I feel like by the time the societal pressure starts rising in any major way, it won't matter anymore. By that point, the people who will profit will become gods with a prepared response for every action the lower classes could take.

I think the constraints will remain in some fields, especially where there is a high price to pay for mistakes and consequently additional regulation. You can't vibe review code that will run on medical equipment, aircraft systems or i

Yes, because the current pro-AI leaders, CEOs, politicians etc. are anything but authoritarian, right? Think of the rights of the freedom-loving billionaires and their world-scale network of power! What you should really worry about is this

It's not about productivity. Never was. If humanity doubled its productivity tomorrow, companies would either demand triple the output and/or lay off the majority of their workers. The length of work weeks is a question of worker

That would only be true is AI usage experience was equivalent to domain experience, especially since the former keeps getting easier. If anything, companies might want to hold onto their seniors and midlevels, because they collectively deci

I don't understand what you found to be so outrageous in the parent comment. The report addresses both emotional impressions of AI use and fears of it impacting the job market. As someone from gen Z, I don't like the average quali

But the fee isn't an initiation ritual. It's what partially subsidizes the low prices, often at the expense of people who buy the membership and underutilize it, spending more money upfront than they save on later purchases.

The author's view is alien to me. It paints Costco as some sort of cultural retirement home. A boring place for boring people, not just a big store in a warehouse. I know that displaying brand affinity towards some companies is seen as

I'm surprised no one here talked about the junior side of the market yet. It's underrepresented on HN, but I would have still expected to see something. I'll share what I subjectively gathered from this job market. Senior dev

Ironic that despite the poll leaning blue, the replies to that post are full of people being as provocative and cynical as they can be, cheering on the death of everyone who didn't vote like them and smugly flailing around their percei

Thanks! Looks like it's just the magnetometer and a receiver instrument. Once the pool of instruments runs dry, I wonder how thinly they'll be able to slice the functionality of the remaining, non-experimental systems to prolong t

Is there an exhaustive list of all the systems and experiments that are still running on these probes? I'm really curious about what data it's collecting and sending back to us.

NASA pioneered a lot of what underpins modern design of critical computer systems. Voyager's systems are impressively robust. As far as I know, they can patch it by directly sending up new assembly instructions that are written into it

It would be OK, but the point I'm raising is that the Grammarly-like design encourages the user to resolve everything it highlights, to make the text look uniform and spotless.

This is a confused and misguided project. It makes the mistake of failing to identify why the AI 'style' feels wrong. The author decided to replicate similar tools by breaking down AI writing into bite-sized issues, but it just do

These treaties are ancient and mostly irrelevant, especially outside the topic of hard drugs. Unless you're doing harm to the other nations, no one will do anything. This paper is all the way from 2012. Since its publication, many coun

Because the parent accused you of acquiescence and you just replied with a list of examples to follow, I don't think you understood what they meant. In the worst-case world, there is still more than enough wealth and work done to provi

To me it increasingly seems like there's no version of reality where doing anything will solve the problem, unless you're one of the special few people who can influence the world. The violence is a sign of that. Average people

What I'm saying is that the overall amount of effort being spent on this isn't very proportional to sheer curiosity. Curious people may go out of their way to do something difficult, but years-long research campaigns with a single
