I doubt the author would have made something worth posting (much less something that hit #1) if he had attempted to make this by hand while drinking 6 guinness

What is the prisoner's dilemma here? I am a dumb person

I love the website

All they're doing is giving it training data

Atleast according to average daily watch time reported in 2019, Netflix was at 164 million hours and YouTube was at 1 billion. I doubt that ratio has changed much since then

Yes that's exactly my point. Different people have different preferences so it's strange when the parent comment mentions that their mind boggles when other engineers say they don't have anything they want to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All the things you've mentioned if there's no bugs to fix sound really boring to do. They're also high effort, low reward (most of the time). I'd rather do something else that I enjoy, than do any of that since I'd get paid the same amount if I did it or not. Not everyone works on something that they're hyper passionate about, or that is very useful to people, to the extent that they'd work on it if they don't have to

I've also had anecdotal experience in agreement with this. There have been many studies on this but most of them have a similar small sample size. Wonder why it hasn't been conducted with a larger sample size yet, or maybe it has but didn't find anything so it's not being posted on HN ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember Google glass? Besides, I think new technologies are generally thought of conservatively by the majority and will only have a couple of supporters in the initial stages.

What limitations is the author actually talking about? I don't understand

Is there an actual correlation between ASD and developer output?

That is something your phone can do for you without the need for a disposable chip

There's plenty of ways you can 2FA without a smartphone, look into security keys

Ah yes. I'll do that right after I download more RAM.

Think it's called Kernighan's lever.

The upper middle class does not nearly make money comparable to most developed countries. If you make 200k USD a year in India you are strictly rich. I make 10x less than you and I'm still upper middle class. The average rent in a place like Anna Nagar in Chennai (which is probably one of the most expensive places to live) is about 50,000 INR a month or ~700$ for a 3 bhk apartment. In comparison, the average rent in Brooklyn for a 1 bedroom apartment is around 2000$ a month. Just wanted to clarify on the numbers, I do agree with everything else you've said.
