yes

Well they don't cut together clips to make it sound like people say something completely different like the BBC does, so they are way more dependable in that sense. But that's sort of like comparing them to Pravda so the bar isn't set very high.

They really don't claim to be anything else than conservative either, and them being conservative doesn't logically make it wrong either does it?

Twitter is really bad for the Labour party because it allows young people to hear dissenting views and criticism that you won't see in large parts of the media.

Labour politicians has done some shocking and outrageous things recently, and are doing terrible in recent polls, most likely because people can go on Twitter and Tiktok and get hear criticism of them.

MMT or Magical Money Tree

Don't ask them on the internet because they'll be put in prison if they complain online!!!

Epstein dealt in arms as well didn't he so that's a bit of a let down as well.

I don't think it receives very much hate.

The Nazi doth protest too much?

Masterful display of someone refuting an argument in a logical in eloquent way, whilst addressing all the points in the article, thank you. The internet is much better after that comment was posted.

edit grammar

Would you like it if people started calling you fascist? Honestly?

Well the accusation was that he would have been born in Kenya, which you may want to research a bit further. The birth certificate he presented was reviewed by two independent people, and both came to the same conclusion which was ...

also: ISIS did nothing wrong

nothing to see here...

yes obviously it's clippy because everyone hated clippy that is the point

the idea is that when your CEO goes on slack or teams or whatever and see 100 clippies they'll be "oh wow, nobody likes how we earn our dollar."

or the very least people who are concerned about surveillance will know who is on their team!

so just do it

I'm serious

leave then

Thank you.

mm Australia isn't one person so it can't say "no thanks" to anything. Could you please refrain from trying to astroturf your political views on Hacker News so that it can remain a good source of information for computer news?

Surely you are still allowed to raise criticism about a CEO even though the Justice Department closed one case?

Do we really want to see links like this on HN?

There's a problem with incentives here probably, if universities get paid for the amount of people they crank out, this sounds like a natural consequence, doesn't it?

that's the joke :D

Why is the code like that? How are people likely to use an API? How does code change over time? How can we work effectively on a codebase that's too big for any single person to understand? How can we steer the direction of a codebase over a long timescale when it's constantly changing every day?

At which point you are studying project management theory, or whatever you call it

Yes that is very true but social science is more of a social practice than computer science

If you run your organization badly, you'll run into problems sooner, than if you are in social science, where you just have to say all the buzzwords and they'll just rubberstamp you true

If you are arguing that my point is that computer science would be 100% falsifiable and social science is 0% falsifiable then you're argument is a bit of a straw man

I'd argue that anything that has science at the end isn't :)

Right I'm not trying to be argumentative here, I see where you are coming from right.

My point being that it's quite easy to demonstrate that it can't scale, by running an experiment.

Meaning that you could quite easily BS your way through that by just agreeing with whatever the status quo is.

Whereas in social science you can't do an empirical experiment, so you're epistemologically on much much more shakier ground

This happens in maths, biology, in all science fields Right but I wrote social science and not maths or biology.

For instance if someone where to say that due to Hegelian Dialeticts and gender critical theory, in the future women are destined to rule the world, this is a good thing, and this will lead to the abolishment of racial inequality and exploitation through capitalism

how do you prove that?

in comparison if the problem is that your software isn't efficient when there are over 100 instance, you can prove that by spinning up 100 instances?

You can't clone earth and force all the inhabitants to enact ideologically pure race critical theory, and then ask the inhabitants in the control group to try out nazism, wait for a while and then use that to prove that one or the other is the best way can you?

aha and if it mostly works there are parts that doesn't work right?

yes so then you have a combination of code that works and code that doesn't work

and the code that doesn't work doesn't work

computer science is not social science

if your code doesn't work it doesn't work

you can't bullshit a computer

for people that are doing social science it's an issue

but they where way past the point of no return already so it doesn't really matter

it's helpful for them, because it means they can get a lot of VC money by putting some ugly 4chan meme pictures on a website in order to get attention

This is almost always a consequence of relying too much on ChatGPT and vibe coding tools.

How do you know it's not because they are to put it bluntly stupid or lazy?

being good at software design isn't about memorizing the specific details of a single language or subjects

languages are subject to change

hire people who are good at finding information

not someone who is good at blindly memorizing details of a specific instance of a language or system

someone who memorized every single detail of COBOL will be a worse coder than someone who spent time thinking about abstract thinking and problem solving

you'll want to double check everything anyway

this shows of a fundamental lack of insight into what it means to be a good developer

it's like someone who thinks they are smarter than everyone else because they spent thousands on hours on playing chess

this student who has memorized the full specification of HTML, CSS and Javascript will be useless if you ask them a question about lets say Erlang, and is easily replaced by a book

dev atrophy test - can you still code without ever reading a manual

You can of course run consider running your own LLM.

I suppose the problem isn't really the technology itself but rather the quality of the employees. There would've been a lot of people cheating the system before, lets say just by copy pasting or tricking your coworkers into doing the work for you.

However if you are working with something actually interesting, chances are that you're not working with disingenuous grifters and uneducated and lazy backstabbers, so that's less of a concern as well. If you are working on interesting projects hopefully these people would've been filtered out somewhere along the line.
