I don't think anyone can claim certainty on this either way. My view is that in the past the increases in productivity have come in a period of exponential growth of the software industry and that growth can absorb the additional produ

Yes. Developers who know how to use LLMs are some % faster and more productive. You can increase the % enough so that overall demand for developers goes down or doesn't grow as much as it would have otherwise. It's not "my co

You need something more sophisticated, otherwise it's easy to confuse high skill and/or well memorised lines with cheating. And a good cheater will be smart enough to either use engine assistance only in difficult spots and/o

Kind of embarrassing that he doesn't have the self-awareness especially after the false accusations that he cheated during his WC match and that whole scandal years ago.

You're confusing the general "don't limit yourself to one language" which is good advice, with the specific "OP's problem in the past year has been that they know Java and are looking for Java roles" which

This is bad advice. OP has experience in a popular stack, no way that the language is their problem. They'll have an even more difficult time finding a job if they decide to switch stacks now.

You're grossly overestimating the significance of these businesses - AI startups that integrate with a LLM API are a rounding error in the overall market. They're tiny and there isn't as many of them as you think, nothing lik

LG 24UD58-B - it's cheap, works well with MacOS, obviously not as good as a MacBook Pro display but doesn't look like shit next to it either.

When you talk about something waking up, you're already into science fiction and not talking about anything which exists, or is remotely similar to anything which exists, or is currently being worked on, or attempted in any way.

It seems kind of naive to think that he'll be CEO for long, or if it is for long, that there will be much company left to be a CEO of.

I don't know, way before all of this drama started, the rumors were that he was barely contributing any original or significant ideas to research and the grounbreaking ideas had come from lower level researchers.

Built-in Pydantic validation is nice, I wouldn't call it bloat.

Yes, FastAPI is great for APIs. Django is still more feature rich for actual websites. I don't see a reason to pick Flask for a new project in 2023.

If the accusations by the board are true, that doesn't explain why Brockman and a few of the senior researchers quit as a response to all of this.

You can't directly compare votes on a post from 2023 to a post from 2011 because HN didn't have the same number of users back then.

It's exactly the other way around - if they dismiss him for a vague general reason, they're much less exposed to litigation than they would be if they falsely accused him of lying.

by ps256 3y ago
The abruptness of the firing and the fact that they give his lying to the board as the reason is why I don't believe that this is over a general disagreement on direction.

I don't understand why the moderators allow you to keep posting questions that are clearly bait multiple times a day.

This entirely misses the point of AoC. We already have system-of-systems challenges - they're called work and they're not as fun as the self-contained whimsical puzzles that are AoC.

I don't know if it's possible logistically but the best option is to stay at your job and finish the CS degree on the side. A second bachelors degree won't add anything positive to your resume, it might raise some red flags t
