>> I'm in the highest percentiles of income in Sweden (public data is available) and it doesn't matter. It's basically impossible for me to afford a house / apartment for my family in the best neighborhoods.

How is that possible? I am an immigrant who moved to Sweden at age 22, and I bought an apartment in Malmo after 2 years of savings in the center of Malmo. I wasn't in the top percentile, didn't get help from anyone else. It was entirely my own savings within that 2 years.

Maybe you shouldn't aim for center of Stockholm for your first home purchase...

after that story...I am afraid to google accumulation of heavy water...what's that.

I have so many questions >> what does it mean to fully grok the optimal? >> what is the iterated prisoners dilemma?

I would love to hear opinions from LLM experts. But I have a feeling they may not be able to update the model, at a fundamental level, so easily by live feedback.

Based on what I have been reading, training the core model is a work of statistical analysis on how often words follow each other. This produces a graph tree of words.

Now how do you re-evaluate the entire graph based on a single additional feedback without actually retraining the entire model with the said feedback (because it is costly, and result wouldn't be immediate, unless you're thinking of injecting the input as an initial condition to the readily trained model)

Same here, and the account switcher doesn't work.

Existential crisis averted by another existential crisis... :D

Open...Confidential bold letters...join waiting list.

When did English language change so much? I can't keep up as a foreigner anymore.

>What is this, if not appeal to authority?

It is extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence, or experience/proven competence.

>And this seems to be, "follow the crowd".

And this seem to be, reactionary.

That was my immediate thought.

1.Step: Write code to simulate freefall of an object

It shows the sad state of professional consideration in this thread, that I had to scroll down so far to see someone mention job-prospect aspect of tech-stack choices.

Just so everyone is aware, the guy is not an expert in web development. Neither is he a frontend engineer.

When this hit pieces some against an entire tech-stack, always check the author's job, past expereince.

Our industry has not matured enough to split into expertise areas into solid titles, and grow respect for those titles just yet. As the author's title points it out very clearly as "Software Engineer".

Try getting a Job in any sizeable company by building your entire experience with HTML and tell me how it goes.

Yeah, it did make me think "are ulcers entirely caused by ulcers?"

what's the answer here?

There is a youtube channel which does a whole variety of mechanical contraptions, and it is absolutely impossible to tell if it is real from the videos.

I cannot remember it unfortunately, but the youtuber had to show some background footage to convince people those weren't fake.

I am really glad to come across this comment. As another european, I am shocked at the reaction to this regulation. But then again, HN is mostly an american community.

History does NOT NECESSARILY repeat itself.

is burning plastic actually an exothermic reaction?

Nokia, brand, has been milked to the brim at this point...

Dude, you literally took his words out of context to disagree. Both of you are making the same point.

This, and remote working. People need to understand how capitalism works. Value extraction always comes back around in your final bill.

None will give you that extra day without eventually adjusting the salary. This is not a predatory action, but how markets work.

You can already observe this by comparing salaries offered by fully-remote jobs and on-site jobs.

Large-scale immediate query-ability.

>> Yet it seems obvious from where I'm standing

First of all, You've never worked at a corporation? Sounds like it. Corporate politics can easily eat-up an individual influence on the direction a product goes. Especially when you're judging long periods of time, like entire history of Oculus from the looks of it.

Second of all, go read his public rant after resigning. you will find answers there.

I am not screaming marketing bots. Another commenter pointed that out, and I wouldn't rule it out. It is a possibility I can entertain. But not really screaming marketing bots.

I think it is headline-bias. I don't know if it is the right word for it. The positive headline attracts the people who think positively about it.

Go check Steam Deck reviews on reddit, steam forums, reviews, Youtube reviews.

The Internet is full of disgruntled users.

I have been in tech long enough to know, this will be another device forgotten in 2 years and make it to landfill in less than 5.

I think the same. It may be headline-bias though. I hope dang and the mods are looking into the potential marketing bot army on this thread. Because the opinion here is extremely biased compared to anywhere else. I wanted to buy a Steam Deck myself, and I have never found a barrage of such positive opinion anywhere else, even on Steam reviews and forums.

But then again, I would like to say, it is most likely headline-bias. It is attracting people who like the thing, and pushing away those who hate it.

I hate how headlines shape the bias of the discourse in every given thread nowadays online.

I was thinking of buying a Steam Deck, but my investigations, Steam reviews have shown it is not really that good.

But going through the comments here, it feels like I am walking through a ChatGPT-botnet army.

I believe it has to do with the headline attracting type of person who is happy with Steam Deck and pushes away any other type.

30 years old, engineer here. I am starting to get really scared. I don't mean that for my job security.

We are just starting to observe societal effects of social media. We haven't reached the era where we, as an entire species, recognise and regulate it impacts legally & properly.

I am starting to feel like we are losing it against the machine as a species. I don't fear being replaced, but I feel the culture getting mangled in a way we won't be able to recover some things, because it will be too late.

It is not a ring-wing, left-wing political thing. But some sort of innovator's dilemma. We are like cornering ourselves into an innovator's dilemma as a species.

Imagine training a GPT on your own whatsapp/fb/instagram/linked/emails conversations: all the conversations, posts. A huge part of our life is already happening online, and the conversations with it. It is not too much work to simply take that data and retrain GPT.

holy sh*t. that's so true! that could definitely be possible.

Not even factual trivia

Palantir, not a big tech giant, but a tech giant for sure.
