We're forking Flutter. This is why

Google's corporate focus shift to AI has deprioritized Flutter's desktop platforms, creating a labor shortage for this once rapidly expanding UI toolkit. In response, a fork named Flock is being developed to include essential bug fixes and features the Flutter team can't tackle, aiming to accelerate Flutter's growth through community involvement. Flock plans to improve contribution processes and streamline PR reviews, bridging the gap in support and development pace left by the main Flutter team.

Using Reinforcement Learning and $4.80 of GPU Time to Find the Best HN Post Ever

The reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to develop a reward model that predicts upvote counts for Hacker News stories. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset and $4.80 of GPU time, the reward model was trained on features like titles, authors, and content to optimize for post quality, with the ultimate goal of utilizing RLHF techniques to enhance the creation of high-value content. The resulting model, while not perfect, can successfully identify underappreciated stories and predict potential front-page hits.
