The idea that opinionated design is intended to court controversy or criticism is, itself, very cynical. The corollary to that is that all design should be vanilla to make it as unobjectionable to the widest audience possible. Design and co

Hiring salesmen to talk to other salesmen is always the sleaziest part of doing anything productive. You could say the same thing about opening a restaurant.

This made me laugh. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in. Most people who drive cars have no idea how they work, or how to fix them. And people who get on airplanes aren't able to flap their arms and fly. Which means that humans

The problem with HN isn't that the patterns are hard to discern, it's that no one wants to acknowledge them.

Idk, it's fun. 20 years ago I made a cubic neural model in Flash that actually lit up cubes depending on how much they were being accessed. This was a case of binding logic way too tightly to display code, but it was a cool experiment.

At a societal level [if that's what we should be worried about], it's not what percentage of results are slop. It's what percentage of people believe the slop. Arguably, that seems to be decreasing proportionally. What I mean

I can relate to this... I've been supporting myself for 30 years building apps and websites by the hour, for hourly wages, while working on my own years and years long projects on the side which make no money. I count 8 of them which t

Sometimes it just accomplishes paying your rent so you can do your life's work on the side. You can have a life of the mind at work, or you can have a mindless job and have your life of mind in your off hours. It's almost impossib

What's wrong with working in construction? I worked restaurants and bars and taxis throughout my 20s, but my best friend worked construction. He's an amazing writer and the lead singer for the band I was in. He didn't hate hi

My personal guess is that only 10% of people love their work, and don't object to doing more of it - governmental or private sector. But the efficacy of those people is amplified in the private sector and nullified in government. Sourc

Hahahaa ... I kinda love this, along with humans who can sit at a piano and play a song they've only heard once, or cook a complicated dish they only tasted once. That seems like the great Turing test... zero-shot humans. But seriously

I appreciate the optimism, and it's definitely worth noting that this isn't the first or last time that the intellectual elite had freaked out about the lowering of standards for the garbage the proles are imbibing. But the hinge

Huh. Is this kind of manifold something that a group of humans can now identify on sight and associate with a part of a DNA sequence? That's pretty spectacular. I have a friend who worked for years on AlphaFold, but wasn't aware t

Normally, I'd never attribute to intention what can be blamed on incompetence. Especially if the government is doing it. But sure, if I were the intern tasked with this job...

Or you should realize that it's called work because it's not fun and you can still enjoy and appreciate it. You think only people with rare amazing unicorn jobs enjoy work? Go drive a cab. Bartend. Work long hours for a startu

Value is subjective. Ownership is not. You're attempting to perform a sleight of hand by conflating the two. It doesn't matter whether you personally find some creative material to be worthless, or you personally think someone doe

Transporting a minor for sex is illegal, regardless of whether they are considered of age in the jurisdiction they're being taken to. But besides that, you're saying he ran a blackmail operation, which seems likely. If the girls h

The point of this user's sole comment on HN is to imply that Israel is nefarious and that anyome working with Israel may be targeted for assassination (regardless that there's no indication this person was). I don't think th

So has America. But the definition of poverty is not absolute positioned, to borrow a CSS analogy. Poverty gets defined relative to wealth. Overall, this is a good thing. But knowing that your poverty is rich compared to the poverty of two

I don't think this is the strongest argument. Every technological revolution so far has initially benefited the wealthy and taken a generation or two for its effects to lift the masses out of previous levels of poverty, but ultimately

You can easily argue that most of the things that are banned for minors but not for adults are also harmful or at least dangerous for adults as well. Alcohol, pot, tobacco, pornography, stripping or acting in pornography, gun purchases, etc
