Would you mind explaining to us how it works?
I often see developers giddy about the idea of AI being a bubble and waiting for the crash, but I suspect this event could actually be particularly terrible for us.
Would you be interested in making one?
For example, if I'm eating breakfast alone in the morning, I'm usually feeling pretty energetic and have a bigger appetite for stimulation. I might watch a podcast interview.
Now if I'm eating lunch in the middle of my workday and I'm alone, I usually don't watch anything. My brain usually feels way too saturated and overstimulated so I might just eat and stare out the window.
After the workday is done and I'm eating dinner, it can be a toss-up haha. If I'm super exhausted, I won't watch anything, but if I'm feeling energetic, I might watch something similar to when I eat breakfast.
For me, it was a course in Real Analysis haha
I thought it'd be worth sharing :)
When I click "Founders" for example, it says "Showing Founders posts" but doesn't ultimately render anything.
Do you have any ideas for what that could look like? It's interesting to think about.
A fun follow up is asking a candidate how to compute the 25th and 75th percentiles or more broadly, the n-th percentile.
Would you personally be in favor of HN being regulated though? I'm not sure if I would.
It's just that HN is a social media that respects your time and doesn't try to get you addicted. For example, HN has a very useful 'noprocrast' feature and one of the co-founders, pg, has openly worried about HN's addictiveness in the past [0].
So while HN is social media, I feel like it's qualitatively different than other platforms.
1. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs 2. Clean Code 3. Crafting Interpreters
Also, it’s quite fascinating how often fiction books were recommended! I wouldn’t’ve expected that on HN.
After reading this, I did some research and learned a lot. I never really considered that, by including many things under the same domain, that you're increasing your blast radius w.r.t security vulernabilites. Thanks for that
Fellow Winnipeger here! I remember driving by that sign as a kid and being baffled by that word.
