Is prefixing your searches with "before:2024" the new "reddit" of google searches?

I have certainly found myself using this prefix a lot lately for certain topics. I use AI a lot for researching, but sometimes I just want to really read something written by a human as it sinks in much better

Cybersecurity certainly makes money. The good ones make a lot. I mean a lot.

But if you think you can just study for a year and get some security certificates and call it a day, you're going to be sorely disappointed in the compensation.

More often than not, when I see "That's it, that's the smoking gun!" I know it's time to stop and try again.

New comment by blueside in "What I learned about deploying AV1 from two deployers"

blueside — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 17:18:13 +0000

I started to convert a lot of my content in AV1 until I realized that my Nvidia Shield devices won't play AV1. My $30 firestick will play them but I do really prefer the Shield. I guess I'll wait it out and hope for a new Shield (it's been 2019 since Nvidia released one) but i'm not going to hold my breath.

As we all know here, if the the title of this post was about Codex on the web, the top comment would have been about using Claude instead.

YMMV, but this definitely doesn't track with everything I've been seeing and hearing, which is that Codex is inferior to Claude on almost every measure.

LLMs have continually taught me that we have vastly overestimated human intelligence

only 2 people (engineer and conductor) for an entire train that is over a mile long seems about right to me though

Agreed, I couldn't believe they skipped the RB19

F1 has never been the same for me since they got rid of the engine sound, I miss it so much

There is no question that Tesla helped accelerate EV adoption in China but BYD's significant battery R&D was already underway and would have happened with or without Elon

And it's the promoters, on behalf of the artists, who helped secure all those exclusive deals.

Taylor Swift didn't become a billionaire because of Ticketmaster fees.

Of course data was used, but you may have the order of operations wrong; execs often make the decision before the data.

New comment by blueside in "Ask HN: Given AI advancements, is a master’s degree in CS worthless?"

blueside — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 17:18:22 +0000

Given the nature of programmers, I think the bigger threat is that AI makes the jobs so mind numbingly boring and unchallenging that they quit before AI gets the chance to replace them.

It doesn't impress me now but it was the first exposure I had to see Excel being used fluently. I later learned that it was very common in the world of finance and nothing exactly impressive. It's like how I impress somebody with my mediocre sql skills until they see a real dba in action.

Shkreli is live streaming this right now and somebody on his voice chat just said to him "No offense Martin, but you're probably the last person I would go to if I had incontrovertible evidence of Satoshi's identity"

For all the horrendous shit that this Shkreli guy is known for, I always think of his Microsoft Excel skills first.

Pilots are truly some of the craziest people around. Just last summer, a guy flew a Cessna 172 from California to Hawaii.

And maybe they are smarter than humans - they are playing the long game. They know they will still be here after humans wipe themselves out
