    As someone who used to meditate, I don't think you did it wrong. There are many right ways to do it, depending on what you seek. Maybe it's not what you needed at the moment, espec…

    You've seen Sam Altman's interviews, yet you still think him a competent man? I think he's rather the embodiment of the death of meritocracy as an idea.

    This is an "uh oh" moment, isn't it?

    Surely this is automated. They wouldn't waste precious dollars on employing humans just to keep other humans happy.

    They learn if they have to, like we always did. In-person exams (proctored) are good for testing that.

    How are people still deluded enough about this economic system to believe rank implies competence?

    It also used to be that reddit comments were the epitome of quality in their time, much closer to current HN if not better. I attributed that to the voting mechanism; clearly I was…

    Other commenters laughing at you for the price... It's not about the price it's about the barrier. Even if I love a service, I won't get very many people to try it if they need to …

    I seem to remember that's one of the first things they tried, but the general models tended to win out. Turns out there's more to learn from all code/discussions than from just JS.…

    Indeed, Python's version format is semver but it's just aesthetics, they remove stuff in most (every?) minor version. Just yesterday I wasted hours trying to figure out a bug befor…

    Took them this long to realize MCPs are just worse APIs.

    I'm not scared that my skills will be obsolete, I'm scared employers will think they are. The labor market was already irrational enough as it was.

    Well, I've worked as a developer in many companies and have never met a DBA. I've met tons of devops, who are just rebranded sysadmins as far as anyone can tell.

    Imagine this for a whole neighborhood! Maybe it'd be more efficient for the transport to come at regular intervals though. And while we're at it, let's pick up other people along t…

    Marvel movies is the worst example, it's a roller coaster ride, not a movie. I agree any braindead idiot or machine could write one. But they couldn't know to write The Pianist or …

    Of all the packaging systems to do this with, npm is certainly one of them.

    I recently witnessed one such potential fuckup. The AI had written functioning code, except one of the business rules was misinterpreted. It would have broken in a few months time …

    You might say the problem CloudFlare is causing is lesser than the ones it's solving, but you can't say they're not causing a new, separate problem. That they're trying counts for …

    This is pretty interesting to me, as I do use Grafana in my current role. But none of their other products, and not their helm chart (we're on the Bitnami chart if that's a thing).…
