No I have not. This is the killer feature for me though. Text based stuff I can just ignore or block, but the videos/images are what actually bother me (the abundance of porn on the site is what prevents me from using it in public).

How well does it deal with video/image content? My timeline occasionally jumpscares me with gore/graphic/political content.

> Obviously founders can't keep running a 2000 person company the way they ran it when it had 20. There's going to have to be some amount of delegation. Where the borders of autonomy end up, and how sharp they are, will probably vary from company to company. They'll even vary from time to time within the same company, as managers earn trust. So founder mode will be more complicated than manager mode. But it will also work better. We already know that from the examples of individual founders groping their way toward it.

What was the point of the article? Don't delegate important decisions to the people below you, except for when you do? What PG is suggesting is a founder should understand all problem spaces the company exists in, better than any other employee in any position, in perpetuity, because no-one could possibly understand anything better than the founder. If you want labour to scale, you need to let people actually do their job.

> Achieves 94.9 Mbit/sec when Pico is overclocked to 300 MHz, as measured by iperf

Is this an effective rate, or just the reflection of a hardware limit?

At Opsec HQ:

Lieutenant: Captain! Captain! You've got to see this!

Captain: What is it?

Lieutenant: We just uncovered an entirely new ICBM design being deployed right now by the Kremlin!

Captain: Really, that's incredible!

Lieutenant: Well, not quite. The fins are attached horizontally, the warhead is placed inside the booster, and the fuselage is an asian woman's face.

I don't understand why these major concerts don't have disposable earplug booths. These things probably cost <1 cent to make. You could 50x markup your supply, they'd still be cheap, and attendees would still have their hearing.

  The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but the scientists too, came when they managed to actually record the sounds that she heard in her ears – which now appear as ‘Left Ear’ and ‘Right Ear’ which begin sides A and B on the album – and in doing so opened up questions about the nature of tinnitus itself. “The NHS definition is that it’s a phantom sound that your brain is creating, that it isn’t something ‘real’, so you should try to ignore it.” By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. “After the first recording of it, it was ‘There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical.

Utterly fascinating. I hope more research comes of this.

Could anyone provide an example of what Leetcode problems are too hard or unrealistic for hiring/interviewing purposes?

As someone who loves Khan Academy, who was taught math from it when my High School teachers couldn't, it really saddens me this is the emphasis Khan Academy chooses, instead of creating more material.

The fact is, Khan Academy was so useful to me in school precisely because it was NOT a resampling of a Wikipedia page, of every uninspired textbook I was ever forced to read. It was a smart, real life human being who understood the nuances of how actual human beings understood concepts. Sal didn't just break down complex mathematical subjects for me such that I was able to solve linear equations in echelon form, there was also a particular way he emphasised the words he spoke so I understood why something was important. The human factor is so important, and we're fucking over our next generation for market hype.

A few years ago, I was bullish on online learning. But no-one with common sense is as the helm. I am incredibly concerned that Microsoft is believing its hype at the cost of something that was at one point incredibly valuable to society.

I actually laughed when I read that

The downside of this approach is the redundancy of information. If multiple conversations are happening at once, it's hard to follow what people are saying about a particular one. Following a thread's history means there is a huge amount of cognitive load regarding filtering irrelevant comments and ignoring redundant quotes. By this new method, I will only ever be shown a post I don't care about once.

I'm a part of my university's competitive programming club, and the discovery of Devin being a fraud really upset a few club members (Many people who worked at Devin.AI were elite-level competitive programmers). It shattered the illusion that being a good competitive programmer would translate into being a good engineer overall. They were the victims of market hype.

Boringly written ChatGPT article trying to convince me why ChatGPT will cause "wealth inequality [to] get far worse before it maybe ever gets any better". The irony is very funny to me.

Every time someone I met online has offered to have "a chat over coffee" they somehow never actually had the time for it. Whenever I hear "coffee chat" I just assume they're saying it to reassure themselves they're charitable people or something. Don't you have anything else better to do than to talk to random 20somethings about their career they don't have yet?

Most people stop making an effort to expand their taste in art at a young age because it's not useful for them. People can afford to have narrow tastes and still enjoy music. If parents made being exposed to different types of music as important to one's growth as being exposed to different types of vegetables, I doubt we would have this cultural phenomenon.

Theoretically, I should have given up trying to find new music years ago, but that hasn't happened. This is because music is the only artform that resonates with me on a spiritual level. Finding new music is important to me because it is a part of my identity. Contrast this with the fact I haven't been to a cinema since 2022. I don't broaden my taste in cinema because it has little impact on how much I enjoy films.

Whenever I go out to see live music, I always make it a point to let the performing artists know they had a great set, even if the music itself isn't for me. In a world consumed by negative engagement, it's a small yet disproportionately effective way to keep the human spirit alive.

Wow, never heard about this before. You've inspired me to have a crack at making a tomographic reconstruction filter myself :)

I tried making a face; I think I was pretty successful: aetopjgghghghdfdfdfacnk

This method of drawing reminds me of portraits I've seen of "string art" [1], where strings are tied to pins across a board. The detail is not within the strings themselves but in how they intersect. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage this, but I'm sure someone could. Fun project!

I only use the [x] * n form of array initialization for primitive types (int,float,bool,string). So

  #good
  a = [True] * 8 # bool is primitive
  b = [[True] * 8 for i in range(8)] # range creates new lists each time

  #bad
  a = [{}] * 8 # dict is not a primitive
  b = [[True] * 8] * 8 # list is not a primitive

If I ever met you in real life I think you would be the coolest person I've ever met.

OMG I had one of the 160-in-one kits when I was very young ~(mid 2000's) but never learned what it was called! I remember my mom buying it for me from this mysterious shop which had exotic toys (that I never actually visited myself). It was a second-hand one and most of the resistors/components had already broke, But the radio feature still somehow worked! I thought it was magic, just as magic as that strange, foreign shop. Kinda want to buy one now....

> Well-meaning friends had already suggested it might be kinder to have her put down, because she was often visibly distressed.

I've always found it interesting how little we regard other forms of life out of our warped ideas of "compassion" - it would be unthinkable to suggest this to parents of an actual child, for such an easily treatable condition.
