I don’t understand the reasoning to have children if you don’t want to spend time with them and rather would pay someone to do that for you (not addressing directly at you). Being able to spend time with your child is a gift which passes by

Escape from home is healthy. But not when you are escaping into the office. It’s healthy to escape for a hike, for groceries, to take a walk, go to the gym, etc.

Correlation is not causation. A huge part of this high birth rate is that in these poor countries people leave in rural areas, farming or doing similar work, this essentially “working from home”. They can have many children because they sta

In Europe post-pandemic rush back to the offices revealed more than anything that the Green Deal has actually been just the greenwashing. Bureaucrats just sat there not even once mentioning that WFH was actually a great opportunity to fight

Not necessarily. We happily moved away to suburbs because we grew tired of the city noise and chaos. The child can stay outside, we have a proper backyard, there are barely any cars in the street. It was much more affordable but was a side

Good one, honestly didn't think about it. But visual or other kind of human-accessible captchas can be solved by bots. My suggested PoW would be computational.

Maybe some proof-of-work scheme where uploading content would require the uploader to solve a cryptographic puzzle, hence reducing overall number of posts? The PoW difficulty should somehow be correlated to economics where it wouldn't

Corporations really have too much money to throw away at crap like this. It would be better collected in taxes and spent on public utilities.

I have a hope that many of today's engineers working at various companies will start realizing that instead of employers receiving tools to get them laid off, it is they, the engineers, who received the tools to compete with said emplo

I have this thought experiment. If my employer suggested to pay me 5 year's worth of salary if I could successfully replace myself with an AI. I would be pretty happy to take the money and run. However, I don't see any realistic w

Are we automatically discarding everything that might or might not have been written or assisted by an LLM? I get it when the articles are the type of meaningless self improvement or similar kind of word soup. However, if hypothetically an

I disagree. I think it's a nice discovery many might be unaware of and later spend a lot of time on tracking down the performance issue independently. I also disagree that a rigorous benchmark is needed for every single performance-rel

I opened LinkedIn today (out of habit) and the first post was someone explaining how much Slack costs and that with AI every company can build their own Slack for $100. So that person decided to build an open source Slack clone using Claude

Yeah, the narratives diverge. He said "i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now." So, if these tools actually deliver this 90% productivity im

ChatGPT has a good name. It's weird and awkward but it still rolls off the tongue. And I am saying that as a non native English speaker because the name has been migrated to other languages with the English pronunciation. In comparison

I have personally experienced while using Claude Code with the "reasoning" models that they are very limited in dealing with causal chains that are more than one level deep, unless specifically prompted to do so. Sometimes they do

I feel that you didn't read my comment carefully enough (although I could have been more clear). To me university was really good and eye-opening but looking back, I had no place in academia. A good college would have been better. Cons

I didn't mean that at all. I am a regular developer who got into this field at a lucky time and am as worried about the future employment prospects as many are.

In most of the world the past decades there has been no thought behind who should get university education. It has been given that after high school you should aim for university. I have studied software engineering in the most prestigious

Not sure about ChatGPT but Claude does that. You can see what it keeps in the memory, edit the memory to your liking and it also kind of constantly evolves.

Many of the comments here resemble Reddit, disappointingly. I read HN due to market insights, analysis, interesting perspectives. I am sorry for digression.

It's different this time because the build-up since the last recession (excluding pandemic which didn't cause real recession but instead added more coal to the fire) has been the longest in history by far. Unless economists learne

Your quoted excerpt implies that CLAUDE.md had this information. Having used Claude Code more than enough I have faced so many issues like the blog's author that I could have written a very similar post (I am not an FE dev though).

Glad to learn this! I didn't know about it but I also double-checked the UI and it says in a warning dialog that the third party will be able to see everything I type and the network setting isn't mentioned there. Anyway, my point
