Yeah but everything else on their site screams LLM-slop. It's not unique or special, it's literally the same cookie cutter startup design of the last 15 years.

Management nowadays are for sure playing with surveillance software against their workers. Let's please not think otherwise, it's one of the main value adds that LLM companies are selling to businesses; about the ease of which you

Why? People care about their craft and people care about what they interact with the world. The vast majority of people don't like using poorly made things, especially when it is forced upon them against their will.

They're a VC backed company, they aren't building for the user at all. The VC is their user. Just need to see reality for how it is in the tech industry, products aren't made for users anymore they're mostly a ritual to

You would like the book "Dawn of Everything" by David Graeber. It does a lot to talk about modern anthropological studies that corrected a lot of misconceptions about early humans. Really fascinating book, basically postulates tha

Why did you think it was appropriate to nag the hiring manager while you finished a MOOC?

You don't need historians to see the crisis as it was happening and as it's ongoing, the only question we need to ask is how long should the people held accountable be in prison for? For abusing democratic offices the penalty shou

It's okay, when enough terrible decisions impact a company they tend to do really poorly thought out layoffs so you'll be in the blast radius sooner or later. Too bad there's no real accountability.

That's pretty cool and worthy endeavor. Having public domain pictures of cultural events seems like a worthy cause IMO.

Okay nice, after looking at the macroview look at the immediate impact into local communities and how much data these companies refuse to, rightfully I might add, share with the public. Weird how all these concerns can simply go away if the

That's not what is being purported, you're doing a complete misdirect. OpenAI wants to IPO so Altman can potentially capture a trillion dollar bag, with so much money on the line + betting US foreign policy on it as well (pax sili

Sorry but software development is more important that what some tech bro at a malware company thinks. I'm not confused at all. This is the culture of SV and it is the culture that VC wants: when they don't get their way they compl

Anyone that is against American big tech immediately makes me sympathetic to their side. They'd have to do a lot wrong to destroy such good will.

That we should act like "self made men" when in reality it took entire multiple lifetimes worth of effort where people in power were finally allowed to create a society where a common trades worker could enjoy an upper middle clas

I'm sorry but purposely ignoring standards that were decided upon by multiple parties is always a shithead move. It shows that you don't actually care about community standards and just want to thrust what you believe down everyon

I disagree. There are millions of local activists that are improving the immediate lives of their communities in real impactful ways that never see the light of day. Starting after school programs or setting up mutual aid stations or commun

So you're upset about something that hasn't happened yet?

As opposed to closed source American models where the federal government threatens your livelihood unless you build data centers to extend pax silica?

It's a copy of cyberpunk 2077 aesthetic (which if you search on google you'll see many css + component libraries trying to recreate it).

Always felt like the worst aspect of code pen was the exploratory side. Looking up codepens is extremely poor, you often only look up one "tag" and after the first page quality gets worse. Wish it had an advanced search that I can

FYI there is no academic rigor to "Jevon's Paradox" and makes a lot of wrong assumptions but it's cute when a billionaire finds a new term to use to excuse their poor behavior.

No traditional research is mostly done by post-docs and have a phd level of education rather than a tech bro that passed leetcode. That seems like a good bar to have; not too mention the whole peer review thing, hard to really understand an

Never been in an office where there wasn't some solidarity amongst workers and not the owners. I can't imagine how alienating it must be to work somewhere you feel you can't trust anyone except yourself, sounds like a self ma

Well the purpose of the tool is to automate more specialized labor so any knowledge that could benefit the worker has to be downplayed or stigmatized.

I'll be honest I have never heard of this nor do I understand why it matters. It looks like it's just internal Vercel marketing speak that basically amounts to them desperately trying to build a platform and extract rents off of i
