I'm basically restating what you said, but it's amazing to me that the vast majority of people you will meet, even educated people, are casual dualists and free-will libertarians. If they happen to acknowledge…
Because, as the OP said, working hours are powered by norms. There are salaried positions and companies and teams that certainly will make you work 6 days a week, or make you feel like a bad worker if you don't do…

The real question is: Why are people designing benchmarks that, if a model is trained on them, it won't improve the performance of the model at any real-world tasks? Why would anyone care about such benchmarks?
But there is a way for even an aligned federal government to fight back against the slide into authoritarianism, even with an authoritarian president expanding the powers of the executive, and that is for the other…

Sure, but the author is arguing that the outcome you're describing is tightly coupled to the perverse incentives that he describes in the article. Investors pushed the company towards extraction over innovation and the…
I'm not so sure I buy the premise that engineers are really dismissing AI because it's still not good enough. At the very least, this framing does not get to the heart of why certain engineers dislike AI. Many of the…
Low mileage used cars don't come with a warranty, or probably have a more limited warranty if they're CPO. Leases can be better, but again they are usually better choices in high depreciation scenarios (like luxury…
Have you seen the prices of pre-owned Honda/Toyota sedans that are less than 5 years old? There are absolutely cars out there where trading in your new car after 3-4 years can make sense depending on the cost of the…
Those things also require more willpower than taking a medication. Willpower is generally determined by your particular psychology which is determined by genetics and environmental factors. People don't have a choice in…
"Real industry" also has quite a hard time getting things done these days. If you look around at the software landscape, you'll notice that "getting things done" is much easier for companies whose software interfaces…
I think the problem is false positives, not false negatives. The people you interact with during the interview process have all sorts of reasons to embellish the experience of working at their company.
You hit the nail on the head. There is no place on the internet more broadly susceptible to the same kinds of "founder brain" malaise that has afflicted so many in Silicon Valley--i.e. "I am good at software development…
Maybe it that's an apt analogy in more ways than one, given the recent research out of MIT on AI's impact on the brain, and previous findings about GPS use deteriorating navigation skills: > The narrative synthesis…
I think it's a bit fallacious to imply that the only way we could be in an AI investment bubble is if people are reasoning incorrectly about the thing. Or at least, it's a bit reductive. There are risks associated with…

As you alluded to at the end of your post—I'm not really convinced 20k LOC is very limiting. How many lines of code can you fit in your working mental model of a program? Certainly less than 20k concrete lines of text…
Are you a paid user? I haven't seen a model selector in years.
How would I even know? I haven't seen which model of ChatGPT I'm using on the site ever since they obfuscated that information at some point.
Theories are hard because the world is complex. I guess that sounds trivial but it really should be said more often. There is no silver bullet with these things, because the systems are so complicated that it is hard to…
A lot of the time, multiple devs working on a single branch can be avoided via different decisions made upstream about work that needs done. If my job included more git wrangling as one of my daily tasks I would…
My thought is, if a GUI like GH Desktop makes it hard to use Git, then your workflow is too complicated. Version control doesn't have to be complicated. But a lot of that is upstream decisions about how you structure…
How about... greater benefits to people who are unemployed? I mean, UBI is inherently a poor policy for "mass unemployment scenarios", because there is no feasible scenario in which the majority of people are…
