Dear HN, please stop posts like this in making to the top page. This actually normalizes the idea of suicide even with people not thinking about it. I don’t remember the book but it has been discussed a lot in psychological aspects of these news articles influencing the behaviour in them.

This is why hn is the best. First comment helps to decide if we need to read the article or not .

Very true. If a PR has 1000 lines I would check only a handful full of them and leave the rest for test suit .

I always check hn comments before viewing the article . The comments alone saved me lot of time for not viewing the article

Meta has something similar to this using mercurial. It was awesome.

Ex-WhatsApp engineer here. WhatsApp team makes so much effort to make this end to end encrypted messages possible. From the time I worked I know for sure it is not possible to read the encrypted messages.

From business standpoint they don’t have to read these messages, since WhatsApp business API provide the necessary funding for the org as a whole.

I have not fired a technical writer, but writing documentation that understands and maintains users focus is hard even with llm. I am trying to write documentation for my start up and it is harder than I expected even with llm.

Kudos to all technical writer who made my job as software engineer easier.

I feel local rag system , slows down my computer (I got M1 Pro 32 GB)

So I use hosted one to prevent this. My business use vector db, so created a new db to vectorize and host my knowledge base. 1. All my knowledge base is markdown files. So I split that by header tags. 2. The split is hashed and hash value is stored in SQLite 3. The hashed version is vectorized and pushed to cloud db. 4. When ever I make changes , I run a script which splits and checks hash, if it is changed the. I upsert the document. If not I don’t do anything. This helps me keep the store up to date

For search I have a cli query which searches and fetches from vector store.

The extent people go with cheating interviews. What happens after you pass by cheating? The reason they have rigorous interview is because the company moves at a different phase. You can not survive there if you cheat.
