Well, then and the millennials

There might be a requirement for these drivers but it’s uh…nontechnical, so to speak

The Corrections and Freedom were both amazing but nothing he’s written since has come close.

I mean what’s there to say but, well…FAFO.

One of the rare sane comments on this thread.

Just because it can’t be easily measured doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Found the manager

He's done it again folks

Couldn’t finish because of the AI. Write by yourself, cmon.

The time to solve that resource problem is before AI concentrates power, not after. It’s LESS likely to happen when a tiny elite increases their already huge amount of power.

If you make 900,000 but your rent and healthcare are 850000, how rich are you?

Scaling and edge cases with real users are the difficulty. Feel like this isn’t even that controversial.

If it’s used by < 1000 people, it’s not a complicated app

This isn’t meant to be sarcastic: have you ever worked for a real company?

I would ask this: which is the worse failure mode —- design not quite right, or users can’t access the app?

That’s what CEOs think lol. Let’s see if it pans out!

You mean the brilliant mathematician with the correct insights into the modern American condition?

Yes, a billionaire and substitute teacher have the same political power in America. Couldn’t have put it better myself.

The terms are defined by the AI dealers!

Well said. It’s striking to me how many adults can’t conceive of “violence” as an abstraction that results in certain effects and fall back on “violence is dealing direct physical injury to a person’s body or building.”

If you think that software isn't meaningfully different than avocados then maybe we are living in different realities.

Yeah I’m sure the savings will be passed onto the consumer, genius

What enemies?

Cool

“I invested a lot of money in something and my ROI is literally more important than anything else.”

It’s I guess too political for HN but these guys absolutely want to be the Gestapo and are trying their hardest.

This drives me absolutely crazy. Non-falsifiable and non-deterministic results. All of this stuff is (at best) anecdotes and vibes being presented as science and engineering.

I was going to reply to the post above but you said it perfectly.

Without phones, we couldn’t talk to people across great distances (oversimplification but you get it).

Without Generative AI, we couldn’t…?

Perhaps you’ve heard that the purpose of a system is what it does?
