Imagine if he stays and obtains some critical information that later happens to get leaked. You're now a prime suspect for the leak, possibly facing charges of something like treason. I think leaving was the wise choice.

How I used to dream of a technology that would one day enable this. Kudos on your release!

It's a flimsy argument for sure. But we live in a reality where Meta, Google and other past bastion of progressive movements have taken a 180 turn upon Trump's first week of reign. Is it that much of a stretch to assume that a large swath of DEI champions around us were just parroting performative mantras?

Maybe hypocrites are pretty obvious to spot for you. It's not as easy for me. I was shocked to find many of my peers turn their noses at DEI policies and act as if they've always been against it.

Bandwagoners are going to bandwagon. I personally don't see much use in labelling them as anything else.

Fatalities due to automobile accidents are a major drag. We should've stuck with horses

I don't know if people who will readily accuse others of racism as a tool of retribution can be considered genuinely serious about their DEI endorsement.

Now with the winds changing directions under Trump administration 2.0, the same people are probably already denouncing their past and jumping onto the "DEI is bad" bandwagon.

Is this just pedantry or is there some insight to be gleaned by the distinction you made?

AI is quickly blurring the line between makers and curators.

If the next wave of advancement in logo-generating AI will allow us to converse with it meaningfully and work with it as a creative director might work with her associate designer, is it really a fatal flaw that the AI is not able to conjure up an editable PSD file? Is it really necessary that the AI produce a pile of sketches that led to the final product instead of working backwards from the final design to fake a trail of inspirations?

As curators we still need to slow down and take our time to ensure that the design we select is a good fit for whatever requirements we're working towards. I don't think a blazing fast AI necessarily erases that or takes that option away from us.

If Biden created a branch of the government called "Freedom, Liberty, and Happiness for America" with enormous funding and filled it with his allies and sycophants with dubious goals, would you say its critics are "against freedom and liberty"? Why would anyone be opposed unless you hate America?

I spent the last few months interviewing at various bay area startups for senior SE roles. About half of them wanted references. This was my experience so YMMV

Not an Apple user here. What's changed? Can you share more details about what made them "dogshit"?

I was confused at first because I misread the title as referring to Valve's Steam Deck, which is a portable gaming PC

When will we start holding magic 8 balls accountable? It confidently told me to go divorce my wife!

Being in an AI domain does not invalidate the fundamental logic. If an expensive tool can make you productive enough to offset the cost, then the tool is worth it for all intents and purposes.

When you highlight only the negatives, yeah it does sound like no one should hire that intern. But what if the same intern happens to have an encyclopedia for a brain and can pour through massive documents and codebases to spot and fix countless human errors in a snap?

There seems to be two camps: People who want nothing to do with such flawed interns - and people who are trying to figure out how to amplify and utilize the positive aspects of such flawed, yet powerful interns. I'm choosing to be in the latter camp.

For you, the question is theoretical. For me, I've lived it.

Before I transitioned into software, I had a very a fulfilling life being paid a mediocre salary as a graphic designer, supporting my family for years and investing plenty of time and money into my hobbies.

I don't know how to convince you of the very real experience I and many others here are having, and I don't really feel like it's a good use of my time. Feel free to keep holding onto your theories.

Are you saying that for people making median level of income, the US is a horrible place to live compared to the rest of the world?

As someone who was able to experience both perspectives (immigrated to the US and became a citizen) I cannot agree at all with this statement.

The original unedited post included theories about the current president being a political transplant to secretly bring down the Korean right.

Please note that this is not a majority sentiment in Korea. This is a fringe conspiracy theory popular among the 4chan-like crowd in SK.

Edit: It looks like the parent post was updated to remove the conspiratorial stuff. The sole fact listed is indeed true.

I think the old way works well for a smaller scale app that doesn't need to change often. Otherwise, I find the components-based code reuse to be a pretty valuable pattern, especially when working as a team.

Valve still knows how to make excellent games. Deadlock is a Valve game in alpha, and I think it's going to be very popular once released.

I'm confused. Do you not trust any mainstream media? Where do you get your news? World and local? Eyewitness accounts only?

... Most of them?

Do you read the news at all? If you can't trust any of them, then why even bother?

Your argument seems to be that the majority of the world are the weak being sacrificed but are too ignorant to realize it. I wholeheartedly disagree with this theory.

The problem is that sports gambling introduces conflicting interests. It's one thing to coast and collect paychecks, it's a whole another thing for a player to actively sabotage their own team.

I wanted to make sure I understood which side of the equation I fell on. And I must say, it looks to me like a lot of people in the "weak" camp aren't helpless martyrs though, myself included. People are excited and enthusiastic about AI and are actively reaping the benefits of progress. I don't think your analogy is quite apt.

AI has given us an infinitely patient mentor, teacher, and conversation partner. AI has freed us from of many areas of rote work requiring basic reasoning capacity. AI has allowed people with little to no coding abilities to realize their ideas as working prototypes. AI has lowered the communication barrier between parties with different primary languages.

What about programmers? I never consented to have my code consumed by LLMs.

How has the Internet? How has automobiles? Feels like a rather aimless question.

Who are the weak being "sacrificed"?

And who is the one calling for action?

Sorry for being dense, but I'm trying to understand if I'm the "strong" or the "weak" in your analogy.

Not necessarily. Some people are just less sensitive to latency, so even if a 20ms added delay might not be noticeable to you, it doesn't mean that other people won't feel it.
