Those who are using gpt5.5 how does it compare to Opus 4.6 / 4.7 in terms of code generation?
So is this just SF? How many people can actually sign up and use it?

Wow thats a nice amount of funding? Is this going to be their last funding round before they IPO? Is there a VC who give more funding? Are employees gonna be rich or is this gonna be a wework scenario?

Ask HN: What are your 2022 predictions?

Just curious what kind of predictions you have for the upcoming years 2022, 2023, 2024.I think the obvious one would be the EV wars. Also the delayed shipping dates for those vehicles. IE: If you order an EV truck now you wont get it until 2024.Hopefully staying remote and rent not going up, but one can only hope...

Ask HN: Can someone talk me out of learning new languages

Hey folks, I'm thinking of learning 3 new languages for 2021 and hopefully i can converse in those languages by 2022I'm just not sure if the trade-off is worth it for me to aggressively pursue it or if i should put it on hold for another year so i can learn more practical skill that has an immediate impact to those around me

I used to work in the oil industry (Alberta) when I was in undergrad. I was offered to quit school and get paid 90k.

Thanks god I rejected that offer and went to tech. Most of my friends were laughing that I was taking computing science. They were making 90-130k in the trades.

Then the recession hit and most of them are now unemployed or have taken a huge paycut.

I feel bad for them since they took out a mortgage and a 70k truck. I'm not angry at them for making fun of my career. I just wish people would respect people's career choice.

Re:AWS mistakes to avoid on Saturday December 26, 2015 @03:19PM (#10795130)
You know what I've realized that's really important. More AWS tutorials is really needed. There's numerous of new programmers who want to learn AWS, but can't finish building anything because they get buried in documentation.

I find there are a lot of high-level abstracted tutorials, but for the new services, there aren't a lot of detailed tutorials.

For instance, an implemented cognito->gateway->lambda->dynamodb is really hard for a newbie to do.
