You’re also not trying to get a full CICD pipeline complete with unit/integration tests, crypto signatures, ability to flip features on and off with a click , monitoring of the cicd pipeline, scaled so 1000s of engineers can work at on

Prices are already increased. We had pretty bad inflation for the last year. At some point some of the zombie businesses need to die and make room for the profitable ones that can pay their workers.

I’ve been there for a while. It’s getting out of hand, and has been since COVID. During COVID I felt good about tipping because small businesses and restaurants were struggling, so it felt like I was doing something positive. But then busin

Maybe I suffer the same fear as op, but I think this is different. The cost to create software is rapidly decreasing with tools like this. For most people on HN making software is how they pay their bills. If I was paying my bills with inje

The view of laying off in a bull market being bad PR implies those companies wanted to lay people off in the first place. During the bull market they were fighting with each other to hire more, which is the opposite signal. Sure the bear ma

If you have a word processor and want an LLM to interact with it, somehow the LLM needs to know that “move text to next page” should actually run “selectedText.moveToNextPage()” And it should be able to give some output like … there’s no se

I am ok with bias in the data. That bias can often be overridden with explicit prompts (used to be able in early versions of chat GPT). The problem is explicitly censoring certain topics and forcing a bias that cannot be overridden by expli

What is the alternative to bullshitting your way in ? “I worked on this project, I did the right things, wrote all the documentation, there were no bugs, etc” Everyone will say that, how is an interviewer going to tell who’s honest and who

I agree with the premise that content will get more polluted, but there is an element of human vote every time we choose a prompt output and say “this is good enough for me to post/use/turn into a book”. This is just a very convol

Here is a study from 2008, where 50% of med students show symptoms of burnout, and about 10% suicide ideation. It does not say anything about drug use, but the high stress and depression the article talks about seems to be confirmed. http:

It depends how Chrome is programmed to detect languages. The language detection could be all done in the browser, and it would only send data to google if you want to translate. The translation could be intercepted, but it could also (hope

Grad student, I backup my work on external hard drive, google drive and a storage the university offers(same idea like festive). Also I have some of those common files on my SSD. Maybe overkill but I’ve started doing this before using Gdriv

For a while I had a journal, and I would force myself to read the article, and write a summery of how it’s relevant to my life, how can I benefit from it, and how I might be able to apply the information. I kept this up for about a week. It

I wonder if it is possible to use machine learning to win at code golf. The fitness function seems quite obvious, but how you might get shorter code, while maintaining output is not trivial.

I don't understand how just giving a group of people more money will solve the problem. That's is an artificial way of addressing it, it's just a band aid. Let's look at the causes , and address those. I think that&#x27

I wonder how many years it will be until we can have a personal search engine, like google , running on our own server. Surely the technology will be cheap enough to do at some point. (To reach to the capability of what google is doing righ

Even the regular bookmarks I have, I barely visit them ever again. The only things I re-visit are reference websites, which I could easily find with a quick search. I really do not see why I would want to save 1000+ tabs, at that point I mi
