People have an aversion to the word "eugenics" because it's often connected to atrocity propaganda from World War II. I'm not suggesting that every country should have genetic purity tests and policies on the level of Is

I understand where they're coming from, but I believe it comes from a place of local and specific concern (the child with Down's syndrome) and not the wider impact. The way I think about it; 10-20% of known pregnancies (and a larg

Dating apps and services with a beauty/salary standard and long prison sentences for the worst criminals are also a form of eugenics. Many kinds of societal and political changes have a eugenic or dysgenic effect on the population, and

I agree that it's not a great study, but I also don't want to find out too late that it wasn't a good idea to outsource my thinking to ChatGPT.

Looks fantastic! I run somewhat regularly and enjoy it, but would never make it my primary form of exercise due to the high impact stress on the body and relatively high injury rate compared to other solo forms of exercise. What made you de

Yeah, great, but also completely irrelevant. Is every post on Hacker News related to AI in any way a place to post anecdotes about AI?

This post is about a specific, complex system that stretches from operating system to the physical world, as well as some philosophical problems. What you're describing is a dead simple hobby project that could be completed by a comple

Every step in the process is a filter. You can ask them not to use AI and trust, you can ask them what tools they used (including AI) and for what part, you can ask the candidate to screen record them programming their solution and forbid u

As a hirer, the kind of takehome assignment I like to give is one that: * Can be completed in 30 minutes by a skilled programmer * Has clear evaluation criteria, both objective and subjective * Has multiple approaches that require making di

Technology shapes humanity. Cars preclude roads, roads shape cities, the shape of car-first cities has fundamentally changed how humans interact. The same is true for any technology to an extent. Whether for better or worse that depends on

In fact, assume the opposite unless you have a reason to assume otherwise (aka a close personal relationship). Giving strangers/businesses that you have no connection to the benefit of the doubt when they harm you is a good way to get

I've been using no capitalization on short messages in chat for more than 20 years (and still do), but an entire article written in the style makes it harder to read. It's funny that the author believes in syntax highlighting for
