There's probably no solution, but at least this gives a reason to go after the lowest hanging fruit - the zero-effort, obvious, low-quality output.

Not just bad taste. I have yet to see a post that attributes its text to an LLM ("I asked ChatGPT and here's what it said...") that doesn't come off as patronizing. "Hey, so I don't really have any knowledge or

I didn't say I thought it was popular because of AI. I clarified whether this mental link could be faulty because a lot of new projects are AI-related in general. I might give it a shot soon. Would you recommend it for simpler all-in-o

Bun seems to be all the rage that people are talking about. In your (and others) experiences, has it been better than all the individual tools that it aims to replace? Do you expect it to stay around for a long time? Also it seems very tigh

Adding it to all text-editing environments could be problematic due to the decrement operator -- Many keyboard layouts for other languages use the right Alt (AltGr) key for less common symbols. Something like AltGr+(-) could work for the em

But they could implement it without buying Moltbook. Easily. They have the money and the engineers to make it happen a hundred times over. Something like it already might be on Facebook. To me, this feels more like acquiring the name. Every

Does it only work with chat apps? I've never used it, but I thought all the hype was from it being promoted as the first real general-purpose PC-using layer that could run on anything. What can it run on then?

As far as I know, from the people I know, companies here aren't actually pushing people here to do this. Working conditions are about the same as they've been. Maybe a few are doing this, but there's not a trend. It's ju

Are there really no ways to control read/write permissions in a smart way? I've not had to do this yet, but is it really only capable of either being advisory with you implementing all the code, or it having full control over the

In a couple years, we'll have office workspaces equipped with EEG helmets that you must wear while working, to measure your sentiment upon seeing LLM-generated code. The worst performers get the boot, so you better be happy!

I am in software. It's just that the bargaining power of juniors and new grads has fallen through the floor, but companies are still not willing to hire any of us. I would even work the full 7 work day/week schedule (despite all i

Yeah, asking for a tool to do a thing is almost always better than asking for the thing directly, I find. LLMs are kind of not there in terms of always being correct with large batches of data. And when you ask for a script, you can actuall

Sometimes to me it feels like HN posts come from a different universe to mine. $10 million to answer emails on weekends seems insane. I would gladly do it for 2x the minimum wage where I live. The situation on the market is really, really d

The most effective way of combating this for Uber would be to start doing deeper background checks, live interviews, in-depth assessments, customized testing on their drivers. Mandate video and audio recordings in the car that's stream

A divider's not gonna do anything. The threat of being in someone else's car is that they can take you anywhere, keep driving you around, harass and demand things from you. It's a position of trust. Not the same kind of trust

I'm using PCs as an example precisely because they're not absolutely secure, yet despite this, everything is going fine, because the vectors of attack are so esoteric. Tell me, when's the last time you've heard of an att

That's how all these vendors justify their actions once they decide it's time to kill off their competition and impose arbitrary limitations. But how real is this "damage", actually? How big do you think the overlap betw

No, because you're not expecting to get 5c every year regardless of your investment. In this example, they want 5% of their initial investment. So, $100 becomes $105 the next year, the $105 becomes $110.25 the year after that, and so o

It would've definitely helped to soften the blow. We can only blame the last generation of devs who did nothing. But if LLMs end up being as useful as claimed, nothing could halt that transition.

Housing is expensive in Canada, but it's absolutely not uniform. $2500/mo starting is crazy, which city are you sourcing these claims for? I live in a major city (but not Vancouver or Toronto, obviously) and if you're just tr

Great! We'll be able to scoop up lots of hay and even toast it on the fire a bit. It's a good starvation-proof fallback.

So, what does that leave for the current new grads? The LLM field hasn't even stabilized yet, we're still pretty far from a defined set of qualifications. Yet hiring has already stopped due to economical factors. By the time it sw

I don't doubt that there are some bot comments here and there, but there are tens of people in this comment section echoing the same sentiment. Many of them have post histories going back many years. They can't all be bots. On eve

This thread doesn't resonate with me whatsoever. It's not that I don't get where these people are coming from. LLMs have allowed people to churn out projects (especially small, personal projects) faster than ever, skipping wh

With a few possible exceptions, Canada isn't really cheaper for US tourists. They get more CAD for their US dollars, but most prices in Canada are scaled up accordingly, so it ends up being pretty much the same or more expensive.

I feel like the F-91w is as much of a brand-driven symbol as the luxury watches. The F-91w has come to represent this scrappy, minimal, no-nonsense mentality - but it's not the cheapest watch you can get, and I don't think it&#x27

Ironically, because phone designs have converged so much and innovation had plateaued, a phone with no branding whatsoever represents a brand in and of itself. Think about it, even the worst, cheapest no-name phones built from old parts in
