This person sounds insufferable. I mean, there’s lack of consideration for your fellow humans, and then there’s openly admitting that you “don’t care to understand” the reasons for…

That’d make sense, I don’t actually have any personal experience with Current so I was just going off the essay/site. But of course AI is quite good at making inordinately convinci…

Even with all these revelations, there’s still something so weird about this whole story. To go from crafting such a strong, principled app as Current to conjuring an AI-slop-fuele…

It takes a very normal kind of company to judge you for how well you fit into the narrow box they’ve built for ‘employee’ that has no room for emotion or consideration of the perso…

I think you’re missing the fact that no one is saying not to be concerned, quite the contrary. OpenAI is using the threat of how powerful its models are to bolster support for regu…

The whole premise of this line of thought is faulty because everybody seems to assume that you're entirely either a door-open person or a door-closed person. The point is choice. T…

I think the novel concept here is taking a three month unpaid vacation every year , which I doubt is common or easy in any tech company. Personally, I would sooner go for a four-da…

Assault? Robbery? He'd disguise himself to commit basically any criminal act agains Fahim, not just murder. Even weapons being brought could have been intended for threatening futu…

It's amazing to see the Olympian gymnastics routines the tech world is going through right now to try to make the Cybertruck anything but a hilarious testament to Tesla's hubris. N…

Cybertruck isn't even competitive, let alone impressive, in its market segment. Doug DeMuro did a great rundown of this here: https://youtu.be/Q-0DdRHA-ZQ

You’re well within your right to buy a Tesla, modify it to the moon and back, and use it independently however you want. I hate Tesla as a company and I’m a strong supporter of the…

> Even more naive and immature is the idea that conversations either lead to epiphany or do nothing. Ah yes, where ever did I get that idea when forming my opinion about a site tit…

The idea that people’s important opinions can be changed by some sort of silver bullet mega-argument is naive and immature, and frankly a great example of what’s wrong with discour…

The cold actually reduces range considerably and increases charging times. I’ve even heard reports of being unable to charge a Tesla through a standard 120VAC outlet if the weather…

Simple, because people would buy it instead of the more expensive new iPhones. They don't want unit sales anymore, they want ASP.

Small phone equals small battery, and when you have a reduced power budget there's some things you just can't do. Small phone also obviously equals small hardware components. To th…

It happens all over the place all the time, if you don't stay late you're "not a team player". Of course your employer isn't going to say you're fired because you're a parent, unle…

I don't think the author is suggesting that you need to 100% complete this entire prescriptive road map to start working as a web developer. This is more an illustration of the jou…

Many hourly jobs actually don't get paid for sick time off, or sick hours are accrued as a benefit that you use-or-lose. The former scenario is obviously not fraud, but even in the…

The existence of TSA PreCheck is all the proof you need that the onerous additional screenings of TSA Economy are pointless. Either that, or it's impossible for someone with $85 an…

They get back-paid eventually, whenever the shutdown ends. But many are probably living paycheck-to-paycheck and can't afford to wait. The article posits that at least some are cal…

Your flaw is in assuming that tablet + keyboard == laptop. Tablet + keyboard is way better than a laptop in some contexts, way worse in others. Imagine being an illustrator that al…

Lowering the effort bar for making Mac apps doesn't mean that every developer is going to do the bare minimum, but it does mean that more developers will find it economical to buil…
