Re:FUTO open-sources 1M row keyboard swipe dataset on Saturday April 05, 2025 @02:16AM (#43591278)
FUTO is what tech companies should be
holy moly it got flagged, fuck the orange clown and his worshipers
Some folks who never struggled really believe that sadly.

I remember the story of a millionaire who put the challenge to rebuild his wealth starting from scratch within a year. Long story short, he failed and learned the hard way everything was saying is bs

Lobbying works in mysterious ways in the land of the free.
We did some 1 month copilot test then decided not to use it.

I used and still use gpt 4 for some exploratory and learning with a mixed experience here too. I ask it to populate some tests here and there or to provide debugging pointers and once to help me design a logo.

yes, you will be asked to unlock it
I hope more countries will follow suit
Re:Who's using the LLM feature in all products? on Monday March 17, 2025 @09:58AM (#43388664)
Not me and neither people in my workplace. I always give them a shot in case I am missing a productivity increase then give up. The latest one was pulumi cloud assistant. We even gave up on code assistants.
(in my exp and geo location at least) Hiring and dating are very similar, the more desperate you look the less respect you get. There are a lot of companies out there and an infinite number of ways to make money except getting a job. Good luck!
Re:Do people still think crypto is a scam in 2025? on Sunday March 09, 2025 @10:24AM (#43309250)
In my circle, nobody with some education considers crypto a scam.. And more joiners every day.

The fact that backbone financial institutions are replacing their dinosaur infra with XRP is a big indication that crypto is here to stay.

All the arguments against crypto are still superficial and non-convincing. It seems like most financial institutions could be replaced by smart contracts. People who are into speculation also have a place away from the exclusive stocks club. Others who dont trust governments and banks have a solution now (truckers protest in Canada)..

We are somehow back to the "is internet a scam", or before it "is electricity a scam".. They are not, they are a necessary evolution to meet people'd needs.

Re:List of Brave Browser Controversies on Saturday March 08, 2025 @08:23AM (#43300061)
Thanks!

Louis Rossmann complained that Brave did things, I asked in the comments: like? nobody replied.

Probably recent ones with 0 adoption I would say. Carbon for example. Because there s no way anything with massive code bases can ever retire if that's what you mean.
here s the real question, why HN became a trash bin?

Yeah, I think ByteDance can also write your chatgpt wrapped in nextjs
Re:Truths about IQ and wealth or job success: why IQ matters on Saturday January 25, 2025 @02:54PM (#42824221)
The argument killing the IQ concept IMO is that with enough preparation, you gonna score way higher. All the top publications I could find support that (let me know if you want me to list a couple)

I would rather let Chinese companies take my data than US/EU ones where I have bank accounts. Unless you are a super important, influential person, you shouldn't worry about China.
Re:Ask HN: What will be the next trend after AI? on Tuesday January 21, 2025 @01:30PM (#42783603)
AI and blockchain are here to strive (not the scam version of both), I would bet more on federation and decentralization that would make a strong comeback
Re:IQ is largely a pseudoscientific swindle on Sunday January 19, 2025 @01:26AM (#42754297)
The fact that most people can score really high with enough practice and preparation is just a good sign to disregard it entirely.
wtf, in most of these it s only for government officials. Such a misleading title.

That's too humble to assume it's a dumb question. If a title includes I, me, we, us, ... I am skipping.
Re:Tell HN: A word of advice for new developers on Tuesday January 14, 2025 @02:10PM (#42702204)
if you are one or two steps away from homelessness, fixing that is definitely a priority.
I currently work remotely and was talking to my wife that if I loose this job we will have to relocate, no more remote jobs, I don't want to play the rat race. I participated in hiring (reviewing people's exercices) and all are gaming the system, none could explain simple things in the tech challenge they put together, some are prepared to answer some questions but it takes minutes to realize this person didn't do any of that.

Re:The Rise and Future Fall of MicroStrategy on Wednesday December 25, 2024 @10:34AM (#42509270)
Yeah, the coperedictor.

The current financial system is straight up unusable. Cashing out on the future of money is cool.

Thanks, I didn't know I could just do that.
Weird, there are places where political news can be discussed. You feel you need a variety, others might feel rightfully that it should stick to its purpose. Coming back to analogies, I don't send memes to work chats.
South occupied Golan heights also proxies guess by who
What this has to do with HN?
