How is that weird? If American's can't compete with the wage expectations of foreign workers then they're not going to be hired. If US workers can't compete then vote for less immigration. It's not the corporates or

Fat is good if you eat the right kinds of fats and your consumption of unhealthy fat is limited. The issue is more that people eat too much fatty food, a specifically unhealthy fats. On the other hand sugar is probably never good for you an

You shouldn't trust the messengers of "the science", however the science speaks for it's self. I got really into reading about nutritional science a few years ago and there's a surprising amount of stuff which peopl

This is like going to a bar then getting mad because the bar owner really wants everyone to consume excessive amounts of overpriced alcohol. Meanwhile there are people are going to the bar having a decent time and meeting interesting people

Are you saying this from experience? We have a large monorepo at my company. You're right that for adding entirely new core concepts to an existing codebase we wouldn't give an AI some vague requirements and ask it to build someth

I know this is a deeply unpopular opinion, but I don't get humans sometimes. Why does this need regulating? Am I the only person who just doesn't use services which do this? This is so obviously a free-market problem. The reason t

It's been interesting watching HN shift in my direction on this in recent weeks... I had been saying since around summer of this year that coding agents were getting extremely good. The base model improvements were ok, but the agentic

Trump is the elected leader of the US though. There's a huge difference there. For example, if Trump doesn't step down in 2028 then we should hope someone does take him out.

That's good to hear. As a European, I do hope our leaders keep this in mind... It may be an unconventional move, but it's hard to argue this is a bad outcome. I get the concern about forever wars some are raising, but this clearly

As a millennial I think I was probably in the first generation who first started buying vinyl not because we had record players, or preferred the sound of vinyl (although some claimed to), but because when most of us came of age during the

As a Brit I find Germans so strange sometimes. I visited the Dachau concentration camp several years ago on one of the hottest days of the year. Me and my GF packed water, but on that day is just wasn't enough and we ran out towards th

To play devil's advocate for a moment, could this not be a risk? Is Google implementing a rule which blockes any 3rd party app which wants access to things like the keystore (which could be reasonable), or are they deliberately blockin

Agreed. There's no way someone can vibe code production-quality code today... Interestingly as AI models are becoming "more competent" I'm finding more and more issues with AI generated code in the project I work on... W

I'm kinda surprised at how many people I know who have gotten VPNs as a result. Just a couple of weeks ago I was talking with a 12 year old in my family and he was showing me the free VPN apps him and his friends are using to get aroun

I think people throw these accusations around way too broadly. There is a small subset of weirdos who think the Covid/mRNA vaccines contain microchips or were designed kill off some percentage of the population. But I think there'

> They have blameless post mortems, but maybe "We actually do make mistakes so this practice is not good" wasn't a lesson anybody wanted to hear. Or they could say, "we want to continue to prioritise speed of security

This is so incompetent. Given the market significance of the report it's damn obvious that this would happen. They should have assumed that security via obscurity was simply not enough, and the OBR should have been taking active steps

It seems to me by most classical definitions we've basically already reached AGI. If I were to show Gemini 3 Pro to anyone in tech 10 years ago they would probably say Gemini 3 is an AGI, even if they acknowledged there was some limita

That was my initial assumption about how they're collecting the location data too. However I find if I switch to a different browser it will rarely mention my location, so it could be finger printing and pulling in info from previous d

Why is OpenAI lying about the data its collecting on users?

Self-awareness is so much more important than IQ for real-world success in my opinion. IQ tests measure an individuals personal intellect, but in the real world what matters is how we're able to pair our mental capacity with that of ot

> Swarms of these, acting in concert or with some hive mind, could be how we get to AGI. There's absolutely no reason to think this. In fact, all of the evidence we have to this point suggests that scaling intelligence horizontally

I like it about the same. Maybe a tad more because some people I like are no longer banned or feel the need to censor. I'm weird though. I like 4chan and find most social media today is too intolerant and authoritarian for my tastes.

Always ask for more and always try to sell it as a win-win thing to keep you motivated and untempted by "less interesting roles" which pay more. Always ask how often the company does salary reviews. They'll not want to say &q

I've had this experience with going from PHP and JS to typed languages. Many years ago I was a type sceptic, but after being forced to use them, I now can't stand not having strict typing. I'm sure others have written about t

The whole point of AI is that you don't need to be the best at anything... You outsource knowledge to AI. AI is an automation tool for knowledge work, you can't secure your career by moving into another form of knowledge work – es

First thing to ask is whether you even need a reactive UX/UI. If you don't then just don't use a JS framework. Pick a decent BE framework and build a solid static site. Static sites can be done really well. I think gov.uk and
