Hmm, I would say comparing Hacker News to DoorDash is not exactly apples to apples. There may also be ulterior motives to make a website slow(or at least not optimized) if the company wants to funnel people towards an app on the phone.

This seems more of a process problem than a tooling problem. Without specs on what the feature was, I would be inclined to say you manager had a lapse in his "smartness", there was a lot of miscommunication on what was happening,

The irony of you talking about natural language is that hardly anyone would understand what you just said. I would pin it as AI slop but I guess that wouldn't be right of me to assume.

Abstraction has always been a part of programming. Are you going to deride someone for not remembering how to write a sorting algorithm from scratch when .sort() is available? This is just another instance of that, trivial as it may be. The

Why not just compare the incidence of sickness at the swimming event vs other triathlon swimming events and see if 2(or whatever the number of competitors affected was) is abnormal and work from there?

Ah yes, the classic “because it can” argument. I’ll take that to mean you don’t know what you’re talking about.

What is the basis for it having a reasonable understanding of fluid dynamics? Why don’t you think it’s just regurgitating some water scenes derived from its training data, rather than generating actual fluid dynamics?

I think this is assuming that the model doesn't get better through additional training or feedback, but it seems to me that reward/punishment is actually what drives better prediction over the medium/long run. Right now we ar

Surely Amazon would implement redundancy where an AI from a different region to the one that is down would take over. Not sure I follow why "blaming" someone is necessary to move forward with recovering from a failure. In most w

People of all shapes, sizes, and economic levels…not sure what your point is?

Okay…I usually have the desire to eat cake, I don’t have it for every meal though.

The whole comment is a bit non-sensical, so I am not sure how to respond. If you are not from the US, you should know that social security is not an option, it is a mandatory program. Things like 401k plans are tax incentivized, and as we k

Many still have the desire, but today have the choice to walk away from that desire in order to pursue a career, or to just live life in a different way. Some also have the desire but have trouble conceiving, or don't have the means to

Fair point, this was a blind spot for me!

This just isn't true. How many children my neighbor has impacts my social security payments or other retirement disbursements in no tangible way. It certainly doesn't impact my 401k or other retirement savings unless you are linki

200 years ago the average life expectancy was 30, no one was having children to "future proof" their life. Quality of life today is much higher than it was 200 years ago as well. While the cost of having children is undoubtedly go

I would argue the opposite, that LLMs are not good at creating novel scenarios which span multiple domains, or sub-domains. That is where creativity plays an important part. Of course an LLM will spit out something that might look like a vi

JFK didn't write his own speeches either for the most part, he was still a heck of an orator.

While your last point is certainly an ideal to aspire to, something tells me that the powers that be would not actually want to get rid of booms and busts, because ultimately that is where a lot of the “wealth” for those high up is created.

Eh, I technically pay 0 in delivery fees due to uber one or whatever but the fees somehow pile up anyways…the menu price of an item somehow doubles or triples I kid you not by the time I check out.

Not sure about price comparisons but what I can say is that many experiences feel worse. Paying 50-60$ for 3 tacos to be delivered, going out to basically any restaurant, pricing models on almost any subscription service(Adobe good exampl

It may be true for all good managers and leaders but alas that is not the world we live in. Effectively leading a team to some people means walking behind them with a switch and cracking them every time they make a mistake. Managers

I think there is always going to be a middle ground. We are not robots and if the people I work with are a pleasure to be around and work with, there is a natural connection there that can be labeled "emotional" I guess, but it is

Oh totally! I don't have that perspective from the manager as I am very much an IC, and I have 0 experience job hopping as well as I have basically been with the same company for most of my career. I would say, naively, that part of th

I definitely feel that first part. I landed in a nice company in SF about 8 years ago and am still here. The culture has changed a lot but I often find myself doubting whether I could repeat the whole thing or if I got lucky. (The work is f

This is ultimately what some of the risk comes down to: you invest time(a decade is a long time!) into creating meaningful relationships at work and one day you come in to have your key card de-activated and some corporate speak as to why.

Its interesting because the last 5 years in the US have seen a dramatic appreciation in housing prices, and also a seeming rise of risk of catastrophic events, and insurance companies are grappling with these 2 things. Ultimately maybe diff

Its entertainment, needing it is not the point at all, for the company it is mostly about trying to keep the money machine going. The Lion King net income was 580 MILLION. Maybe you don't need it, but Disney sure as heck enjoyed that

I don't really understand where Zillow even factors into your assessment here, but maybe that is part of the problem. If people are looking for close knit communities on Zillow, that is a massive mistake. Tight and close knit communiti
