nobaelazum··on The Public Is Rapidly Turning Against AI, Polling Shows
Kind of like how we treat animals. That is pretty scary.
nobaelazum··on Ask HN: What's with this ridiculous experience requirements these days?
Sorry, what? You hung up on an interviewer because they asked you to write an algorithm? And you think it's a red flag to ask you to turn on video? I think you need a reality check, honestly. I would say they are lucky not to hire you based on this.
nobaelazum··on I'm done with dashboards, and likely you should be too
"I'm done with viewing my useful information."
nobaelazum··on The Life and Death of the American Mall
Exactly right. The malls in Asia fit the lifestyle very well, being well integrated into the daily commute and easily accessible to so many within the community. These malls are some of the nicest places you can go and offer tons of restaurants options, boutiques etc that make each one feel unique. It's incredible how much better it is than what we have in the states IMO.
nobaelazum··on I'm skeptical of low-code
I agree. It isn't useful to think of "low code" or not. You think of what the tool offers and if it can be extended easily to do what you want. If you choose it and it isn't as advertised or doesn't fit, it was the wrong choice. We rely on all sorts of "low code" stuff and it works great because it's battle proven and provides the right abstractions. "Low code" is a misnomer, just say "esoteric specialized tool that isn't customizable".
nobaelazum··on Making the Monty Hall problem weirder but obvious
Some explanations of this problem are far too complicated. This is how I explain it.

1/3 of the time, you guess correctly on your initial guess. If you switch, you'd be wrong.

2/3 of the time, you guess incorrectly on your initial guess. If you switch, you're right.

So when switching, the expecting outcome 1/3 of the time is 0, but the expected outcome 2/3 of the time 1. (1/3)0 + (2/3)1 = 2/3

nobaelazum··on Bitcoin ‘More Than Just a Fad,’ Morgan Stanley CEO Says
I talk to these people all the time. Them: "I KMOW stock XXX is going to be at price YYY in time Z." Me: "How much have you invested in stock XXX?" Them: "Oh nothing yet".
