"Anyone who disagrees with me is a junior engineer."

Just because a new feature can't always easily be slipped into old codebases doesn't make it a bad feature.

Figma raised $1.2B in their IPO. Total shares listed != money raised, not by a long shot. Most shares are just to give liquidity to existing shareholders of the company.

If I had to, I would pay just to live away from that select group.

Couldn't you just not live "lakeside"?

You're not forced to use credit cards irresponsibility to benefit from the credit score boost they provide.

> Weird strawman

Comparing abortions to harvesting organs from cloned humans? I agree, definitely a weird strawman.

> Whereas adderall is not technically addictive

I don't think I've ever heard someone claim that Adderall isn't addictive.

> use of amphetamines and stimulants such as Adderall can result in tolerance and physiological dependence and can lead to the development of a substance use disorder. Misuse of prescription stimulants such as Adderall for any reason (e.g., to improve academic performance, reduce the effects of other drugs, etc.) is associated with both substance use disorders and use of other substances.

"So what’s really happening? Here’s what I found." Followed by a hard paywall.

They were founded 6 months ago, have no product, yet are purported to be worth $12B? I mean ... Come on.

Can you share some reputable coverage of this event? I can't find much mention of it anywhere. What were some specific responses that had "inserted leftist ideology"?

Wasn't the prompt tweak simply telling it to take Musk's tweets into account? If anything, the result was entirely predictable.

In the US it's not uncommon to have a $200k base. Not even taking into account stock compensation and benefits, you'd need to command about $400/hr contracting to fit your 4x figure. Does that sound comparable to your setup?

> in the end your output is significantly increased.

The claim you're arguing against is that AI will replace software engineering as a discipline. Seems like you're instead saying that it will increase developer productivity, which no one disagrees with.

I'd love to get access to codebases made entirely with agentic coding that people deem a success. Everything they've suggested for me beyond trivial work has been wildly overcomplicated.

Anyone who knows anything about software and has used AI for more than 24 hours knows that AI won't be "replacing" software engineering anytime soon.

Some of them literally think destroying the planet is a good thing because it'll prompt the rapture.

Usually by leaving and working somewhere else.

> I haven't heard from that dude who comments on everything with that he and his family only eat beef for a while

Didn't know Jordan Peterson was on HN.

Also worth noting that "Dr" Pete McCullough had all of his board certifications revoked in 2021 for constantly spreading Covid misinformation.

It blows me away that there can be a consensus of hundreds/thousands of researchers on something, and one person (with a history of mis/disinformation) comes along with a counter narrative, and certain people will point at that one person as proof that everyone else is wrong or "on the take."

You're suggesting that thinking HIV does not cause AIDS is "common sense skepticism"?

Not really a uniquely American thing. Not even a uniquely Western, nor uniquely "first world" activity.

> Considering the current political climate and rampant government cuts to important services

Not to mention rampant anti-intellectualism

> especially in the US on the AM bands.

That sort of show is still alive and well in the US, it's just moved from AM to podcasts.

Cool, but these are all static images. Is there a way to turn these into animations, including stuff like rotation (player looking forward, player turned around, etc.)

Seems perfectly readable to me, and I haven't used Java professionally in over a decade. What specifically do you find problematic?

That's what a smart contract is meant to represent, and they get taken advantage of every single day.

Probably one of the only people in the country.

It's not too uncommon for retail stores to match Amazon, as long as it's specifically both "sold by Amazon" and "shipped by Amazon". Best Buy does too, for example.

This has been my experience as well. The biggest problem is that the answers look plausible, and only after implementation and experimentation do you find them to be wrong. If this happened every once in a while then it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'd guess that more than half of the answers and tutorials I've received through ChatGPT have ended up being plain wrong.

God help us if companies start relying on LLMs for life-or-death stuff like insurance claim decisions.

I use one, and I love it. I'd probably continue to use it (or something like it) even if my apnea was cured. Breathing purified, warmed, perfectly humidified air piped directly to my nose is wonderful.
