The only German course that actually produces speakers.
Hahaha, You better add a source to that. Without being am established household name like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone, that sounds like a scam.
Shouldnt the product speak for itself? Why do you need to buy a press team.
I mean litteraly, with all the AI podcasts out there just get it to do it. It was going to take all our jobs anyways or something.
Based on what? Do you have data for that or is that just a feeling, or what you want.
Im sorry, this just sounds like hypespeak. CAn you provide samples?
once they unlock one capability,
What does it mean to unlock? Its an llm nothing is locked. The output is a as good as the context, model and environment. Nothing is hidden or locked.
Those were electrical engineers, digital switches came out later... regardless we are talking about labor of a much larger industry.
Are you actually EU? You know we are not one homogeneous state right? There are currently 27 nations, in which policy and circumstance varies between even at a regional level. There is immense poverty in some nations, notably Spain or Italy, but even Germany. I've seen it first hand, its heartbreaking.

Purchasing power grows everywhere in the world
Sure consumer goods are cheaper, but I don't need more "stuff". The essentials I need for my family: food, energy, housing, and most importantly time are much less accessible. Sure, we could buy bulk, move to a LCOL area and work remote, but not everyone can do that.
This is the trend that a lot of people in my generation complain about.
You are specifically interested in the job for reasons other than the money. It is unlikely that other applicants want the job as badly as you do.
This is really rat race to the bottom. Obviously it goes without saying that people passionate about a project get preference, but if you are trying to wind yourself up to be "passionate" your winding yourself up to accept less for more work.
Do not ask employees for a referral!
This amount of times I get asked for blind referrals is insane. Maybe it is a non-western thing, but I nor anyone else I know does this or accepts these requests. It only kills an application, since it looks deceitful, an applicant should stand on their own.
If the company is <30 people, reach out to the CEO directly.
There is already a lot of spam filtering through their inbox, this is white noise. This maaaay only work if you know them on other channels and they are "cool".
Again, send more than one email.
lol
CS is oversaturated right now for many reasons. Regardless, mass applications do not work unless you are cheating, targeted applications do not work unless everyone else does the same. The best bet is internal networks, or searching for work in unexpected locations, e.g. webmaster at the local pulp mill.

If there is a hell on this planet it is Reddit. I don't blame them
I blame infiltration by bots slowly shifting the Overton window. Did this site not get "weird" in the last few years?
Not to think to highly of ourselves, I for one am a genuine idiot, but the crowed here likely has more influence than a lot of other online forums. Making it a worthwhile target, especially on the AI front. Plus the site is an easy to integrate into a bots with the minimal website and all.
What a tittle, almost makes you feel good for vibe coding out slop without knowing half of what is going on. What are even the examples marginal css changes on already perfectly good designs?
If you want to look at the bright side, this design guide will be easier to spot SAAS, slop as a service.
Sounds like hot air, Wolfram style. Making an intellectual smart sounding argument out of something that is well simple. Version control is version control , a hammer is a hammer. What style you choose depends on the situation, right now git is king because it works and we all understand it.. enough.
The lossy aspect mentioned in the article just sounds like you forgot to write comments or a README. simple fix
I disagree. I limit the screen time of my kids to 20 min per day. I only allow them also to view certain content that is not too stimulating, just educational stuff. The kids do want to talk about the stuff they see and play out what they see afterwards. I see it as positive. Unlimited youtube kids, with weird slop content, absolutely harmful.
HN readers are going through 5 stages of grief
So we are just irrational and sour?
People are willing to pay $200 per month
Some people are of course, but how many?

This is just low-key hype. Careful with your portfolio...
Sad that they acquired Finn.
Point is it is misleading, and part of the hype cycle.
Also interested, since that is my same impression.
at 30mph breaking is about 50/50 perception time and breaking time for a total of 3-4s. Self-driving cars would an improvement for sure, they would have a max 2 second emergency break, but not quick enough as far as I understand. Even if that were enough, I would not appreciate my cab emergency breaking randomly because a kid steps out in front of a bus. Its best to slowly stop, then slowly accelerate. Maybe the optimal solution is to creep past the buss?
Serious question, Do we need another type checker in Python?
I've never really felt the existing options were lacking for our use case. Completely fair game if this was just a passion project, but at this point at best this feels like noise, at worst some overzealous developer is going to implement this in my teams pipeline and waste time. Waste his time because the existing type checker did the job and there was not reason to change it, and waste our time because they will likely change (probably tighten) the existing behavior and waste our time while we adapt our habits to it.
laws of physics still apply. Car still takes time to slow down, even with perfect reaction times. Well, maybe you could get it to stop in time, but it might break the necks of everyone in the car.
Given how hidden children are walking in front of the bus, if the AI instantly applied breaks upon seeing the child, would the car slowdown in time? probably not. Better yes, good enough? no.
So Waymo should go relatively unpunished? Sure the laws might be draconian, but at least apply them evenly, or change them for everyone.
What social contract? Companies have always been for shareholders.
You are not wrong, but the contract is/was metaphorical. For a long time people were able to make a living for themselves by studying hard (usually STEM) and end up with a career which payed off. That was the invisible "contract". Hell I went to university for things which seem like academic navel gazing, but I still got a good tech job on the other side. That's not the reality for a lot of graduates nowdays who take more practical degrees at masters and phd levels.
Again even if the literal statement is clearly false, it is the sentiment which matters, and this sentiment does not just apply to graduates. I think many just feel like working hard does not work anymore, especially in the face of housing, cost of living, job competition and social media flaunting the wealth of others.
I get the idea from my younger siblings, "Why try if you are already a looser."
Actually, I think problem 1 is exacerbating problem 2 by a lot
100%, the fear mongering is just to trigger rallies of investment both in stock and funding. What bad sounding to us "AI took my jerb!" sounds great to the c-suite.
I think you might overestimating the power of AI, a little. It's really good at creating flashy things, nice looking videos and code, but the reasoning and logic is still lacking. I don't see it replacing human oversight anytime soon.
Why the weird notation? Apart from very high net worth individuals, the metric seems pointless, navel gazing at best.
Aside from that, why not just use log10(<individual's wealth>/<average wealth>) as a function of a particular market like EU, USA, Greenland, whatever. That way the metric is agnostic to inflation and differences in currency value.
I disagree, high degrees of wealth inequality result in manipulation of our society to act against the best interest of the common man. Unfortunately, this article seems to be more inline with quantization for the sake of navel gazing.
Two factors here.
1) "Tech bro" AI hype in keynotes and online forums is annoying. It usually contains a degree of embellishment and drama; kinda feels like reality TV but for software developers. Instead of Hollywood socialites, we get Sam Altman and the gang. Honestly, this annoys me but I ignore it beyond key announcements.
2) This hype cycle, unlike NFTs, is putting our economy in serious danger. This is repeated ad nausiem on youtube. While there is some hype on the topic here to, the implications are serious and real. I wont go into details, but I restructured my portfolio to harden it against an AI collapse. I didn't want to do that, but I did. I want to retire someday.
Considering point 2, I'd guess some of the "hype" is more frustration, since I can't be the only person.
The article is misleading, and well propaganda. The official national statistical institute of Norway tracks wealth tax revenues per year. From 2022 to 2023, revenues moderately increased from around NOK 26 billion to NOK 29 billion.

opportunities? I live here, opportunities are slim at the moment, because of the economy, not the millionaires.
