With all due respect if you consider ideas that llm gives you back as “novel” or same/better quality than your own, then your own were not novel and not great to begin with. Therefore you didn’t really loose nor gain anything except a point of view. Which is arbitrary in this case.

Many could. But no one seems to ready to risk everything to make it popular and widely adopted.

The deepest fundamental and unsolved challenge is to define “intelligence”

Serious employers don’t care what tools you used, they care what heights did you reach (what kind of projects did you deliver).

I’m happy every time takented people leave bad company.

Now they’re are free to create their own thing or join someone not as rotten as ms.

To be fair it looks like a rational decision from ms perspective. If being #1 in game engines is not a priority.

I think hn is still heavily influenced by Silicon Valley, so your guess is absolutely correct.

We don’t take our cities sound and light pollution seriously.

I bet it plays important role in all the anxiety and other popular health issues rising.

LLMs are only as good as the average codebase they were trained on. What else did you expect?

Wow what an incredible pace of innovation!

No, not specific timestamp. My point is that on average within a single generation lifespan all things considered US has always been at least in top 10, often leading the list.

And that is not an easy achievement that so many tiktok-minded take for granted these days.

And you must be blind or too focused on US problems to not see how many politicians and leaders all over the world are obviously corrupt and/or dumb.

It depends on what exact period of time you look at. And how deep you look for all hidden tensions and unresolved conflicts of interests waiting its time (in europe for example).

Also you will have hard time arguing about _total collapse_ in US

Do you know of any other country that is perfect? Or free from downtimes?

Before you make such blanket and shallow statements you should take things in perspective.

To my limited knowledge current economical, political and sociological situation in virtually any other place is worse (from “comparable” to much much worse depending on the attributes important to you, with only a handful attributes that one may say are better).

Can someone explain me like im 10 - what exactly is the root problem here? Why all these dances (and wasted taxpayers money) with data living here or there? Isnt it (in general) just another unnecessary pain for good guys while relatively easy solvable issue for bad guys? What do I miss? Genuine question.

How easy it is to put all tge dogs on a vehicle, rather than on drivers.

If you ban a truck - the asshole driving it will just buy bmw instead.

Don’t you see? Why all the good people have to suffer?

Posts like this should not be on hn in the first place.

Within the given context it is a valid question.

Perfect speech, I wish hamas and their 70% supporters in gaza could really hear it

To be pessimistic about anything beyond one’s own specific life situation is deeply arrogant and ignorant.

There is absolutely nothing unprecedented about current downturn that history hasn’t seen before. And current life standards on average even in worst of the places are far higher than they were in same places in the past (probably with some exceptions).

Everyone outside our professional community.

Only people who make sausages don’t eat them. Only people who create news don’t trust them.

That is a pretty stupid comment and a bad analogy, to be honest

Yes, founding engineer math doesn’t work. Its a way to buy you cheaper than market can offer for comparable work/risks.

Okay. Cause it still feels like running on a potato phone on latest iphone :)

Whatsapp, really?

I think HN “crowd” on average is smarter than a random or some hype eating crowd on the internet.

Smarter people tend to be more sceptical and resistive when something gets shoved up their bottoms too much or much more than it seemingly deserves.

Nothing special about AI here, it’s a general tendency.

Philosophically or metaphorically speaking - yes.

But in my comment it is literally what some subset of lawyers do.

Literally is much more tangible and risky in terms of real impact on employment etc.

Thank you! As a non native speaker I was not sure if “and butter” is a mandatory part but didn’t want (nor had time) to llm the comment for the sake of authenticity :) TIL

In general it is not surprising. Even if this particular study is bad.

There are certain areas of law work that are about analyzing large amounts of texts, drawing conclusions and writing other texts based on that and nothing more. That is literally the bread of LLMs.

Those types of lawyers should be the first in line for unemployment, not programmers, not even close.

I was successful since the moment I was born.

Because modern so called atheists is a popular religious cult of its own, they tend to cancel anyone challenging it, because of lack of better arguments.

It is hopelessly self-centered to claim that they were made in God's image.

Much less self centered than assume we’re developed from a mud on our own, without any external intervention.

It is hopelessly self-centered to claim that He made the world just for us, and put us above all animals.

Not a bit more than think that we’re ultimate authority to judge and decide who is above who

It is hopelessly self-centered to literally centre the Earth, and have the Sun rotate around us.

Geometrically it is an arbitrary choice of the coordinates system. Cosmologically and historically it was only an intermediate view held by many nations regardless of their religious views. Generally, the Earth is a truly unique planey unless found otherwise.

Yeah it’s funny to compare yourself now when you touched some real thinkers and real wisdom and years ago when you thought charlatans like Dawkins were worth trusting :)
