If going for speed, would something like Go make more sense? Bonus: Cross platform with no dependency helljazz.

And if going for async (and speed), Rust? Bonus: Security at core (not that Go's not).

I just went to read that article.

Why would an author complain that the average 12 books read by an average American a year is likely a combination of those who read nothing after high school and those that read vicariously yet not seek out a source, simply let an unverified, unsourced, unreferenced thing sit there.

It seems that reading 100 pages a day does not guarantee development of critical skills.

The answers to the author's lede are here: https://wordsrated.com/how-many-books-does-the-average-perso...

Please don't take away from the point.

Quite difficult = Not impossible.

So, completely difficult. But completely difficult doesn't sound quite right, probably as less syllables are preferred over many unless there's a quite good reason to prefer the latter.

Facebook, Amazon, OpenAI (or Altman) each $1million.

This number, on a technology and presidential scale, seems low. Is it a mutual protection risk strategy, a political equivalent of patent-sharing?

Sell vertical.

Sell aphrodisiacs, contraceptives, toys and real-dolls. Weddings. Honeymoons. Get a finger in finance with mortgage and insurance commissions, kids' savings funds, retirement planning.

Because you met each other on Tinder. So it's the root shared experience of the relationship that all these 'value adds' stem from. An alumni network of coupling.

Your didn't RTFA comment missed the mark quite wide this time as the perpetrator defunded the state which rarely goes well unless you are the state.

Creativity used to be the word.

Now it's innovation.

These words are not synonyms of each other. Creativity dropped out of business-speak around 2000.

I'll not pay $200, and if the $20/month option feels like it's being degraded in service quality I'll

* Switch to Kimi Moonshot or other competition (quick/lazy optin), or

* Host my own Llama 3.x (time to set up, can batch my own work, but setting up an LLM is not documented as well as setting up a VPS was 10 years back - i.e. pretty well).

There's a positive association between 1337code interview hurdles and lack of management competence.

Someone without the confidence to hire someone without going through a bunch of hoops to justify themselves is even less likely to admit humility and say they were wrong. Which makes places that employ these interview techniques terribly passive aggressive places to be.

Yours might be HN's first comment from South Georgia!

Term inflation.

In half a generation, audit will be relabelled re-teaming. It's ironic.

It would be great to have a demo game to get a feel of.. the feel, without needing to enter an email address.
