That is a pretty stupid comment and a bad analogy, to be honest

Yes, founding engineer math doesn’t work. Its a way to buy you cheaper than market can offer for comparable work/risks.

Okay. Cause it still feels like running on a potato phone on latest iphone :)

Whatsapp, really?

I think HN “crowd” on average is smarter than a random or some hype eating crowd on the internet.

Smarter people tend to be more sceptical and resistive when something gets shoved up their bottoms too much or much more than it seemingly deserves.

Nothing special about AI here, it’s a general tendency.

Philosophically or metaphorically speaking - yes.

But in my comment it is literally what some subset of lawyers do.

Literally is much more tangible and risky in terms of real impact on employment etc.

Thank you! As a non native speaker I was not sure if “and butter” is a mandatory part but didn’t want (nor had time) to llm the comment for the sake of authenticity :) TIL

In general it is not surprising. Even if this particular study is bad.

There are certain areas of law work that are about analyzing large amounts of texts, drawing conclusions and writing other texts based on that and nothing more. That is literally the bread of LLMs.

Those types of lawyers should be the first in line for unemployment, not programmers, not even close.

I was successful since the moment I was born.

Because modern so called atheists is a popular religious cult of its own, they tend to cancel anyone challenging it, because of lack of better arguments.

> It is hopelessly self-centered to claim that they were made in God's image.

Much less self centered than assume we’re developed from a mud on our own, without any external intervention.

> It is hopelessly self-centered to claim that He made the world just for us, and put us above all animals.

Not a bit more than think that we’re ultimate authority to judge and decide who is above who

> It is hopelessly self-centered to literally centre the Earth, and have the Sun rotate around us.

Geometrically it is an arbitrary choice of the coordinates system. Cosmologically and historically it was only an intermediate view held by many nations regardless of their religious views. Generally, the Earth is a truly unique planey unless found otherwise.

Yeah it’s funny to compare yourself now when you touched some real thinkers and real wisdom and years ago when you thought charlatans like Dawkins were worth trusting :)

Natural scientist by education and degrees and raised in implicitly atheistic soviet family in my pursuit of truth I started noticing more and more evidence of the world picture without God not making much sense and fundamentally incomplete, flawed in many ways. Also it is heavily pushed down modern western people’s throats with very little real scientific support for its foundational claims.

Also noticing people pursuing their own agenda and manipulating others with “atheism” religion.

A lot of thinking, logical reasoning and a sprinkle of personal unusual experiences eventually made obvious for me that there is much more to all this than meets the eye. And there must be some deity.

Nobody knows for certain what or who he is, but world with him is much more credible model of reality than without. And by definition he can’t be “proved” so I believe in him technically, though it feels like I know.

Also on a personal note (as you see from many comments here) - many so called atheists are arrogant people (in same way as religious radicals), while most true believers I met are more humble about their faith. Though it is definitely a biased perspective. But still Id rather be associated with best religion thinkers (like for example vast majority of mideveal thinkers that shaped our modern civilization) rather than with so called atheists who tend think they are the center of the universe.

How this works technically? Is it an mcp every llm must connect to?

It’s nice. But unless they commit to bring back reliable and comfortable cars - who cares?

> This leads me to believe that most people either get lucky and then apply a framework in retrospect to justify their luck

Yes, congratulations on finding the truth.

This is the pattern 95% of business, psychology and other pseudoscience is built upon.

The 2 main system reasons behind it: 1) any complex system cannot be really calculated farther in the future than a very short timeframe 2) natural human brain tendency to organize the observed universe into patterns.

The good news is that if you keep buying lottery tickets your chances of winning at least once also grow.

I’m not dismissive, i refute the point OP was worried being true about

Extremely ignorant point of view. Author obviously never launched anything beyond a hellow world

It’s sad but at the same time reassuring to see more and more of your childhood “heros” revealing their ignorance and lack of wisdom.

How do you solve HA?

> It is about the thought leaders becoming dumb

As i said “they are getting power”. Through exposure, normalization, through all the dumb people getting vote rights (and voting guess how) etc.

Nothing is poisoned in tge human nature. It just plays out differently in this age.

I don’t share any of the pessimism.

If you are at least tiny bit curious about looking beyond your IT bubble you know that the majority of population has always been dumb. It’s just biological fact of life.

For better or worse hundreds years ago they didn’t get any power. Today they got internet, got exposure and got power. Nothing is changing on a fundamental human nature or statistical level.

It’s easy and hard at the same time.

Eady because you derive that directly from your hierarchy of values.

Hard because you can’t just “decide” what your hierarchy of values is. There is a significant transcendental part to it that critically depends on other people, on your environment, even God.

This is why many stuck in a limbo of analyzing and rationality justifying their goals.

So eventually all people do the same thing - they just pick whatever their intuition tells them from available options. That’s the framework.

Yes I didn’t finish it. If only few scenes are worth watching it’s not a movie it’s a bunch of clips

One of the boring and meaningless movies I ever seen. No arc, no coherent story, (almost) no humor, no development, no intrigue, nothing.

Only nice picture - then it qualifies as a good YouTube video, not really a movie. Because movies have some laws of the genre, this thing doesn’t even break any laws like great art does sometimes. It just presents a series of visially appealing but fundamentally dumb clips.

I envy people who have so much spare time to waste it on this so called art.

Americans have an amazing trait to make money and marketing bullshit out of almost any idea, however great or silly it originally is.

In the process they usually spoil and dumb down it to the point of making no sense (but making more money).

Happiness? Fine! Well sell that.

Happiness is overrated? Even better! Let’s wrap that and shove it down the throat of different focus group.

This is just brilliant.

Not correct

wrong

Here are only some examples of Israel compromising (land and other) for the sake of peace:

1. Hebron Protocol — 1997

2. Wye River Memorandum — 1998

3. Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum — 1999

4. Gaza Disengagement Plan — 2005

5. Naharayim/Baqura and Tzofar/Ghamr special-regime expiration — 2019

6. Israel-Lebanon Maritime Boundary Agreement — 2022

Those only that were applied, many more offers were rejected by other side.

> Why don't you withdraw within your borders?

They already did that multiple times with no positive outcomes whatsoever, go learn some history

> I have always enjoyed the journey

Don't take it personally, but those are the worst kind of engineers in any real world business context. I watched those type of people ruining projects, companies by overengineering them to death.

On the bright side, such traits can make a positive impact in academic or research context.
