this is why we need zero knowledge proof

What shines better in a resume? ex-founder or ex-founding engineer? If ex-founder is a better role for next job, I think founders are taking much less risk than founding engineers. They get all the exposure to talking to rich people, VCs, learning how financial game works, which i regard much more rewarding career-wise.

I can already see how many people are so illiterate about GPUs.

proves my point that llms are simply a next token predictor. There are many interesting properties that we see "emergence" of intelligence but I think it's just human's incapability to hold so much knowledge on active memory.

There are professional wedding guests in Korea

sexy self is a cool naming convention that will possibly replace foobar https://github.com/wangyi-fudan/wyGPT/blob/main/cpu.cpp#L140

could we have a CRISPR based penis elongation medicine in future? I would like to invest to that startup

The author is roasting Jeanine Banks and she is probably the real motivation that drove the author writing a whole long article of google's culture when things were beautiful.

Is ADHD a real thing? I see too many SV engineers diagnosed with ADHD to the point that it feels like a large scam run by psychiatrists that they lowered the threshold of the actual ADHD.

How could a sane engineer think that chatgpt wrapper could be the next unicorn?

this is strikingly similar to the buddhist view of the perception. In one of the theory(唯識思想) in buddhism everybody in their mind has a kaleidoscope or window by which we perceive the world. This kaleidoscope is shaped by six emotions: sorrow, modesty, happiness, joy, anger and love. The important part is that the kaleidoscope also interacts with the world around you. If you want to change the world, you need to become the very person you want to see in the world. That is why buddhism says the change starts from disciplining and harnessing your emotions, hence "be the change you want to see"

How is FastAPI in large projects?

lol Korea achieved government censorship by blocking certain websites by sni headers without any announcement. I wish we had those dumb politicians like France does. It is actually a good thing that old dudes who are clueless about tech are high up.

This kind of meager understanding of tech in especially in Europe make me wonder how the life of those old politicians would be like. They are still living in pre tech-boom era, where rich people paid someone else to do the chores for them. They don't even need to know the latest tech advancements because they have so much "old-money" to live like in 90s, which means they were born rich european and will remain rich european for rest of their lives.

As a Korean, I had a feeling this might unfold in this way. It's truly disheartening to witness Korean academia repeating a familiar pattern – this rush to make a splash globally, it's like history repeating itself. We remember back in 2009, when Dr. Woo Suk Hwang claimed the first successful human embryo cloning, only for it to unravel as a fraud (source: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/world/asia/27clone.html). With LK-99, I couldn't help but notice the same signs that triggered my skepticism back then. The tale is familiar – researchers hungry for funding, limited interaction with the global scientific community, and bold declarations of "innovation" that likely could have occurred despite less-than-ideal research conditions. Their bold claims to their break through resonates with the typical korean cinderella narrative - overcoming harsh conditions, through relentless determination to achieve the goal, just like we made such a rapid growth from basically ruins to OECD membership in less than a century. It is a common pattern in research proposals in korea to tout the patriotism of government officials in this manner. I see this incident as a extension of that research culture in korea. I too have enjoyed the hype and hoped it to be true but sadly it turned out to be another false pursuit for attention.

well I see topics like NLP in ethics, healthcare, etc, which I think is a sign they don't have much to do here.

What I've seen in the past two years, a lot of people who have seemingly no fit to a life of a programmer have joined software industry. In my experience the best devs were the people who self-taught programming for pure joy of building a software, making a glimpse of imaging to something real through writing code. The others who were on this job because the compensation was hefty - they were likely to opt out to a manager. I am not saying that hobby-devs are better people or co-worker. Every people has their role in a team. Nevertheless these people who habitually code are the ones who remain as devs after all.

Lol what a discovery :) I considered committing suicide because it felt like there was no way out of this mess. Suicide is more like an escape from pain rather than quitting your life.

Sounds like what's happening in blockchain scene right now.

I wish instagram and tinder never happened.

I thought git branch is an alias to specific commit...

I think juniors should write clean code until they can negotiate the technical debt against the speed

I agree. Some losers trying to get cheap attention for writing cheap blog posts

Monetary return should include how much economical gain they get when marrying more educated men. i.e. educated women has more chance to marry an educated men who are likely to be earning more than less educated men.

If Twitter survives and people shut up their mouths complaining after few months we'll see who was right.

Google doesn't use page rank anymore. They have a signal called navboost which is the strongest signal in ranking and retrieval. And that idea originates from Yahoo paper in which they revealed the gems of search engine algorithms: https://www.kdd.org/kdd2016/papers/files/adf0361-yinA.pdf

What is wrong about the top talents going to medical school? It is the highest paid jobs available.

Why no alias linking or clone? Is it technically impossible?

Let's face it. We all know that being WASPy is the probably the best indicator of performance.

I keep seeing this kind of article that leetcode is not the answer. Yes it is not the answer but the best strategy to filter out not dumb, low IQ people who are going to panic when you give a vague, open ended problem. There are many people who call themselves engineers while trying to talk everything out instead of diving deep into problem.
