I think the question is about bitcoin mining power and now actual mines

If there truly is no need for an explanation, the commit message is very short and won’t require any substantial effort on the author to write.

A fix often has a particular bug it’s addressed, the bug should be explained in the commit. A refactor has a reason, that needs to be explained as well.

I’m not saying LLMs can’t do this, but it needs the context and it’s rarely in the diff of the commit you will find that.

I don’t get these kind of tools. A commit should be the why of a change, not a summary of what it is, anyone can either get that themselves or just read the code if they desire. What you can not get from the code is the _why_ which only you as the author can put.

True. But that’s income, to be top 10% in your net worth you need 1.5m USD and 12m USD for top 1%

Isn’t the lightning network solving the slowness and high fees problem?

If human productivity and unemployment increases at the same time the obvious solution for regulators will be to decrease the work week from 5 to 4 days or even further

Telegram has 15 million premium users paying ~$50/year

They also issue bonds which is another fun way to collect money.

It’s very hard to trust his words after he’s become the leader of a billion dollar for profit company. I miss the old Sam

Imagine having a mission of “ensure[ing] that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity” while also believing that it can only be trusted in the hands of the few

A lot of people around OpenAI in the early days thought AI should only be in the hands of a few trusted people who could “handle it”.

One does not exclude the other.

I work for a remote-only company but use a workspace almost every day. I get to chose my own “office” and the people in it, I also pick the commute I want, this one is just 5 minutes away.

Imagine a future where state actors have hundreds of AI agents fixing bugs, gaining reputation while they slowly introduce backdoors. I really hope open source models succeed.

[…] you need to do well in your classes to get into a good university.

Isn’t this also mostly inherited: do most get into the good universities because of their grades or their connections? Can most get good grades without an “inherited” support system?

How come?

No one in Denmark knows what this case is about, except that these top officials are being prosecuted for vague reasons, and with an undertone that it is all very unfair and probably a bad thing for Denmark.

Everybody in Denmark knows what this is about, it’s a badly held secret. In fact the supreme court denied running the case behind closed doors because the secret is considered “publicly known” at this point[1]

Unrelated to the post here, but I think both Pat and this guy[1] say that they build the multiplayer for Diablo by themselves…

Anyhow, both talks are fascinating and surely worth a watch.

I took a take-home assignment from fly.io a while back; they promised that every completion would receive real human feedback.

As far as I remember, I was told it would take a few hours, maybe 4, but the assignment looked rather fun, so I thought, whatever, let’s do it.

Maybe I didn't understand the assignment fully or missed some cues; I don't know. But it took me roughly 10 hours spread across two days. After 5-6 hours, you don't feel like throwing the work away; you just want to finish. It was pretty frustrating.

After returning the assignment, I waited the two weeks they asked for and heard nothing. I sent one email, waited a week, got no reply, sent another, waited some more, and still received no reply. I ended up sending a handful of emails to various addresses I could find. I even sent a DM on Twitter to one of the founders to let them know. No reply anywhere.

Overall, it was a pretty bad experience.

I think that’d be illegal for EU citizens at least

You trade it with people for something they want. You keep it or trade it yourself.

Like you would do with gold.

That’s amazing, I’ve been wanting something like that for UFC for a while, I might just steal the idea!

Love the name!

Am I missing something here or did they just reinvent a NAT gateway with static rules?

I understand that they started using anycast for the egress IPs as well, but thats unrelated to the NAT problem.
