You are completely right. I am not entitled to anything. But before I was paid to have fun, I spent years trying to get better at it and then suddenly it completely lost its value. From fun of solving crossword puzzles to the dread of validating if crossword puzzles bot solved crossword puzzle correctly, with worse pay, less job security or opportunities.
I am not entitled for things to continue as they were, but I can still feel sad about it, you know.
For me, I made things because I liked the process of making things, it was never really about the result. Much like solving crossword puzzles is about the process itself, not about getting the answer.
I think it’s supposed to mean “open source is easily shipped, but open source is hard to deploy”? Or perhaps “deploys hard” is a figure of speach, as in “we are deploying this open source and we are deploying it /hard/“? I don’t know, it’s not good.
He addressed it as “job market is in such a bad shape, so perhaps even seniors won’t have any other option”, which might be true, but is sad nonetheless.
What if I want the opposite? I was modernizing library usage in C# project and I very much missed a functionality of “show me all classes imported from this package in the current class”.
qntm is really talented sci-fi writer. I have read Valuable Humans in Transit and There is no Antimemetics division and both were great, if short. Can only recommend.
Oh, GTA 2 had one where you had to steal a bus, go through its route stopping at stops, picking people and then you had to drive the bus to the sausage factory…
Wait, I live in central Europe, shops are normally open on Sunday and I do have to be on call on weekends (albeit only once a month). Did I miss the part where we became America?
I have tried this very same combination - F12 + FreeBSD + KDE on Wayland and WiFi works to me out of the box (even during installation!), but a lot of things doesn’t work for me - suspend and resume doesn’t work at all (even when I blacklist WiFi kernel module - suspend starts working, but resume doesn’t). A lot of apps on KDE also crash for me - every time I try to run Konqueror or Falkon they crash immediately).
I think that the reason why everyone is acting surprised about your suggestion is that the target wasn’t to obtain the page in some higher level framework or anything. The HTML of the page was what the author wanted Claude to output. Would he used source HTML as an input, there would be nothing for Claude to do. Different exercise.
OK, but do you expect Valve to do anything about first two problems you have mentioned? (OK, saying “our next console will be a bunch of refurbished PCs we have sourced from local junkyard” would be a flex)
When my friends talked about how AGI is just creating huge enough neural network & feeding it enough data, I have always compared it to: imagine locking a mouse in a library with all the knowledge in the world & expecting it to come out super intelligent.
When they try to reason about the origin of the “Q*” name - I bet that the “star” sign in the name is a throwback to the old famous “A*” algorithm. It would also fit the theme of pairing the reinforcement learning and state space search.
To be honest, in programming, the speed of writing on keyboard itself isn't the most limiting factor during development. I've forced myself to learn to touch type (not fully, I don't press spacebar with a thumb of opposing hand as last letter written, I also almost exclusively use left shift), but that doesn't make me a fastest programmer around. Development looks more like "I type two words, I look at the screen for 10 seconds, I type one symbol, I look at the screens for 5 seconds, I type one word". Touch typing helps with that, but IMHO isn't really that important.
I work as a Senior Software Engineer for big international corporation in the 2nd world country and $45/hour would be life-changing for me and most of the people I know.
Interestingly, I've read somewhere here on HN that Stadia (which runs on Linux) version is basically a PS version (= FreeBSD version), stripped from dependency on Sony's libraries (and, from what I've got from the reactions, also with better graphical settings).
Yeah, but swapping suddenly isn't as big problem as before (probably). You had to be very careful not to hit trashing on x86_64, now you don't have to worry so much.
Or that's how I understand this, I don't actually own M1 Mac.
