I really fail to understand how a company can consciously guide itself to degrade so badly. Like these were actual decisions of meetings and the results of a ton of work of teams to implement. And it destroyed the site. Product of too much

Life is a game. If basketball rules sucked, far less would play and definitely not at its current scale. If you block the game of capitalism you stunt all of the growth and innovation that comes with it. It’s how people tick.

No NBA player may score more than 100 points per season. After reaching this cap they may only pass the ball.

Sure, but none of the above things would ever merit a mention. I don't care about any of these particular things. But when all of them are combined it's a red flag. So I looked into it and it turned out I was right. I bought 8h of

Oh, I do too. But then his monotone typing out of the answer, eyes darting back and forth between two screens, it’s kind of obvious. The select all just starts me looking.

That was me interviewing someone yesterday. The telltale select all is so cringe.

It only came up because the person seemed mentally unavailable, and would only do what was asked of them. Yes, I’m paying a full salary for initiative and responsibility.

I started looking because there were little things - he would not use his camera on zoom when the rest of the company does, he would only screenshare one tab at a time, he would not put us on his LinkedIn profile. I looked around and notice

Did they spend 10 hours a week in the office, another 20 across the street working at Starbucks and another 10 hours working at the local movie theatre, all from 9 to 5, and draw full time paychecks from all three?

I just went through a rough case this week where one of my employees was overemployed FT by three companies and pushing commits to these throughout the workday. When confronted he denied it despite overwhelming evidence, gaslighted me by pa

> The screen also interrupts EU users’ experience the first time they open Safari intending to navigate to a webpage. This paints it as an unfortunate UX blight demanded by the DMA.

Trash SEO article. You have to sleuth through a page of info and ads to glean a paragraph of inconclusive content. Looking at you, Google.

This is meaningless. A few employees did this. Companies are composed of people. The whole company wasn't busy being distracted. They just had a worse business model.

Nostalgia aside, this isn’t actually better. The animations alone would be enough to drop most users after an hour.

NPM as a soulless entity is easy to bash, while the creator of the package is a popular tech influencer so naturally has the support of the masses. If you’re going to complain about NPM, describe how you would solve it in their shoes.

Just like the Turing Test turned out to be a bad metric, maybe transistor count isn’t the best metric to stand the test of time. Transistor count used to matter more in chip design and now there are just more important factors. It’s silly a

I personally pin SEO gaming as the #1 cause of decline in the quality of the Internet. I only use Google at this point as a rapid link to websites so I don't have to type the URL. SEO posts just trash any meaningful search and Google s

I had GPT 4 write a screenplay with a summary of the events of the past week. I then fed that screenplay back to it and asked it to rate it in terms of realism. It got a 3. https://chat.openai.com/share/156e4495-2e57-49

It’s not just this, you are given answers to related questions when the answer to your actual question is further down. Possibly to increase stickiness? It doesn’t make sense.

I have trouble finding respect for Adam knowing he permitted Quora to gradually transform from something promising to trashing it’s quality for financial sellout to the point that it can no longer be taken seriously. I don’t understand how

Don't know why this is trending on HN. It's not a coincidence that in a majority of these stories, they also have a large blog, social media following or in some other way are selling their success. This is just another person bei

Looks neat iFelix! I'm interested to know how much time you've actually spent using CRMs or ERPs yourself. Not clicking around and exploring features, but actually using for something. While I know this is a very early release, my

Yeah, I agree with you on the overfitting, but I think when the dust settles the working uses for it will emerge and the rest will be trashed. To your point, I think its fully open-ended uses such as a chatbot will relatively fade. I predic

I think you're just not thinking hard enough of ways to use it -- use cases where "close enough" can be augmented by deterministic validation, cleanup and iteration to perform real-world work that is "all the way".
