> And perhaps worst of all, trust is being lost. Users are tired of bait-and-switch, surprise deprecations, and data lock-ins. There's a feeling that too many SaaS businesses are more concerned with growth-at-all-costs…
This is decidedly not true on almost every account. Europe has its own opioid crisis, and we absolutely can blame other countries who play host to the primary runners of heroin and synthesizers of fent. The pain…
You missed the sarcasm. HN articles all follow a formula, almost predictably so, where they’re lazy thought pieces by a self important blogger.
This might shock your worldview but cheating is absolutely rampant in STEM programs in person too. I still remember the corrupt graduate students who would circulate exam answers and/or take money to get copies of…
Remote and correspondence (the same thing really) have existed forever. There is zero basis for your statement it’s worse, and there is zero basis for your statement that there is compromise. Remote schooling allows…
I don't really believe the bent on this article that the hospital was at fault. There's an implication that Lawrence Livermore was in some sort of cover up and I don't really buy that line of BS either. Its a tragedy…
While I agree code like this shouldn't be released fail-deadly it's also patently obvious it's not to be used. There is sufficient notice in the README. If someone uses this, it's at their own peril. Would you make the…
Looking back at what my best managers (I have two) had in common: * Cared deeply about my personal progress. Not just at work but in life. Am I feeling okay? How are things going? What are your interests? Are you doing…
> Assuming they are akin to grad students, these "fresh graduates" likely have more intersectional knowledge than long-time deep domain experts. I've worked in grant funding landscape, and one of the biggest challenges…
Not an exaggeration, I can confirm OPs story at my own university. When I was in school (2010) the first year had a drop out rate of over 80%. The first class took out over 50%. Many people didn’t have any idea how to…
XXY was not on his card. It was YXX. Some idiot on a rumor mill website speculated it was due to this that he must have the disease. It’s debunked. Further he would be an incredible case study given his stature and…
> Choosing the wrong partner is one of the biggest risks you take in your life, especially for a woman. This is one of those things that can easily lead to you being bankrupt with nothing. This can lead to you being…
This is a function of limited risk pooling. Health insurance companies are state-locked. In the limit they function as options sellers in a stock market. If they can’t hedge off volatility with a larger risk pooling…
Denying life saving treatment to bolster your bottom line for shareholders is also murder by any other name. If you consider murder as requiring malice aforethought then it certainly fits the bill. Just because someone…
You act like software engineering is a respected field. Most of our job is fixing slop. Previously this was slop produced by low quality cut rate developers in countries known for outsourcing. Now it’s just fixing AI…
AI is the only reason I’ve been able to keep up with the constant death marches. Since the job market went to shit employers are piling on as much work as they can knowing they have indentured servants. The code quality…

It's upsetting to the progressives but Biden and Obama both deported far more than Trump did. Thankfully we have archives and youtube, entirely searchable, where from 2008-2012 the democrats were strongly for sending…
On the contrary with cheap LLMs this practice will be more prevalent. If you lift the cost barrier the McKinseys will be attaching all sorts of AI to everything. All the AI bust means is that for engineers working at…
