patrickskim··on Show HN: Uncracked City, detective game where you question LLM suspects that lie
haha very neat! Just curious how are you planning to make it free with the inference cost? Even with a luna or haiku its still a non zero cost to run per session.
patrickskim··on Can We Have Prosperity Without Growth?
It depends on who "we" includes.
patrickskim··on How to prepare a technical interview (and why good programmers also fail)
Tools make not the master.

“You should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else, for that matter. Too much is the same as not enough. Without imitating anyone else, you should have as much weaponry as suits you.”

patrickskim··on How to prepare a technical interview (and why good programmers also fail)
Professional writers only use keyboards. Better typing => Better writer

Poor inference => Poor programmer

patrickskim··on So Good They Can't Ignore You
It can be if that is what you so seek.
patrickskim··on Wal-Mart in Talks to Buy Web Retailer Jet.com for $3B
He'd be yuge.
patrickskim··on Ask HN: I am the dumbest person in the room. What should I do?
Bro, life is too short to let other people dictate your life.

They might be smarter than you, yet here they are in the same room as you. Second there is no shame in not knowing, so as long your willingness to improve is there. In the rare case, in the parking lot, intelligence (or there lack of) can always be augmented with fist. YMMV.

You need a double dosage of kanye. Hope you get your swagger back.

Good luck.

patrickskim··on John McAfee on How To Uninstall McAfee Antivirus
Didn't he "allegedly" murder someone?
patrickskim··on Adobe Will Contribute To Google’s Blink Browser Engine
NOOOOO they'll ruin everything with their proprietary software with $799 price tags.
patrickskim··on Ask HN: Are stock options as bonus worth anything?
No, not unless your company is a public company. Bird in the hand.
patrickskim··on The Summly deal makes no sense
What's the point? Doesn't the truth come out eventually? Yahoo is a public company, their financials aren't exactly secrets.
patrickskim··on What It Feels Like to Launch a Startup With Two Weeks of Runway
Everyone on HN sympathizes with the entrepreneur but the way I see it, if you're financially irresponsible in your own personal life, why the hell should anyone give you money professionally?

It's like a guy with no training, no climbing experience, NO prep-work, standing at the base of Everest, telling everyone "Come and watch me climb to the top."

You ain't climbing shit buddy.

patrickskim··on Lousy web design trends that are making a comeback due to HTML5
Personally I'd rather look at their "bad" example sites than this crap. "Share", "SIGNUP NOW", "GET A FREE EBOOK" Bullshit they have plastered everywhere. How do they get the nerve to talk about UX?

If you live in a glass house...
