As a consumer, the last things I want in an interface are to a) be sycophantic enough to lessen my judgment

This is EXACTLY what people like/are addicted to about chatbots.

My sister-in-law bombed an interview and asked AI about her answers to the interviewer's questions, chatgpt or whatever it was told her that her answers weren't bad, but that the interviewer could not see the gold in her responses. She said she felt much better.

I see this effect with all the non-tech people in my life

Lol well make that the headline!

I sometimes think that passionate nerds love their niche so much they forget that other people might not have the foggiest of what they're talking about.

Happens on github README.md files all the time.

What is a fantasy console? Is this just software? If it's just software, is the fantasy console some kind of meta game or emulator?

It's not clear at all.

If you couldn't bother writing it, I can't be bothered reading it.

America is the Greatest Country on Earth

Yeah ok mate. Have a good one.

What an odd world view. Of course the priviliged have greater social obligations, because they are greater benefactors of life. We're all equal under the law but that doesn't mean that those with greater means shouldn't have greater impacts on society.

Meritocracy is often a buzzword of the elite to avoid paying their fair share.

Sounds like you're in AU, I will point out that trades are not looked down on at all in this country. In fact culturally we value chippies and sparkies higher than desk jockeys.

You owe society more than nothing, otherwise you end up with a sick society.

Go on, spill some more tea..

I realise you're joking, but crypto is now a heavily regulated industry, the KYC/AML requirements are no-joke and non-compliance will get the company's licences in a given country/state terminated.

For the end user it looks like an evil cash-grab, but really it's the company protecting itself from regulatory vengeance.

Fusion power is proven to be possible.

AGI is not.

What an absolute joke that it has taken GitHub this long to clean up it's act when it comes to supply chain security.

Which did you enjoy serving on more? Submariners apparently eat better than anywhere else on the navy, but also don't get any sunlight for 6 months?

Parable of the mechanic who charges $5k to hit a machine on the side once with a hammer to get it working. $5 for the hammer, $4995 for the knowledge of where to hit the machine etc etc.

Nor does the cop who demands $100 for letting you go without arresting you.

But they're still responsible for their own personal piece of the rot in the system.

Ever seen a vibe-coded react app? It's astounding how well SOTA LLMs can produce good looking code in detail, but zoom out to the architectural or broader picture and it becomes an unholy mess.

It's like a masterpiece painted by an artist with their nose 5 inches from the canvas at all times.

Just teach backend engineers to do frontend pixel perfect CSS!

Different fields.

Workpersonship doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Perhaps its because american hyperscalers want unlimited upside for their capital?

I never wanted to memorise trivia, like remembering flags on a certain cli command. That always felt so painful when I just wanted to do a thing

Isn't that kind of nuts?

They can't even properly beta test their new releases?

Agreed that beads seems way over engineered for an issue tracker.

You're prompting it wrong!

Let's see how it shakes out after Athropic and OpenAI fully stop subsidizing their plans, that may alter the calculus.

So it was just the head of the family?

What if there were several of these birthday parties in succession due to siblings dying?

Yeah but who pays the enormous cost?

Tell that to the thousands of comp sci students who drop out every year because they don't like programming in C!

I mean they hired the guy who created it. It's not exactly like openclaw is a real product.

But will they pay the unsubsidized cost when anthropic needs to turn a profit?
