admissionsguy··on Blue Origin's New Glenn blows up during static fire test
The modern version is "LLMs produce bad code"
admissionsguy··on Aliens.gov Live
I’d argue these are a wholly distinct category of thing than the concepts associated with the words UAP/UFO. Surely there exist experimental aircraft, and that may be of interest to specialists in intelligence and military fields and may be worth an entry in some niche osint blog now and then. Other than that, anything that can be seriously said about uap/ufo belongs in psychology journals.

There is nothing about UAP that can be serious.
admissionsguy··on Gen Z Resentment Toward AI Grows as Adoption Stagnates and Workplace Fears Mount
Will it need bailing out or will it take everyone’s jobs? The opposition to AI needs to make up their mind.
admissionsguy··on Gen Z Resentment Toward AI Grows as Adoption Stagnates and Workplace Fears Mount
I think I watched more Italian Brainrot than all other video content combined
admissionsguy··on Gen Z Resentment Toward AI Grows as Adoption Stagnates and Workplace Fears Mount
I hear that attitude about AI is much more positive in China. So people like him, in aggregate, could potentially be a danger and cause the US to give up the lead for the rest of century. Takes one bad election..
admissionsguy··on America will come to regret its war on taxes
> Most of what people value in public life is supported by taxes

Citation needed. If you value something paid for by taxes you should pay for yourself. Feel free to pool your money with all the other people of value the same thing - should be easy if it's most people.

The tax cuts are fine, the only issue is funding them by deficit spending. The government services/entitlement should be cut instead.

TIL there is a search bar triggered by CMD+Space. After 15 long years.
admissionsguy··on France's homegrown open source online office suite
No a bad thing if you desire the corporate power to eventually become the main force shaping the world :)
admissionsguy··on France's homegrown open source online office suite
Hard imagining well designed web app bottlenecked by server-side processing that is not offloaded to database, or done via bindings to libraries written in compiled languages.

> solutions written in dynamic programming languages like PHP and Python are always woefully slow

True as it may be that they are slow, I doubt it's caused by the use of dynamic programming languages.

> The money should be secured immediately that cannot be touched by the upcoming governments. It should increase taxes. Independence has a price. We as Europeans should be ready to pay it.

You do you, but increasing taxes to build products to replace products built by private enterprise sounds like a 180 degree opposite of what Europe needs to prosper.

admissionsguy··on 4k tons of potatoes to be given away for free in Berlin
Is this what life in Europe has come to?
admissionsguy··on Ask HN: What tech purchase did you regret even though reviews were great?
Aeron chair - nothing special, could have done with a 10x cheaper ikea chair
admissionsguy··on Who Watches the Waymos? I do [video]
Can't they get out and kill the Ubers already instead of sitting in the lot? (half-serious, but I have been wondering what are the reasons they don't just push the price towards zero during low hours?)
admissionsguy··on Prototaxites
So is it the kind of thing that Voynich manuscript describes?
admissionsguy··on FTX insider Caroline Ellison has been moved out of prison
there are some but they required this amount of processing https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/12/06/business/caroline-ell...
admissionsguy··on Ask HN: Is it just me or techno-optimism died in the past few years?
It's just aging. If you were aware of tech climate in the 2010s, means you are past 30 years old and getting jaded. Young people are very enthusiastic about the AI.
admissionsguy··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
Isn't falling for virtue signalling charity donations more of a twattery?
admissionsguy··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
Sounds like he is a refreshingly honest person
admissionsguy··on Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost
> Illiterate incoming freshman are the product of the public middle and high school systems, not the university system.

That doesn't matter for the op's point. Students starting from this base won't get good in 4 years.

admissionsguy··on European Commission plans “digital omnibus” package to simplify its tech laws
I actually see a large stream of people moving to the US. Europe is doomed.
admissionsguy··on Ask HN: What's a Purchase You Regret?
100 euros claude subscription not nearly useful enough
admissionsguy··on What the hell have you built
Is there any good reason to switch from mysql to postgres though?
admissionsguy··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
When your work consists of writing stuff disconnected from reality it surely helps to have it written automatically.
admissionsguy··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
So just the “it’s different this time” mentality shared by all bubbles. Some things never change.
admissionsguy··on Rights groups urge UK PM Starmer to abandon plans for mandatory digital ID
It can also be very difficult to get one if you are non-citizen.
admissionsguy··on Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?
I wish.. must be incredibly liberating and relaxing to be off for two years or more. Living the life of an XVIIIth century aristocrat just with more material comforts and less status.
admissionsguy··on This website has no class
I can only see ~half of each line on my phone and cannot scroll, so whatever they are doing, they are doing it badly.
