Part of it that the commenters so far missed is that to do anything about climate change will affect profits for the oil industry and cause corporations aplenty to have to come up with new manufacturing materials and processes. It also mean

Which products are you working on so I can be sure to avoid using them?

It could also help to spell nutrition correctly.

The fact that it might query a firmware update if you’re not careful to never allow it to communicate outward is enough of a risk. I don’t want my appliances querying firmware updates that might brick the unit or give engineers excuses too

As long as we don’t turn needing community into some sinister excuse to force people into X religion or be ostracized, I’m all for it.

I think there is genuine burnout. Also it makes sense that the more grizzled on HN have lived long enough to see the fruits of the labor, perhaps just tangentially, and what it has wrought. Coupled with the industry treating its workers pre

Have you read anything by Mark Fisher? He spoke about capitalism absorbing all resistance which makes it almost impossible to ever escape from. Which is what you’re saying I think. Resistance becomes the next market and works through the sa

Having seen the almost rabid and fearful reactions of product owners first hand around forcing AI into every product, it’s because all these companies are in panic mode. Many of these folks are not thinking clearly and have no idea what the

By playable do you just mean new content? It will be perfectly playable in 10 years just like all the other classic CRPGs. It would be amazing if modding in content was easy like NWN, if that’s what you mean, because it obviously isn’t. It

“Early access… usually happens just 1–2 years before release.” I had a good laugh at this. So many titles have taken money and silently failed or seem to figure they can stay in early access indefinitely. On the plus side early access seems

What the hell IEEE? I expect better from you than this fluff. “It might write a decent novel by 2030” is a pure garbage take.

That’s not a good argument. They’ve done terribly in this space so far and Waymo is far ahead of them.

I didn’t state a view. You’re talking to someone else.

Hiding what you’re talking about with no actual examples so you can spring a gotcha is just dumb, sorry. This is how the far right works generally online.

This happened while traveling with George W. Bush in office. It got old quick but it’s perfectly understandable to want to talk about.

I’ve witnessed more people having breakdowns in this wonderfully productive world our glorious tech leaders are creating from overwork than at any other time in my career. And they’re all using AI extensively and are smart people. It turns

AI generative output seems to have similar output to when you flood a creative field with capital and demand returns off a flourishing subgenre. A lot of mediocrity from trying to simulate that magic with a great lack of inspiration.

What’s interesting about this take, and I don’t disagree with the sentiment, is watching Apple get skewered by fumbling AI integration on the iPhone. That’s obviously of their own doing since they turned on their marketing machine on full b

That’s not FIRE. FIRE is keep your tech job, live very frugaly, invest, maybe make some other passive income, then actually retire. OP is rather focusing on getting out of tech to do something else but it is still going to be work. Maybe a

Well a lot of those folks got themselves trapped in a mortgage possibly with a family. I see it all the time here in the Bay. People think they’re on top of the world, buy a house, then start to have second thoughts. Then they’re trapped an

Well this is a new angle for MAGA isn’t it? Stop questioning him as he’s a stable genius with systems thinking. Nice try, but you’re going to have to own that one with a full explanation to get anywhere with it.

I’m not following. I don’t think they said anything about eliminating markets, rather halting monopolies.

It blows my mind people feeling mistreated at X FAANG company just to go to Y FAANG company and expect any better treatment. They are all the same at this point. At least the unhinged career ladder climbers on Blind aren’t kidding themselve

Ah, that’s a good use of it. Thanks for clarifying. The last place I worked at had bots reviewing bot PRs and passing them. It went about as well as you’d expect.

DnD 5e seems like it’s already on the generic rules side of things and gives DMs a lot of room for interpretation. That’s why the railgun seems silly. “I guess that’d be a persuasion or performance check, your pick”, etc.

Not exactly tabletop, but this is the issue I have with every Pathfinder build I see for Wrath of the Righteous. Everyone dips into these nonsensical combinations to get a better armor rating, etc. So then you get a Paladin that decided to

That’s just not true. I’ve been lifting heavy for many years and have had my share of injuries, sure. But they heal. My body feels great. I’m almost 50 and I have no back pain, or other pains I see people constantly complaining about that a

Wow that sounds tough to deal with. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.
