I think openAI and Anthropic are getting ready to launch their next generation of models (Claude 5 and GPT 6), which will quickly make us hit our rate-limits and we'll start entering a world where most people will start to have/want to pay for additional tokens.

We're all just getting too used to having great models for a fraction of the the value they give us.

While this is really concerning, it feels like a small new category of errors to check for. The article mentions an increase of 220% of the amount of submissions. That's incredible news for science, probably lots of honest scientists able to produce more work and eventually lead to more science being done.

Agreed, Sentry, Posthog, and many more are all doing the exact same thing now, I'd be surprised if this was a good deal for Langfuse. I personally migrated away from it to use Sentry, their software was honestly not that great.

Exactly the same feeling here, it's such a strange thing to promise a kid they are accepted into a program, but it starts in like 4 years.

As if all of your education (and probably side-projects, life decisions) is meant to lead to YC.

The blinking thing after the author's name in the sidebar is terribly distracting, why make it impossible to scroll past it, or just not have this infinitely running animation? Great article otherwise.

This is such an insanely good and important idea, that it feels inevitable that we'll eventually do it, probably in the next decades/centuries.

Probably one of the hardest new laws we'll ever have to implement.

Modern Gaming feels like a chore compared to older games. It isn't just nostalgia. Most games are designed to waste your time for maximum player engagement. Modern Gaming is boring by design.

I just can’t function optimally without 3 monitors:

1 for my full screen IDE: 3 files side by side, multiple terminals

1 with 2 browser windows: my product (a web app), and another with specs, stack overflow, google

And my macbook’s screen with slack or email.

Whenever I have 2 monitors or less, I find myself switching windows around all the time! With 3 I just move my eyes and mouse.

Just like facebook or google can block your account and prevent you from accessing all those logins you linked ever again.

So you better log in with your own email, but of the 3, I’d rather pick Apple as the lesser evil!

Can you elaborate on what’s wrong with his comment? The Peter principle looks like it has some legs (after a couple minutes of searching), and the analogy sounds reasonable to me.

We’re hiring a full stack developer with a focus on front end for our young fintech startup in the mortgage industry.

Our goal is to automate the mortgage industry by connecting all stakeholders with a suite of modern webapps to make the entire process simple, transparent and educational for the future home owner.

You will be the first engineering employee at our company working directly with me (CTO) and owning almost all of what you’ll be doing. I’m looking for a strong JS dev who can take the lead in building our React/Meteor/Mongo web apps.

We put a lot of emphasis on design and UX, so I’d love to see candidates with some taste in design.

Ideally you have experience with React and are fluent in JS and flexible to build whatever it takes outside of your official job description (backend, financial math algorithms, email templates, etc.), learn fast and be responsible for your code.

I’d argue that’s a totally reasonable margin on high end hardware.

By the way, who’s gonna pay all those engineers who fit all those components in such a nice box?

I always wonder what the average and median proficiency level of the applicants is, when looking at admissions rates.

In the US and europe, I always felt like people were more self selective than in Asia (India is the place I’m familiar with), meaning that more young people would not apply to top schools because they convince themselves (rightfully or not) that they’ll never get in. (Application fees are obviously inportant to consider: 100$ in the US vs free or very cheap (comparatively) in asia)

In India, I met lots of people applying to an unreasonable amount of jobs and colleges, because demand is so small compared to supply.

This means that admissions rates are likely skewed between different countries. Based on my anecdotical evidence, I’d say the average Harvard applicant is more skilled than the average IIT applicant, though the admitted students are probably as skilled.

It hangs on an old website, with the following error in the console: TypeError: Cannot read property 'hostname' of undefined at Object.setNoAppsFoundText (chrome-extension://cmkdbmfndkfgebldhnkbfhlneefdaaip/js/popup_final.js:153:22)
