It's hell useful, I use Cursor several times a week (and I'm not even working as a dev full time rn), and ChatGPT is my daily driver. Yet, it's weird to me that we're 3 years into this "revolution" and I can&#x

Yep, but instead of that we're wasting land, energy and resources in data centers that run "you are not the father" memes based on Sora 2.

Wisdom and experience then? Not sure if what I focus when looking for a doctor or a lawyer is passing a prerequisite exam for doing their jobs.

Only if you are an expert who wants to use time debugging LLM code rather than coding it yourself. PS: Half-joking, you can write some big portions with LLMs but the point stands.

You are probably going to be downvoted this, and with some justification even (i.e. implying something about visitors). Anyways, this is old and the original post didn't get much attention anyways: https://news.ycombinator.c

Shhh, big tech needs a new dragon to chase iff GenAI stops being shiny. Non-cynic take: exploration-based endeavors still may end up in useful developments.

Yep, but the dotcom burst was still was a burst. Ex post success does not matter in that analysis, and in fact, I'm arguing that the dotcom burst was instrumental for companies like Facebook, Youtube and Google to develop as they did.

People just want to feel special pointing a possibility, so in case it happens, they can then point towards their "insight".

Yeah, sure, but we were talking about giving the person meth, not amphetamines or lisdexamphetamine.

by mrbungie 1y ago
Desoxyn is meth, they could eventually prescribe it if there was any evidence of therapeutic value in doing so.

by mrbungie 1y ago
I thought we were talking about outcomes, not opinions. Are those other humans doctors? Is there the clinical research or guidelines to backup giving meth to a person in withdrawal syndrome?

Yes, afaik BPD is the only Cluster B diagnosis with documented remission rates, when using a mix of therapies that normally are based around DBT. Not sure what you refer about "talk therapy" in this case (psychoanalysis, maybe?),

The point isn't whether the word narcolepsy appears (I only mentioned it due to the "closing eyes" phrase), restarting doses of meth is not warranted in almost no context except a life-or-death withdrawal episode (i.e. like a

> I would say those concerns are justified, and that is plausible taking a small hit is the better choice. Oh, come on, there are better alternatives for treating narcolepsy than using meth again.
143.
by mrbungie 1y ago
Nope, that's not right. BPD can't be treated with CBT (comorbidities may be, with caveats if BPD is the root cause), you probably will also need at least DBT.

As a videogamer I hope Digital Foundry survives this, because they give lots of data-based insights about the industry, especially from a tech perspective. And as a follower and fan of their videos, I must add that these guys seem smart eno

Not to invoke a true scotsman fallacy, but most knowledge/white-collar workers I know aspire to be more than just being a cog on a payroll.

Me too, sometimes it feels so cathartic that I feel like when Bob Ross shook up his paintbrush violently on his easel (only with a lot more swearing). Let's hope there is no basilisk.

Yep, sometimes Gemini for some reason ends up in what I call "ergodic self-flagellation". Here are some examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/GeminiAI/comments/1lxqbxa/i_am_actu...
