They detained a green card holder who didn't break any laws and tortured him for weeks. They deported a French scientist over private speech after searching his phone. Why do you think all this is just going to be okay?

Hopefully the new guys take the existing GenAI bullshit and fuck off from turning it back on after every update despite me turning it off 3 times already.

And yet they're so massive that them all doing layoffs at the same time despite that profitability has a huge impact on the labor market of the while industry.

Should the most profitable companies on the planet be free to lay off good performers in a country where healthcare is tied to employment? You can invent strawmen like poor performers and failing companies all day long but the facts differ

If they can offshore your job because you joined a union they can do so if you didn't join one too.

Incredible that people like you will watch the industry lay off hundreds of thousands of workers then turn around and make this argument. It's like devs are allergic to any semblance of labor solidarity.

C compilers are deterministic. You don't have to inspect the assembly they produce to know that it did the right thing.

You're just describing programming without realizing that having a stochastic and imprecise programming language is a leaky abstraction. The problem isn't that a "pro bowler" could come in and do something irrelevant for

You can be as snarky as you want but the reality is we're years deep into a market cycle that has seen a tremendous amount of capex with very little visible return. How much more productive do you think claude makes you as compared to

Think about what you're asking when you tell these people to interrogate the assumption that LLM based AIs are going to be the dominant technology going forward. Hundreds of billions, the growth of the technology industry, the entire U

Even in the examples he gives, I'm sure Linus would be the first to admit that Linux has a lot of maintainers that have been essential for the project.

It's not lambasting to communicate what happened. IA got a C&D, refused to comply, and got sued for copyright infringement. The courts sided with the publishers when IA tried to claim it was fair use (technologists seem to have a p

I think React and GraphQL are pretty impressive in terms of how shitty they've made the developer experience at so many companies. GraphQL especially seems to attract the kind of people who love to misuse technologies built for massive

They're suing Internet Archive because IA scanned a bunch of copyrighted books to put online for free (e: without even attempting to get permission to do so) then refused to take them down when they got a C&D lol. IA is putting the

Besides the reliance on GPU compute, the insistence of its proponents that it is inevitable, and the plowing of resources into the space by venture capital, sure, it's nothing like crypto.

Yes, the classic retort.

by __loam 2y ago
People have been saying it's still early in crypto for over a decade. This much capital being poured into something and having very little to show for it is actually a bad sign, not a positive. Putting it on the same shelf as the trans
