I assume this is being upvoted because HN thinks this is good? At least that's what I hear in AI threads... AI just allows humans to work more efficiently right? The few fulfilment center workers left are probably now 100x fulfilment w

No way. Someone with several years of programming experience and a little domain knowledge then yes, maybe. For them to be as productive as me would take months, assuming programming knowledge and domain knowledge.

Not disagreeing with your point that economic metrics often held too highly above others, but Jamie Dimon has commented a lot on the need to tackle inequality. Even if he's doing so for ulterior reasons, I feel like this is an uncharit

They just wouldn't put you forward most of the time. Having gaps larger than 6 months here (especially if it's in the last decade) is a big red flag. I don't know why, but this has been my experience and others I've spok

Can anyone provide context for how common this is in a newly released production car? They probably should have know better, but this seems like a fairly innocent mistake to me... I thought it could be an issue with the car's computers

I'm sceptical of the claim that social media is causing teen mental illness. I've thought about this quite a bit, but never wrote my thoughts anywhere so I guess here and now is as a good time as any. I think Haidt's assertio

It's hard to say much with certainty here beyond just recognising the current path is unsustainable. Obviously the debt/GDP cannot increase indefinitely without either the government ending up bankrupt, or more likely hyperinflati

As a JS dev I'm always shocked by the amount of variance and the lack of best practices in JS codebases... Others will disagree, but I'd argue there are no real agreed on best practices like you might find in languages like Java i

This seems quite reasonable. I have quite an uncommon taste in music so I tend to listen to artists with very small followings. I know most songs I listen to only have a few thousand views in total on YouTube, so I was initially worried tha

Not necessarily disagreeing, but I believe when it was originally announced they said that the team on this project would be mostly migrated to their AI division.

AI centralises power, devalues human labour and at its limit is fundamentally uncontrollable. Personally I struggle to understand anyone who believes it's in humanities best interest to continue developing AI systems without significan

This isn't really a public/private thing. Public orgs can also do bad stuff and also try to cut costs to meet budgets. This is a failure of regulation.

For monetary policy to work it requires rate sensitive borrowers. If borrowers don't care what rates are then it's not going to have much impact. US households have fixed mortgages so most don't care what interest rates are a

I'm highly critical of the Federal reverse and I think they suppress wages in other ways, but the 2% inflation target in my opinion has no impact on wages broadly. Assets don't automatically rise in value with inflation. If you ow
