I can tell you that Tokyo is very loud. Constant road traffic noise everywhere, drunk people singing on the streets, pointless warnings from the local municipal office on the public alert system, noisy street advertisements, constant announcements in train stations, bousouzoku gangs constantly revving their bikes in silent neighborhoods every night, flight traffic noise, railroad noise of the trains passing, level crossing barriers constantly ding-donging, etc

Yeah, that sounds logical. Some of the most popular technologies of this time are just teeny-tiny tools, but some of long obsolete technologies and their attached skills which have no correlation to anything recent is somehow fundamental and has magical properties in your view :D Thanks for the good laugh!

> Databases have been studied and their properties understood for a very long time.

No they haven't. Noone ever considered schemaless databases or column-storage databases or vector databases for half a century after the birth of computing. So that kind of knowledge (relational DBs, etc in the 60s and 80s) meant nothing in light of these new technologies, and required completely different skills and knowledge.

But it's clear you are not familiar with these technologies, so it's a waste of time to engage with you now

Well, I can see your point, but this assumes that engineers only care about their career and or personal relationships. But I know that many engineers care deeply about a project's success and project goals enough to endure bad leadership for very very long times, because they know from experience that the average leader is mediocre, so switching teams or companies is a gamble, and not all life situations allow people to gamble with their lives.

Kubernetes is not a fad. DynamoDB and MongoDB is not a fad. Golang is not a fad. These were all born in the last few decades, so they are rather new, and they will stay for equally long decades. And the list goes on and on... So all of those skills in your list mean nothing when it comes to these fundamental technical tools. They require an understanding on a completely different abstraction level which is equally complex as of those that you listed.

So if you don't have the understanding of these technologies when the project requires it, you are obsolete and you have no right to be in a leading position. And such fundamental technologies are born continuously.

So this myth that you can have fundamentals and that's enough is definitely untrue.

That's a question too generic. But yes, I guess? And people get Nobel prizes to point out that said advances have been causing the downfall of empires and nations.

Bad troll!

No

This is pretty much untrue. Look at India, Africa, South America, Japan, Singapore, UK, Israel, the Arab world, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Norway, Switzerland, or Australia and compared to them the EU is doing just fine

What? You look confused. Empathy and constantly having someone's back is not manipulation. It only ever gets manipulative if you pretend to do these things and then let your peers down at critical moments.

Does this person have some kind of mental issue? I am seriosuly asking this, not mocking him. Because by reading through this post it stands out to me that he doesn't mention or highlights empathy. And that's where his problem stems from

Interesting, I can see a clear connection between the two subjects on this image: https://britneyspears.ac/physics/basics/images/britneycbvb.j...

This can't be coincidence!

What I find interesting is that most Asian countries have top spots, while Japan is still in the 60% range. Why is that?

Why though? This is a common problem which only requires one thing: empathy/politeness from the screenshot sender. They ask your for your help and attention, but they can't be bothered to not to waste your time. I think it's fair to point out that this is bad workplace behavior

I think slack and other mail/chat clients rescale the image and apply aggressive compression on it. Sometimes they even crop the image or make it so that you need to scroll left and right. Also your syntax highlighting might be annoying to others and might make legibility worse for the receiver, and as other people pointed out most chat/mail clients support monospace code blocks. Plus I agree with all the things that the blog post author pointed out.

Great video. I came across it a few weeks ago and I was surprised how much the financing from the Asian governments mattered in shaping the industry

I think OP wanted to have a proof that the submitter can demonstrate understanding of both the system and the code in the PR. So how would a guidance solve that? Also OP didn't want to ban them I believe

> to invest a lot more in testing and evals

I don't think this will work. The same arguments could have been said to mitigate junior devs' work or short timeline/high stakes project technical debt and rarely ever anyone listened

I haven't read the paper, but what I am curious about, how much of the damage can be turned back if someone becomes physically active after a long sedentary period? Let's say someone already had low fat oxidization and/or cardiovascular disease, how much of that can be "cured" by being active?

This post claims: the good news is, this is reversible. But is that so? Is it also proven to reverse things in all cases? I would imagine there are caveats, and things are not that rosy in reality.

The reason I am asking because if the answer is "None. It can only keep the symptoms from worsening" then it's not really reasonable to expect people with such physiological situation to become active again.

They will most probably need to put in much more effort to achieve much smaller gain compared to a healthy individual, which is as I said is unreasonable. Especially because some people simply have worse genetics and or social circumstances which they might not be able to change.

So I appreciate these findings, but how I read this: you need to be aware of this to prevent the ill effects. And I doubt the reversible claim (although I have not much of an argument to corroborate that).

I think this is a very naive take. Japanese people will blame you for any failure regardless if you respect them or not. And many times failures happen in japan exactly because people are sitting around doing nothing without acting even when it's urgent to make decision. Backstabbing and toxicity is the major feature of japanese business culture

I am not sure I am buying this. There is nothing human about japanese business procedures. Most japanese business procedures usually only serve micro managing purposes, and the nemawashi procedure is basically stripping people who were not consulted before, from giving their honest input and impact in the decision making. In my opinion it creates more problems than it solves

I think it's very cynical to say that this is a misuse. And it's definitely cynical when this categorization of misuse comes from the service provider itself. If openai doesn't want to allow misuse, they can just decommision their service. But they don't want to do that, they just want to take the money and push all the responsibility and burden on the users even though they are actively engaging in said "misuse"

Good. Now we just need to add technical advice to the list of advices which ChatGPT cannot be used to cite for

This is the shallowest kind of pseudo-intellectualism, why is this even on HN?

Yeah, I am in the same boat. My files are either non-staged or committed about 99.99% of the time. For me the concept of staging is completely useless

yeah, in your dreams. in reality the bubble started bursting finally. this is the proof of it

I call it reasonable thinking

This sounds toxic on it's own right. What a horrible managament practice

It seems amazon itself is aware of this issue. The linked engadget article even mentions this:

> "The rate at which Amazon has burned through the American working-age populace led to another piece of internal research, obtained this summer by Recode, which cautioned that the company might “deplete the available labor supply in the US” in certain metro regions within a few years."

It sounds like you think the SLA is just toilet paper? When in reality it's a contract which defines AWS's obligations. So the lesson here is that they broke their contract big time. So yes. Shaming is the right approach. Also it seems you missed somehow the other 1700+ comments agreeing with shaming

> 3) If things go great and OpenAI ends up buying smaller guys or getting bought out (probably MSFT?) then JPMC will be right in there with those young bankers who don't sleep. They will pull in many many millions in fees with very little expense.

Which is exactly the same argument that the author made, no?
