In this episode of how economists lie to us all…

People love making excuses for this stock. It’s a meme stock. It makes no sense and it never will.

And yet the stock won’t drop and financial news is reporting it as “deliveries dropped less than feared.” There are no adults left in the world.

Sounds like you have an axe to grind.

Isn’t this the same argument that America should kick out non American students and would be researchers from American universities? Either way it’s protectionist. Basically what Trump supports but in France.

At least it beats being attacked by your government daily for having the audacity to become a scientist. Especially if you publish science that isn’t politically convenient.

“Sounds pretty great“ isn’t getting us any further on this.

Wait. You don’t review code any longer? Are you sure that’s wise? Or is that not what you mean?

They’ve basically created the ultimate “process oriented” solution to that problem.

When it works for unit tests I love it. Every once in a while it’d just work and save me time. Unfortunately a vast majority of the time I could never let it just write them and not rework them because I’ve never seen an LLM know how to wri

This era of forced AI features is so infuriating. Emotional anxiety ridden greedy investors are running around trying to design all our products for us. There is a great lack of critical thought and actual purposeful design due to all this

Is this the AI investor version of avocado toast?

Ah yes, the AGI that will happen any day now but we can’t even define. Please buy the stock.

I would say most technical interviewers cheat as they ask questions they themselves couldn’t solve on the spot.

So many on here keep saying stuff like this but it seems to just ignore any theory of learning. “Just make it harder”. Sure, any examples of how that’d work? “Quantum physics.” OK then, problem solved. That isn’t really explaining anything

Has there been ANY provable positive economic impact not related to startups and companies accumulating cash from VCs? I see AI (not LLMs) helping a lot in the sciences which I’m excited about, but that’s not even what the focus is for Wall

It gets heavily criticized, I’ve done it plenty, and I don’t get heavily downvoted when I do. There are posts all the time about people being fed up with the industry in its current state. It is odd this one is being targeted.

Good for you. But I’ve seen the psychological damage this current environment is doing to folks and it just excuses it away in some illusory realist stance. So maybe don’t speak for everyone like they’re failing for being human.

This reminds me of the guy that told me he didn’t need to travel anywhere because the internet exists and people already write about it and leave pictures. This was in the 90s. Not the same obviously. And I agree that crowds can be super an

People do care whether they realize it or not. They will always care. They have to if they consume any creative media at all. Our government and economic system on the other hand might not care to offer any encouragement other than “good lu

They really get you with those headlines don’t they? “Google arguably makes Gemini scraping and control confusing to turn off” isn’t quite the same.

by spacemadness 1y ago
Yeah I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted so heavily. I don’t fully agree but you’re not trolling in any sense.
113.
by spacemadness 1y ago
You can tell who is trying to make money off AI by calling any criticism of scraping creators works naive and stupid.

So much talk and so little to actually show is the hallmark of AI companies. Which is a strange thing to stay as LLMs are a fascinating technological achievement. They’re not useless obviously. I’m talking about the major upheaval these CEO

Are you suggesting I don’t? I have those things but the industry is still in a bad place and is doing a lot of damage to good people.

by spacemadness 1y ago
Yes, this makes me sad how so many hobby groups are trapped within FB. It’s usually hobbies with an older demographic.

Who says commies these days in all seriousness? Alternatively minded people sounds like something out of a Facebook boomer fever dream.

I hate this elitist HN argument and I have a degree and a long interest in software dev since I was a child. It’s vacuous gatekeeping at best and doesn’t explain the state of the industry. Yeah I know, bootcamps, blah blah. I’ve worked with

Sounds great until they’re PIPd. And I fully agree with you. The industry is hellbent on working people into the ground because they’re drunk on their newfound layoff powers. They absolutely love the turn around in their favor and I’ve pers

I’ve seen way more people struggling with mental health issues largely from overwork and stress than overly privileged. I think I’ve once or twice worked with an engineer that was kinda lazy but that’s out of hundreds of people I’ve worked
