Hey I just wanted to say thanks for writing this. I’m going to check out the things you mentioned, and it just feels nice to know there are like minded people out there. You writing this has helped me feel better about the state of things,

One of may favorite things to do was to spend some time tinkering around to learn a new programming language. I collected quite a few and it was fun to learn new paradigms and how to organize programs. But now since AI… idk I just can’t do

Maybe we should start requiring companies to pay a percent of wages in equity. That would at least allow workers to share in a company’s success.

Yeah this seems right to me. Politics is so polarizing it's a guarantee that half the country is going to be pissed no matter who is in charge. Most of my family leans left, it's hard to stay positive when the leader of your count

I think it's the dissonance between what the data say and just looking around. I see far more homeless, friends and family are more stressed, life in general just feels harder with less opportunity. Then you have the data people saying

AI or not, most people never cared about documentation. I have always had to fight tooth and nail to get people to write shit down, and that hasn't changed with AI. In 2021 I wrote a ton of docs for outlining our deployment and various

My take is that people feel powerless to really do anything against these massive tech companies. This is the only tangible way they can fight back.

I propose we build one under Sam Altman's house.

This is what bothers me the most about this whole situation. Reckless, greedy, sociopaths have been put in charge of our society and there doesn't seem to be any way out. It's like I'm on a train barreling toward a brick wall

If this is how the 'good guys' act I think I'd rather take my chances with the bad actors...

by yoyohello13 3mo ago
Yeah, I think this needs to be update for the modern age. "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by greed." Seems to fit vastly more situations.

Ah, ok I see. Your correcting the fact that I think it's wild when it actually shouldn't be surprising. I understand now.

by yoyohello13 3mo ago
Not sure why you said 'Not at all'. Your comment seems to corroborate exactly what I said. People who don't care are specifically rewarded more than people who do and it's by design.

Kind of weird you guys are being down-voted. This is absolutely true. I volunteered at the local Boys and Girls club for years and there was always a vibe when any new person or parent came in. Over 30 male working with kids always raises e

It's kind of wild that our system seems to be specifically set up to exploit people who care. Sociopath who views people as just a barrier to their goals? Promotion to CEO, billion dollar bonus. Millions of tax dollars spent to bail yo

I’m actually taking prerequisites at a local cc to start an accelerated BS in nursing. Feels like one of the few jobs that’s still going to be in demand.

It is kind of mind boggling. They could have chosen anything and decided to implement it in the slowest jankiest way possible. Proves LLMs don’t help with taste.

Content is interesting and seems accurate to me. That narrator drives me nuts though. There too many “like” “you know” “so” “down here”. Comes off grating, I don’t think I could listen to multiple hours of this.

Ah, then my second wish will be for everyone to want the common good.
83.
by yoyohello13 3mo ago
If I had one wish, it would be to make 'common good' more incentivizing than 'maximize revenue/profit' but sadly it's not the world we live in.

Elon is the richest (and by extension most powerful) person in the world. How is he the scrappy underdog in any context?

Yeah, HN is a terrible place to come for life advice. It's the blind leading the blind around here. It's even worse, because there are so many confidently wrong (and smart) people who will jump at the chance to write you a novel a

Wow! I would not have expected to hear about this game again. The first game was a lot of fun, definitely room to flesh out the game play loop but had great ideas.

It was kind of scary how prescient Jurassic Park was. Just swap genetics for AI and his warnings are incredibly applicable to modern times.

I re-read the book recently and it was really fun to read about the tech now. The descriptions of how difficult it was to build a database that could handle storing 3bil base pairs, which is trivia now. Probably the most sci-fi part of the

Yeah, I don't agree with OP really. Cuts can be warranted, necessary and popular. It takes actual work to determine the best places to make cuts though. The DOGE cuts were completely vibes based and did basically nothing, especially si
