This is just how junior and intermediate devs behave. It’s like a goth phase or something. It goes along with being into BJJ, chess, vim, keto, linters, and “the dominance hierarchy”. It’s annoying, but most everyone went through it. If you

I’ve been looking for, (and I’d even pay for) an os9 platinum theme that worked in 2025 (wayland or newer GTK).

It matches my experience as well. I find the models very useful to chat about library documentation or high level algorithm concepts, but I find the code it generates to be… I don’t know how else to say it… really bad and often out of conte

Unpopular opinion: it would be easier to replace the C suite people with reasoning models than it would be to replace engineering. VCs would probably like that as well. Maybe pitch that to CEOs as a cost saving meausre.

The faster leetcode interviews can be completely broken to the point they are abandoned the better.

I agree, but limited isn’t the same as opinionated. In these types of usage, people seem to think they are opinionated because they are right. I think it’s misunderstanding the angst of knowledgeable people’s frustration with the world, by

I find most often people who are opinionated have very little knowledge on the subject. They are opinionated in an effort to try to keep discussions in a realm they feel they have some sort of expertise, but by definition their limited view

This is very cool - can you do window focus based on the window I am looking at next? :)

I don’t think you intended this, but it made me chuckle… Your comment essentially boils down to “come from a privileged background and things will work out”.

I have made several successful products in the past few years using primarily embeddings and cosine similarity. Can recommend. It’s amazingly effective (compared to what most people are using today anyway).

Try to add a directory named mything.service - no service for you!. You can even try creating it in a terminal and then looking at it in finder. Ooof.

I disagree. That would indicate conversations skills equate to knowing what you are talking about. "Yes, you are not in fact immune to this even if you think you are, that’s why it’s so dangerous." I think that I am. I'll thi

If you can’t sit down with someone, have a simple tech conversation with them and be able to tell if they know what they are doing… if you need to “give someone a test”… the problem is likely not the candidate.

Maybe if we made LLMs out of steak people would stop thinking they were conscious.

I have 30 years of industry experience, but I am obviously not as useful as someone who read a book about things other people have done and took a multiple choice quiz about it.

After half a year of trying, I’ve just given up looking for a job. I’ve been surviving on contacts where I do the work of the people who pass the interviews, but don’t know how to do the actual work. It’s a strange world.

I think it was Feynman who said something to the effect of “writing is thinking”.

Not to stop you from trying, I encourage the effort, but I think you’ll find starting your own business will just lead to you to becoming profit-focused - if you like eating and paying rent that is.

If you would like to put Kubernetes on top of this kind of setup this repo is helpful https://github.com/robrohan/skoupidia The main benefit is you can shut off nodes entirely when not using them, and then when you tur

Did you get shot at in high school or have to fight off gangs everyday? Did you eat everyday? Having a higher odds of getting something is privilege. Rich people’s kids have a much higher likelihood of being rich wouldn’t you say? There are

Legacy admission. Be born in Palo Alto vs. South Central LA. Yeah, “they” have to work hard, but not as hard as some people to get even halfway there. That’s what privilege means.

I’ve been thinking about this lately, and I am just getting into AI and NNs so take this with some salt… A service could easily add something after the fact - like a water mark, but I think if it was mixed in with the content it would get l

Have they done anything that makes them worthy of getting stock or have they always been dead weight? Just being around a long time isn’t something worth rewarding IMHO. If they did something / a lot of effort early on, but are now goi
