Nope, not snark. You can’t believe that you’re better than everyone else and everyone else is incompetent and still function in society.

If you do then you probably have an undiagnosed mental illness.

I can’t tell if you seriously think a random person writing code in their basement is equivalent to a company that has access to API docs, design specs, actual test hardware, the expertise of a ton of engineers that have worked on the project and understand how it can go wrong, not to mention all the regulations and verifications they’re subject to.

But if you do then wow. That really puts in perspective the kind of people that use hacker news. I’m gonna be more selective about who I bother replying to going forward.

You can’t honestly believe that or you wouldn’t be able to function in society.

Definitely not the untested code I wrote myself!

Are you kidding me? How many times have you unwillingly introduced bugs into a code base you didn’t fully understand? That’s basically table stakes for software engineering.

You can just pay more to have the old experience. Economy plus is what you used to get 20 years ago, and business is way more affordable than it used to be.

I’d rather have a cheap flight and spend my money at my destination though.

These guys made a constitution that says all men are free, except for slaves and women because they’re obviously not men. This led to a civil war just a couple decades later. I think it’s pretty clear that they didn’t really know what they were doing. In fact, that’s why they gave you the tools to change the laws of the country.

I’ve done both those things! Your obsession with what some half dead geezers from 300 years ago is a huge part of what makes the country a horrible place to live and a horrible influence on the world

If that was the case then you should wonder what Descartes would think. What Derrida or Baudrillard would think. We both know it’s not about that though.

I think you should try to decide for yourself what to make of the situation instead of wondering what some ancient dead old dudes would think.

And studies find that that 20x is actually a 0.8x

Love to set up a straw man just to knock it down right after. Feels great every time. Then I go to hacker news and read then comments.

I guess “kill all jews” is culture war drama now

Ok, but not all managers are good and not all situations are navigable.

Nobody said anything about poorly organized docs. Reading well structured and organized complex material is immensely difficult. Anyone who’s read Hegel can attest to that.

And yet I wouldn’t trust a single word coming out of the mouth of someone who couldn’t understand Hegel so they read an AI summary instead.

There is value in struggling through difficult things.

Except none of us have a master teaching and verifying our knowledge on how to use a library. And AI doesn’t do that either.

I disagree. In my experience AI does most of the work and the juniors already poor skills atrophy. Then a senior engineer has to review AI slop and tell the junior to roll the AI dice again.

It’s actually very deniable. Check this out i’m gonna do it now. AI has been a net negative to my life. Boom, denied.

Would it be wrong to refuse to hire a neonazi? What kind of people do you think your organization will attract if you start hiring neonazis?

This is such a terrible article.

Comparing India and Indonesia to China and Japan is like comparing Mexico and Brazil to Canada the US.

Just because they’re in the same continent doesn’t mean they’re comparable.

If that was the case that means Firefox is already an AI browser. But he wouldn’t be talking about AI browsers if he planned on maintaining the current features and approach, would he?

It’s easy to claim neutrality when it’s other people being oppressed

If you were about to hire a candidate and then found out that they donate regularly to the “Arrest kbelder and deport them to El Salvador” fund, would you hire them?

The point is that the organization is bloated because of the search money.

The sustainable way forward for Mozilla is to fire most of their staff, keep a reasonable number of engineers, and focus on building a solid privacy focused browser instead of trend chasing like they’re doing now. Reduce operational costs and live off of the profits on their investments.

Exactly what about that is magical thinking?

I’m not exactly surprised that AI grifters that have probably bet all their life savings on nvidia “love” their AI browsers.

Yes, tools have used machine learning, nobody is questioning or denying that.

But that’s not what the CEO of mozilla means when he says he will turn Firefox into an AI browser.

It means there will be stupid fucking LLMs shoved in your face.

Stop blurring the lines, google translate using machine learning has nothing to do with turning firefox into an ai browser

No it doesn’t. The meaning of that phrase has changed. Almost nobody uses the original meaning anymore. Update your dictionary.

Oh, alright, I guess we just need to overthrow capitalism and install a different economic system

Alright Australian lawmakers, you heard the man, chop chop!

Oh yeah, it was a joke. derp moment. To be fair it’s hard to tell with the crypto grifters sometimes.

I don’t know if you’re just old and out of touch or just being facetious so I’m not gonna bother explaining to you in detail why you’re wrong, but fyi there’s these things called part time jobs and internships people do in university so they have money.
