I mean, the model is intended to help the user, not fight against the user trying to break it. IMO, it is reasonable for such model to default on making assumptions and going forward as long as the assumptions are clearly stated.

Who kicked out whom? I might be missing some context here, to me it were tech bosses who turned to Trump after he won or after it was clear he was about to win.

Mechanical Turk was for humans to rent a human, which is not a new idea

Is there any good explanation for what is happening with gold prices long-term? If you look at 5-10 year charts it was pretty stable and started to look like NVIDIA stocks since 2023.

That's the problem with state investments in software. One can rightfully complain about misallocation of capital by private investors, but state investments are a whole new level.

Anecdotally, I didn't see more safety for engineers working on cash cows. Quite the contrary, if a product is already bringing revenue, it is an easy decision for the business to squeeze a bit more margin by letting people go. Stable,

I can't imagine Donald Trump would harm the US on purpose.

How do you punish them? Have ICE raid their offices? There is already a significant tax benefit for hiring developers domestically.

It was, at least it worked for Europe, but Trump has seemingly managed to ruin that too.

Very related IMO. Even before Trump US workforce was expensive, now limit the influx of new workforce and hiring abroad looks like a logical decision

It was pretty obvious what is going to follow axing of H1B

by oytis 9mo ago
That it's not getting cheaper?

EU would be stupid to miss the opportunity after US crackdown on H1B.

You can only replace someone who was useful. If one is useless, but is still there, it means they are not there for their contribution and you can't replace them by automating whatever it might have been.

So far I have been able to trade some efficiency for more control in my professional life. All of my tooling is open-source and local. I hope I can get away with it this time as well though sure some adjustment will be needed

So how did Venice maintain its dominance?
352.
by oytis 9mo ago
Absolutely. I'm gonna go full agentic coding the day I can do it with open-weight models on my machine. Until then feeding someone else's models with more data on how to replace me in particular sounds insane to me.

First of all, US is at the edge of a dictatorship. If US falls completely, Europe will likely too, but untangling ourselves from US is an attempt to prevent that.

All of the Arab countries have basically seceded from Ottoman empire under an occupation of this or that European country. "Unilaterally" is not easy to define. Sometimes there is a long and violent struggle for independence and t

by oytis 9mo ago
It's hardly a precedent, probably half of the countries worldwide have been formed by seceding from some other country against its will. U.S. would be in this half.

That's like an anti-cartel, a cartel that keeps the consumer prices low. With 12 euro/kg currently I wouldn't call beef in Germany extremely cheap on the world scale. Poultry has pretty much crossed the 10 euro mark too.
