I’m sure it will go as well as the countries that used crypto for their currency.

By leaving they gave up all their special exceptions, and rejoining would mean that they have a worse deal than the one they had when they got fed up and left the EU. It’s like they’ve been looking at Trump’s Iran strategy.

Oh no. Twist my arm.

Wow, even with the image from the OP, I still didn’t expect Hercules to be darker than Aladdin.

Predictable the HN comments are full of people raving about how amazing Tesla FSD is. On one hand, it is genuinely magical that you can get into a car and engage the technology and watch the car drive itself without incident. I took a Waymo in San Francisco a few years back as part of a group and it genuinely felt incredible to be picked up and dropped off without any human intervention.

On the other hand, the same is true for drunk drivers; that someone who can’t even stand up or answer basic questions can somehow pilot a vehicle home without crashing is kind of astounding. There are people who do this regularly without crashing or getting caught.

In neither case would I trust either of them with my expensive car, much less my even more precious life, much less the priceless lives of my family. Human beings are bad drivers and we don’t trust them - we mandate they carry liability insurance for this very reason.

Eventually I may trust the technology enough to support it and use it, when I see cold, hard data that it performs as good or better than a sober, attentive driver. I don’t think we will ever see that from Tesla, who consistently over-promise and under-deliver, to the point many people would consider it fraud.

People are terrible at assessing risk, and the fact that people are willing to trust their lives to a system that can fail in unexpected ways at any point because it once completed a single trip without incident are proof of this. Even bad drivers go many miles and many trips without any issues, and they drive in all weather conditions without any geographical restrictions.

The study found that young people were growing less hopeful and more angry about the technology, even though around half of the demographic was using AI either daily or weekly.

“Even though”? I would argue “because of”. They’ve used AI enough to know that it’s inconsistent and unable to actually do their jobs, but it’s either being used to justify layoffs or as a cudgel to push you for unrealistic increases in productivity. Maybe the AI will one-shot a prompt and save you a bunch of time or maybe you’ll spend three times as long rewriting prompts in the hopes that the next time will do the trick.

Moreover, people like me explicitly avoided management as a career path. I wanted to do the work that got me into the field to begin with, not manage a bunch of people to do it for me. Now everyone is a middle manager, just of the world’s most frustratingly inconsistent employee who never learns and doesn’t respond to anything other than you asking again but in a slightly different way.

For everyone except C-suite executives and shareholders, this is a fucking nightmare. The Jetson’s envisioned a future where productivity gains increased so much that an employee worked two, one-hour days a week, doing nothing more than pushing a button. Instead we have people working ridiculously longer hours to clean up AI slop, and burning out in the process, leading to being laid off or outright fired, meaning your income drops to zero.

From the article:

Because she works in the medical field, she decided to create a condition related to health and hit on the name bixonimania because it “sounded ridiculous”, she says. “I wanted to be really clear to any physician or any medical staff that this is a made-up condition, because no eye condition would be called mania — that’s a psychiatric term.”

If that wasn’t sufficient to raise suspicions, Osmanovic Thunström planted many clues in the preprints to alert readers that the work was fake. Izgubljenovic works at a non-existent university called Asteria Horizon University in the equally fake Nova City, California. One paper’s acknowledgements thank “Professor Maria Bohm at The Starfleet Academy for her kindness and generosity in contributing with her knowledge and her lab onboard the USS Enterprise”. Both papers say they were funded by “the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad”.

aEven if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.

May never recover? 80 years ago, Germany was split in two and the depths of the holocaust were still sinking into the worldwide consciousness. Given enough time, it absolutely can recover. Probably not in my lifetime, but eventually it might. Or maybe it’ll end up like Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, or the nation of Taiwan. Wait, that last one hasn’t happened yet… forget I said anything.

He’s been promising infrastructure day for a decade now… nobody thought that’s what he meant.

Large tech companies have a history of providing an API, and then copying or cloning any integrations that are successful. I’m shocked people still continue to provide free product/market research for these massive companies. If you have a valuable idea, the company you built it on top of will steal it.

At least the creator of OpenClaw got hired by Anthropic; Cursor is still struggling to justify its existence after Anthropic jacked up its rates and provided a direct competitor.

Third party services are not optimized in this way, so it’s really hard for us to do sustainably.

If these companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars by providing a service to third parties can’t make money providing that service to third parties… how is that not flashing red lights and screaming sirens on Wall Street? If you’re making a ton of money using their service, they’ll steal your idea to try and stay alive. If you’re not making money, they will cut you loose before you burn more of theirs. It really is that simple.

I’m sorry to give you the anxiety from seeing a reply to your comment, but I just had to say that I feel this intensely.

He’s too busy shrugging off Russian intelligence sharing with Iran to help Iran target and kill American soldiers. Not nearly as disrespectful to our troops as that time Obama saluted a Marine with a coffee cup in his hand.

Kaley Chiles has a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado.

A bunch of places had that information but not the actual college(s) she earned her degrees at. Her LinkedIn has her education, but I don’t want to log in to view it. I did see the logos and they confirm this information that I eventually tracked down:

Denver Seminary, Master of Arts, Clinical Mental Health, 2014

Dallas Baptist University, Bachelor of Arts, Biblical Studied and Psychology, 2012

Spoiler alert: This country had roughly the same amount of integrity and ethics prior to 2016. The only difference is that Trump gave everyone who gave lip service to integrity and ethics permission to unmask and expose their hypocrisy. To those people, ethics was just a weapon to tie the hands of the few people who actually had strong values.

GitHub VP of developer relations Martin Woodward explained in a post on X later in the day Monday that Copilot inserting ads into PRs isn’t actually new behavior - it’s been doing so in the ones it creates for a while.

That’s… worse?!

“I understand everyone is upset that we’re grinding up little girls to lubricate our machinery, but we’ve been grinding up little boys for years to do that. Still, we’ve heard you and will stop grinding up little girls. For now.”

Reminds me of Afternoon Delight from Arrested Development.

Honestly, medication helped with this for me. Seeing how hyper stimulants make other folks while they settle me down. The amount of productivity I experienced in my first few weeks of medication was outstanding. Sadly, those tapered off and while i didn’t return to mean, now I barely functional without them.

Of course autism is not treatable by medication…

Presumably you had some point that you were trying to convey with your comment, which is going to get lost by the people who will see it as simply victim blaming. The tone of this reply and your other comments suggest that you’re fine having an abrasive personality and care more about some sense of being right than constructive criticism, so I’ll just leave it there and wish you a good day!

Didn’t think I had to spell this out, but in all three cases it’s victim blaming. Men blaming women for being raped, white people blaming black people for being shot by the police, and the previous poster blaming people for getting caught in shitty contracts by predatory companies. On a scale of severity they’re in completely different universes, but that’s kind of the point of an analogy: to use a more extreme example to illustrate why something is wrong.

Edit: And to be clear, this comment was not addressed at your comment, but the poster who replied to you.
