I'm one of those offshore people that live in a cheaper place and works remotely for a US co. The majority of people in the company are still in the US, and even for the East coast, the timezones…
comment
There's something so unsettling about that 2nd link you posted, and I don't mean from an "AI is impressive" POV (I think it looks like absolute garbage but will probably continue i…

I mean by your logic self driving cars were invented back when we put a steam engine on some tracks in the 1800s. Of course the goalposts shift when the hypesters are trying to sell you on an idea lik…

(I've been diagnosed with pretty severe ADHD though I choose to be unmedicated) Ideally, all of the above? Why are we pretending these next-text-predicting chatbots are at all capable of handling…

I'm curious how this is gonna fly considering the DMA in the EU.

Seems about right? It's not 183M unique people, it's 183M people going to and from places, sometimes multiple times in a day most likely.

IME they do anyways? They won't replace every single device every 3 years, but most companies I've worked for will do refreshes every 3-5 years, Mac or not
comment
My work-provided M1 Pro (which I got brand new out of the box) will last all day if idle, but if I'm doing literally anything like even light browsing, the battery life is around 8-10h. More like…
comment
I dunno I use similar apps on my work-provided 32GB M1 Pro and that thing chugs along horribly after a certain point. I still get the spinning beach ball from time to time, and the massive work Vue co…

That's my mistaken read of the situation in NL then! I'd edit my comment to point this out but am unable to at this point unfortunately :(
comment
Could you list some examples of where public infra hasn't "gone well"? Because from my own view of things it's the exact opposite, whenever anything became privatized that shouldn&…
comment
If it were just any regular tool people (speaking for myself here mostly, but I see similar sentiments on HN) would be less annoyed and argumentative about it. Instead it's being shoved down our …
comment
Maybe I'm just lucky with where I've lived, but I've literally never had problems pirating without obfuscating my traffic in any way whatsoever. I've been torrenting since I was a …
comment
It's been super easy to stream pirated content for more than a decade (Popcorn Time) at this point, especially of late with the billions of pirate streaming sites that all pull from 20 different …
comment
There was also South Park's episodes 200 and 201 where they got a slew of death threats for depicting Mohammad. Funnily enough, Mohammad's depiction was the least offensive of all the other …

> It assumes cookies. How can people still be this misinformed about GDPR and the ePrivacy law? It's been years, and on this very website I see this exact interaction where someone is misint…
comment
> On a company/product website you should still inform users about them for the sake of compliance No? Github for example doesn't have a cookie banner. If you wanna be informative you can…
comment
If these AIs can't exist without also gobbling up those artist's work, then yes? You can't have it both ways, either their artwork is worthless for the purposes of training an AI (in wh…
comment
I feel the complete and total opposite. With leetcode-esque ones it's just a luck of the draw that you can conjure up the memory for whatever it is they're asking you to do. The decent one…
comment
(I do the interviews at our company, but I'm just a regular dev and not in management or HR or anything like that) I get where you're coming from, and I've tried to fight to get people …
comment
And on the plus side that liability also provides people a lever with which they can push back against stupid managerial decisions. My father was an aeronautical engineer, and his favorite word to say…
comment
Speaking to actual humans IRL (as in, non-management colleagues and friends in the field), people are pretty lukewarm on AI, with a decent chunk of them who find AI tooling makes them less productive.…
comment
It's kinda crazy to witness, you can see in the main GPT-5 release thread that there are people excusing things like the bot being blatantly wrong about Bernoulli's Principle in regards to…
comment
Let's ignore for the moment that we're talking about a word generator that relies on an infinite amount of pirated data input to "learn" anything. Let's also ignore that the p…
comment
Accepted by whom, the people shoving AI down our throats?
comment
Isn't this worse, though? You said it yourself, it's an even blacker black box that nobody truly understands. And we even have an attempt at setting rules for these things akin to Asimov…
comment
I mean, antibiotic resistance and superbugs are a thing. Overuse of antibiotics has been and still is definitely a problem, and there's a good reason that you're very strongly advised to f…

> you're delusional Am I? I'm saying this is what's going to happen (if people like Altman are correct), same as how the Luddites knew exactly what was going on. I'm not denyi…
