It's very common. From a certain level up, execs rarely use the products they are responsible for. It's all about strategy, committees, meetings, plans and reports. For them the product is just an abstract thing. When I rented a B

That makes sense. Sounds similar to what I am usually doing. I let AI write a python script or similar, review it and then use the python script. I don't think I would let AI do anything important directly.

I feel the iPhone or ChatGPT moment for robotics is coming soon. Lots of different companies doing interesting things. What’s missing is somebody putting it together into a compelling package.

There are companies that are paying housewives in India to record all their activities. I assume laundry is part of that.

Same for recycling. A robot that could sort through trash would be phenomenal. You need computer vision, maybe other sensors and also dexterity. After visiting a recycling facility I think nobody should have to work there. It’s just horribl

Sometimes I wonder if he would be willing to give up half of his wealth to make everybody as unhappy as himself.

Same for supporting issues. If the "other" party proposes something, people are automatically against. As soon as "their" party supports it, they are all in. The MAHA movement is a good example. If democrats had said som

"People hate Congress but love their Congressperson. " I honestly think most Congress people want to do good for the country. But the system has become totally dysfunctional making it basically impossible to really work on issues.

"3. hope scaling stops working before we create an AI formidable enough to pose an existential risk" I have my doubts. The current AI models are already powerful enough to do some real damage. I am always horrified when I read abo

"Almost sounds like what those AI safety and alignment people were talking about years ago. The people in these various companies who kept tabs on AI risk out in public and were continuously mocked on HN. All of this stuff is viewed as

My oral irrigator is super important for my gums. Whenever I have a sensitive spot it some inflammation I can get it under control by irrigating the spot twice a day. It’s been years since I had bleeding gums. Before using the irrigator I

I had this sometimes happen as a kid. I think we mostly solved it with some old fashioned violence.

How do you figure out what is a malicious ad? That seems really difficult at scale.

I think writing will go the way of software development. Really good writers and devs will probably thrive with AI but most of us do fairly mundane, repetitive work that will get done by AI. I remember, when I used ChatGPT the first time to

"When schemas or indexes change, how will that affect all of the different services? " It's absolutely horrible. Now all the services are tightly coupled without the devs really realizing this. And the side effects of databas

That sounds like like they could just have used AWS Lambda instead of microservices.

Python is ok. People get used to it. The biggest antipattern in my view is using different stacks for different services.

Kubernetes is pretty ok if you keep things simple. The project I worked on had kubernetes set up years ago and from there on it just worked.

"Big companies mostly seem to use the microservice(s) per team model. " I am good with that. What we often see is 10 microservices per team of 3 devs. And ideally using the same database.

I hope this finally motivates the Europeans to step up their game long-term. They should be able to defend themselves without the US and also develop and produce their weapons within Europe. NATO will be better if it's an alliance of e

They poop on people they don't like. I used to work at an office where you had to walk under some trees from the parking lot to the entrance. There was one guy that got pooped on at least once a week. Then he used an umbrella which the

That’s what my company is doing. Instead of hiring more people in the US they are hiring almost exclusively in other countries. The tariffs seem to be backfiring in a similar way. More production is moved outside the US to avoid the tariffs

The problem in my view is that there aren't good tools to debug advanced SQL stuff within the context of the whole system which is usually written in a higher level language. I just spent a few weeks modifying some code where the origi

You can rage against Trump and republicans as much as you want but in the end the democrats must learn to formulate why anybody should vote FOR them. Even in the current chaos they aren’t able to bring up a coherent message and follow throu

“ every little change in requirements and docs has its own commit” I think this would be a great thing to have and know who changed what and when. It seems it’s more of a problem of the tools being able to help the user see only what he nee
