Did that AI round feedback scuttle a potential offer?

Very easy answer: they don't.

The mid-size Fenix that I'm talking about is 47mm. The Pixel 5 with this shitty battery life is 45mm. And the also-shitty Ultra is 49mm. So, no, size is not the difference at all.

My Fenix 8 lasts for about a month with 10 hours per week of training. 30 hours with everything enabled is pathetic for a smart watch.

It's so, so clearly written by Claude. What are you talking about. Do you really think that you can fool people with so little effort?

This is so much more interesting than yet another LLM release.

No... no it doesn't.

It literally is just next word prediction. If you don't understand that, everything else you're thinking and saying is based on an incorrect foundation. Take a step back and really take a look at what's going on. You are not

Everyone saying it is in the "not as good as they think they are" camp is the very obvious explanation.

Literally the same thing people have been saying for two years. How gullible can you be.

Anyone who certified you with AI code reviews is a moron.

Confidently incorrect, the best kind of incorrect.

Massively different from algorithmic doom scrolling feeds. I would call HN a type of social media lite, but not the type of social media that's leading to generation-wide mental health issues in children/teens.

Yes, social media creates useful idiots, you are correct. And also possibly one of them, if you're arguing that it somehow makes people smarter or more informed.

Social media is so, so much worse than anything a government could come up with. This is a good thing for the world even if there are ulterior motives at play.

Everyone is free to be as snooty as they like. If a report is harder to read/understand/validate because the author just yolo'ed it with an LLM, that's on the report author, not on the maintainers. It's not okay to

It can be correct and slop at the same time. The reporter could have reported it in a way that makes it clear a human reviewed and cared about the report. Slop is a function of how the information is presented and how the tools are used. Pe

Yes, it is very possible for someone to be smart and an idiot at the same time. Do you think you're smart? Have you ever done something and said "man, I'm an idiot"? It's just like that. Of course, the other explana

250k isn't a budget. It's the minimum that he said someone _should_ spend or else he would think they're doing something wrong. It's an insane take. Completely bone-headed. Just obvious grift.

The people who don't care about LLM slop being shoved down their throat at every turn are the "weirdos" here. The project might not be slop, but the website certainly is, and it's perfectly reasonable for people to stop

Usually it's because the kid won't wear headphones. Not really an excuse, but a lot of the time the kid is just going to do what they want. What the parents should do in that situation is make them watch without sound, but that&#x

Are you implying that someone who prefers Eclipse is more likely to be a good software engineer than someone who prefers Emacs? If so, that is so hilariously backwards that I can't even begin to understand the types of experiences that

Definitely the first two, but the latter is not particularly common at most firms. It's hard to put in the type of thought that you need when you're working that much. It's not slinging power points. 55-60 is much more common

Way, way more than 10, but I agree with you that they are not taking even 1% of tech talent per year.
