Before anyone get's too excited, the Israeli company, Irregular, serves as a cybersecurity test bed for AI technologies. These AI companies were using Irregular to prevent exactly what ended up happening.

Alright, bring on the downvotes.

It's the bloated junior salaries that have killed their market. I never like hiring juniors, I never like working with juniors, and I'd rather pay the extra 20-30% and get someone more experienced. I'm sorry, but if you don't get into FANG, you should basically be working for nothing until you have some experience. It's cruel, it's not fair, but it's just not worth it for the employer. Especially in today's world where there is no company loyalty.

All this BS about AI taking away the stuff that juniors did, in my field, software development, that was never the case. I never worked in a place where the juniors had different work than the seniors. We all did the same things, except the juniors sucked at it, and required handholding, and it would have been faster and better if they weren't there.

The real trick is finding companies that do very simple work, simple enough that juniors can thrive on day one. It won't be the best experience, but it is experience, and the rest is what you make of it.

I wonder if meta is a poor comparison for advertising because they're users tend to spend more time on their products doom scrolling, as opposed to something like google, where you get your answer right away and move on.

I don't know much about IQ. In the most extreme case, of dissimilar education, the different was about 15 points. Is that a lot? What does that mean to laypeople?

Memorizing and tests at school are the archaic approach that schools don't believe in anymore (at least the school board my kids are at), but they happen to be AI proof.

It's the softer, no memorizing, no tests, just assignments that you can hand in at anytime because there's no deadlines, and grades don't matter, type of education that is particularly useless with AI.

One of the parent comments mentioned a similar situation involving a colleague who other comments think was from India based on the description of the dowry.

There are students who get good grades on their assignments and tests, and there are students who get bad grades on their assignments and tests, but there are no good and bad students.

There's too much apologizing for people's horrible actions these days. Nearly everyone is a sympathetic character when you get to know them, but that doesn't excuse them. There were other people, in his situation, who took different approaches that didn't result in locking a woman away in a loveless marriage for her entire life. I'm sure a lot of us come from easier situations, but the people who come from hard situations will probably tell you, yeah, it was hard, it was horrible, but he didn't have to do that.

I think I am totally naive on this subject,

why was the divorce so hard for him? In that society, they just don't let you get divorced unless both parties agree to it? And with the evidence he had of her being a lesbian, does that mean nothing? What is even the point of divorce in that society?

It's funny, I feel like half the reason I use docker is for python projects.

What about the rest of Israel?

I see a lot of comments here are about how other countries should react to this designation, rightfully so.

I wonder also though, how Israel will react. Is this anything new for them?

Is that a codebase you're giving it?

You're.... joking, right?

I think what this proves is that the LLM knows the riddle, and is trying to give the expected answer without paying attention to the insane wording. So maybe this is a good way to fool an LLM.

Government organizations aren't very good at accounting for true inflation, so right now the salary + golden handcuffs combination is way lower than industry compensation, if you're competent. If you're not competent, and you're not doing anything, then you might as well stay.

So when all the dust settles with retaliatory measures, what do we expect? Canadians and Mexicans will feel the pain, I'm sure. Will China and the United States?

Uh, did anyone look through the prompts this guy fed it? It's a bit misleading.

Less a coding piece than a translation exercise. All of the prompts are convert this c code to wasm.

I could be wrong, but I think this is a pretty low benchmark.

That makes sense

So it's not really possible at this time with these general consumer offerings?

Thanks

Hey Chopra,

Thanks for sharing, this is really inspiring!

Just wondering, for other bootstrappers, if you do end up selling for, I don't know, $200 million letsay, how does that money generally get split? What percentage of the company did you own before selling, and what were the tradeoffs when selling ownership?

> Over the course of a year and hundreds of candidates I presented, I've managed to place just one developer in a company

I work at pseudo government organization where we take seminars every few months about dei, gender issues, etc... and it has made 0 difference when it comes to hiring. Ultimately my org is trying to reach out more, get to dei events, but that's as far as the effort goes. Once a job application is posted, it's the same old process. Maybe that's fair, but it felt disingenuous, and unnecessary, especially since we weren't great at hiring anyways.

This guy was an asshole, even for the times. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-nazis-took-be...

Yeah that's a pretty good assessment. There are so many ways to deal with this issue, and so many different implementations of this approach that could have worked better. Just makes you wonder what anyone was thinking here.

I'm very jealous of the cegep program, as a resident of neighbouring Ontario. For all my Quebec friends, it just seemed like an amazing way to test different experiences before committing to a degree. In addition, the work you do in cegep counts towards a bachelor's degree, so french students end up finishing their degrees without losing a year.

> Some people feel cheated when medication allows others to "effortlessly" join this social club, and then become vile and hateful in response.

I don't think this is just about a social club. Battling weight loss and habits is foundational to the human experience from the most recent centuries. Be it drugs, or anything else really that changes the nature of these challenges, people are going to feel discomfort because it's an attack on their understanding of the world, and in some ways, their beliefs.

In my experience, it's very rare that you're in a job that requires you to come up with a solution to a problem no one has ever dealt with before. Custom solutions are often a sign the engineers in question didn't do the appropriate research to find the standard solution for the problem.

I've been a software developer for 10 years, and I've never worked on a problem that someone else hadn't come up with a solution for somewhere. And if they haven't, alarm bells go off as to why I'm the first to do this, and where down the pipeline did I deviate so horrifically from the norm.

I agree with the urban planning bias here, especially the idea that you shouldn't build more roads to fight congestion because more people will use them, and thus they'll reach the same saturation point anyways. Mind boggling that this is an accepted principal, and one that is completely disregarded when it comes to any form of transport that isn't a car.

Creating a separate for-profit arm is trivially easy.
