It's like showing up underdressed to a social event. Perhaps someone cool can pull it off and own it, but it's a bad idea for most people which is why it isn't the default advice.

You can ask, you probably won't get an answer and there's a decent chance that nobody ever saw your resume anyway.

By 22 people usually have some idea about what they like and what they’re good at. Or at least an idea about what they don’t like. That’s a much better signal than “HN recommends”.

My deep and REM durations are higher but my chart is full of waking up that I don't notice or remember, not sure if that's normal, or due to how fitbit measures and classifies things, or if it's a genuine sleep problem.

Yeah, even without the external factors, personal goals can get tiring year after year.

The point is exercise. You don't run to get anywhere, you run for the sake of running and the benefits it has.

I don't know how you use search but even if ChatGPT is good, it can't replace Google for me because it serves a completely different purpose. I want links and pages, and being able to browse and read multiple sources, and find up-

The results probably won't be as good. Why would this affect human knowledge and history?

I asked it to generate some PyTorch code. It looked plausible but the tensor shapes weren't compatible so the code didn't run. So basically it's already at human-level performance.

Not sure what you mean by this, "we" here means anyone who could use Google and open a Github link.

I think the question is what happens when you're able to 10x all software engineers but don't have job market demand to match the 10x increase. 90% layoffs? Maybe not 90% because these processes aren't perfectly efficient or

I'm talking to it about programming languages right now. I'm asking it to help me pick the best language for writing a key-value store. So far - it recommends Go over JavaScript - it figured out that neither Python, nor JavaScript

You aren't losing your job short-to-mid term. Long term - it's so hard to predict that it's pointless to give advice so do whatever you like.

If you're right, then I don't think that there will be a significant difference in the way different kinds of software development are affected, they'll all be automated away to the same extent. So there's no point in tr

No. Because it's not a search engine. The point of search is links, not a plausible-but-unverifiable blob of text. Let me open my last few searches from today: - checking the release data of a movie - looking up old threads about a boo

I don't know if there's a point to this but I can certainly relate.

It's not a search engine. The whole point, the thing it optimizes for, is to look plausible, not to give correct or real information.

Wouldn't it be more converging to a bad average of everything instead of being chaos?
