    Can you just make a blog post on this explaining your thesis in detail? It's hard for me not to see non-technical "vibe coding" [0] sidelining everyone in the industry except for t…

    When I say 10 years I say that I've probably wanted to work in this field since maybe 10. Computing is my autistic hyperfixation. This is why I'm so frustrated.

    I think what's missing is that the amount of training data to effectively RL usually decreases over time. AlphaGo needed some initial data on good games of Go to then recursively i…

    I would love to make "side revenue", but frankly I am awful at practical idea generation. I'm not a founder type I think, maybe a technical co-founder I guess.

    Not enough resources to get another bachelors, and a masters is probably practically worthless for a pivot. I would have to throw away the past 10 years of my life, start from scra…

    Serious question: What advice would you give to a Computer Science student in light of these tools?

    What do you even do then as a student? I've asked this dozens of times with zero practical answers at all. Frankly I've become entirely numb to it all.

    This smells like AI.

    Cursor Composer is a game-changer for greenfield projects, it's definitely not 3% change.

    So excited to engage the core on our future exciting product developments as a team!

    I think the problem is that from our human scale, mass-killings is the "best" method to eliminate the possibility of another organism causing harm for us. Hypothetically, if there …

    The only thing I think that makes my resume as a student appealing is having real-world projects that show I can meaningfully develop. I'd need similar for GenAI, I'd imagine.

    As far as I've heard, MBAs have also become completely saturated as well. Out of the frying pan into the fire. I get you're trying to be "consoling", but frankly the bajillion pivo…

    I'm not trying to express that, it's that I can't find many meaningful projects with them.

    I want to build but I don't know what. The ideas don't appear. This is what I've been trying to express.

    I guess I'm just confused now. I can't do technical since that's too commodified, but I can't do business since I'm a youngster with no real world experience.

    Comment #42968476

    I see now. You mean real business stuff. At that point I may as well do a startup.

    Comment #42968374

    Hmm. I maintain a pretty big open-source project, so I guess I'm already kinda that? I honestly love computing moreso than I love coding. I'm not very familiar with business concep…

    Apparently OpenAI's Deep Research already saturated a quarter of this benchmark, more or less a month in. But I also imagine it makes baffling mistakes anyway. "Humanity's Last er …

    I agree with you. I just don't know what to do anymore.

    So what do you even do then? I'm completely at a loss now.

    I want to learn, but I can't display that I learned them. You know the whole thing where real projects are more valuable than simply "I did a tutorial"? I struggle to find ways to …

    Honestly I think moving up in a layer of abstraction is not the same as something resembling an intelligent agent.

    I guess... I maintain a big open-source project by myself, I assume that kind of points to self-directedness. I guess on a career level it's discouraging since a student isn't seen…
