It’s more that software books ruin your brain and make you incapable of enjoying good literature. Same for existentialism which you fled into out of despair from working in and reading about software. It is a hollow and empty profession tha

“We are no better than machines, I guess.” Well, our minds aren’t but we have legs and arms which is cool. But maybe that will change too.

Stan Ulam has a great book discussing his worry about the change in research environments pre-wwII vs post-WWII. Before the war, they’d sit in cafes and draw in tables and just sit and think sometimes as a group. After they would meet in of

I just talk to an LLM like it’s a person who is smart, meaning I expect it to be confidently wrong now and then but I don’t have to worry about hurting its feelings. They are remarkably similar to people, though others seems to not think th

lol this thread is amazing. Hacker news is truly a place filled with confidently wrong smart people. Showed this to my wife, a barista in Seattle, and she asked me why I go to this stupid fucking site. I wasn’t able to give a good answer ot

Oh I thought the worst would be the brand gets even worse promotion and goes even more in the tank in the public’s eye. Somehow.

Tech companies are cheap as shit and most programmers are very subservient. Open source won’t go anywhere, I’d bet in there being more open source projects than less in a years time.

The fuck are you taking about? They can’t even fill the seats with the demographic bomb hitting. Dude, populations change. Therefore they have demand and supply they meet. I don’t care for the system for other reasons but discriminatory? Ge

lol. Imagine realizing in 2025 twitter is broken trash. If you think your feed worked before, you’re a fool and lying to yourself. Fools everywhere, as far the eye can see. Fools as CEOs. Fools as engineers. The amount of foolery in the wor

Coders aren’t engineers, they are just bit bureaucrats. Everything in this post isn’t engineering, it’s autism.

What better way to increase the hyperreality needed to sell products then to have you in the ad! But also this is HN, so someone needs tk lecture you on “what you mean” and also remind you it’s their product you used and signed up for and

If you want to see how shallow and utterly stupid anyone in tech is that has money, read this post. It is golden. I was doubled over laughing at the DOGE part. What a chud. And they say the rich know how to use capital. No, they don’t. They

Feel bad for the author. This was clearly an information pump. They just wanted info from them. That’s it. Of course google lies. Of course they steal. It’s Google and it’s not 2007 anymore. Don’t trust them. Don’t engage with them. They ju

Cool. Im underwater and have zero help an open source progect and AI has been crucial in saving some of the little sanity I have left. These things rule if you just speak with them and don’t use it like a moron or regular computer. Maybe on

Gödel had great respect for their work and was considered one of only a few people at the time to have read and understood the work. He wrote an entire paper later in life explaining he wouldn’t have come to his result without Principia bec

Serious question to any teachers: are any schools embracing LLMs and teaching classes on how to use them and make or tune a model? I see lots of pearl clutching and usually the solution is to learn about the thing people are scared of, is t

Maybe we should add some more classes and another 10-20k on top of what we charge them already to fix the problem. Surely that will work.

I don’t know. It seems like a total mess to me and everyone deeply immersed in it a broken person. Horrible science. Horrible. Look how broken the society is when everyone gets a computer. Awful. Just awful. But can’t stop what’s coming, bu

I used to do this for a living and went on to work for a splunk partner. This company was run like ass from an inside perspective. Made me realize how most of Splunk isn’t for making things secure, it’s to bring your insurance premiums down

I think he misrepresents Russell and also Godel in ways. I enjoyed the book when I was young and it did launch my interest in logic but reading Godel’s personal writings, he had great respect for Russell and literally wrote in a paper defen

Oh good, a FP post. I love watching people argue over nothing. Here’s the actual rule, do what works and ships. Don’t posture. Don’t lament. Don’t idealize. Just solve the fucking problem with the tool and method that fits and move on. And

All good points. Problem is, they didn’t attribute after the copy. And that’s literally all they had to do. Now they stand in violation of that license which I admit I don’t know what that means, but it probably isn’t good. I mean, how do y

You are not kept in the dark. This is not 2016. If you use these companies you know good and god damn well what they are doing. Grow up and take responsibility for using them, or delete your data and get off. Zero sympathy in 2024 for peopl
