We modeled how fast AI would eat through ~800 jobs. Try it!

Building safety and safety nets.

Why is this bad?

Imagine someone sending you $100 to your bank account. Except those $100 can be tokens. And your bank account is your crypto address.

I don't game but I've found Kinesis split keyboard (https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/) + vertical mouse cured my wrist/forearm pain. That plus a desk at 27" instead of a "normal" 32" are one time ergonomic expenses that are absolute no-brainers for programmers.

It took a lot of trial and error to find the setup that worked for me. I think the above is the right 80/20 solution. Worth a shot and hope it ends up helping someone. FWIW, the Kinesis keyboard has a nice tilt that corresponds with the vertical mouse tilt.

Guessing a significant chunk is due to talent base.

What's the other 15% of your time? :)

Jose wrote the bulk of the code and he worked on Devise. Blog post (1yr old) from Jose here. https://dashbit.co/blog/a-new-authentication-solution-for-ph...

It is very, very good. You can try it even without phoenix 1.6 as a hex package and it's great.

Have you seen Surface UI? Pretty cool. Collection of LiveView components. https://surface-ui.org/

This might be an ill-formed question given not knowing the specifics of the source code, but do you think Phoenix LiveView can be used to manage state through websockets vs the JSON payloads described in the article?

Did the PwC auditors have skin in the game? Do they have to stand by their decision when questioned or is it just a stamp of approval?

That's interesting and I think I can understand being in that same frame of mind. I wonder, if the implication doesn't match up with what you want the implication to be, how do you break that stalemate?

Here, I guess I'm of the belief that there's nothing wrong with billionaires; the wrong thing is how little there is for a billion people in the world.

Great point, you're right

One way I could hear people interpreting your comment--I agree on the framing point by the way, there's also external framing now with a hate-billionaires view--is that the steps to get to the thesis make sense but the thesis is not palatable. I'm not sure you'd agree with that interpretation of your comment; I'd love to hear what the problem is with that interpretation

Thanks for the heads up. The old title was also clickbaity but this new title is even more so. I wonder if even HN comment reactions are more towards the title vs the content.

It’s so strange the YC comments and some Twitter comments are so focused on the billionaire part. The real part is to deeply understand your users, no? And the focus on YC interviews is reminiscent of media is the massage—-the hubbub places YC as a thing to pass but if you understand your users deeply, you won’t even need YC.

In a way all the YC interview prep stuff is written for the wrong people (for YC, and this is obviously a little wrong) but also the right people (who will chase prestige to read the article about interviewing at YC).

Wow. From Jaron's 2017 book?

While I look into this you can just click into and backspace the parts of the date that you want changed (instead of select all & backspace which I used to replicate)

Interesting. Still up for me and checked with downtime detectors

Makes me glad.

Yeah, I think that's a good question. Everybody is different; some may get different things out of it.

It's obviously going to be wrong in terms of exactness, but likely will be roughly right in terms of framing. That is, if you have 50 years, 3 days, and 2 seconds left, it might actually be 48 or 55 years, but the exact timing doesn't matter so much to me. It's more the quantification of the information that's implicit in our lives but for some reason we don't normally think about unless it's a particularly harrowing experience.

For myself, I spent some time in the ER last year. I honestly didn't know whether I'd live or not. It made me think really hard about what I was doing with what I was given. This serves as a reminder for me to do things that matter. To not optimize for the hour or the day, but the decades.

Plus it was fun to build.

Happy Thanksgiving, Long

I just replicated the error. That sucks, I'm really sorry about that. Will try to fix.
