As stated in the sibling comment, management is very similar to engineering.

This is such a simplistic view I have difficulties deciding where to even start. Think of a manager as someone who engineers the fabric of the organization. Most of my time is spent debugging, communicating, finding the right abstractions,

Not everything in life is a transactional zero-sum game. We as society can afford people to work on beauty, without anything else in return. I'd even argue that this should be one of mankind's ultimate goals.

This doesn't sound like a serious question

Thanks for sharing! This all sounds good, but like another poster said, most of it can be experienced without killing other humans / oppressing other countries. Seems like a huge sacrifice just to have fun.

What's so great about the army? To me, it appears to be one of the most unethical occupations one could have.

You are a disgrace calling this genocide "self-defense". Seriously. Denying civilians access to fresh water, ambushing ambulances and now blaming the victims? This is utterly disgusting.

This is not the point OP wanted to make, and you seem smart enough to understand that.

Unfortunately, I get terribly tired and brain-fogged from even small quantities. Anyone else experienced this?

You can't be serious.

So you're saying that life isn't a farce? Or that it is, and poor people don't ponder it? Just expressing disapproval of rich people?

Unfortunately no. It's my inference, given that 23andme didn't find any genetic indicator (CYP1A2) for slow metabolism, which is in line with my experience I got more sensitive over time. So it must be some other mechanism that di

You're right, unfortunately. How naive of me to think that at least the HN audience would care.

Please consider the ethical aspects of giving money to OpenAI versus alternatives.

It's less about the strength of coffee than about your metabolism. I used to be unaffected by caffeine, and now it takes a few sips in the morning to mess with my sleep in the evening - sth that started happening in my twenties I belie

I've been struggling with early waking for a few months, and recently experienced improvements by meditating before bed. Have you ruled out sleep apnea?

I wouldn't hold it against anyone wishing my great grandfather shouldn't have existed for playing a minor role in Nazi Germany. Altman is in cahoots with a government that just a few days ago threatened to end a whole civilization

I'd try to strike a good balance between CS fundamentals to teach students how to think and solve problems rigorously and patiently, and soft/leadership skills such as nonviolent communication, project management, business analysi

Do you think there's enough such opportunities that we'll all be able to pay our rents?

Which model is being used? Is there an unrestricted open weight model that could be used?

This is amazing! Having no knowledge of Basic, a.) what makes the rewrite "impossible"? b.) how do coding agents perform on the codebase? It might make for a neat benchmark similar to ARC

The issue is that you're doing lot, but not saving the planet. What do you think is happening with the efficiency gains? You're making rich people richer and helping AI to become an integral (i.e. positive ROI from business perspe

And the consequence of burning more tokens, of course, is more widespread adoption, weaving AI more deeply into the fabric of our reality.
