When tech companies lay off large amounts of workers like this, they often immediately replace them with H1Bs. These layoffs are almost always cost-cutting measures, not caused by lack of work - the work is still there and still has to be d

You really think a billionaire is going out of his way to take a moral stance against "sexual exploitation" just because? He stands to gain something from it. They always do. I bet some of his friends just happen to own profession

Maybe not, but how much of that was luck? I think it's only a matter of time until a similar compromise happens but nobody notices it for a few days, better safe than sorry.

This confused me too, until I realized that the article is about pnpm, not npm (pnpm reads .npmrc for some reason, despite not having the same options as npm) On a related note, it seems to be impossible to find the documentation of min-rel

I highly recommend enforcing a minimum dependency release age of at least a week across all package managers used at your workplace. Most package managers support it now, and it will save you from the vast majority of these attacks. https:

You don't even need to read past the first timeline entry. The name "Marcus Chen" is literally a meme within AI creative writing circles due to how often Claude defaults to that exact name when naming fictional characters.

Both comments appeared as [dead] within a few minutes of being made, despite not appearing as [flagged]. They're visible now, but still. What caused them to appear as [dead] in the first place?

Looks like the moderators are actively deleting comments that call out AI generated articles now. Grim. This comment will probably be deleted too.

The entire article is just one long stream of short, punchy, declarative sentences. The latest Claude models are notorious for writing like this. There's also a few cookie-cutter patterns that should immediately jump out at you if you&

Only downsized? I would expect them to cease to exist entirely in the coming years, as western companies begin to realize that AI is cheaper and more competent than the Indian firms they usually outsource work to.

Okay, so where are they? Show us some. Let's be honest here, how many of these "specialized ultra-nerdy communities" are closed off Discord servers?

What this proves is that browsers and operating systems are increasingly integrating language models, not that they are expected to do so. The only people who expect them to do so are big tech executives. The average user does not expect no
