pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
I don’t know, but I am curious as how they are going to monetize it.
pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
On a slight side note, I heard Reddit is selling or wants to sell its data. If I had to guess there is a lot of sarcasm and dark humor in that data, which companies may not want in their llm.

I wonder how this is being handled.

pylua··on React Component Principles and Best Practices for Better Software Architecture
This is very common and will happen almost everywhere you work.

As an industry we should spend our time pursuing other areas that are more objective.

I have nothing against the article, or the author, but especially with linked in expert opinions there is a lot of noise.

pylua··on US thinking about letting Ukraine use its weapons to strike Russia
Is this really true? I hope the U.S. would not die. I do guess the fallout could not be contained. However I hope we have planned for and train for these scenarios.
pylua··on Nvidia announces financial results for first quarter fiscal 2025
Ai is more of a deflationary force. It will make things cheaper and those features will be table stakes.
pylua··on Nvidia announces financial results for first quarter fiscal 2025
Even Warren buffet and munger have made large mistakes though. Don’t bet more than you can afford to lose is probably the biggest rule.
pylua··on One-third of Amazon warehouse workers are on food stamps or Medicaid
Is this a good comparison? Most businesses scrape by while Amazon is a behemoth.
pylua··on Show HN: Pls Fix – Hire big tech employees to appeal account suspensions
This feels like a contradiction at first glance. Violates Ethics of privilege? It would be better and more fair to have everyone pay.
pylua··on ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Sinwar and Netanyahu for war crimes
Thank you for this post. I feel like this is the correct answer.
pylua··on High housing costs may be California's biggest problem
I see your point, but a crash would be extremely bad for the states budget, which is already struggling. Hopefully a small correction at most.

The market also does seem strangely stubborn to correct.

pylua··on High housing costs may be California's biggest problem
Federal intervention? The state should manage itself.
pylua··on Scott Galloway: How the US is destroying young people's future [video]
In the U.S., a lot of places I go seem to be run by skeleton crews with workers that are deeply dissatisfied. Something is fundamentally going awry.
pylua··on There's not enough power for America's high-tech ambitions
Arguably, that is a feature.

I’m not against coal or nuclear, However, if progress, as it is defined here, includes disregarding the opinion of the minority or does not respect the rules then maybe it is not real progress. Progress must include taking into account the constraints of the rules we have set in place.

We are basically making progress, albeit slowly, in trying to solve the issue in a way that is consistent with law and precedent. This includes a lot of debate and rejection, but over a long enough period of time it can be solved.

pylua··on So We've Got a Memory Leak
Businesses need software to be less complex and easier to develop so it is cheaper.

I can’t imagine manual memory management on these large scale projects with a high variance of developer scale and opinions.

pylua··on Tech Jobs Leaving California
What are the tech salaries in Mexico like?

Also, this is starting to happen for other non software and related engineering fields as well. Eventually I wonder if the U.S. government will have to step in.things that do not require us licensing are being near shored.

pylua··on Judge mulls sanctions over Google's destruction of internal chats
A legal hold is very serious and I can’t believe they would be so negligent or untruthful. This is a very bad look.
pylua··on Hacking on PostgreSQL Is Hard
I read the article and I can’t understand at a simple level why it’s hard to contribute. Is it easy to break things? Is it hard to determine if something is broken ? If so, maybe it just wasn’t really designed with those items in mind, or maybe there just isn’t adequate testing.

Adding on a new feature that is hard to understand is maybe a signal that the design does not support it.

pylua··on Worst-ever job interviews: 'We had to crawl and moo'
I can picture the linked in headline now. Why I made our prospects crawl and moo, and why you should, too.
pylua··on Amazon CEO Andy jassy broke federal labor law with anti-union remarks
Sounds like they treat humans like animals. No wonder people want to unionize.
pylua··on Amazon CEO Andy jassy broke federal labor law with anti-union remarks
I really doubt Amazon works the way the ceo thinks it does here, in terms of change. Can anyone vouch ?

Well, I guess they can ask. However Amazon does not seem like a ask and you shall receive sort of place.

pylua··on Rust: Box Is a Unique Type
Is that by design ? I am a novice at rust, but that is sort of how it feels. I could be missing something.
pylua··on Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
It will be interesting to see this play out as a public company as opposed to a private one.
pylua··on The Fermat's Last Theorem Project
2030 will be here before you know it. I am excited that this could help distribute knowledge of the field. Good luck and Godspeed!
pylua··on Google lays off staff from Flutter, Dart, Python teams before dev conference
No one is saying google is not allowed to do something or vice versa.

Forcing long running members to leave a team (especially en masse )usually hurts the project long term, and the users that depend on their work should be nervous.

It is also does not inspire confidence that google is invested in their workforce or users.

I would argue a long running team member that leaves a company without gracefully handing off a task also did not follow a best practice. They are of course, free to leave in the United States.

pylua··on The Fermat's Last Theorem Project
That had been proven previously ? I guess so has flt, but it will eventually solve an unsolved problem ?
pylua··on The Fermat's Last Theorem Project
I think this is awesome. I do wonder if projects like this will are the first step for humans to completely hand over proving to machines.
pylua··on Google lays off staff from Flutter, Dart, Python teams before dev conference
I assume removing long standing people on a project would greatly decrease quality. I am sure that google wont spin it that way. I wouldn’t go as far to say that cheaper labor always means less quality.
pylua··on Google lays off staff from Flutter, Dart, Python teams before dev conference
Yes. Part of the white collar recession.
pylua··on You can't just assume UTF-8
Stupid question: how are the headers passed for http? What encoding describes the encoding ?
pylua··on In the AI Economy, There Will Be Zero Percent Unemployment
I feel like the author has missed the concept of “Past performance is no guarantee of future results”.
