Professionally, I see people largely falling into two camps: those that augment their reasoning with AI, and those that replace their reasoning with AI. I’m not too worried about the former, it’s the latter for whom I’m worried.

Yep, it's a low sulfur, lower volatility gasoline blend (https://thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/how-california-reg...) which apparently cuts harmful exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide and NOx.
competent replacement for Google Maps
Maybe in the US and a handful of other countries. See the replies on this thread talking about various issues with using Apple Maps elsewhere - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47840219#47840616.
It's exactly the other way around actually, continental US would include Alaska since it's still on the North American continent whereas contiguous US excludes both Hawaii and Alaska. Contiguous US refers to the lower 48 states.
12-15K feet just isn’t that high in the scheme of things. Many peaks in the western US are in that range or more.
The highest peak in the contiguous United States is Mt. Whitney at ~14.5k feet

I don't disagree with your overall point, but how's an S22 ultra a "medium range Android"?
And the UK is not Venezuela.
The Guardian is not an American newspaper.
Yeah, this article is quite funny in the context of today's men's tennis landscape, where an entire generation of players (90s born) were effectively blocked from the big prizes by being sandwiched between two generations of all time greats. Money is obviously an important factor in the growth and development of most athletes, but the article seems to be downplaying the importance of inherent talent and ability in sport.
Sorry for the pedantry, but "thought" and "taught" are actually phonetically different (/θɑːt/ vs /tɑːt/).
most of the credit for a huge company's success goes to the CEO who gets 100X the salary of a regular worker while delivering usually pretty much nothing
Well, in Confluent's case I'm not so sure that's true given that their CEO is also the company founder as well as one of the original authors of Apache Kafka.
They've not yet clarified whether the visa fee is applicable to a change of status from within the U.S. which is used by people on other non-immigrant visas. The most common one being the student pathway transitioning from an F-1 visa after graduating.
Why would you jump to assuming that all the commenters and voters are bots just from encountering an unfamiliar acronym?
Humans aren't always rational and that's okay, we're all human after all :)
Could you please elaborate for those of us without context?
Clickhouse benchmarks don’t show Pinot favorably by comparison
Looks like they don't configure any indexes for Pinot in their benchmarks, which is one of Pinot's main selling points on the performance front - https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/issues/37.
Yup, I've had the same experience and found that 2MAD works a lot better for me.
"Backend" is absolutely not a simpler problem to solve, it's an umbrella term encompassing a wide variety of domains. If you're talking specifically about Web backends, then sure, maybe there's a case to be made there.
Slightly off topic, but there's currently work underway to introduce queue like semantics to Kafka interestingly enough - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-932%3A...
Think you mean micro rather than milli
YugabyteDB is a commonly used alternative.
It's fascinating to see the physical limits of a human body being pushed as far as possible.
They make security software that is really popular in various industries.
AI researchers at top firms make significantly more than software engineers at the same firms though (granted that the difference is likely not an order of magnitude in this case though).
The kind of AI researchers being discussed here likely make an order of magnitude more than run of the mill "software engineers".
Doesn't Yandex itself come from "Yet Another Indexer"?
That could potentially be solved by having different buckets for different regions and industries? Seems like that'd be a much fairer system than the current lottery one.
