mrleinad··on Google doesn’t want employees working remotely anymore
That sounds a bit like "I don't want to adapt to this new work environment, please everyone, back to working like it works for me."
mrleinad··on Programming with natural language is going to work (2010)
Doesn't matter if it can. You'll have to know how to do it too. Otherwise, you'll never be able to recognize a good fix from a bad one provided by the AI.
mrleinad··on No Screens Cafe
No customers-and-soon-to-be-out-of-business cafe is more like it.
mrleinad··on WhatsApp on multiple phones feature added
There are some bugs. Contacts that show up in one app doesn't show in the second one. At least that's my experience.
mrleinad··on Ask HN: How many websites, apps or notifications do you look at to “catch-up”?
Care to share the script code?
mrleinad··on The Role of Diet on the Gut Microbiome, Mood and Happiness
Stress is the cause for many illnesses, yes.
mrleinad··on It's not only you, there's an explosion of ChatGPT on HN
You can ask ChatGPT to write you a script that hides those posts for you ;)
mrleinad··on ChatGPT could cost over $700k per day to operate
>> I'm not going to pay 20$/month for something that I can just use for free

Well, it works until it doesn't because the website is overloaded. $20 gets you in through the VIP door and you don't need to wait along with the rest of the peasants.

mrleinad··on AI is taking the jobs of Kenyans who write essays for U.S. college students
They take those jobs for westerners because their local companies pay them shit in comparison.

So this is going to make them poorer and cut an income source for the country as well.

mrleinad··on Understanding Everything
I have the feeling that AI is going to help us get better at connecting different ideas AND be able to implement the connection without having to be a master in every field
mrleinad··on Lessons from America’s astonishing economic record
(fact) Karoshi

I won't claim to know anything else about Japan. Would love to visit, but I'm not sure I'd love to be part of its economy as a salary man.

mrleinad··on Best predictor of professional success isn’t cognitive performance
Title shouldn't have been changed to be so clickbaity.

Real title is: "Daniel Sanabria, psychologist: ‘The best predictor of professional success isn’t cognitive performance, it’s whether your parents have money’"

mrleinad··on Why does a plastic-wrapped turkey sandwich cost $15 at the NYC airport?
Not sure how, without heavily stepping even more on people's privacy and liberty. And I'm not talking about terrorists, but drug smugglers.
mrleinad··on Digital clutter: Learning to let go and stop hoarding terabytes
Thank you for reminding me that I need to duplicate my 15 TB storage, just in case.
mrleinad··on Surviving Burnout (2015)
>> creating space to recover from burnout in one area of my life, while coasting in others, then rotating until I finally had the mental and emotional space to plan my full escape

This has been my experience as well. But I started through an easier path, by working out and improving my health.

mrleinad··on Low Carb Intake Linked to Insulin Resistance
I didn't see any reference to the study, but from the first comment in that video it seems that the doctor said "his body would stop producing insulin" because his blood insulin levels were low? Doesn't sound right to me.

[1]"Prediabetes happens when your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes usually occurs in people who already have some insulin resistance."

So, it doesn't sound right that he would be pre-diabetic when his blood glucose levels would be low. Seems that doctor made the assumption that because his blood insulin was low, his body would just stop producing it at some point, and that's not how it works.

mrleinad··on Samsung workers made a major error by using ChatGPT
> How did they gain access to ChatGPT from their offices?

>> The company allowed engineers at its semiconductor arm to use the AI writer to help fix problems with their source code.

mrleinad··on Maybe we can have a specific tab for submitted contents about GPT and AI
I would settle for some filtering features
mrleinad··on Show HN: Promptr, let GPT operate on your codebase and other useful goodies
He's just saying he won't share the codebase owned by the company he works for on a 3rd party platform without explicit approval from whomever owns it, and he won't just willy-nilly copy-paste snippets from the AI onto said codebase without properly vetting them.

He didn't say anything about ignoring AI. Pretty reasonable if you ask me.

mrleinad··on The Joy of Computer History Books
Dammit, now I'll have to make another order at book depository for all the books y'all mentioned. Thanks for that, guys.
mrleinad··on Show HN: Multi-display screen sharing with CoScreen
Connecting with 2 users would work. I would still need to resize the window I'm sharing (the reason I have that big ass monitor is to use VS maximized and have everything open), but it's easier than resizing all windows.
mrleinad··on Show HN: Multi-display screen sharing with CoScreen
Specifically, I have a 49" ultrawide monitor and a VM in it. If I share the entire VM, other people with smaller monitors see it too small and have to zoom. If I resize the VM, I have to reposition my windows inside it.

It's easier to share a portion of the screen, it's what I do in Zoom. A portion of a window would work too.

mrleinad··on Show HN: Multi-display screen sharing with CoScreen
Is there a way to share a portion of the screen if I want to? Or is it just entire windows?
mrleinad··on AI-enhanced development makes me more ambitious with my projects
"I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see a code generator until I was already a man."
mrleinad··on Iceland long term visa for remote workers
I don't believe that's true.

The only way I can think of that America coerces its citizens to stay, is that you still need to pay income taxes regardless of where you live.

I think the biggest hurdle is the Americans themselves, thinking that living in South America would be like living in a slum, or in the middle of the jungle. I assure you, you'll find a great life living in Buenos Aires, or in many cities within Argentina, that have nothing to envy from many American small cities.

It's not NYC or Dallas, of course. And you'll have to do without many gadgets, and learn to live in a turbulent economy, which can be tough for some people. But the reward is that if you earn USD and spend in ARS, the economy won't touch you at all. It might even make it easier.

If you don't have population growth, you can't replace the old generation fast enough.

Eventually your retirement system will crumble. Not tomorrow, not next year, but maybe a couple decades from now. And it's not something you can fix in a year or two.

mrleinad··on Rice fuels diabetes and climate crises
Kinda, but it's also because China closed the fertilizer exports, and Russia invaded Ukraine and the west is actively boycotting russian fertilizer exports.
mrleinad··on Rice fuels diabetes and climate crises
Exactly. Though if you go a bit deeper, it's more about a fertilizer shortage that will impact many other crops as well.
mrleinad··on Iceland long term visa for remote workers
Third world tourist that earns over 8k per month? Quite a small pool to draw from there.
mrleinad··on Iceland long term visa for remote workers
Which in order to grow, you'd need more people. And they're not canadians, they don't have an easy immigration path for people that want to move in.

In a way, they're pretty japanese.
