Plenty of people these days insist on stamping anything that looks like time with a time zone. Getting that right through the entire stack is like winning the lottery imo. When dealing with different time zones, I've had some success i

Muscimol and Mescaline likewise; unless you're on big pharama med, I'd say most hallucinogenics are worth trying.

My Linux life started even earlier, with a borrowed Red Hat 4 CD around 1995/6. But it took quite a few years before it ran well enough for me to consider using it full time. I remember the first versions of GNOME being buggy as hell.

Like others have already said, pass it on.

Nokia made some pretty nice phones there for a while, and the OS looked pretty usable by Microsloth's standards. I blame Ballmer, he's like Steve Gate's less intelligent but at least as evil brother.

Forget about Palm, BeOS is the real tragedy here.

Another seemingly intelligent developer's brain turns to mush. Good times, more jobs for the rest of us once the clown party is over.

Reasoning means what reasoning always meant. Selling an algorithm that can write a list of steps as reasoning is bordering on fraud. It's not uncommon that they guess the right solution, and then "reason" their way out of it.

If only these were common problems that were difficult to otherwise avoid.

Which they will eventually; so the point stands, no matter how unpopular with the AI excusers out there.

And then they all go out of business, since models cost a fortune to build, and their fan club is left staring at their computers trying to remember how to do anything without getting it served on a silver plate.

I've been working on lowering the bar for designing new languages lately: https://github.com/codr7/shi Very much a work in progress, but I hope to soon be able to provide the same minimal interpreter in Java/

Coding mostly, which is what I mainly use computers for; it offers pretty nice C++ APIs for building apps. But I also used GoBe Productive, which is by far the nicest office suite I've tried. And playing music, back then it was the onl

Imo they had already lost at this point. Sad, I used BeOS full time for a few glorious months right after the Intel pivot. Reminded me of my Amiga days.

More likely causing/accelerating it.

Not just fruit flies, apparently. A majority of our politicians and celebrities have unusually itchy noses. As well as HN readers, judging by the down votes.

After just having tech lead a team for a month at one of the bigger providers of online casinos and sports betting; because I simply couldn't find anything else at that point in time and I had already struggled for quite some time with

Not the same thing. Using Google to find an answer is convenient, and I'm sure you would miss it. But telling a machine to think for you outsources everything, once it's gone you have nothing left.

There are also no indications that it's coming. Anyone who assumes so is delusional.

But the stuff you're so happy to not do is what software development is all about, telling a computer exactly what to do. Why not switch jobs if you don't like it?

Not the same thing, a search engine is a tool you use, an AI is something that uses you as a tool.

The brain is not the origin of consciousness, period.

It wasn't an attack, it was good advice. The more you use that crap, the less intelligent you become. Everyone else notices, even if it doesn't seem like it's happening to you because your machine keeps telling you you'r

It's perfectly obvious to me that physics (excluding quantum physics which is scratching the surface) can't describe consciousness. If it could, it would have by now.

So how much did you invest in AI? Because you're not making much sense. You're saying it's not a problem because people will happily keep using LLM's that don't contain any new information after 2024. Really?

They're also out of date, which makes them useless pretty fast.

Not at the rate people are giving up their creativity to serve the machine.
