Google: We look forward to [babble babble empty words we don't really mean on principle and more corporate speak that we laugh about having written in the bar.] Is there even a single free non-bargained soul behind these companies&#x27

A tech company can be on unstable ground morally (well I guess all are on principle), or more modernly, in terms of mindshare. Financials are not always the root of all that matters.

Haha, I fire first but always double-check later the things that on second thought look strange. TIL English is still hard for me after over 25 years, and I used to think I was a more careful speller than native speakers who often type by t

A floundering corporation has the extractivist mentality. Windows is on its way out so the suits pump it full of cheap bait to catch all the dollars they can, then they move on to other products naturally. It has been a rotten thing for a w

But Multi-Millionaires need to actually pay for things like real estate and taxes? Is it not enough an honor for something to be owned by the princely class?

I realize my tone was a bit offensive, but yes I am a naturalist by any meaning of that word. In fact if you knew me you'd call me a complete utter quack, so misaligned are my views with mainstream tech worldviews. What I know about GM

Lab stuff is bad when you make it a habit of daily or weekly consumption just because alternatives were never considered. I never take any medication for sleeping, for instance, but use a powerful herb as tea. Sleep drugs, allergy drugs, ar

"important to ensure", "complex array", I've been working with GPT a lot and this GPT-speak is so blatantly weasel worded. Maybe GPT doesn't know any better because the world is so weasel worded into being, wit

It's true that it is always about politics, and lately, populism, all over the world (not that I feel too bad about some leftist populism being able to outvote fascists, as in my country of late, the weapons race of voting almost requi

It is also surprising to realize that China and the chinese actually think as a nation and have a sense of collectivism, whereas the US is to each their gun and their million dollars in the bank. China has always had this sense of being one

These guys are ridiculous, they represent the "I'm losing now so gonna take my ball home crying" mentality. Oh what a pity the US is not able to always win and have all the hot new toys made of american silicon! Of course it&

Societies should not gain leverage over lower classes and then buy their morally broken bodies when they have little else. Of course society should indeed profess the meagerest moral rights and humanity for all and protect that.

Basically useless? I use it to write articles for me[0], hardly could a human turn text around as fast, and I both do not pay it nor owe it anything. It could be slower still, and if you went back just 5 years to 2018 it would seem a miracl

Point taken, though I have long thought the ads were officially the hiring and also the Launch HNs that are now popping left and right from YC W23, and every single one naturally abou ML.

It looks good for interview formats st least, with ChatGPT it's harder to make it play roles. I've been experimenting with interviews to publish on the next installment of my newsletter[0] which is about ChatGPT reviewing code and

Almost a decade ago I jumped ship as a programmer for several reasons, and since '18 I am definitely not coding at all. Friends and family have wondered much at my path and letting go of what has become the one promised career for ever

Not a project itself, but anyone can receive The Generative Review[0] where I do exactly this: collect twice a month open source projects that welcome new contributors through simple initial tasks, every installment is themed around a langu

I have also reached some of these plugin authors for featuring the projects on the next issue of The Generative Review, where some will be code reviewed by ChatGPT itself in a strange loop, and others will have call for volunteers offering

This is shortsighted. AI slave labor is the only route to a true overproduction and marxism, a welfare state. Or every body become slaves.

This is encouraging, as someone starting both a personal blog and a newsletter about language learning in chinese[1], I hope a blog is an easier path into an audience than the competitive lang app market. [1]: https://chinesememe

I have often wondered though how many coders worldwide are really comparable to a rock star, I guess in terms of standing out as a super creative outlier. So many rockstar wannabes out there in the wild world..

Yes, drinking sour or acid juice makes no sense, unless a person will not take sugar because of health issues or is on a strict diet. In the same sense, drinking coffee without sweetening is a bit silly and a punch to the stomach, and provi

Having just this week gone through reviewing (with AI etc) an old vim plugin of mine[1] that tries to add worthwhile features to an editor, that is, vim, and knowing tonsky's Clojure work for a long time (formerly possibly having featu

Maybe if the blurbs are not worth any attention then the book itself and how it's been edited is barely even deserving of that same attention? I'm sure the free classics from gutenberg.org which one can download on a kindle showca

I think it's cool and understandable as a sign of reciprocity.. if the book deserves the blurbs then really the blurbs deserve the book they're stuck with. Of course there is not always reciprocity, but apparently aye in this case
