I remember reading this post years ago, and it has stuck in my brain ever since: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442941 So I suspect the answer is: they need _at least_ 10x as many engineers to get things done as you

I completely disagree. Terminal workflows are superior in a number of ways. Most important to me are that they are more composable and more customizable. The learning curve is tougher, but the "skill ceiling" on them is higher. Th

As someone who's used vim + a shell as my IDE since the start of my time using computers, it's been really awesome (and occasional eye-roll inducing...) watching people discover all these tools now that claude code is sending them

Good lord. Absolutely nobody is going to watch boxing divisions based on lung size and bone density. Did you actually think that lean mass would be a sensible way to separate divisions in a gender neutral fashion? That would, again, just re

You are clearly out of your depth. Have you ever competed in high level sports? Please don't speak on things you know nothing about. It takes a lot of gall to tell someone 'please let go of the need for this' when they are po

No it doesn't, and no it doesn't. Proposing this concept demonstrates a profound ignorance of what competition at the top level of sports actually looks like. The concept is just bad, unless your goal is to prevent women from bein

This "solution" can really only be proposed by someone who has not played sports. This would simply result in women being unable to compete in sports professionally, outside of a couple small niches like ultra long distance swimmi

Management where I work is currently touting a youtube video from some influencer about the levels of AI development, one of the later ones being "you'll care that it works, not how". We are all supposed to be advancing throu

Would you be willing to bet money that you can beat a properly setup stockfish, no piece odds and even time controls? I'll give you literally any odds you name and let you try an unlimited number of times until you give up. 100% seriou

Again, false. You can clearly hear when the combustion engine kicks in and it's indicated in the dash. I can floor it in electric mode and it still gets up to 60 in around 6 seconds, no gas involved. Hybrid mode is probably slightly fa

This is completely false. I own one. It goes up to the low 80s mph before the gas engine kicks in. Acceleration from a stop is sub 6 second 0-60. Hardly weak. Charges from fully empty to full in about 2.5 hours. Mine gets a 40-45 mile all e

I was a regular SDE at brex for a couple years and my various documents about comp say I have RSUs, and carta says so as well. I've never bothered to understand the details since none of the private companies I've worked for have

I think you have to be careful with this as well, the word "blocking" in particular reminds me of a protest over the Israel/Gaza war that happened at my alma mater a couple years ago. Protesters camped out at a central campus

I am extremely confused by this comment. I scrolled past the intro on the website and got to the very first mention of protein, where it is pictured as the foundation of the "new pyramid". The literal very first long form text tha

This doesn't seem like a conclusion that's supported by the available evidence. We have examples of homogeneous cultures that are high trust, and ones that are low trust. We have examples of diverse cultures that are low trust, bu

From experience, my response to this is, por que no los dos? I am 100% certain that conservative men being less likely to seek help is _part_ of the reason why various data shows them as having fewer mental health issues than their liberal

This is juvenile nonsense. I can point directly to the law in whatever jurisdiction you care to name that makes doing what you describe illegal. You cannot point to anything that makes it illegal to view videos on a publicly accessible webs

No, I'm going to state the truth that I never agreed to be shown ads, and you are extremely weird for lying and claiming that I did. Google wants to show me ads. I don't want to see them. I demonstrated this by blocking them. Goog

I will not be pretending that. I am _asserting_ it. I made no such agreement with YouTube. I am very confused why you think I did

Yes, it actually is, to many people. Poll a random subset of people with the question "are you in favor of free childcare?". X% will say yes. Poll another set with the question "are you in favor of taxpayer funded childcare?&

I skimmed the Project 2025 doc during the leadup to the election when there was a big hullabaloo about it. Did not read the whole thing as it was incredibly long, but did read some summaries. Maybe 75% of it was utterly boring conservative

My experience is the opposite. I've yet to see a single example of AI working well for non trivial work that I consider relevant, based on 15+ years of experience in this field. It's good for brainstorming, writing tests, and gree

Your expectations do not match the employment market as I have ever experienced it. Have you ever worked anywhere that said "go ahead and slow down on delivering product features that drive business value so you can audit the code of y

Would you be interested in making a comment that adds to the conversation, instead of whatever this was? The person you're replying to identified constraints that prevent him from imagining it - any system for restricting advertisement

What else are we to base opinions on? There is no available data. It doesn't exist. The "data" you're referring to is tripe. To repeat the point you're replying to - a UBI study that examines human behavior from a s

No, I don't think that's fair. There are 2 assumptions in your comment which I think the poster you're replying to is suggesting you should reevaluate: > The food quality is trash, and the prices are so high If these assum

My entire company of 100+ engineers is using cursor on multiple large typescript repos with zero issues. Must be some kind of local setup issue on your end, it definitely works just fine. In fact I've seen consistently more useful &#x2

No, I have not noticed that at all. I see plenty of content that reeks of LLM generation where the ideas expressed in it are ones I agree with. I still don't like to see it.

I have a genuine question for you here dang. In another comment in this thread [1], the poster admitted that he did indeed generate (or at least rephrase) his comment with AI. I didn't find this surprising, and at least a few other peo
