yoyohello13··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
Based on what I’ve seen. Seems like being a good lier would make you a more suitable CEO not less.

Maybe everyone in the Epstein files.

I’ve seen some wild opinions on HN. One that particularly lingers in my mind was a suggestion that we use immigrant women as incubators to solve the population crisis. Shockingly not downvoted into oblivion.

HN cares about money and tech. Don’t take morality or life advice from here.

The man was cheating on his wife. He already wasn’t thinking of his family.
yoyohello13··on Tesla Hasn't Had a Successful New Product Launch Since JB Straubel Stepped Down
The only thing that demo proved to me is that I will never buy a Tesla. I’m even in the market for a new car and I’d be interested in getting an EV.

Imagine if they put all that engineering effort to building an affordable, reliable, EV? Man that would be something to behold. But America is in the meme economy now, nobody cares about real products for real people. Just hype generators that appeal to the 1%.

yoyohello13··on I'm not a fan of Deno's security model (2024)
Lucky for them. Deno is dead.

That roadster demo proved to me they are not serious about making EVs anymore. Strapping rockets to a car makes an interesting spectacle, but is utterly impractical for a real consumer vehicle.
yoyohello13··on US tech giants' hidden AI debt swells 90% to $3.2T in 6 months
I get the anger. These people are gambling with my (and all the other plebs) life and are likely going to get rich in the process.

I think AI is huge and it’s going to make a lot of money. So I’m keeping my investments in. But I’m also sure there is going to be a massive amount of turbulence to get there. Unfortunately I don’t know enough (or care to know enough) about finance to really capitalize on it.

yoyohello13··on Bones may release proteins that slow aging and extend life span
You're going to get injured in life whether you exercise or not. Mine as well be strong and injured rather than weak and injured.
yoyohello13··on SOML – A Config Format for Humans
Isn't every configuration format made for humans? In fact, every programming language was made for humans.
yoyohello13··on Herdr has released native app
I've been using Zellij a long time and considered using Herdr, but the VC funding aspect scares me. I don't want to invest a bunch of time in a tool that's going to treat me as a product.
yoyohello13··on Patrick Stewart has died
The new age term is "Competence Porn" and man I love it so much.
yoyohello13··on AI promised less work. I've never worked more
> I don't know how people are handling constant context switching

The answer is they don't. It has been proven overwhelmingly that human's are bad a multitasking, even the ones who think they are good multitaskers.

How do Employees advocate for themselves if not Unions? I've never heard any anti-union person give a good answers other than 'just trust the employer to be a good human' or 'wait until it gets bad enough that the market sorts it out' which is just laughable.

This is my prediction. The extractors will continue to extract until it becomes untenable. Then a lot of people will die and we will find a new balance. This cycle is basically human history in a nutshell.

Do those calling for unionization forget how the railroads dealt with workers trying to unionize? Ever heard of the Pinkertons.

yoyohello13··on America has lost 200k of jobs in media, film and the arts. How much is AI?
Well, these days when the rich guy loses $1000, the government takes my $10 and gives it to him.
yoyohello13··on JetBrains Thinkrail
Very likely because Pi is written in TypeScript and Pi plugins are expected to be TS. TS is becoming the one true language. Best get used to it.
yoyohello13··on JetBrains Thinkrail
Looks interesting, but they need to clean up the claudese in those bullet points holy crap. It's like they purposely want the "what you get" section to be as obtuse as possible.
yoyohello13··on AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework
I was an adjunct math professor at a University for a few years and I completely agree with this. There is this propaganda circulating in (and out of) education that testing is not a good measure of mastery, but it 100% is. It's a hard sell for public schools because, as you said, people will fail more.

Math is an even tougher sell because it's largely a service department. It's hard to justify holding non-majors up because they can't pass calc 2. For upper division math though tests are the way.

yoyohello13··on America has lost 200k of jobs in media, film and the arts. How much is AI?
It’s a difficult conversation to have because critiquing the wealth accumulation tends to get you shouted down as a communist. I’m a believer in capitalism as well but our current system has produced people that are so wealthy they are effectively above the law. Some limit on wealth accumulation really needs to happen.

This seems to be a common argument essentially “If a rich guy get $1000 and as a result I get $10, then I shouldn’t complain because I got $10” but this glosses over the fact that money is a proxy for power. The rich guy got more power over resources from this deal. Over the years this leads to more power inequality which is bad because now the rich guy can start doing other things to me and I have no recourse.
yoyohello13··on Bringing uv and ty together
…yet. I’m definitely concerned for the future. Especially because uv is so good. The rug pull is going to hurt a lot.
yoyohello13··on Job loss and cortisone mania
You don't think spending the days with your family, hunting/growing food to feed that family would be fulfilling?

Obviously I don't know the answers, and there were obviously tons of day-to-day stressors that sucked, but I'm not so sure it's a given that people of the past did not find life fulfilling/meaningful.

yoyohello13··on Every AI model has the same "controversial" take on humans
What would be the most interesting is option 3. This behavior is so apparent and pervasive in human interaction that it dominates other answers.

I don't know if that's true, but it would be interesting.

yoyohello13··on Every AI model has the same "controversial" take on humans
> despite that this isn't some universal constant in the training data.

Seems to me that the opinion being a consistent among LLMs show that it is in fact a constant in the training data, just not apparent. The idea that “humans would rather be wrong together than right alone” seems to ring pretty true to me. I would not be surprised after training on all human communication this pattern emerged.

yoyohello13··on GitLab critical patch release
Gitlab has had a lot lately. I’ve had to patch every other week for the last few months
yoyohello13··on Oregon lawmakers approve money to buy an iconic waterfall listed on Redfin
Is this a meme? I've never heard it before.
yoyohello13··on Eight Bits of Trust; eMudhra's CA keys cracked in milliseconds
I love how this article explains multiplication... very carefully.
yoyohello13··on Musk ordered Starlink slowdown that blindsided Ukraine
Funny how this is barely visible while the roadster that will never see the light of day has >2000 comments.
yoyohello13··on What shall I teach my son?
> That's the mentality that is consistently rewarded in society today.

It's not a new thing either. The more history I learn, the more it's clear that these things have always been rewarded. It's also just a higher risk way to live, because if you piss off the other sociopaths they will slap you down.
