I don't know. Did they?

Money spent is money spent.

Let's just say their performance (OKR, KPI, whatever "impact" metric you want) was indistinguishable from a peer that used the AI/LLM monthly allowance in full.

Maybe a $10k raise would be nice?

If a worker doesn't use their AI/LLM budget, can they get a raise?

Are YouTube and WhatsApp social media?

Walking in the cold and/or rain is also quite nice.

The YouTube algorithm seems to be this bad.

I listened to a song a few weeks ago... now that song is in almost every page on YouTube for me. Homepage, sidebar, search results. It's just everywhere.

I've already listened to it. I don't want to listen to it again every single day for the rest of time.

"If" is doing an enormous amount of work here.

> The best design is original, groundbreaking and often counterintuitive.

If you want to talk in absolutes, I'd say the best design is the one that results in the desired behaviour of your audience.

I unwatched the repo yesterday, but that has had no effect. Also changed my notifications email, also no effect.

I have the emails going straight to trash.

35k emails so far, deleted about 10k yesterday.

My inbox is functional so it’s not a big deal, but it’s surprising this activity is not caught by a spam filter or something.

~45k emails (so far) to one email? Totally normal human activity according to GitHub.

I think changing his name to Richard Lambo may not have avoided this outcome.

There are a few scans on Instagram, I'd charitably describe them as "dogshit".

Please do break down the differences.

> why has the title been editorialized

Indeed, the HN guidelines:

> please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize

They're also saying that they don't understand that writing code costs businesses money.

The point of the documentary was to show that Vermeer may have used optics.

That's it.

I'm just making the basic point that we have a wealth of much more hospitable places to live on earth, and somehow they're not viable candidates as "backup plans" for humanity.

Going a little further, living in the ocean is easier than living on Mars. As far as I can tell there are no billionaire-funded submarine civilisation programs.

There are large swathes of earth that are too inhospitable, like deserts. They're more accessible and easier to support life in than Mars, and yet no one lives there.

The deserts even have breathable air.

I'm continuing because this is interesting, not try to prove some point that undermines your perspective.

> Copyright actually defies common law by requiring state power to enforce monopolies on certain information

All laws ultimately require state power. You're deferring to state power by using the MIT licence, which recognises and legitimises copyright law that you take issue with.

> Copyright is sold as "promoting the arts" but in net slows innovation and decreases artistic freedom.

This is a big claim that requires big evidence. Robust copyright law has existed for about half a century, during which time innovation and artistic freedom seem to have flourished. In fact copyright appears to have directly contributed to the creation of the corpus Meta AI is exploiting; it exists because of copyright, not in spite of it.

> [Copyright] primarily enables rent-seeking by publishers at the expense of the public

I think you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Copyright bestows the right of individuals to benefit from the value they create. Without talking about IP law more broadly in a capitalist system (which seems to be your gripe), I think this is a good thing.

I've benefitted greatly from the content of books, as have we all. If authors had to rely on live shows (for a book?), take commissions and sell subscriptions I think we'd all be worse off, because these provide little to no economic security for authors.

Which state are you referring to?

If you think copyright shouldn't exist, you're free to ignore any rights afforded you for your work, "the state" is not going to enforce anything unless you bring a case to a court.

I understand the MIT licence as convention, and it makes sense. It's just you're opining on a public forum about copyright being somehow antithetical to "basic principles on which our governance is founded" whilst attaching copyright notices to your work.

Much of common law is specifically about property, upon which a good portion of modern day governance is founded. So your objection to copyright seems somewhat misinformed.

What is it about copyright that you think is a negative in today's society?

Then why bother with this:

The leads, are weak.

Curious what's bullshit about SwiftUI?

I agree with your sentiment.

I'm a designer but 80% of the time I implement user interfaces. I have to say that the worst user interface code comes from traditionally educated computer science people... it's almost always a huge pile of shit with layer upon layer of useless abstraction.

I think you're right... no one has it figured out, it's all a mess.

> "we've left money on the table because we can't manage our supply chain. Oh, and we've pissed off an entire market segment."

Sounds like your friend ruined his own startup by employing only a junior dev?

> Discord ... immediately and permanently killed every other voice client on the market

Do you mean voice clients like FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, and Slack?

True Tone is also turned on after every OS update.

This is particularly annoying when you calibrate your screen for some modicum of colour accuracy.
