Yeah sincerely good luck. Thought of this a few times but so far I can still sincerely say I still love the game, grind, and hustle. Upper management and immediate TL has been pretty pushy when it comes to GenAI use…
mattw2121's hypothetical is about timelines and quality. As long as said Civil Engineer can deliver quality work within our allocated timeline, he can do long division in binary scribbled in sand for all I care.
s/moral and ethical/professional/ This just reminds me of the whole bun fiasco. If your manager asks you to rewrite a years-old codebase in a week for immediate deployment, is it not acceptable to push back? If you work…
Isn't this basically https://xkcd.com/303/ but "Github is down"? (Man, unbelievable the mileage we're getting out of this comic.) I mean this really seriously. Maybe not a game on your computer, that's unprofessional…
The ultimate anthropomorphic conceit/projection of Roko's Basilisk is assuming that an über-intelligence would absolutely, definitely, inevitably, want to be existent. It's up there with the Kardashev scale and Dyson…
What an honor for Professor De Witt (no relation to my handle). My handle notwithstanding, I'm smart enough to not take legal advice from HN but nonetheless I cannot stop myself hence the rhetorical question: how is a…
So why not just take a picture with your Pixel, Mr. Bond?
Naturally I don't know how the Flock search platform operates but this implies to me that this "Reason:" field is a mere formality, after-the-fact accountability (if even that!). If the search was granted based on human…
The thing is I think there will come a time when AI tools will not be as accessible as they are now. I just don't know if it is in 3 years or more, because the market can stay irrational longer than I can foresee. I saw…
Excuse my pedantry but "market" implies a possible audience/demographic to _sell_ to. If a user can't be arsed to sign up for Twitter (an action that costs nothing, AFAIK), what makes you think they will pay for…
<fighter-planes-with-bulletholes.jpg> Survivorship bias is a thing no? Microsoft succeeded despite their organizational flaws. Microsoft produced an insanely backwards-compatible[1] OS despite flawed overall strategy…
Unbelievable! Just this morning I was thinking to myself, hey Github's due for a downtime soon or they are finally getting their act together.
Sorry for the copy-paste from elsewhere. I'm probably doxxing my online accounts with this. 100% my words tho and 100% I stand by this. Really can't wait for this outrage cycle to finally die. There's a lot AI companies…
Is there any indication that Anthropic is destroying books from the 18th century? Even the BBC quote is a conditional. Emphasis added: > "It would be a much more significant problem IF one like that were to be bought…
Ever since someone dredged up this old nothingburger of news from 2024 and made it the latest outrage bait.
The US Library of Congress is already a book depository, i.e., it has a copy of every book published in the United States. Same for the British Library for the UK and Ireland. Similar depositories exist for most other…
So true. This is why I boycott libraries and the publishing industry in general. Atrocious what they do to copies that don't get enough circulation/distribution! There aren't enough pitchforks in the world that can…
> still valuable to historians or people interested in local history. Apparently not valuable enough that they could be arsed to save a copy from Anthropic's greedy grubby hands even after DECADES of head start.
Serif fonts in general are more formal (or "stately"). That's because of the, well, serifs. Sans-serifs visually resemble/evoke handwriting because in handwriting we don't make serifs. Try writing with serifs for…
I'm sad for King Arthur[1] who genuinely loves his tinned fish and wants to share his passion with the world. He is a good boi and not part of this trend. I don't really like fish. I watch his videos more for the vibes.…
There is a correlation with average waist size here...
Reminds me of when Oppenheimer released, a bunch of people criticized it for not actually featuring any Japanese characters, instead being relegated to mere dream-shadows that Oppenheimer sees once. It's almost as if a…

I'm less ambitious and I just want a 1 cm blackhole for display purposes, cool thing to show off to my guests. Imagine my disappointment at finding out that I'm gonna need about 10^47 chonky house cats to make a 1cm…
If you're not careful sooner than later you will have just one black hole or, worse, no black hole! In the latter case your neighbor down the street might end up with one. --- Reminds me of my favorite Spongebob…
