Would this be the first appearance of the M3 chip? I have to believe they’d want to upgrade the Mac Studio at the same time since it’s sold as their performance machine. It feels strange to launch a n…

San Antonio was chosen because the article is from the San Antonio Express News and talks specifically about the San Antonio job market.

Not a bad idea at all.

While low unemployment is good, I worry about the quality of employment. For the San Antonio area, 46% of households — more than 240,000 households — can't afford the essentials such as housing, …
comment
I feel like it will bounce back... this breach was the support case management system, separate from the production Okta service. Still embarrassing for sure, still risk of confidential info exposed, …

It was a different animal altogether. But some of the finest interviewing Jon’s done.

"Toyota and Lexus customers will have convenient access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America." Isn't that most of the US ones?

They do very much plan to open source Mojo. From Chris Lattner when asked about the date that will happen: I would tell you if I knew . Our priority is to build the "right thing" not build a…

That’s been my experience, too. I feel like I’m in some cargo cult suggesting it to others. “We’ll just do these steps and poof it will be on your machine! One second… Hang on… let’s try again…”

Fair but nor will a car company quickly admit to a manufacturing deficit that requires an expensive repair.

How is it clear? I see Tesla as potentially at fault. In fact, I have a friend who’s Tesla was bricked in exactly the same way. He finally got them to replace the battery under warranty.
comment
I was really thinking they’d be able to train a high quality coding model and connect it back to the community better than anyone since it’s their platform & data.
comment
That's an interesting argument that I hadn't considered. Going for a $1B exit in some ways de-risks you as a founder because you get the press, attention, and connections but with less actua…
comment
Yes, exactly. It was a real estate company saying, "No, we're a tech company!" while contracting into an insane amount of real estate. Nothing about their technology changed the fundame…

One thing I've definitely learned is it's easier than you imagine to scale a good business into a bad business. To over-invest in something that can't or shouldn't scale as quickly…

I hate the pricing schemes emerging for these tools and I hope it gets fixed. “500 fast GPT-4 calls” & “Unlimited slow GPT-4 uses”. Wait. What is slow GPT4? Seems “your requests may be queued beh…

Half the time I lose my reading position as the page reflows as more and more ads and widgets load. I've trained myself to hit the reader view button as quickly as possible.
comment
Hey web perf folks: the visa.com waterfall image on this page... what was used to generate it? Also, I love mdn. To this day it's the best technical writing about web development. Every concept i…

I need to train AI to automatically click the "continue reading" link.
comment
Just heard Steve today from Builder.io who did an impressive launch of Figma -> code powered by AI. They trained a custom model for this. Better accuracy, sure, but I was a little surprised to watc…

This is a bummer. I really liked Loom. I was surprised to find some really neat video tools now by Prezi. Who else is doing good stuff around quick async collaboration?
comment
That bug was a college kid!

This is such a good idea. Not sure why svg code escaped my mind as something copilot would be good at.
comment
Is hugging face just a model repository like GitHub is a code repository? Seems you can rent compute both cpu & gpu, but you are right that most models seem to be run elsewhere.
comment
It seems like sadly he got very little social interaction in the hospital.
comment
I agree. This is way too small of a sample size and it's quite a big leap to see causation from the mild correlation they found. They asked about 350 mothers to think back and recall if they dran…
comment
Super fair. Longtime folks on HN learn to take every supposed insight with a giant grain of salt. When it comes to predicting what will change what, we’re all just wildly guessing.
comment
Physical labor industries very much at risk, along with white collar jobs. example: Flippy 2 — a robot arm that works the fryer at fast-food restaurants — already deployed at Chipotle, White Castle an…

I think in most cases, yes. But sometimes it can be very disruptive to the workforce, too. I think of what AI is going to do to the commercial driver, factory / warehouse, and food service indust…
