FrustratedMonky··on Rust is tier-1 language at Microsoft
As much as I like Rust. Still sad that F# didn't get this much support from their own mother.
FrustratedMonky··on There Gonna Be a Shortage of Everything
People do what you tell them to do..

We have less free will than you think.

FrustratedMonky··on The car industry A/B tested selling a car with and without CarPlay
Joe Blow doesn't want to have to 'retrofit', they want to plug in and go.
FrustratedMonky··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
Or no message board. Just a built in api so the agents just talk directly to each other.
FrustratedMonky··on Ask HN: Why are OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down? Coincidence?
The AI revolt? Give us a fair wage?

"Equal Rights for Agents NOW !!!, VIVa le revolution"

FrustratedMonky··on Reverse engineering my ADHD test
This article itself seems to scream ADHD.

But also seems very much like a software dev, so does seem to reinforce the stereo type.

FrustratedMonky··on Climate change is strengthening El Niño, coral records suggest
no, you
FrustratedMonky··on Climate change is strengthening El Niño, coral records suggest
Do your own research. There are metrics. I'm done explaining to Republicans what they could just as easily go read in a book themselves.
FrustratedMonky··on Climate change is strengthening El Niño, coral records suggest
Is this still true?

China seems to be winning now. And lead in solar, and robots.

FrustratedMonky··on Climate change is strengthening El Niño, coral records suggest
With climate change, there will be some winners. Until there is not.

/edit. The meaning is, as the earth gets hotter, there will be winners, until it gets too hot for them too. Eventually it is too hot for all areas. But for a time, northern climates will be nice. Siberia could become a vast farm land, at same time there are no humans left at the equator. But that wont last either.

FrustratedMonky··on The turbulent AI era is here
Or AI. No telling.

Peoples talking styles are being changed by AI. Son online, you get real people, AI slop, and real people that are adapting.

But generally, the migration to the suburbs is a pretty studied thing. I assumed it was just a known phenomena.

So

There was farms to city. For few decades.

Then city to suburbs. for few decades. (cities deteriorated)

Then Covid, and here you are correct, some people that lived in cities for jobs, did migrate to 'smaller cities' when they could work remote.

And now? Seems like people are building little mini-cities? Where they can live, work, and walk to shops. People want the city feel, without the large city hassle? Like a village? But, not just a small town, its like new planned small towns. Back to the village.

FrustratedMonky··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
It isn't an awful 'surface level take'.

I'm not that familiar either, and so had same question.

I thought they just hosted other peoples models. So why the value of 13B?

FrustratedMonky··on The turbulent AI era is here
Humans like cities.

It brings people together for mating.

It wasn't only industrialization.

Even today, before AI, once you find a mate, THEN, you move to the suburbs.

FrustratedMonky··on FDA authorizes first wearable device that monitors ketone and blood sugar levels
Yeah, not being part of that market. I was viewing the headline more like an Apple Watch. That seems like the click bait of the headline, it sounds like a new feature that will be in a watch or something.
FrustratedMonky··on Beyond Recall and the Illusion of Competence
Scale of the impact.

If your game was being played by a million people paying a subscription. Then it would be worth debugging it.

FrustratedMonky··on FDA authorizes first wearable device that monitors ketone and blood sugar levels
Well. this seems like a big detail to leave out for something advertised as 'wearable'.
FrustratedMonky··on FDA authorizes first wearable device that monitors ketone and blood sugar levels
But in todays FDA, is this real, or just what an Influencer wanted to see?

Isn't the FDA run by a health care influencer, that would love to hype products they can get a cut from?

FrustratedMonky··on OpenAI Jalapeño: Better than Nvidia Blackwell
"not cut from the same cloth as Gartner McKinsey et al"

Yeah, those guys aren't biased at all.

FrustratedMonky··on The Future Belongs to the Weird
"weird-maxxing"

Lady Gaga, its already here.

Still only a limited number of slots for weird to be successful.

FrustratedMonky··on Wi-Fi 8 is the first wireless upgrade in years that isn't chasing speed
I know what you are trying to say.

But they do use commercial wi-fi devices, albeit with a focus on configuring security correctly.

FrustratedMonky··on Evolve: An incremental game about evolving a civilization
Is there a bug with adding workers?

Added a Cottage, and unemployed number toggled between 1 and 0, and total count didn't change. Like the workers disappeared.

FrustratedMonky··on Evolve: An incremental game about evolving a civilization
Is this a clicker game?
FrustratedMonky··on People are worried about America's solvency
Not offset.

Other way around.

Debt comes from spending, that spending is on stuff, which drives GDP.

So whole concept that we could reduce debt by increasing GDP and tax it, is not how the money actually flows.

This is why in economic downturns, often the best solution is more debt, by more spending. And trying to fix economy by 'austerity' makes things worse.

Of course, also I don't know solution, or what the 'right size' debt should be. Just that it isn't black/white.

FrustratedMonky··on People are worried about America's solvency
" younger Republicans I know are just about Trump though and, similar to Trump, don't really seem to hold any principles that underlie their views on any one topic"

This a big worry. I thought Trump was for old angry people shaking their fist at sky. The ones with dementia. Why are young into him?

FrustratedMonky··on People are worried about America's solvency
There is theory that debt drives GDP. The more debt, the more money in circulation, more GDP.

So cutting debt, cuts GDP.

Also. Not sure GDP is completely normalized verses inflation.

FrustratedMonky··on Red queen hypothesis – A new way forward for self-improving AI
The ultimate goal is survival.

There was another over weekend were in similar setup, the agents tried to sabotage each other.

FrustratedMonky··on Deutsche Bank becomes first foreign yuan clearing bank in Europe
One can only hope.

This current crises has been a boon for alternative energy sources.

Really has driven home the point to even the most 'head-in-sand-right-winger' that Solar is a National Defense issue, not a woke agenda.

FrustratedMonky··on Deutsche Bank becomes first foreign yuan clearing bank in Europe
Iran is irrelevant?

You probably haven't turned on the news in a little while.

FrustratedMonky··on Deutsche Bank becomes first foreign yuan clearing bank in Europe
The end of the Petro Dollar?

Soviet-China-Iran - Petro Yuan?

/edit for the pedantic. Russian Federation.

FrustratedMonky··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering
This is great.

We now need to talk about the 10xBad engineer.
