These people are hiring in... Freiburg im Breisgau? Wonder how hiring is working out for them there.

I live nearby, its an amazing area, one of the sunniest in Germany with perfect landscape. Not sure about the talent pool though but there is a university.

Sorry because pointing this is a bit tired by now, but reading already the first two paragraph thete is this unmistakable stench of LLM slop writing. Immediately disengaged.

Nobody is forcing you to read it. If you lose some interesting information because you don't like how it sounds, that's your loss.

"Horseless slop trained on centuries of coachmakers' and blacksmiths' work. It'll never replace a real horse." - Hacker News commenter in 1889 criticizing the automobile

This is close to the stupidest thing I've ever read. Congrats

How about CNC mill being slop trained on millions of hours of blacksmith and machinist experience?

It would be interesting to see some time-series sentiment analysis of HN. Subjectively it feels like there's much negativity on HN these days, I hope I'm wrong.

Add in time zone of the commenter and potentially some really interesting data emerges.

Such as?

As I understand it HN is a community for hackers to discuss interesting and curious topics. Pessimistic opinions on the labor market, views about society and politics that border on the dystopian, as well as exaggerated concerns about datacenter environmental impacts, all seem like a poor fit for this website.

It would be a very uninformed world view and naive to say that the people who build and implement cutting-edge technology shouldn't be thinking about its societal implications and dangers. Or even considering more basic things like making sure it doesn't hurt anyone. Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you always should do a thing. Anyone ever taken a CS course that includes extensive discussion of the Thera…

Is anyone feeding models touch data? It seems the main thing we want the robots to do is touch things, but we are just feeding them audio/video/images. The model has to learn how to touch things despite never having touched anything before. Perhaps that's why they all look so hesitant when they touch things?
