You're assuming at least two things that I disagree with. First about behavior in old age. I'm pretty sure the majority of adults today don't want to live and think like their gran…

Of course, the SWEs making that much (over 200k) are not representative of the broader field. That's the point. Pay hits a ceiling, and that ceiling is moving lower regardless of e…

> software production has become a mass-produced commodity For who? The public? The public has never liked buying software at any price. Businesses? Businesses need higher quality …

Keeping things up to date and holding critical infrastructure to higher standards than consumer tech is not a bad idea. Taking things offline and properly airgapped can also work, …

A language model does language model things? That might actually be... an appropriate use of the technology!

Judgment was all there ever was to begin with. It's why it's what God himself does, although I'd be curious if there are deities that don't involve judgment in some form. Anyway, I…

> It could be a while before the boost comes. ... There is another problem. If the productivity boost from AI is large enough to change any country’s fiscal arithmetic profoundly, …

It might also be the design of the blog post. It's a wall of text and human made diagrams might have actually helped. I kind of don't like the font used for the body text either. T…

This blog post is so rambly that I don't think this discussion will go anywhere beyond the usual AI good/bad arguments. This is exactly the sort of thing that frustrates HN. Since …

Yes, the value of TPS reports diminishes with throughput. That's why Jevon's Paradox is the dumbest meme we've had this year. The parent concept of marginal utility describes why A…

To be fair, "confidence" and knowing "who you are" in college is largely an illusion. I would argue that "success" at that age is more a matter of being interesting and entertainin…

You forgot to add "coordination" to that pipeline. That is easily far and away the biggest source of delays. That includes talking to vendors, meetings with every layer of stakehol…

> That lag creates a perverse choice every vendor of validated modules eventually faces: ship the security fix now and fall off the validated list for a year or more, or keep shipp…

> Now, it’s hard to justify having a lot of those easy ticket solver developers around. This is such a flawed, but common take. Are you seriously going to claim you were never a ju…

Why does the tone have to be ragebait? This is just a basic overview of what compliance looks like.

It's OpenAI still trying to maintain control of the narrative while they burn to the ground. For years they haven't really delivered while bullying anyone who doesn't have an "AI s…

It's the state of junior devs who shouldn't have been hired over someone better qualified for the role. I can easily see a ton of cases of nepotism and EEOC violations being brough…

All usage of AI is fraud

The acceptance of the slop is the problem. We've had low effort fraud for all of human history. We absolutely need to revise our definition of fraud to include AI slop. People need…

I still don't understand why there's such a race to the bottom. If they don't want to make a movie properly, why make it at all? The corner cutting across the board has become so b…

The propaganda against Google Gemini is wild, but no thanks. We know how this will play out soon.

Why did you make this comment? It's completely off topic. Your appeals to authority do not apply when the author is clearly telling you not to use it for that. We're well past the …

The audience will go on witch hunts. They will doxx anyone even tangentially related to a crime and commit Luigi-style assassinations. The police are very aware of the "street just…

The abuse is far more likely to come from the audience than the police. The true crime fanbase tends to have mental health issues.
