I find that a “good” font is just whatever aesthetic people find popular, regardless of legibility.

maybe I’m out of the loop, but what is the “obsession” with AI that’s ruining it? GitHub still works for me like it always has. How are other people using GitHub?

What do I feel like custom font generation is one thing AI could be really good at but so far I haven’t seen anything of that sort? Seems like you could easily prompt whatever vibe you’re looking for in a font, why even bother buying commer

Same thing happened after dotcom. Same thing happened after 2008. Same thing will happen now during AI and the trump recession. After every downturn ends, there comes a sudden hunger for engineers, and companies can’t seem to get enough. So

If you want to become a better writer, write comments, not blog posts. And if you engage with others, it becomes more fun.

I have found that at many companies with these kind of policies are selectively enforced. If you don’t show up, nothing will happen to you, until someday they need some kind of reason to fire you. This ensures you have a steady pool of em

So what you’re saying is, if you want a condo, just wait, because a price drop soon means your money will go a lot further. If you want a SFH, buy now, price drop will be small.

Maybe the path to redemption for AI stealing jobs would be if people would have to be rehired en masse to write and produce art, about whatever they want, so that it can be used to train more advanced AI.

Modern LLMs could be like the equivalent of those steam powered toys the Romans had in their time. Steam tech went through a long winter before finally being fully utilized for the Industrial Revolution. We’ll probably never see the true AI

An ageist company culture does not mean the company is a fraud though or that the jobs are fake. It’s all very real, you are just rejected, that’s what makes it so frustrating, you could be living the good life if only those people weren’t

“Companies” don’t hire people, a few human individuals acting autonomously, with their own beliefs and biases, are ultimately responsible for bringing someone new onboard. Once you hit 40s just get the botox anyway. Looks better. Only lasts

The industry had turned to shit long ago when we deviated from the path of the UNIX philosophy and fell into cargo cult frontend programming. We had the most powerful UI in the world, the command line, and we gave it up for pretty pixels an

The simple answer is we are in a recession and no one wants to spend money on new hires right now if they can avoid it.

Take care of yourself: exercise, skin care, fashion trends, botox, hair dye, etc. so you do not look 50+ and no one will know the difference.

While it’s true that all we need is one to work out, in general we strive to be in positions where we have multiple options, not just hinging everything on one passing chance. Life is less stressful that way, and that’s why people today fee

That’s not a problem that generalizes to the broader population. We don’t really need internet.

There’s no need really, you can already download air quality data from dedicated sensor towers.

It saddens me that despite making a confession and making myself vulnerable to a wider audience, I am downvoted and flagged to hell. I won’t be discussing this any further.

We definitely have self driving cars, people just want to move the goal posts constantly.

Sorry but why should people be entitled to visit the Louvre for cheap? Some of the same people who don’t want to spend $300 for a Louvre ticket will happily blow thousands on visiting Disneyworld and put themselves in debt. Get outta here.

Not really. Any fool could have anticipated the eventual result of transformer architecture if pursued to its maximum viable form. What is impressive is the massive scale of data collection and compute resources rolled out, and the amount

I’d wager that you could 10x for non-EU tourists and still make more money and have way less crowds leading to a better experience for all.

Why? 75k years in geological timescales is nothing. If there are creatures who could live longer than that, perhaps by hibernating or just having really long lifetimes, space exploration is feasible with slow craft.

It is all those things. It consistently fails to make truly novel discoveries, everything it does is derived from something it trained on from somewhere. No point in arguing about it though with true believers, they will never change their

I think it’s mostly bullshit, and a misunderstanding of what poverty is. Poverty doesn’t mean you can only afford bare minimum stuff and can’t take any vacations or buy luxuries. It means you are struggling. People in poverty do not have ch
