Just a coincidence! Nothing to see here!

It's actually incredible how much headlines there are regarding OpenAI--how much cap they're raising, the ins and outs of their corporate structure, how much that psychopath will be compensated--yet very little on what they've actually shipped.

Wait till some idiot reposts it on Mastodon lol

Climate change is real but its effects are overblown. Weeping for a glacier that would of melted a few years later regardless of public opinion seems insufficient

If you trust Sam I feel bad for you

S3 is complicated on purpose so github jannies and lawyers have something to do.

This looks sick! Thanks for building this!

unreasonably based. there's almost no other take than this, and if there is one, it must address this.

The quintessential "your favorite artist's favorite artist" type-guy.

One of his newer tunes, which is dedicated to his late parents, is an absolute ripper [1].

Long live Aphex Twin.

Watching WFH tech evangelists being sincerely stunned that GloboTechInc fired them over email (gasp) is not just ironic, but should be instructive.

What did you guys think would happen?

That the company who hired you to build a surveillance monopoly on the internet was going to look out for your best interests?

On a long enough timeline, many SWEs will engineer their job out of existence. Those left over will have to compete with the mythical 10x engineer and the latest AGI shitbot that can debug code all day long without ever having to take a bathroom break, or maternity leave.

To those affected: don’t capitulate to, or engage with the pity machine. It’s all cope. Those jobs, that headcount, is never coming back.

Take your skills and go build something you actually have true equity in.

Godspeed code monkey.

The "move fast and break things" crowd cries foul when they happen to be the thing that gets broke.

Funny how that works.

The only way to offset carbon emissions at this stage is that a lot of people will have to die, bringing demand and consumption down dramatically.

A war, famine, or general economic collapse (or all of the above) on a very large scale would technically solve this.

This is what I believe policy makers and corporations think, and of course, none of them are saying that quiet part out loud.

After all the Dershowitz country club drama, and more recently, the drama with Supreme Court justices being harassed in public, this will be the norm.

These people are destined to a life of solitude, and almost all of them deserve it.

It looks nice and feels snappy.

How did you build it?

Whats the context here? Just says a Tesla got into an accident.

Snitching as a Service.

Is there anything wrong with breaking laws that entrench local monopolies.

Yeah, there is. Even if there's a point somewhere in there (there's not), Uber is not qualified to make those judgement calls.

Save the greater good bullshit for the company picnic.

The Uber propanaganda is always insane on HN.

Where do you think these people work?

TLDR; Their parents are proud of them, let's not fuck that up for them.

What people are afraid to say is that the United States arguably has a bad enough rap sheet as China, but still, even with its shortcomings, it's still not China.

And yes, China bad.

There is no more prescient of a take on this news as this one.

Once the singularity is nearly complete you'll know: macOS and iOS will merge into one monolithic OS.

Hahaha, of course you don't see that. You're talents are rarified and frozen in amber (you work in an opaque, cut throat, morally bankrupt industry that headhunts just for the sake of taking talent off the market).

I 100% agree that's it's arbitrary, and my figure wasn't a source of categorical, universal truth, but guess what? The hardest questions in life resides squarely in a GREY area.

I'd even argue that your intense rationality and reliance on systems (no matter how ineffective, or even untrue) is a crutch because, in theory, you will always be at odds with the proletariat.

And what good is that?

Except that you rested your laurels on the last word: taxation.

Taxation is not and will never be in a place that serves the commonwealth, rather it will always align with those closer to power.

Have you not been paying attention?

I think you don't understand the difference between equality and equity.

I don't believe everyone should get the same slice. I just believe that 200 million is a far cry from your salary. If that was untrue you wouldn't be talking shit on a message board.

You think a single individual (who didn't start the company I might add) should make 200 MILLION dollars.

We have a different value system.

Nobody gets to decide.

I think we, collectively, as humans well define some vague idea as to what's acceptable and what's not, because no matter how smart you are, the realities that humans in motion provide are a couple more orders of magnitude more complex than your SPA repo. And it should be.

Should my salary as a dev be a function of what a janitor makes?

Should definitely not be more than FIVE times what he makes. Because you're not 5x smarter, efficient, or important as FIVE (5) janitors. Period.

And if you think you are and you're using the "free market" as a factor, well then I'm sure you think BTC should of ever been worth 60k or that Tesla should be worth $900 a share.

It's incredible that people plant their morality within the confines of a "definitely rational market that's definitely not experiencing a bubble".

You're entitled to your opinion, and by all means share it—but in my earnest (peasant, non-leet) opinion, I think I can draw a straighter, truer, more direct corollary from a persons idea of what fair is (no matter how opaque) than I can from whatever bullshit he types in as a reply.

Agree to definitely disagree. No apologies.

Crab from the bottom of the bucket here: that's a lot of syllables for ???

Did I say the feds should set the limit? Why can't a respectable board set respectable limits? Cause they don't give a fuck about anything except the stock price EVEN if it means that others suffer in their wake.

That's why. That's the side you're on. Miss me with that libertarian Thiel bullshit.

Anything but yes or no is TMI.

Incredible thread. Definitely logged off for a while after that
