Some of the hairy ones are kinda bald with a comb over though
uhtred··on Pentagon announces new AI office as it looks to deploy autonomous weapons
They mention autonomous drones. Could that be what people are seeing in new Jersey? The government would probably not want to admit they are flying autonomous drones in new Jersey.
uhtred··on Accelerate and Enable Engineering Teams with AI
From what I've seen of "ai" so far I doubt this product adds value to a team. But it doesn't matter! Using them means the CEO gets to say he is embracing ai in his products, and the engineering manager gets to say he's improving his teams velocity by using ai, and resumes and stock go up in value and around we go! I don't want to get off!

uhtred··on What we know about CEO shooting suspect
One too many retros
uhtred··on CEO killer was a Penn CS graduate, worked for startup
When I saw the backpack and the gun I thought "so he's a guy that likes luxury gadgets and lifestyle items with neat functionality... software engineer?"

If he had gone to a decent coffee shop and not Starbucks I'd have been convinced

uhtred··on The Surreal Magnificence of Fatherhood
This is like LinkedIn content not hackernews.
uhtred··on UnitedHealth's Effort to Deny Coverage for a Patient's Care (2023)
Why would a treatment ever cost that much? It shouldn't even cost what is does, it's not justifiable.
uhtred··on UnitedHealth's Effort to Deny Coverage for a Patient's Care (2023)
All that matters to the patient is that it worked.

Did you read the article? The drugs did work, but only at the high doses prescribed.

In fact I am certain you did not read it, as no decent person could read it and say "but it's crazy to me that people can read this and come away thinking the insurance companies are the bad guys."

uhtred··on Top internet sleuths say they won't help find the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer
Tiktok is where people say whatever gets the most views. Its for narcissists.

There are old school web sleuthing forums filled with people taking this case seriously.

uhtred··on Fructose in diet enhances tumor growth: research
Why are so many techies also keto fanboys.

I suspect it's because diets like keto say it's OK to eat loads of meat and basically don't require any sacrifice. Fuck the environment and fuck other animals right bros?!

uhtred··on ChatGPT Pro
$200 a month! Lol, for what?

Save yourself the money and learn how to use a search engine and read documentation.

Honestly I haven't seen much value provided for me by these "AI" models.

uhtred··on Anthem BCBS calls off surgery anesthesia cap after UH CEO murdered
I don't buy it. I think people are tired of the current system. Seeing loved ones suffer because of lack of healthcare.

For me the irony is that this has brought people from both sides of the political divide together, yet the people on the right just voted for a guy that will make society even more unfair.

Perhaps the next four years will be a true reckoning. The darkest moments before the dawn of a new era. The rise of Bernie 2.0, half man half machine, an efficient anti-drilling machine.

uhtred··on My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback
Does a 9 year old really need feedback from hackernews? They are not even at big school yet! When did kids stop knowing how to just have fun!

uhtred··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
The temperature increase rate since the industrial revolution doesn't look very natural and doesn't seem like a coincidence.
uhtred··on Looking for a Job Is Tough
Are you judging them with an assumption that they earn so much that a 30k drop in salary still results in a large salary?

Seems like it.

But what if that wasn't the case at all and they desperately needed an income and were willing to take an unfairly small salary?

uhtred··on Looking for a Job Is Tough
I can't figure out what your point is?
uhtred··on Australia proposes ban on social media for those under 16
I fully support this.

Fuck google, meta, tiktok, all of them, they are ruining the world.

And fuck amazon too.

uhtred··on New images of Jupiter
A big beautiful ball of gas floating around in empty space for absolutely no reason whatsoever!
uhtred··on Dropbox announces 20% global workforce reduction
The problem is we live in a society now where everyone has a public platform to promote themselves (linkedin etc) and there are a lot of ruthlessly ambitious narcisists who put self promotion and resume building ahead of everything else.

So they muscle into a team lead or manager position and grow the team, because it looks good to post on linked in "hey I'm growing my team" and it doesn't matter if the team needs another person.

And who cares if the company is then stuck with surplus employees, not the person who hired them because they have moved on and up at another company.

Yes but what did you work on yesterday, what will you work on today, and are there any blockers?
