I also worked hard labour at the start of my career. They are not really comparable and are exhausting in a different way. Tech makes me mentally exhausted fighting things out of my control. Hard labour made me physically exhausted but I fe

Everyone always need twice as much as they have to retire. Most people will also never do it. Reading the FIRE subreddit I have realized that most people like the fantasy of retiring more than actually retiring. A lot of them wouldn't

There is surely a spectrum between small apartment with asbestos and 5m$ house. I read on HN all the time that once you have kid it is unavoidable to spend 300k$ a year. But yet 99.9% of the world and the US manages to raise kids with a fra

My bigger take here is that nothing is fine forever. We might have fun for a couple years but eventually a disruptor comes in and changes everything. This disruptor today is AI but it will be something else in 5 or 10 years. Therefore save

I have been at it for 20 years now and have started to feel my time is up as well As a lot of comments here highlights, the issue is not so much the tech but the politics, constant perf reviews, re-orgs, nonsense BS that is pushed top-down.

Google's exhuberence today is exactly the same thing as "Google is dead" from 3 years ago. The truth is somewhere in between probably.

by siren2026 5mo ago
exactly. Everyone wants to bet on Google without looking at their current price. Their current Forward PE is absolutely insane given the size of the company.

Funny how 3 years ago everyone agreed Google would never adapt to AI (I still remember all the comments here). And suddenly they should be "literally the only ones"? What changed? They came out with one leading models for 2 weeks

Enough to pretend they were back in the game. All a stock pump.

>> * Can retain the data for 90 days. Data that is evidence of a specific crime can be kept longer with the evidence file for that crime, and destroyed when the investigation is done. This gives me "minority report" vibes.

Look at what is happening in the UK where they "trust their government". You have 10k+ arrest a year for social media posts. I'm sure most people also thought the initial legal precedent was reasonable.

by siren2026 5mo ago
Nope, this is the start of what will then be "if you have nothing to hide, then don't be afraid". "Do it for the childrens" etc. This will ALWAYS lead to full tracking by slowly boiling the frog.

Why did you suddenly decide those two red lines were the important ones? The above article shows clearly they walked back and backpedalled any red lines if any other competing models release them before Anthropic, which is an opt-out for AN

Delaying mythos has been the most effective free marketing campaign you could ever imagine. "Our model is so good and dangerous we cannot release it yet" giving you free press and coverage as you prove here once again. >> th

Oh I read them. If I had to bet I follow this more closely than you do. Some redlines are still in place. Not the same ones and it is very clear based on this precedent that red lines can be moved at any times whenever it is convenient for

Imagine being gullible enough to think any of those companies would ever chose AI safety over losing their monopolies in AI. AI safety is important. My point is: you should have zero trust in those companies to actually care about AI Safety

Let me rephrase this. Anthropic played a really well orchestrated marketing gimmick so that they would be in the headlines for a couple days bringing awareness to non-tech people on how they are supposedly the good guys. They then backpedal

by siren2026 5mo ago
Exactly. This good guy ("AI Safety") versus bad guy is all marketing gimmicks. I'm old enough that it reminds me of Google "don't be evil". What I find worse is that some people actually believe Anthropic are r

No it is discrimination one way or another. DEI put its finger on the scale to favor some specific outcome so by definition this IS discrimination. You can make a point that without DEI there is also societal discrimination as well. I would

by siren2026 5mo ago
I think both can be true. I have seen teams that are 100% Indians with a manager actively pushing Indian resumes and friends/family on top. They don’t play nice and by the DEI rules like a lot of Americans do. But I have also seen amaz

At this point Cisco is a conglomerate that does everything and nothing. They own so many different verticals that even people working there don't really know what cisco fully does anymore. But I agree though, this is an artificial stoc

To profit you also need to get out at the right time. Right now everything seems so inflated. I don't believe this economy represents any of the underlying assets correctly anymore. I really think we are on the verge of one of the big

Cisco especially is absolutely full of H1Bs. As someone that has worked for them a decade ago, some of their division are >90% Indian. Those are all good engineers and not dunking on them at all but it should be unacceptable to bring ove

Only way to go is to leave a 1 star review letting them know they need to publish things outside Instagram

Citing those studies should be peak confirmation bias. So McKinsey made a study with a low risk feel good conclusion with outcomes that are completely subjective based on data that can be completely massaged and we are supposed to go all in
