away Python
How much does python really impact ml? All of the libraries are wrappers around C code that uses gpus any way, it's distributed and inference can be written in faster languages for serving anyway?
tayo42··on Karpathy on Programming: “I've never felt this much behind”
There seems to be a lot of churn, like how js was. We can just wait and see what the react of llms ends up being.
tayo42··on Swapping SIM cards used to be easy, and then came eSIM
Are the cameras as good?
tayo42··on One year of keeping a tada list
Ai can't do anything like a good water color painting. Also they're physical, like any painting, they look different in real life
tayo42··on Ask HN: Pivot from SWE to What?
Leet code feels like doing crosswords. There's a right answer to it, it's like a puzzle. If completing is a grind that's more of a mindset thing and how your approaching it.
tayo42··on How I Left YouTube
Wouldn't be surprised if it was money. My family member runs a software company, salaries came up recently and found out I make as much as their director.
tayo42··on Meta is using the Linux scheduler designed for Valve's Steam Deck on its servers
Yeah that's what I was thinking of. Looks like it's also called seamless which I think the phrase I couldn't come up with was
tayo42··on Meta is using the Linux scheduler designed for Valve's Steam Deck on its servers
That wasn't what I was thinking about. There's a phrase for it using active and back up partitions but I can't find what it's called

You don't buy servers once every 5 years. I've done purchasing every quarter and forecasted a year out. You reduce your services budget for hardware by the amount saved for that year.

I think your first 2 sentances are pretty common issues though.
tayo42··on Meta is using the Linux scheduler designed for Valve's Steam Deck on its servers
If you have 50,000 servers for your service, and you can reduce that by 1 percent, you save 50 servers. Multiply that by maybe $8k per server and you have saved $400k,you just paid for your self for a year. With meta the numbers are probably a bit bigger.

Interesting to see server workloads take ideas from other areas. I saw recently that some of the k8s specific os do their updates like android devices

I feel like I rarely see contacting out work go well. This seems like an exception
tayo42··on The Illustrated Transformer
>the terms "Query" and "Value" are largely arbitrary and meaningless in practice

This is the most confusing thing about it imo. Those words all mean something but they're just more matrix multiplications. Nothing was being searched for.

tayo42··on Well being in times of algorithms
On its own an algorithmic feed is fine. Automatically give people what they want to see. Like TV without flipping channels.

It just turned into something out of control with unintended side effects and immoral goals.

tayo42··on If you don't design your career, someone else will (2014)
> would even guess that for the vast majority of successful careers, competency and luck played a much bigger role than being deliberate about it.

I think this is true. I had a while where my career was doing really well constant steps up, I was learning, getting promoted, was working on great projects and problems that were engaging and led to easy promotions. Then I got a new manager and it was downhill. Then I got a new job and the problems are insignificant and there's no room for growth of any kind. If my latest job was earlier in my career my career would be very different.

tayo42··on You’re not burnt out, you’re existentially starving
Kind of but 15 years ago if you met online it was an embarrassing thing or something only old people did.
tayo42··on ELF Crimes: Program Interpreter Fun
I think you can do it with qemu and gdb.

Unless the other os and debugger mentioned has an easy way to do it with a machine that's not virtualized?

tayo42··on Reasons not to become famous (2020)
I wish I was brave enough to try to get away with soemthing like that though.
tayo42··on Backing up Spotify
Yeah but you need a quarter million people every week according to that guy. That will drop off over time.
tayo42··on What's New in Python 3.15
it depends on what's in the if blocks
tayo42··on Backing up Spotify
You only need 5000 fans to buy your CD/album/w.e at $15 to make 80k
tayo42··on Brown/MIT shooting suspect found dead, officials say
50% of murders are unsolved
tayo42··on What makes you senior
How I became a staff engineer with 3 yoe making 140k/year
tayo42··on Rust's Block Pattern
Why does this need special syntax? Couldn't blocks do this if the expression returns a result in the end?
tayo42··on AWS CEO says replacing junior devs with AI is 'one of the dumbest ideas'
> but never get better at proper engineering (analysis) and development processes (debug). They also struggle to read and review code.

You can describe pre-ai developers and like that too. It's probably my biggest complaint about some of my Co workers

tayo42··on AWS CEO says replacing junior devs with AI is 'one of the dumbest ideas'
If the docs are poorly written then your not learning anything except how to control frustration
tayo42··on Thin desires are eating life
>wind up dodging tomatoes in the comment section as a result.

Pretty sure the first rule of writing on the internet is ignore the comments section
