For me, private equity gets a bad rep because they've bought up all of the local mom and pop shops for just about any service I need thats face to face. All of the plumbers, electricians, general contractors, vets, grocery chains, coff

What about a $10k to $20k bill? Or better, 100%-200% of the employees salary? At a certain point in time, finance is going to care greatly about the ability to predict costs. Pre AI, predicting the cost an engineer was quite easy. Salary +

Maybe GitHub being popped for their own insecure by design platform, will cause them to reconsider growth at all costs. I know it's wishful thinking, but the amount of security incidents the past few years because of how actions was de

I take a peak every month or so at spend for my company and notice more and more are consumed $1k in tokens a month and it is bewildering to me how. I use llms daily, and see anywhere from $200-$400 tops. This is using the most expensive mo

Ah appreciate it. A year ago it was very clear when something was written by an LLM, but now you've gotta look for certain characteristics. I try not to infer to much, especially because llms are really helpful for non native English s

Out of curiosity, can you point to specific sections that reel of AI? I read the article and didn't see anything that immediately stuck out, but maybe I need to start looking for different signals.

Costs were reduced to $0. Can't get better then that for a product that OpenAI had no clue how to monetize

I'm surprised the article or the source for it didn't dive deeper into the impact the changes to H1B have had on the tech job numbers. Mind you I'm not trying to argue for or against them, but I find it hard to believe the ch

Others would say this is exactly what they voted for. Unfortunately it's all about perspective, and after a decade of passively consuming hn, it's obvious where the sites interest lies in terms of moderating content.

It's the first editor since probably sublime text that I've genuinely enjoyed. Useful without any configuration, and very easy to get a productive environment. There's a few rough edges that I'm trying to work through. I

Just to reiterate the point the person above you made, but in far simpler terms: independence can be far greater return on your personal well-being then maximizing gains. I'm willing to "lose" out on $50-$100k over the lifeti

There will be a court case where some bit of evidence is going to be similar to: Ice Agents: "Is <name> here illegally?" AI prompt: "you're absolutely right!"

Yeah I agree, we should be holding the ruling class accountable for building generational wealth while average Americans can barely afford basics.

I had a recruiter reach out for a company doing Agentic SRE's due to my years of experience as an SRE. Second sentence was describing their mission as making the SRE role no longer necessary for companies. I know if you read between t

... That makes no sense. The value of an instrument isn't what makes a successful musician successful. The best musicians can make the cheapest sounding instrument sound amazing. What cheaper instruments offers is the opportunity for s

There are still a select few subreddits where this is true as well. I genuinely miss 10 years ago getting into random shit like double edge razors, home brewing and woodworking and how supportive those communities were to get into. Some co

Can it though? Everything I've seen and experienced is that LLMs are very good at making it appear to do those things, but the amount of times I've gotten stuck on "you're absolutely right!" When correcting the LLMs

This was a very challenging article to read. Not because any of the concepts described, but for the way ideas are thrown around and organized. This looks like it was written by a set of llm agents that were instructed to write an article wi

Did I suggest that? I'm pointing out the blaring hypocrisy of a company sitting on $350M in cash that opted to double the size of their company without having a clear strategy to become profitable. Then after laying off half the compan

A counter example would be Weaveworks(folks behind Flux/FluxCD and many other widely used oss tools). I'm sure the ex employees would've preferred to get acquihired vs closing up for good. I highly doubt Styra was pulling in

I'm still pissed about Verizon pocketing billions in subsidies and not finishing their work. My area was next up for fiber installation before Verizon stopped, and so I'm stuck with Comcast or DSL. Comcast claims to offer symmetri
