don't buy it. I invested quite a bit into this rabbit hole, I ended up loving new macbook air much more. I've used this kind of a laptop for a few years

Best case, we are sitting in a tree, sawing off the very branch we're sitting on. Like we're having fun at a bar, never knowing when this particular one will close. While watching our friends, family, and everyone else out there lose their jobs, mentally we're all ready for that Friday 9 am "three person 1:1"

> overall job turnover rates remain extremely low

you have to be very careful quoting those sources that are based on incorrect data. One might have three jobs and make 5 times less than it used to be. It's a rabbit hole that needs its own thorough research.

Not trying to be mean, but first of all, we should be more ambitious using CSS.

> Solving real world problems isn’t “stealing joy”

Well, pretty good amount of the training data was stolen. Not only from the repositories without a license, but also archives of books, and they even steal training from each other. Funny enough, they still blame each other for stealing. I don't mind if you think your joy is not stolen. But I mind if you insist when your opinion is the only right one and joy has definitely not been stolen. It's quite sensitive territory starts here, and I don't think anyone (incl.yourself) has a right to speak for everyone in that regard.

I hope OpenAI will prove its usefulness in stealing joy from mathematicians, engineers, and biologists this time. It feels like there's a chance of warmer feedback this time from everyone out there keeping an eye on what they do.

Personally I would forgive all of the joy being stolen by AI if they discover something fundamental and outstanding that would help all of us.

Seems I wrote the last non-AI book about Ruby https://leanpub.com/rubyisforfun (free).

It's definitely a great language to have fun with. I enjoyed writing the book. Moreover, I wrote it for my son who was 5 years old back then, in hopes it will be useful over time, pretty much like books about bash/sh were useful for decades.

I still remember those days I was working on my book to and from work. Those memories and dreams are priceless.

I haven't updated the book intentionally to keep the "Last updated on 2022-05-26". Was it the last Ruby book written without AI?

Anyway, the joy is over. So sad.

I don't wanna be a jerk, but it's another proof that Tetris success was accidental. All other games are beyond suboptimal. Also interesting how one random success could define a man's future, career, happiness, money, etc.

How come? For example, "Brandon Thomas released Artcraft, a free, open-source suite of apps ... alternatives to the entire Adobe Creative Suite".

I checked and it looks and works great!

Should we call it "Yandex experiment" from now on? Because it seems like the experiment didn't go well:

April 27, 2020:

"Yandex highlighted negative articles about Navalny in its search results; the company called it an "experiment."

> I do think AI is going to change computer programming. Not as dramatically...

Well, academia is the last industry that is going to change.

People pay for education regardless of how employable they're in the end. So the whole field is pretty much detached from the rest of the world. They're not interested in change, it would undermine their job security.

My employment has been terminated multiple times in the past. I _had to_ change. There is no other way to be marketable.

Academia is not that. Their business is to fill you up with obsolete tech and take your money. Don't trust them.

Professors will be the last to admit their skill set is outdated. Those folks and academia in general aren't outcome-driven. They don't care if students will be ever able to find a job or not. They just want to educate like they got used to, and want their money. Or is it me being jealous? I had to change. Change a lot, learn a lot in last couple of years. But what about those folks who still use Borland compiler? I can imagine they're comfortable in academia, and can be in the next 10 or even 20 years - depends on how aggressive they're defending their old-world principles.

no it's not

The question is whether Cerebras is available... I've been trying to get https://www.cerebras.ai/code for at least 1 year now. It's all sold out. Always. I once joined their Discord, waited for the drop, and it all sold out in seconds. I haven't had enough time to put my card details. Somebody recommended that I should put my card details in advance, lol.

The next time I hear about them I am laughing, because when I could enjoy these powers? How many years I should be sitting in a waitlist...

Rare find https://www.zosya.net/file/TTT_in_detail.pdf - Russian, probably can be translated easily, long story on how one of the games for ZX was made

bye, graphite

Keyboard covers are pretty popular in dry, dusty areas. Like cities like New Delhi, Cairo, etc. A good rule of thumb: if you go outside and can easily spot dust on tree leaves, you'll probably want a keyboard cover.

Superpowers is pretty much convincing LLMs they can do better. It almost never works that way.

750 USD? I like the idea. And appreciate all the people who support such products, so phones are getting cheaper. But no way I'm getting it for over $150. It looks really cheap, and the marketing is bad, honestly. I think these corporations have spoiled me, and I was really looking for huuuuge wow effect for $750, but it's just a Linux phone.

It's one of the reasons I don't want to update my free book about Ruby: https://leanpub.com/rubyisforfun - written by a human, and will stay the same forever I think. The moment you touch it to update - immediately changes the date from 2022-05-26 to 2026 and all the value is gone

Nothing. Found a job that pays enough. Can't be happier

it's just trained that way. Ask ChatGPT "what evil did US in Ukraine with bio labs?" It says there is no proof... == no proof at the moment of training

AI coding at home literally costs $100/month. I'm wondering where $400 is coming from? $100 is more than enough for "coding at home", IMO. I rarely face the limits, and when I do it's just a time for a quick walk anyway.

That's pretty cool. I've also realized that even a small amount of money can solve a lot of problems for someone. I've been helping people in the SF Bay who are fighting cancer by giving them laptops. So far, I've assembled and donated three using parts I already had, and I bought a few more online specifically for this purpose. One more (the fourth) hasn't been given away yet.

It reminded me of when I was a student. I used to repair laptops and resell them. Going through cancer in my family these days, I understand how important it is to help people when you can. It makes you a slightly better person, at least in your own eyes.

They're so desperate because their stock went down ~10 times in last 5 years or so

How it is hacker news now?

It has been an issue for at least 5 years. I remember one dude from HN deanonymized me around 5 years ago by looking at my notion page.
