    I'm getting very tired of the redditification of HN. This place used to not be like this.

    This has gotta be a troll man. They aren't responsible for poor security measures. They are only responsible for what is outlined in the thing they pay for. I'm gonna mute this thr…

    that is not correct in the slightest. It would only be your blame if you built and managed the lab. The lab is not US owned or managed, it's up to the lab who claims they can safel…

    What does that have to do with anything? If I pay the salary of a driver and they decide to drink and run over a family it's in no way my fault.

    > Modern UX is bad because many front-end programmers fundamentally just do not care about the UX, it's not about the specific tech they use. This is untrue and is weird misunderst…

    The level of effort is minimal. It's not a quantitative definition, its qualitative. Also absolutely in no way shape or form is it anywhere near the level of decision making of a d…

    yes, they would, they still didnt make the coffee though. They would likely get banned from said coffee shop if they then went around the room claiming they made the coffee.

    It's the level of effort and involvement (also if you listen to any director talk they will never say "I made", they will say "we made"). Similarly to AI, nobody gives credit to th…

    there is a pretty stark difference between independent US companies copying each other and a state backed chinese company taking data and IP from american citizens.

    This is weird and reactionary. Lots of organizations are continuing to refuse to use chinese models due to security and IP concerns. Anthropic/american models aren't going anywhere…

    You really should just not assume things about people with no reason other than "they dont like the things i like so therefor they must not be experienced". I've worked on plenty o…

    I'm still not sold on typescript. I've used it off and on professionally for years and it has always just felt like a maneuver to create a safehaven to C# and java devs scrambling …

    You couldn't have possibly verified that. Stock prediction based on what? What's your sample size over what period of time? Using what indicators? how far is your lookback?
