>> What researcher in their right mind would move their research and their future to the USA to join this clown rodeo? Well, not all research is publicly funded. I think private funding is still…

What makes you think Anthropic might be worse than OpenAI? Anything specific, or just vibes?
comment
>> Provisional employment does not work. It requires candidates to leave their jobs before they know whether they have a secure job with your firm. It works. I’ve seen it in two different places…

>> games push computers to their absolute limits The overwhelming majority of games actually don’t. Even 5+ year old rigs can run most modern games just fine.

I believe most robo vacuums have lidar and other sensors. They don't have cameras.
comment
>> A standard interview loop kills an entire work day, and is preceded by phone interviews that eat several hours. Properly budgeted work samples are strictly better from the candidate's ti…

The problem with work-sample testing (which is commonly administered as a take-home problem for the developer candidate to solve) is two-fold: a) it discriminates against people who cannot spare 4+ ho…

>> I'm seeing this applied to every role across organizations. The designer that gets heard is the one who can vibe code the best. Same with strategists, writers (seriously), and other peop…

A lot of people don't have that many friends. I forget the average but it is in fact absurdly low, at least for Americans. There are a lot of reasons for this (e.g. erosion and disappearance of &…

It appears to be a mix. I sense that a human wrote it, or at least parts of it, and AI was used for polish. But the LLM-isms are definitely obvious.

If not today, then sometime next week. I don't believe we've had a GPT release on a Friday yet, but I may be wrong.

Even when you have a clear idea of what you want, there are still hundreds of decisions you need to make while building it, both big and small. Everything from what to name your database tables and co…

Your comment is not a serious one. Their revenue has quadrupled in just a few months. So yes, December 2025 is a long time ago now.

I wonder how Ed Zitron will shift goal posts this time, and how long it will take for that article, when published, to reach HN front page.
comment
It’s more than that, right? Canadian real estate is bonkers for example, and would still be even if we magically elevated Canadian salaries to US levels.
comment
A lot of it is prisoner's dilemma and its variants. As an investor, even if you think a particular AI shift is bullshit, you have to take into account the possibility that other investors won…

The thread itself reads like it was written entirely by AI. What a world we live in!

>> You don't know what you're talking about. I can assure you I am intimately familiar with the entire process. >> It means you need to fly back to your home country for a few da…

Did you... create a new account just to be able to respond to Thomas? Btw, he's a security researcher. You should be more respectful.
comment
This is an absurd change that will have catastrophic consequences in both academia and the private sector. Even if you're a US citizen who is "America First", you will feel the impact, …
comment
Even better, if you have access to multiple models, tell it you got the code from another AI agent. I did an experiment on this a few weekends ago and Codex for example was a lot more adversarial and …

>> If you cannot own things you create, there is little incentive to create and share those things. You do realize people created and shared things long before copyright became a thing, right?
comment
Pretty big talent win for Anthropic. Karpathy is one of those people who was working on AI before it became "a thing," and he's definitely both a thought leader and influential practiti…
comment
I tested it yesterday. It is pretty bad. Just like with Composer 2, it's fast, but quality is nowhere near what Cursor claims with their benchmarks. It is not even at Opus 4.5 level. I gave it a …

They didn't say it's a new model... in fact they said exactly what you just said.
comment
Pretty sure it's the opposite: appeals mostly only work when the decision is not clear cut, and the statute of limitations is.
