Microsoft Office migration from Source Depot to Git

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Sada 2026-03-22 07:15:23

After going in deep in product, I found myself drawn to a different challenge: making other developers more productive. As one of my biggest mentors would always say: “Developer productivity is always ‘Multiplier work’, especially in places where you have a lot of developers. By saving a couple minutes from every developer, every day, you’ve saved years of human life waiting for stuff.” The project that really forged me was the Office migration from Source Depot to Git.

People Pretty Much Lost Their Minds When ChatGPT Went Down

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-22 12:31:48

Like all websites, ChatGPT is fallible — and when it went down this week, people lost their godforsaken minds. According to OpenAI's status page, the company has experienced major issues this week, leading to breathless coverage from sites like TechRadar and The Independent — and, unsurprisingly, some massive freakouts on social media. "F*ck I can't code without ChatGPT," someone on the r/ChatGPT subreddit raged. "Ok I can but I am too dependent on ChatGPT to do the grunt work lol." In that s

Why humanoid robots need their own safety rules

technologyreview.com Victoria Turk 2026-03-22 03:11:33

“If Digit’s going to walk out into an aisle in front of you, you don’t want to be surprised by that,” he says. The robot could use voice commands, but audio alone is not practical for a loud industrial setting. It could be even more confusing if you have multiple robots in the same space—which one is trying to get your attention? There’s also a psychological effect that differentiates humanoids from other kinds of robots, says Prather. We naturally anthropomorphize robots that look like us, whi

How long it takes to know if a job is right for you or not

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-20 07:11:49

A few eagle-eyed readers have noticed that it’s been 4 weeks since my last entry in what I have been thinking of as my “niblet series” — one small piece per week, 1000 words or less, for the next three months. This is true. However, I did leave myself some wiggle room in my original goal, when I said “weeks when I am not traveling”, knowing I was traveling 6 of the next 7 weeks. I was going to TRY to write something on the weeks I was traveling, but as you can see, I mostly did not succeed. Oh

Why Silicon Valley Needs Immigration

wired.com Lauren Goode 2026-03-20 10:12:04

Katie Drummond: And particularly at a moment where, as you said, we're in this Cold War with China, we're in this AI arms race. You hear it from the administration, you read about it in WIRED, you hear about it from Sam Altman, other leaders of the AI industry, this like, “We must beat China. We must beat China.” And then stuff like this happens and you feel like, “Let's just hand it to them. Let's just give it to them.” Because we are basically doing that by disincentivizing not only Chinese st

Write Warz developers on how creative writing makes a hilarious party game

venturebeat.com Rachel Kaser 2025-11-16 21:14:57

Write Warz is the recently launched debut title of Boltz Entertainment, a co-op party game that turns the act of storytelling into strategic (and often funny) warfare against your opponents. Building on the tradition of Jackbox-style titles like Quiplash or RiffTrax, Write Warz instead offers a longer-form avenue of storytelling between friends, as up to 6 players can join together to build the narrative. The game launches on Steam in early access on March 6, with horror and pirate-based themes.

Elon Musk is not happy with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking program that adds notes to correct misinformation on his social media platform X. And the billionaire says he’s now going to “fix” Community Notes so that it agrees with him, claiming without evidence that it’s being manipulated by governments and the media. “Unfortunately, @CommunityNotes is increasingly being gamed by governments & legacy media. Working to fix this,” Musk tweeted Thursday. Why is Musk upset? It looks

AI killed the tech interview. Now what?

news.ycombinator.com Kane Narraway 2025-11-16 02:39:02

How can we do better interviews in the age of AI Absolutely nobody likes the hiring process. Not the managers hiring, not the recruitment people, and certainly not the candidates. Tech interviews are one of the worst parts of the process and are pretty much universally hated by the people taking them. We’ve all heard stories of people being asked comp sci questions about O(n) efficiency, only to connect APIs with basic middleware in their day job. I think the image below pretty much sums it up

Apple's iPhone 16E Brings Apple Intelligence Features With a Cheaper Price Tag

cnet.com Abrar Al-Heeti 2025-11-16 23:00:11

Until now, Apple Intelligence has been reserved for the cool kids – aka, the people with the latest, most powerful iPhones. Now, the $599 (£599, AU$999) iPhone 16E is here to shake that up. Apple's latest version of its budget phone line invariably cuts corners when it comes to design and camera specs, but it doesn't hold back with AI. Equipped with an A18 chip -- just like the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus -- the more affordable phone can power a suite of Apple Intelligence features including notifica
