one thing i rarely see discussed here... okay, let's assume that meta intentionally has people internally that do things like "bring down the No Kings page specifically at this specific time for political gain." this is like conspiracy level stuff. do you think people at meta aren't liberal and care about this as well? if they were actually doing this people internally would be whistleblowing like crazy

super interesting, i feel like this is an extension of the "complain" skills some folks (including myself) use

Is "R. Axiom" inspired by "A. Bettik" from Hyperion? I love the name :)

i mean this is the same thing as self-driving cars and all sorts of technology - humans are our benchmark, being better than a human and cheaper immediately unlocks massive value everywhere. if i can hire a human-level programmer for ~$100 USD per month, that is an incredible upgrade from that costing me ~$10k per month!

_built on_? not built on the games they developed or the platform they built?

i mean, other smart people have famously delayed cancer treatment without needing poor guidance from LLMs! that's not at all new or unique to LLM chatbots

Completely agree. And I think a lot of roles frame this as "part of the job", something always unavoidable. But if I was an exec and my team was spending half their time trying to read between the lines of my poor communication, fixing that would be priority #1; what an enormous waste of time for people who I (ostensibly) hired for their other skills!

License plate concealers are illegal in NYS. Being able to read license plates is critical for identifying vehicles involved in crimes. I hope you are eventually caught and punished!

you've seen numerous self driving cars plow into people? i'd love to learn more, could you provide some links?

this feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. is this a common attack vector? frustrating that we sacrifice so much usability to prevent niche problems like this.

agree, but agree with another reply that it doesn't even seem like technical competency is the skill used outside of potentially engineering. feels like optimizing for "managing up" (which is code for "making people above you happy" and doesn't necessarily correlate with delivering any type of value) is what these managers do. in other R&D roles (design, product) most managers i've met aren't actually gifted at executing in an IC context

We've been using CircleCI for a few weeks and it's been a great experience. The product is great and their customer service was awesome - they got back to me almost immediately to help me fix a bug on my end. Great stuff!

great design! how are the headlines/summaries written?

This was my experience when I tried Glass - despite knowing it wasn't AR, I still expected it to somehow enhance my experience. This isn't the case - it's merely replacing the screen in your pocket with a screen above-and-to-the-left-of-vision. I'm hoping the Glass team (or someone else) will take notice and create an AR device that can grant this experience that seems to be widely desired.
