I think the point they're making is that 90% of the discussion is about the thing that doesn't even exist yet

That it drowns out actual problems that currently exist

Companies can deploy even these intermediary models to influence you

Haven't noticed any difference

I also work in games and everyone I know uses Perforce for the reasons mentioned above

Have you considered that maybe they just have a different use case than you?

Its a shame but lets not discount how much promo packet material it generated

A lot of people got value out of this

That rendering style looks really similar to Dreams on playstation

Anyone know if that game uses the same technique?

I think part of it is that some people say a person is 20 petaflops of compute

So if we have that much compute power already why can't we just configure it in the right way to match a human brain?

I'm not sure I totally buy that logic though, since I would think the architecture/efficiency of a brain is way different from a computer

I feel like all fields eventually become math when it gets hard

Yeah if your job is extremely boring it can drag down your overall happiness despite more money

Gotta find a good balance

The smartest people I knew in school didn't seem interested in regular web dev jobs (front end/back end), like that was too easy. A lot of them interned at FAANG doing that kind of stuff but didn't return.

The ones I know are now either at quant firms, doing PhDs in stuff like ML, or working but in some other niche area of software (for example graphics or robotics)

I've worked at a FAANG and there are pockets of interesting stuff (mainly the research orgs) but IMO the average SDE job is pretty boring/unsatisfying, its mostly just wiring services/libraries together, shuffling data around, and fiddling with infra/deployments.

Its really simple:

The PMs/designers and everyone involved need a big project for all of them to get to the next level.

Otherwise what else would they do if there just isn't a big impact project available to work on? There would be no way to advance in their careers.

The incentive of any individual in an organization is not to please the users of the product, its to make the manager happy and meet the job matrix of the next level.

Those incentives drive the product outcomes and the product mirrors the organization

> Obviously, this would be less convinient and wouldn't sync between devices

That's your answer right there ^

Exactly

Its like counting number of bugs or lines of codes as metrics

> Pickup trucks come in last, with an average reliability rating of 41

That surprises me because I've browsed a lot of use vehicles and it seems to me like pickups can go to way higher miles than cars. I see a lot of them still run fine with 150,000+ miles

Maybe the owners are more willing to pay for major repairs though since getting a new one is so expensive?

Interestingly that actually does happen in the motorcycle world

For example Suzuki still sells the DRZ400/DR650 bikes new in the US and both haven't been updated in like 20 years other than color changes

The rumor is they are grandfathered in so they can't do any changes otherwise they'd have to pass modern emissions rules

I don't know what you're talking about, what company uses that language?

Maybe I missed it but I don't get how this improves the JS implementation

Are they planning to run Rust in the browser? Or make some sort of node module that calls down into rust?

No I care more about if the job involves solving interesting/novel problems

Languages/OSs are just implementation details to me, I don't get why software engineers (especially junior ones) are so obsessed with them

To me algorithms/systems in the abstract sense are the actual interesting part of the job

Does it really matter though? Whatever OpenAI does google will just copy and incorporate into GCP, similar to how they lost the race with AWS

If Altman ends up going back to OpenAI, then shouldn't Sutskever be fired/kicked off the board too?

Why would that be a problem?

Is there some rule that everyone at the same company with the same level has to make the same amount?

I found the same eating vegetarian when I tried it a while back

I think it was due to eating less heavy foods in general and less oil/grease

Like 99% of people don't care about any of these

Why does HN always assume everyone is a power user

What about C?

In my engineering program everyone started with C and I'm actually glad in retrospect.

Gives you a good understanding of the whole stack.

I would never inflict that on my kids

Personally I think we should go one step further and introduce an <electron> tag to HTML so you can embed an electron instance within webpages

That's something I didn't get for a long time

There is a difference between being smart and effective
