What do you think of the long term viability of the two careers?

That free market is going to explode when the AI bubble bursts.

Maybe if English is your first language it does.

This is the future of software, sloppy ui.

Eh, better than the capitalist dystopia that is the US in the 21st century.

I checked their whole site, it's all capitalised this way.

It's definitely... unique?

That's really cool, thanks for sharing!

This can't be real?

Have you seen San Francisco right now?

You're forgetting the part where he is a near majority shareholder in spacex, so half of the profit made on your dollar spend winds up benefiting him personally.

Dan Luu is a bit famous around HN.

I think he might subscribe to the philosophy of everyone should style websites however they like and not be prescribed by the author.

Like how opus 4.7 or so started talking about the 'seam' between different things.

If that's the case I might reappraise flutter!

They still haven't got native scrolling perfect for iOS. I used a big name app just today and I could instantly tell without looking it up that it was a flutter app, because the scrolling felt non-native.

I've hallucinated with fevers before, and they do feel surprising that you swear you are awake, but perhaps you're really in a twilight between awake and asleep and the dreams break through.

They also have to remember where roadwork is/was and what kind of traffic is best/worst at a given time.

There's a fantastic Tom Scott video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWREtcDVBE

For us in Australia it's uncontrolled right turns, and it is absolutely infuriating that many journeys would be temporally shorter if the route waited longer for the turn at an intersection with lights. Google Maps would almost surely have this data. It's been like this for at least a decade.

>As a consumer, the last things I want in an interface are to a) be sycophantic enough to lessen my judgment

This is EXACTLY what people like/are addicted to about chatbots.

My sister-in-law bombed an interview and asked AI about her answers to the interviewer's questions, chatgpt or whatever it was told her that her answers weren't bad, but that the interviewer could not see the gold in her responses. She said she felt much better.

I see this effect with all the non-tech people in my life

Lol well make that the headline!

I sometimes think that passionate nerds love their niche so much they forget that other people might not have the foggiest of what they're talking about.

Happens on github README.md files all the time.

What is a fantasy console? Is this just software? If it's just software, is the fantasy console some kind of meta game or emulator?

It's not clear at all.

If you couldn't bother writing it, I can't be bothered reading it.

>America is the Greatest Country on Earth

Yeah ok mate. Have a good one.

What an odd world view. Of course the priviliged have greater social obligations, because they are greater benefactors of life. We're all equal under the law but that doesn't mean that those with greater means shouldn't have greater impacts on society.

Meritocracy is often a buzzword of the elite to avoid paying their fair share.

Sounds like you're in AU, I will point out that trades are not looked down on at all in this country. In fact culturally we value chippies and sparkies higher than desk jockeys.

You owe society more than nothing, otherwise you end up with a sick society.

Go on, spill some more tea..

I realise you're joking, but crypto is now a heavily regulated industry, the KYC/AML requirements are no-joke and non-compliance will get the company's licences in a given country/state terminated.

For the end user it looks like an evil cash-grab, but really it's the company protecting itself from regulatory vengeance.

Fusion power is proven to be possible.

AGI is not.

What an absolute joke that it has taken GitHub this long to clean up it's act when it comes to supply chain security.

Which did you enjoy serving on more? Submariners apparently eat better than anywhere else on the navy, but also don't get any sunlight for 6 months?
