The world is not a friendly place and some people do want to use ai against you and your interests. If the model is open source it makes this harder.

How did you manage/avoid burnout over 35 years in the industry?

Great take

Lgtm

what about the money printing

Yeah great idea we will be safe once the government starts dictating progress gotta stay safe.

His DSLs fail because he doesn't know how to use DSLs. There must be one for each level of abstraction for each little problem, all built on top of a single host language so that they can be intermingled and COMPOSED.

The money printing and lockdowns curbed many ambitions I once had. Inflation in particular is so incredibly destructive and an inexcusable injustice, it might be a psychological effect you are experiencing.

For years I used to prepend site:reddit.com or site:news.ycombinator.com to Google searches but these are tapped out now as the communities have fully reverted to the mean along with heavy censorship. Currently it’s all through networks like clusters of people on Twitter who work in a niche or even 4chan hearsay to keep on top of things.

You see, if you squint hard enough it’s actually all just lisp…

Get a job and do it in your spare time like every other struggling artist who eventually made it.

This makes so much sense

Fair enough, it must be inevitable and the algorithm is irrelevant.

Yeah, is the top only fans girl really 10x or whatever more valuable than the penultimate only fans girl? Same for the arts. Same for most market segments whose products are artfully differentiated to prevent the customer from commoditising them mentally.

Can the algorithms be changed to prevent Pareto outcomes from occurring?

Most content is arbitrary anyway so no real cultural value discovery is occurring with these algorithms IMO, just chance and feedback loops.

Well the old installed the fed and regulated the housing market. Will probably take violence to fix.

My dad was an electrician his whole life, retired at 65 still going out to job sites.

I blame: the currency and inflationary environment

Pathetic

No, nothing I’ve tried in the last 16 years of professional life has worked, other than legitimately good opportunities which do not inspire procrastination.

It's more up to Elon as the man in the arena, rather than Maciej Cegłowski who would be the timid soul in this case.

Hair of the dog, i.e. start drinking again. Hangovers are mild withdrawal effects so you can’t get rid of them without drinking or using a GABA drug like diazepam.

Fucking hell, read a book.

You’re a spiritual being having a human experience :) reconnect with your higher and hidden nature from which you have become separated.

Yep, it’s a grift to shill to non-technical management. AI will do what low code promised to do.

Sounds like the team sucks, run.

Yeah, just conveniently they were ‘dark’, so can’t be substantiated.

The vast vast majority was to Democrats though. Unbelievable pilpul.

The grifter ones hate talking to tech people.

This is the same as the people on 4chan waiting for the mass vaccine die-off, with the chant ‘2 more weeks’.
