yangikan··on Leading computer science professor says 'everybody' is struggling to get jobs
The high salaries commanded by FAANG engineers right out of college motivated a lot of students to take up computer science as a major and this led to a massive oversupply. It might take a few years to cool.

"Between 2018 and 2023, the number of students majoring in computer and information science jumped from about 444,000 to 628,000."

Around 40% of MIT graduates are now in CS https://alum.mit.edu/slice/conversation-new-computing-dean-a...

Further, COVID has reduced a lot of friction for remote work, so now there is also global competition for these jobs.

yangikan··on Leading computer science professor says 'everybody' is struggling to get jobs
There might be advantages to increasing the amount of hardware and low level courses in the curriculum. But, I am pretty sure that is not the primary reason for young graduates not being to find jobs.

I should have RTFM https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/usage.html#starting-an-in...

Are you aware of any user interfaces that expose some limited ChatGPT functionality using a UI, that internally uses llm. This is for my non-techie wife.

yangikan··on Show HN: My LLM CLI tool can run tools now, from Python code or plugins
Thanks for this. I am planning to cancel my ChatGPT plus subscription and use something like the llm tool with the API key. For regular interactions, how do you handle context? For example, the UI allows me to ask a question, and then a followup and the context is kind of automatically handled.

yangikan··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney, who does work for YC and startups. AMA
If the current administration reduces the issuance of family based greencards (which happens mostly through the consulates), those unused greencards will flow through the EB category, allowing EB1 dates to move forward. Something like this happened during Covid.
yangikan··on Waymo One is now open to everyone in San Francisco
Could you point me to this episode, please?
yangikan··on Car dealerships revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider
> People buy expensive items and expect to be able to get those items maintained and serviced. If the business was cutthroat, that could be more difficult. I don't want my dealer going bankrupt, frankly.

So, more competition is bad for the consumer?

yangikan··on US thwarted plot to kill Sikh separatist on American soil
A totally uncritical media, owned by crony businessmen who supports him, just amplifies his party's message and creates the impression that he delivers. Imagine if 95% of the viewership is for some version of fox news. His dramatic failures (like the botched up demonitization) are silently forgotten. Combine this with a huge social media propaganda machinery that circulates fake news, most Indians are forced to live in an alternate reality.
