mupuff1234··on Meta’s live demo fails; “AI” recording plays before the actor takes the steps
Certainly didnt seem like a joke.
mupuff1234··on Meta Ray-Ban Display
Almost everyone I know who got a quest stopped using it after a week.

It's a fun toy, but gets boring pretty quickly.

mupuff1234··on European Commission fines Google €2.95B over abusive ad tech practices
Yes, but with companies that have even less incentive to actually make the web decent.
mupuff1234··on European Commission fines Google €2.95B over abusive ad tech practices
Or we'll just get a duopoly where Microsoft and Apple control the web, both of which don't really have business incentives to improve it.

And if Chrome were to be divested it would have just gotten swallowed up by a different corp, most likely to end up in worse hands imo.

Can you name any other company that if they owned Chrome it would've been better for the users and the web?

mupuff1234··on Six months into tariffs, businesses have no idea how to price anything
And yet the rent in NYC just seems to go up and up.
mupuff1234··on Cognitive load is what matters
Those are all examples for why having a single source for code generation would most likely simply things - basically we will have a universal code style and logic, instead of every developer reinventing the wheel.

And let's face it, 95% of software isn't exactly novel.

mupuff1234··on Cognitive load is what matters
Funny, I'd say that codebases nowadays usually have too many abstractions.
mupuff1234··on Cognitive load is what matters
Or maybe it will actually increase the quality of software engineering because it will free up the cognitive load from thinking of the low level design to higher level architecture.
mupuff1234··on AI Mode in Search gets new agentic features and expands globally
Why would it work very different from current search ads?
mupuff1234··on Good system design
I think you might be missing the point.

Your answers are completely valid but you have to communicate to the interviewer that you considered the possibilities and the tradeoffs.

If the interviewer needs to "forcefully" extract from you the logic behind your design choices than a lot of times that's enough to fail you.

mupuff1234··on Qodo CLI agent scores 71.2% on SWE-bench Verified
I'm curious how do these LLM wrapper companies think they'll survive long term - especially coding related wrappers.

I could understand focusing on a niche business use case, but coding is a main focus of the foundation models themselves.

mupuff1234··on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it
Yeah I'm surprised that there's not at least some sort of conviction metric being outputted along the LLM response.

I mean it's all probability right? Must be a way to give it some score.

mupuff1234··on Food, housing, & health care costs are a source of major stress for many people
Protip #2: frozen veggies and fruit.

Cheaper, supposedly healthier (flash frozen), easy to make, zero preparation, and never need to worry about it going bad.

mupuff1234··on GPT-5
I'm guessing they realized they have rip off the bandaid and release a GPT 5 at some point, and we're gonna see a relatively incremental improvement.
mupuff1234··on States and cities decimated SROs, Americans' lowest-cost housing option
Affordable housing is a solvable problem - the problem is that nobody at the top actually wants to solve it. Too much wealth and power tied to real estate value.
mupuff1234··on A.I. researchers are negotiating $250M pay packages
Basically an anti trust loophole - why but a company and face regulations when you can buy the people?
mupuff1234··on NSF has suspended Terry Tao's grant
Fair, although I I think it's pretty clear that no one would want that, just as you claim no one would agree to the UN partition.

And I think colonization is really the wrong term here, it's just two native populations fighting over a piece of land - not exactly a new historical concept.

mupuff1234··on NSF has suspended Terry Tao's grant
Do you also agree that with the same logic it makes no sense for Israel to agree to something like the right of return? Nobody else in their position would accept it.
mupuff1234··on NSF has suspended Terry Tao's grant
So violence is the answer?
mupuff1234··on NSF has suspended Terry Tao's grant
Didn't Palestinians attack Israel in 1948 and end up losing?
mupuff1234··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
And how can you say it's not the opposite?

China, Russia, Iran, etc would definitely benefit from pouring fuel on this topic.

Not sure why you think only one side does it.

mupuff1234··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
The market value of hoarded food going up only helps Hamas if they are the one managing to do the hoarding - otherwise it actually works against Hamas (if there's another distributor)
mupuff1234··on AWS launches Kiro, its Cursor clone
I'm surprised no one is gobbling up jetbrains.
mupuff1234··on Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market
I honestly just can't comprehend how people so easily just throw away money on these apps - The fees are ridiculous on top of already expensive restaurant prices.
mupuff1234··on MCP-B: A Protocol for AI Browser Automation
I think that also known by another word - "documentation".
mupuff1234··on MCP-B: A Protocol for AI Browser Automation
I still don't understand MCP. If according to all the AI companies soon AI will replace devs than why bother with MCP?
mupuff1234··on Facebook is starting to feed its AI with private, unpublished photos
Probably for personalization.
mupuff1234··on Berkshire Hathaway Now Pays 5% of All Corporate Income Taxes in America
So is using cheat codes in a game also not cheating? It's part of the game after all.
mupuff1234··on Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire
Maybe, but if you said that a cease fire will follow the US operation people would call you crazy, despite all signs showing that Iran had no options.
