How are you filling your days? A few months ago I was upskilling and prepping for interviews but i've lost all motivation now. I don't want any of this, AI has poisoned the whole ecosystem for good even if one did get…

I think the difference between an AI maximalist and an AI pessimist lies in whether they're able to leverage AI to make their lives easier as opposed to those who can't do that because there is no one to pay them to do…

For years now, it was clear if you wanted to do cutting edge research in ML you needed access to GPUs that could only be provided by billion dollar companies or governments. Now we're seeing the same spillover to…

I was listening to an old podcast (because all the current ones are obsessed with the AI) and they compared Python to Javascript. At the time and even now that comparison made sense. They're both considered general…

I downloaded it and compiled it and ran some toy programs. I have no idea how to use it for an actual project even though I have a stack of dusty rpi's and esp32s in the drawer. Any one want to share their inspiration?

I was listening to an old postcast from 2021 which discusses the inexplicable rise of Python. I remember much of the positive sentiment around Python in the early days being less about Python and more about how powerful…

I think there is a trend of using Rust to do X where X is something already done in Python/Javascript/Go/whatever and making it go zoom. Are there any such projects for a time rich unemployed hacker of average ability…

I've exhausted corerecursive episodes which i've been enjoying for my running. Recommend something that will teach and inform and inspire the hacker's spirit.

I'd like to finally make the switch from a paid Jira dealerer to making my own way. I couldn't do it before, lack of skills mainly to do a whole project from start to finish but with Claude whatever i can probably do…

I like Vue but I don't want to invest in something without a payoff (in terms of employability). I hate react but it has more jobs. To me, even if Svelte is good, it's a waste of time because Vue and React are dominant…

I'm not good enough to stick around and actually see my bad code come back to bite me. I want out but I don't know how. I leave behind a trail of broken hopes and dreams. I am good enough to get a gig, not good enough…

If you click on 'past' you can choose a year back and the newsfeed is filled with all kinds of interesting and wonderful posts. These days all you'll find are rehashed to death AI talking points but even a year ago,…

To the OGs, does it feel the same way it did back then?

Can't order by hot/top (what was interesting over the last 48hrs? 7 days? etc). PG can post his spam and we have to engage it. The url news.ycombinator.com is of no use to 99% of us, we dont care about PG's startup…

I can imagine once you have finetuned GPT4 on all the documents(including code) of a business you have a pretty good repository of knowledge which you can rely on to answer questions, implement features, detect bugs and…

For me it would be getting it working in vscode as a first class citizen (ie equivalent to slime or cider or what have you). But going back to emacs except for a glorified notepad is a nope never proposition.
