> Based on that logic, layoffs should sometimes cause the stock of a company to go down, if the shareholders think those employees contributed more value than the company saves by laying them off. You are treating short-term stock market

How quickly does the industry move? Would there be any value in a 2006-era instruction set? How would you even start making sure you didn’t infringe on any patents that came after 2006?

> The only argument I've ever seen for RISC-V that's vaguely logical is that there's no licensing to Arm involved, but since I can get M0/M3 devices for a dollar or so with infinite tool and library support that'

LLMs will take shortcuts and cheat in ways that a human would realize are counterproductive.

“Make it the customers problem” always works. These days it feels like LLMs are trained to do the same.

Of course. Doesn’t mean we should leave the root password written down on a post-it next to the hardware. It sounds strange that such a privileged port has no authentication.

> 100% guaranteed uptime Disagree there but I think this is an interesting idea. We would need to find some more cost-efficient hardware to run it on than Nvidia GPUs.

I spend all day reading AI generated text in one form or other in my day job. When I come to unwind in HN I’m not interested of more of the same. Seeing “load-bearing”, “landing things”, “it’s not x, it’s y” makes me think of work. I honest

My company got rid of line management. I now report to a director with over 20 reports and barely any time for career development. Our performance reviews are AI generated and we’re losing engineers. The industry has gone completely insane.

I don’t have ADHD and also focus on 1 or 2 tabs, usually one is focused on the coding task I’m doing and the other on some research I need for planning future work. People who keep dozens of agent plates spinning all the time must have a br

If you spend your time on the wrong things you could spend 90 hours per week hurting your company producing negative value. The age old problem of prioritization doesn’t go away just because the org starts throwing millions at Anthropic.

Using climate-destroying AI to understand the overly convoluted tax regime in the US is peak capitalism.

If you can’t do it cheaper on your own hardware it does make you wonder how much of the cost of inference those large LLM providers are eating? Datacenter hardware isn’t magic.

The iOS app is hot garbage as well. The list of old chats will have topics randomly jumping around which makes it really annoying to try to choose the scheduled task that notified you.

I think the EU should be reformed in a more democratic direction, no question about that. Still, calling the system undemocratic is a stretch since anyone who pays attention can see how EU policies have shifted after the far right increased

Yes, all the technologies of the future demand a huge increase in energy generation that fossil fuels can’t satisfy. In the long run (decades) the US won’t be able to stay in the game with this kind of anti-scientific policies.
