Pretty much anyone that I’ve talked to that somewhat works in AI industry, the attitude is “let it rip right now, and deal with the consequences as it’s going to happen one way or another”. I’m not sure where I stand on this issue, but the

I generally understand this sentiment as a couple of my best friends work in theatre industry, although I have no inclination towards anything related to arts. That being said, you don’t need mass market to get second order effects. Especia

Yup, I think all three are posting about 500M/quarter profits on average for the past year or so. Might be wrong though, I don’t really keep up with all of them.

For every Theranos and WeWork, there’s Uber, Coinbase, AirBnb. I know they didn’t raise as much as OpenAI, but it wasn’t insignificant amount of money burning before they became profitable with large market caps. It’s very strange times we’

The question is, what'll come first - AI agents that will replace white collar jobs, so you don't even need the employees or companies not trusting WFH employees, thus bringing everyone back to in person?

Yeah, it’s the same in Vancouver. That being said, they removed yearly increase cap in Toronto in all the new builds since 2018, and it’s still about the same price as here. Or in Calgary where they don’t have it at all, and from what I’ve

I'm curious, have you tried to use it on a week-long project? It's really not just copy pasting through GH, once you figure out the workflow. I consider myself an okayishly experienced dev (10+ years, if it even matters), and for

It, undeniably, makes prototyping incredibly fast. I’ve been forcing myself to use Cursor for the past month, and could create a fairly functional web app, given my skills aren’t front end dev. Very sweet for one off deterministic python sc

Not sure about most of the people, but for me it's the high. I kinda get the same high from long walks (20km+) though, and since I don't really enjoy running, that's my gateway to achieve the same result. On an average day wh

I’m a bit surprised with the reaction in the comments section. My genuine belief, and beliefs of what I assume the bubbles I’m part of, LLMs are not detectable by any means. And I assumed the problem is, the less technical people have not b

Yeah, anyone who has ran a website, or even better, worked at a high-traffic user generated content company has experienced the lurker/creator ratio. Even if you discount 90% of it as bots, it's still insanely high. 8 billion peop

Comment sections of social media get a substantial amount of reads without much interaction. We might not be the target audience, but looking around, quite a lot of people consume the text-media without putting too much thought into it.

Counterpoint - confirmation bias. If you make the LLMs respond with specific tones, mix in some casual grammar mistakes, I don’t think you can distinguish it.

Yeah, I never got the perspective of the people who said otherwise. It's wild how throughout my life I've met people who put 50% of the entire population into "can't be friends with them" group. Maybe I'm just

It's not English-speaking community specific. In every language I can speak, I can think of an equivalent of MrBeast for that area. Maybe a majority portion of the entire world's population actually enjoys that kind of content. No

But it works? We only have functional public transit in small amount of cities in NA as well. If we can scale it up, it might be a game changer. I’m as pro-transit as it gets, but unfortunately we don’t have political appetite for it.

That’s 15 years. Why not for another 15 years? I mean eventually things might crash, but as the saying goes, “economists have predicted 9 out of last 5 recessions”.

Eh, half of my family is in the US, and I honestly think it’s not much worse here other than buying a house. That being said, it really sucks for new grads and younger people.

Honestly, it’s just not a common knowledge. I still can shock people by telling there are practically free versions of Clearview-like services online. Like finding people in random pictures by doing a reverse image search.

Yeah, but then Claude 3.5 Sonnet came out, so they took the lead. Tangentially speaking, having no skin in this game, it's extremely fun to watch the model-wars. I kinda wish I started dabbling in that area, rather than being mostly an

Facebook has insane pull. Sometimes I forget about it, but it is used by majority of every single demographic base once you consider different portions of the FB app (markets, groups, messenger), Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads (don’t think

Financially incentivized accounts (dare I say, creators) accelerated rage bait and view farming. It always existed before, but it’s genuinely baffling how worse every algo-feed has gotten in the last 6 years. Even worse is the realization t

Well, also cities are fun for younger people. Anyone that I know who lives in a city can move out if they want to, but quality of life would drop dramatically.

I agree in some sense, but spirit of the law also creates very uneven playground and leaves a lot of questions. The way I see the problem, it takes way too long for us to legislate anything. By the time something passes different levels of

This is exactly it! I'm sure I do a lot of things slower than others as well, and simply never came across an "alternative, but faster" method.

Hm, if you mean software design patterns, then not exactly. It's probably harder to detect in just coding world, but the easiest one I can think of in our realm "checking current CPU usage of X service". In my current company

I had this realization that, sometimes, people on my team are doing the same tasks in different ways, resulting each of them taking different amount of time. In certain scenarios, there is an optimal way of doing things, and I don't ev

Most of the code my friends and I write, isn't original. And it's not just people who make $50K/year. Obviously LLM-assisted code writing is still in its infancy, but it has made a lot of mundane things a breeze already. It s

I’m actually excited to see these projects come into fruition. If USA can pull it off, and become competitive in global markets, it’ll a proof that we can still build big projects when we want to. If things go sideways with nothing coming o

I completely agree. It’s a fairly bad take whenever people say “you can do both”, because it really doesn’t work that way. Like theoretically you could, but chances are, one will negatively affect the other part. My sister, in her late 30s
