I understand things are different there, but I thought even in California 6 figures at entry or mid level was a thing only in software engineering, so my point was that premium over other professions was evaporating.

I am also hiring, in Europe with very good work/life balance but modest salaries and like the parent I'm also not that impressed with candidates, so to me the other explanation is that candidates have a wildly incorrect estimation

Career progression is not everything, I'm approaching 40 and I'm doing the opposite, pivoting towards what I should have been doing at 28.

And is vibing replies to comments too in the Reddit thread. When commenters points out they shouldn’t run in YOLO/Turbo mode and review commands before executing the poster replies they didn’t know they had to be careful with AI. Maybe

I’m actually one of the people that continue to say even with this list they have no moat, because Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. can just embed a chatbot in their existing products or social network and make ChatGPT irrelevant overnight

Where I live in France there was a big relaxation in building permits in the 50s to 70s, and we are dealing with these projects badly designed (because of the lack of oversight) today. Neighborhoods that are urban hell, disfigured city cent

Meditation is interesting because it made me able to not only separate thoughts from words, but also consciousness from thoughts. It’s also consistent with our intuition that toddlers have consciousness and thoughts and other mammals at lea

To me it’s the opposite, System 7 crashed all the time and MacOS 9 was rock solid. System 7 was a mess until 7.6, at which point it was basically MacOS 8. And the UI was way more pleasing, the system 7 one had a 80s vibe to me.

This intuition comes with experience, LLMs or not. Because it’s not intuition, it’s being being able to understand the problem and the solution as code better than the LLMs. The problem is will businesses justify 5+ years of training so tha

I don’t know if Google will win but the message they sent is that Nvidia will not: if Google can release the best model without using their own chips instead of GPUs, and save money in the process, then others (Microsoft, Amazon, etc.) will

I don’t understand, how can adoption rate change overnight if its derivative is negative? Trying to draw a parallel to get intuition, if adoption is distance, adoption rate speed, and the derivative of adoption rate is acceleration, then if

But flu isn’t just a cold, it’s a serious disease. If they are sick to the point they have fever then they can’t really afford to not rest as it has a cost in the form of longer health debt. And even short term, by letting the fever run and

Isn’t it common knowledge that adults heal quicker with higher fever, and that suppressing fever is needed only if it reaches dangerous levels (in contrast to children where fever can be dangerous at lower levels)?

You are looking through the eyes of an individual contributor, but it is not a social network for individuals and job search is a side effect. The main audience is marketing and sales services and executives, to advertise and network in the

There is a fantasy theory that you can just only explain to them why something is bad, and they’ll understand and stop to do it by themselves. In contrast to past generations that are painted as caricatures that only had rules with harsh pu

by tarsinge 10mo ago
This is unfortunately a common fallacy: rules with consequences can encourage kids to lie, it’s inferior to trust, so let’s have no rules (and don’t say no) and talk through everything. Not only is not how kids brains grow, but inevitably t

Except if a car was reliable it shouldn’t have errors at least until at least being 10 years old (the 12V battery is an exception because it has a smaller lifespan than the car). I never had a check engine light on my previous car during 10

Not only this, but there is a compounded bet that it’ll be OpenAI that cracks AGI and not another lab, particularly Google from which LLMs come in the first place. What makes OpenAI researchers so special at this point?

Problem is the day Google puts a similarly priced and more powerful chatbot similar to ChatGPT and powered by Gemini most users will switch without a second thought, and Google will get all that data about their personal life too. OpenAI ha

I don't know, the kind of developers doing this are the same that would copy paste from stack overflow in the past. Because if you are interested in knowledge and human experience, LLMs or not you are curious about what you read and ta

I own a small agency and it’s the same for me, but that doesn’t explain the urgency nor the layoffs in the big companies. Yes we are not hiring juniors, but we still hire seniors because they are now more productive. That’s not what we are

Why do you think it’s cultural and not a skill issue? For example Tim Cook said they produce in China not because of costs but skills https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44783543/when-tim-coo...

Having to tweak the defaults to get something more usable is a huge step back for MacOS. If I wanted to spend time with settings I’d use Linux. I use and recommend Mac OS because historically everything works perfectly out of the box, like

Yes unfortunately it to me the site replaces anxiety inducing news with depressing information. Current news: bad things are happening. 40 years old news: here are the bad decisions that led to bad things happening now.

I’m sorry but no, I consider myself quite rational and I simply didn’t stay up to date on the subject, to me it was still a possible theory with others. When a theory was seriously considered not too long ago you can’t suddenly label it con

Yes everybody is trying to find rational reasons but to me like in recent politics a lot has to do with irrational tribalism. I stumbled on an article of Gabe talking about his new yacht[0] and it made me realize he is not different than ot

Back in the days there were not a lot of copies to start with. No laptops, no BYOD, no cloud servers. A developer making a copy would involve buying an expensive large drive (for the time) and sneaking it at work to steal it, not worth the

To me (and it’s my personal experience) I read it as tech people have a bias for systemic thinking, and usually lack skills and/or experience in human social dynamics, especially when young, which makes laissez faire capitalism /
