They actually do?

Your comment has no substance

You could do it by hand at that scale too

Why do you spend weeks adding something instead of directly testing all the later hypotheses?

Good idea! What if the bill you received was in $ every month? Even better, what if it was a flat rate so you’re not surprised by how much you owe?

You don’t understand, there is a parallel universe where people don’t pay for Spotify and totally spend 500 bucks per year on merch for each artist they listen to

Nothing. Also contrary to what the hype is trying to make people believe, the whole field is pretty much in the same place as in 1990

Yeah I’m sure what’s missing in mathematics is miles of parentheses

Holy cringe

Wow I love traditional automakers!!

It’s not enough to rent a 2 bedroom flat in paris but ok

If this had been enacted, there would never have been any scientific progress. Should tell you something

"Why doesn’t my bowling ball go through the ground if it’s denser than dirt??" Mind == blown

« Google workers are nice humans therefore the company is doing good (tm) things »

Maybe it’s time to stop drinking the koolaid.

Yes it’s well known that children in dense walkable mixed use cities such as New York spend all their time outside.

What makes you think you’re more competent than the type of people who were interested in joining OpenAI before?

What if the type of people who made the company successful are leaving and the type of people who have no track record become interested?

Pathetic gatekeeping. Sorry but software engineer are not the same as real engineers.

Can the author provide example of dumb ideas? Or is it "dumb ideas" == "ideas I disagree with"

More generally, it seems like the recipe of this breed of substack author is to take a basic object level opinion e.g. "I don’t like pronoun people" or "AI people are dumb" and turn it a whole pseudo intellectual rant without ever getting to the point.

It’s been 20 years of well-intended governmental initiatives to reinvent the text editor and waste millions of taxpayer money.

What’s the end goal? What are we trying to achieve here?

Once you take in 10 billions then it’s pretty much the opposite, legality is the only things that matter.

Yeah but inflation also affects rich people you see. With this we can have selective inflation but only for proles

I love spending 1% of the GDP to make sure my big pile of metal doesn’t explode.

People here love to pretend 100k is an outstanding overpay

Coders had decades to unionise and setup legal barriers to protect their livelihood.

(Doctors won’t ever be out of a job because of AI because they’ll always get a fat paycheck even just to look at the output spat out by the machine.)

They didn’t out of misplaced hubris and elitism ("just be the best 10x engineer ever and you’ll be safe").

Now they have less than 10 years before their wages start crashing hard.

> I want to earn the scale through hard work

How lost in life do you have to be to start valuing things like that.

I, as an individual, do not care about your SaaS scale. I’m sorry, it literally isn’t weighted at all in my utility function.

This is being downvoted yet there’s a reason why this types of treatments always starts being developed to serve the US market initially

I love being poor and not able to own a home

> I hope that this industry turns it around, and refocus on the prime objective: being nerds.

Actually, the prime objective of the industry is to create surplus value for the capitalist ruling class.

The second software engineer becomes replaceable by AI they’re all gone.

People should stop trying to cope and pretend that life is very long when it’s not.

At 30 you’re well into your professional career.

Every. Single. Time.
