and around and around we'll go again!

Schmoozers learned grit and grind? That's opposite of my experience and observations.

What role do you play in the educational neglect? I am not sure I understand the decline here.

AI probably generated all of that and the OP didn't even review its output.

RIP, end of an era. Thank you everyone who worked on this, it was an extraordinarily useful and reliable project.

Aren't all these transactions checked by a human after the fact? IIRC I interviewed someone who worked on this and thats what they said.

Contrary to the OP, there is a useless chatbot on the Amazon homepage ("Rufus" sparkle button).

ANPRs are very popular and common in the EU. More so than in the US, even.

I don't want to deal with prompt injection attacks leading to being swatted. That's where all this reporting to the authorities is leading and it's not looking fun.

> Is being dead better, or is having complete privacy better? Or does it depend?

I know you're being provocative, but this feels like a false dichotomy. Mental health professionals are pro-privacy AND have mandatory reporting laws based on their best judgement. Do we trust LLMs to report a suicidal person that has been driven there by the LLM itself?

LLMs can't truly be controlled and can't be designed to not encourage mentally ill people to kill themselves.

> Mentally ill people trying to use an LLM for therapy

Yes indeed this is one of the core problems. I have experimented with this myself and the results were highly discouraging. Others that don't have the same level of discernment for LLM usage may mistake the confidence of the output for a well-trained therapist.

Or maybe I just want to be able to talk to an LLM without worrying about if its going to report me to the authorities.

Anduril employees think they're Tony Stark, but they're just cranking out cheap shit that kills people. America's enemies or whatever.

The employees seem to be laboring under the idea they're a family and the author sure seems to think so, but the 10% desired attrition rate and the weeks without sleep is really just an indicator they're expendable resources. They don't love you like that, man.

Some very accomplished and smart people are also huge narcissists. They read something like that AI drivel and go "yeah thats me to a T" without a hint of irony.

Nothing to see here. Move right along. I'm sure one or two or a handful of repeated incidents don't represent a trend or potential for future fuck-ups.

What is DOGE even doing now? Can we get some status reports on what the DOGE employees are doing every week since they're such proponents of radical accountability?

They also aren’t building anything worthwhile. Just a lot of agentic slop with zero users. No users, no valuable data, who cares?

I’ve read his writing for years, and he knows how to express things that feel real and true to me. However the skill of writing for a broad audience doesn’t mean you are more effective in your specific job or company.

It can be true that Lethain is an excellent writer and also a job hopper who doesn’t bear the consequences of his decisions.

What are the chances that a Bybit insider is behind this?

I had the same thought. 72kb of JS dependencies from some CDN to render that "raw HTML". If you are going to claim to be a purist, try actually being one first.

I could never get into shrubs because the vinegar smell was overpowering. They tasted fine-ish, but no thank you.

What is the fiasco of Mackenzie Bezos? I have read about her yearly donations, but I am not aware of a controversy.

I don't quite get this. How can you be relaxed when you have no plan and are just waiting for your savings to run out?

I took a lot of stats and probability courses in university, but never developed any intuition related to it. This would have been very helpful to me back then and now even.

Not at all mandated. Buying into React server-side rendering will get you into a morass of complexity. Traditional SPAs with history-based routing still work just fine.

The Biden case seems like an example of when the senior leader was not given any honest feedback in private and then was humiliated in public. If anything that’s a reason to give feedback to the leader privately without sugar coating.

What false flagging campaign are you referring to? I am not familiar.

I assume 200 million since it was reported before in Q2 they were at 175 million MAU, but not the person you're replying to.

It's not far off my company on-call policies.

As a senior+ IC I am in a 6 week rotation as the escalation path for 6 teams. Any page goes to the team's on-call + whoever is on-call for escalation that week.

Every few months I will be paged when I am not on-call as a SME, and those responses are optional, but frowned on if you miss and don't have a good excuse.

The aesthetics are nice, but what I really want is a toggleable overlay that shows the rough keyword mapping for all the books. The single book view is fine for understanding a single book, but not useful for trying to process the whole page to find one book I might want to read.

Nice project though, I love it.

AI generated blog spam. It's a lot of words and platitudes with no value added.

If this is what this author's coaching involves, just steer clear.

Agree with everything you said.

And then I’d add: Start with reading the error message. In his panic state, he seems to have thought it was a red herring. Error messages are gold. It gives you a concrete thing to work backwards from.

Looks like puppeteer running headless

What do you think is the right way to look at this? Is it chaos testing that you're saying is nonsense? I am working on an app for work where reliability is a core feature and I've been looking for resources on how to ensure the frontend is resilient to mistakes and oversights.
