What did they spend their $25 million on? What's the tech they have that costs this much to build? Their hard problems are a building a CMS or are otherwise solved by using fastly and sendgrid?

on: Exploring the Gameboy Memory Bank Controller (2020)
it's interesting that with game cartridges not only did game developers have to write code, they also had to possibly design and manufacture circuitry for the cartridges they would ship their games on.

Purely speculating for entertainment, but the switch could have started it for the reason of obtaining benefits, and not a thing shared with others, by the time she got to be old enough to be famous for it, had been going on for so long nobody cared or was alive at the time to remember maybe?

So AI resumes and AI cover letters are now being auto-submitted to AI generated automated job postings then parsed by hiring AI. What an absolute circus this is becoming.

on: Federal Reserve lent $300B in emergency funds to banks in the past week
There was an article in the WSJ today how the San Francisco Fed cited SVB multiple times in 2022 for their risk to rising interest rates, and how SVB's models were wrong. SVB believed the rising interest rates would improve their outlook, not be a risk.

> bad look for YC
I guess don't apply to them for seed funding for your next big idea if you don't like the way it makes them look.

on: Changes at YC
> is so different that the success of YC in early stages doesn't translate
that's not a claim made in the article. It just said the late state was different enough to be a distraction from their core mission of being an early stage investor. A company with just an idea and 2 founders and nothing more is obviously very different from a company with many employees, a revenue stream and a long list of customers. It should be obvious how different that is.

Some people don't feel anxiety even when sitting in a trench under fire from 30mm autocannons with their buddy lying dead next to them. We're not all the same.

I think people that are feeling real anxiety due to AI to the point it is affecting their lives should go seek therapy and not look to alarmist blog posts like this for advice.

An F-16 missed the shot at another object, not this balloon. The F-22 didn't miss when it shot this down.

on: Don't believe ChatGPT – we do not offer a "phone lookup" service
there's no "actual phone lookup platform" you can't get a person's location by knowing their phone number, that's a huge privacy violation. You can get the location of your own phone via icloud or google's system for android. You could also install an app on your phone to track your phone's location. You cannot find people based on knowing their phone number, that would be a serious safety issue for you know people trying to not, for example, get murdered by their ex-boyfriends.

on: Amazon Announces RTO for Employees
This is actually not great, because everyone else doesn't benefit, because it's in a DM that nobody else can see. In an office people near by will benefit too by being in earshot.

on: Amazon Announces RTO for Employees
Remote work is really rough with junior engineers. I'm trying really hard to help people but it comes in PR comments and scheduled zoom meetings instead of how it came for me, conversations over lunch, someone standing over my chair when I ask them for quick help. It's been so hard to scale people up. If I were a junior engineer I'd want return to office, but they seem to be the least likely to want it, because they've never had to come into an office before.

on: Of regrets
it's their blog and they're entitled to write it however they want? The author writes some statement on their blog that unexpectedly gets traction on HN and because they didn't anticipate that, they're the bad guy for not writing the blog post as accessible and informative as possible? This person just wanted to note their thoughts down on their personal blog, but now they've wronged you somehow?

totally unnecessary explanation, don't know what in my comment led you to think I needed it. Do you regularly define words and etymology for people in comments?
