I'm an old guy working in legacy industries. People are increasingly using AI here but many are just vibe coding and not checking on the results. I always have to clean up the data…

The bottom of the bottomless pit is just a regular pit?

Good point. Would be less irritating if they hosted on codeberg.

@Grok is this true

I've found the most useful LLM UIs for me are tree-like with lots of branches where you go back and forth between your prompts. You branch off anywhere, edit top or leafs as you go…

The former but I'm not sure how much they knew about how I failed on the rest

I'm a counterpoint to this. Outstanding IC wanting to get into management for job security / ageism. Turned out to be a bad manager too focused on team and unable to effectively ma…

It's Binance P2P. You can transfer crypto directly into local currency. It uses local residents as liquidity providers.

I'm using Binance P2P. By far the cheapest way to transfer funds from rich to poor countries. Have used Wise in the past because it's very convenient to use but they are just extre…

Being white farang and having lived in Thailand for 6 years now I immediately got what he was saying. Maybe you should consider you might not have the full context of the conversat…

You know you could just post a Show HN if you wanted to promote your crypto thingy. No need to be so ridiculous about it.

Went freelance at 43. Turns out a bit of white hair and experience is actually considered valuable. Pretty much same dev job, contracts usually renewed every 6 months and three to …

The way they are playing up how they are HIRING IN THE EU feels like such a blatantly obvious way to influence their image in Europe.

I'm guessing he means something like this https://hbr.org/2011/12/first-lets-fire-all-the-managers Or any of these https://www.happy.co.uk/blogs/16-companies-that-don-t-have-m...

As someone who has been a part of the demo scene in the 90s I find this offensive. Generative art can be a wildly creative process on par with anything a painter works through. It'…

A book called The Culture Map goes into this. You basically have low confrontational and high confrontational cultures. I found that understanding the differences helped a lot when…

If everybody is going to university no one is going to build anything
