I feel like technology should exist to enhance the human experience, not eliminate the human experience?

another TTS that is only supporting English. This really irritates me
vite exists? what are you even talking about
this is an unserious reply. and if you are serious then you're likely not a frontend developer. often you want to test if a certain kind of hack fix works. your mind becomes glued to thinking about "does that fix it?" - hence why it's not easy to branch into a new line of thought then just come back to the change you pushed minutes ago. You're pretty much suggesting that the developer context changes into another thing for anywhere between 1 and 4 minutes and then context switches back to see if the build worked. The task that you'd be context switching into for 1-4 minutes will be interrupted by another thing and you'll likely make no progress doing it
So many of you are yapping about how the performance is not good enough. Yet none of you are talking about how Shopify literally could not develop their mobile app without it. The 3 minutes to compile the app just to do a trivial change makes it near impossible for devs to be productive. Hot reloading is what got me hooked to react native, I literally cannot allow for my brain to rot waiting for minutes waiting for Xcode to compile for a simple border radius change.
exactly. this whole RedNote development frames the problem of United States social media data harvesting and surveillance. We've been institutionalized to believe that the Chinese are the most propagandized and censored people on the planet, meanwhile American "free speech" social media platforms regularly de-platform and de-monetized accounts regularly.
your indifference to potential civilizational collapse is representative of the mass amnesia on this issue
It’s very difficult to not get caught in a total over militarized surveillance state. He is not stupid
yeah, isolated + distributed processes is THE THING about Erlang, OTP
yeah the peace prize has completely lost any credibility that it may have had.
when will bun officially catch up to node?
Yeah this piece is top tier delusional, I’m thinking it had to be written by someone with heavy crypto libertarian leanings. Argentina’s poverty rate is currently ~57%. See https://www.thedialogue.org/analysis/will-argentinas-poverty...
no developer wants to waste their time developing apps for a product that nobody other than the .001% will ever use
I love how Paul Ghram is quoted and not an actual writer. Why would I take writing advice from him and not from, say, James Joyce?
kant's critique of pure reason
yep, companies thrive when they can steal as much surplus labor value as possible. you don't have to give them anything more that what you agreed to give them
You don’t understand the enormous immediate risk of climate change if you think that AGI is a comparable risk. Climate change is now and is killing people every day
yea, we don't want or need this kind of "magic" - because it's hardly magic to begin with, and it's more socially and environmentally destructive than anything else.
have you raised any capital for this project? i think a lot of incubators could be interested in helping you enshittify this idea.
I see that the first book reviewed is "Rich dad poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. He's a known grifter that has been wrong on nearly everything over the last 15 years. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38877126
In the near future someone will conduct a scientific study on how people who feel sick generally don't live as long
seems like the union of developers is stronger than the company itself. hence why unions are so frowned upon by big tech corporate leadership
Some engineers and part of the professional managerial class. Many (if not most) engineers are proletarians
Seeing your CEO as a deified subject is a serious crisis in the tech industry
in that case you were losing your immediate manager so your personal circumstances were about to change significantly.
however, in the case of sam altman getting fired, it's not clear that anything that OpenAI is doing is about to change and it's not clear that these devs would suddenly have to change course. Also, it's not like Sam / OpenAI has any integrity anyway - the idea that it's "open" is totally fraudulent.
not everyone has the ability to quit their jobs on the spot for morality sake. there is no social safety net in america. people can't risk losing their jobs and health insurance
who in their right mind has "emotions" and even "loyalty" for a CEO? and so much to the point that they'd quit their jobs over the CEO's departure? the reality is that people didn't join OpenAI because of sam altman. they joined the company because they got paid (handsomely) to do some interesting work.
why shouldn't someone be allowed to get a phd for their own pleasure? You are gatekeeping
I only saw some of the "capitalism is good, actually" video and was horrified at how ideological it was. It was Prager-U level propaganda. She seems to fall in line with a few popular physicists (like Neil Tyson) who display chauvinist tendencies in their knowledge of everything that is.
i suggest a new push notification on your phone that says "be funnier" - all the top comedians do it
