code_for_monkey··on Tesla is heading into multi-billion-dollar iceberg of its own making
Musk is a con man, he'd accept money for bus tickets to Mars.

America is run by sham companies with con man ceos. Look at the president! He is one. The federal government does the kind of crypto pump and dumps you'd expect to see being run on snapchat. Of course no one is holding Musk's feet to the fire.
code_for_monkey··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I feel the AI would've used more words? Maybe? I feel like spotting AI writing is more of a gut feeling for me these days, more so than something I can describe.

code_for_monkey··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
the US is currently ruled by a known pedophile rapist and still people feel comfortable looking down at other places. We shouldnt be part of the modern world!
code_for_monkey··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
who are we going to believe, international nuclear warhead investigators or your gut impulse?
code_for_monkey··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
Iran should be allowed to have a nuke

code_for_monkey··on AI Startup Founders Tout a Winning Formula–No Booze, No Sleep, No Fun
I know a guy who quit alcohol and was amazed by his weight loss, I asked how much he was drinking and he said "normal amount, 5 or 6 a night"

Thats a lot! For most people quitting alcohol is not going to give that level of boost, even close to it.

I've seen Mad Men, those guys were pretty successful.

I am sick to death of founder propaganda like this, none of them actually work this much. 'No Booze' i believe, all of them do psychedelics and designer drugs now anyways. I would love if it a single reporter asked the obvious question in all of this "If the AI is so good, how come you have to work this 20 hour monster days?" the AI is both a mega machine capable of doing every persons job and somehow this doesnt lead to reduced work hours or increased output for anyone? Im not buying it.
code_for_monkey··on Amazon has mostly sat out the AI talent war
I've been taking heat for years for making fun of the metaverse. I had hopeful digital landlords explain to me that theyll be charging rent in there! Who looked at that project and thought it was worth anything?

all of those are basically true for every big tech company
code_for_monkey··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
what happened to the metaverse??? I thought we finally had legs!

Seriously why does anyone take this company seriously? Its gotta be the worst of the big tech, besides maybe anything Elon touches, and even then...

it is when youre wrong

Actually I think Zohrans policy is the same as the one enacted in Massachussetss in 2022, the 'millionaires tax'. Its provided 2 billion to the state and theres still more millionaires in the state than there was when it was implemented. I hope we do this in NYC!
code_for_monkey··on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC's Tech Scene Is Not
I think a lot of people in the 'less than a billion' range probably understand that raising the floor of the quality of life in the place they live is a net boon for everyone and that they wont really miss the extra couple thousand a year they pay in to make that happen. The problem really always seems to be the ultra-hyper-mega-wealthy.
code_for_monkey··on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC's Tech Scene Is Not
rent control is a huge part of New York City, and has been around for ages. Hasn't been so bad for it, last I checked city is still doing pretty good.

they dont even know what it means, its just the big scary word.
code_for_monkey··on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC's Tech Scene Is Not
Zohran's run one of the smartest, most focused campaigns Ive ever seen. Honestly at this point his competition is in a race to the bottom, I'd say most NY'ers, even the millionaires, like him. It seems most of the people with issues with him are billionaires or people that live in the suburbs.

damn did a front end engineer hook up with your wife? What did I do to you?
code_for_monkey··on Scientific fraud has become an 'industry,' analysis finds
one of the core tenets of capitalism is the profit motive, its a central piece of it: the idea that people innovate and create and labor for the expected reward of a pile of money, but so much of tech actually bucks this idea between open source projects and public funded initiatives (maybe not as relevant for app based coding, but the space race was pretty important for technology overall.)
code_for_monkey··on Things that helped me get out of the AI 10x engineer imposter syndrome
I find it so weird how many engineers seem positively giddy to get replaced by a chatbot that functionally cannot do the job. Ill help your molotovs as a service startup, free guillotine with every 6th order.

If capitalism destroys the world that seems like a good reason to try an alternative, comrade!
