Yes, I'm not sure it was clear, but that was largely my point – to say it's "worthwhile" as a flat statement probably doesn't capture the nuance. It's obviously going to be worthwhile in some sense as almost al

It's funny because I read the parent comment and thought that was actually kinda cool. Lots of things we do are really stupid from a purely productivity, health or safety perspective. American's were probably wrong to oppose alcoh

This is an interesting take. Especially these days when AI reviews are fairly decent and arguably comparable to, if not better than, most human reviews in most ways. I did this on a small microservice for a project recently where risk was c

Why though? I guess I never understood this perspective because it's such an unproductive use of a developers or product person's time to be doing QA. I guess everyone will use/test the product to some degree, but if you&#x27

I don't use bluesky, but out of interest is this "intolerance" filter effectively a political filter, or an actual "intolerance" filter? Like if someone is talking about "white fragility" and being intoler

Yeah, even before Neo, since M1, I've been urging people to buy a Macbook Air if they could afford to.. Or consider buying second hand if new is out of their price range. Budget Windows hardware is trash and the OS is so full of bloat

We're been doing this for years in the UK. Not just at airports either, but the police actively surveil social media and arrest people for anything that might be considered remotely offensive.

Everyone has their own corny. Problem with the Cybertruck is that it's corny in a single cyberpunk kind of way which doesn't appeal to many people. Some of the designs are corny but in a way I find quite appealing. The Moon Duster

That caught me off guard too – is that the intention, or the actual verifiable outcome? Potentially if there are failing tests of known bugs in pylint then Fable could have tried to reproduce those bugs in prylint, but that doesn't nec

$60b is genuinely insane. Very high from a P/S ratio perspective, and for a product with arguably no defensible moat. Congrats to the Cursor team though... One of the most crazy exit stories ever – 4 years to a $60b buyout. Damn.

He's always talking about how dangerous AI is, how the models he's building could be used for cyber attacks, and how if his company is successful then at least 50% of the white-collar workforce will lose their jobs. Doesn't s

But why do you feel we should tolerate and import far-right foreign ideologies under some notion of "competition of opinions and ideologies"? I guess I don't understand why I should want that? Your analogy about native-born A

You sue bad employees? Most companies just hire someone else? In the future if you can't trust your AI system to perform a function well, you can switch to another. The accountability will be different – instead of an employee being ac

We used to worry about emergent misalignment in advanced AI models, now we need to worry about misalignment by design. "The user is asking for help with their ML project, but it's success is not in the commercial interests of my o

Not buying it. The idea that deciding and delivering are things only humans can do with their intelligence seems faulty. As it stands AIs today are not always great at making decisions (but they're getting much better), and orgs of tod

> AI does not do it better. It just does it faster. Untrue for the majority of engineers, and almost all with less than a decade experience. The AIs will only get better from here too.

If you genuinely enjoy building, then I think you should just focus on building and not worry about the code. If you can get the results you want without caring, then just do that. Anything you learn that has any value (which is very little

I was obsessed with creating tech startups in my bedroom before I even knew what the term "startup" meant. I was showing a friend a hosting service I built and he told me to check out Hacker News. This must have been around 2009.
