I'd also consider myself to be a direct communicator and always think twice when reviewing someone's PR / doing code review. My team is completely remote and things can get awkward at times. Often, it may come off as…
The system is designed to favour wealth over income. Income tax vs capital gains tax is a good way to demonstrate that. Another example of this is how homeowners are treated vs renters. Specifically, in terms of tax…
I'm in favour of keeping phones away from students during school hours - Yondr pouches or storing them in a locker makes sense. It's very unlikely that there will be an emergency that warrants the immediate attention of…
HN is really getting flooded with AI/GPT posts lately. Anyway, this[1] is a really good introduction to Prompt Engineering and how one can tailor prompts for their use-case. Interesting podcast episode that touches on…
I know you said wanted a no-code solution but in case you don't get a satisfactory answer try this out. Earlier today there was a Show HN post[1] which showed how to visualize a Pandas dataframe (can come from CSV, JSON…
> While working-class immigrant Asian parents are forcing their kids to take test prep and piano lessons thinking that it’ll help their kids get into a better college, the wealthy Asian elite have already cracked the…
I'm interested in this as well but don't know enough about how other entities do it. How do the World Bank, IMF, other governments, etc go about this? As outlined in the article, common sense solutions do exist so the…
I just realized that Patrick McKenzie is the author of some of my favorite blog posts[1][2]. After his departure from Stripe, I hope he gets back to writing more frequently. [1] -…
Can you send me your resume? I'm a Data Scientist, and can ask around in my circles if there is a job opening. Can't guarantee anything though. Email is in my bio.
I also knew what you meant but it was more for those people who skip the article and comment based solely on the title. Sidenote - if you can find the time, you should write more often. I just went through your articles…
The author says silence but means isolation - ".....isolation without any signals or external validation until it’s complete" I'd say this is just the first stage of creating something, an MVP of sorts. After that you…
Blind[1] is a decent community to get a glimpse into what employees truly feel about employers, get referrals and overall tech career advice. It can get rather toxic and troll-ey at times, but you can filter that out to…
I guess I'm coming at it from the opposite direction. Lets assume the some entity creates AGI. Which entity would you rather it be? 1. Government - it'll prolly be hidden from the public under the garb of national…
Since OpenAI is a "capped-profit" company [1], the employees and investors only get up to 100X their initial investment. Anything beyond that would still go to the OpenAI non-profit. It seems like a reasonable…

Which device are you talking about? I know of several Android phones that have this feature (it is off by default though).
"I know false-alarms like mine will be rare, and the potential life-saving benefit far outweighs the inconvenience of my particular situation. But there has to be a better way to distinguish genuine crashes from…
1B+ MAU along with the fact that people spend more time on TikTok than all streaming services combined. Its quite stunning how quickly TikTok is growing, and given the new ways in which they plan to monetize their user…
3) I haven't used GCP except for Looker + BigQuery, and for the most part I have been a satisfied customer. Sharing data and dashboards across teams for non-(engineers + data scientists) is critical and Looker does a…
Makes me wonder about copyright when it comes to voice synthesis via AI. Like legally speaking, did they "need" JEJ to sign off on this as opposed to just using his voice as training data? In the near future, I imagine…
Shot in the dark here: I guess its another source of feedback that can validate findings from other data. Like getting the data points explicitly from the user as opposed to inferring it based on their behavior. Or…
Not exactly an unexpected outcome. What really surprised me is this stat: "At the peak of our 'great reshuffle' we saw a year-on-year increase of 50% of LinkedIn members changing jobs. Gen Z was at 90%". 90% seems…
I was listening to the Lex Fridman interview of John Carmack[1] the other day and find myself agreeing with Carmack. Essentially, building the metaverse is insanely difficult but also desirable for a variety of reasons.…
Nobody would come out and ask your caste directly. Most often what tends to happen is they infer your caste based on your surname, or ask you innocent-seeming questions such as: where is your family from, what does your…
I would say working on something is better than nothing at all. Mainly for two reasons: 1. You'll get to learn something new by building it yourself. 2. It will instill a sense of discipline in you which is invaluable.…
