There was a huuuge GCP outage just a few months back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44260810

This is even cringier

Except the fact that as I explained to you in another comment this is not true. Businesses are a person. Not the ordinary natural person, but a juridical person

That statement is not so true as you think it is though. Legal entities as companies for example are juridical persons in most countries. This principle is called company personhood.

I would add EventstoreDB (now KurrentDB) and NATS to the list of questionable service providers. The former has already relicensed it's service, and the latter had also intended to do so, they just chickened out after seeing the reactions and resistence from their user base. It's really become a business strategy at this point to pull the rug below the users.

If Tahoe made M1 slower then I am sure it was intentional. Apple had done this in the past and been fined for hundreds of millions in different courts all over the world. So I am pretty sure they continue slowing software down intentionally on older hardware. You can google "batterygate" and you can see for yourself

Apple was fined all over the world for intentional malicious software slowdown by different courts in many countries. Just google "batterygate". At this point this a proven fact that apple had been doing this. I am pretty sure they continue to do so. Why would they stop?

You realize that what you write makes zero sense. Those rules will all be there regardless if you generate your code by hand or with AI. So you should ask your god to give you higher cognitive skills instead

Those metrics don't imply any level of productivity though. I could write 1000s of lines of code across hundreds of commits each day without delivering any value to anyone

I thought this blog post was a parody. And to my surprise both the author and the audience takes it seriously. Weird

What pisses me off the most about this, is that CEOs still preach about how life-long learning is a must. Stop that fucking bullshit, will ya? If you as a CEO don't give a flying fuck to invest in knowledge, than you have no right to preach from that high horse of yours to do that myself.

edit: to clarify I am arguing against putting in the effort on my own expense which benefits the company because I need to foot the bill which the company should have, so I am not arguing against such self-improvement which obviously benefits me

I wouldn't say it's the worst part, but it's definitely a common disturbance in japan that these idiots called bousouzoku ride around in quiet neighborhoods with their mufflers modified that they are screaming as loud or exceeding 110 but sometimes even 110 db.

And they really look like idiots when for example I easily pass them on my road bike in the Shonan area on road 134 because the roads are too narrow there to pass any cars even on a motorbike (mostly just the roadbikes are able to pass there), and they are just inching forward in the traffic with 2 km/h while revving their engines. Absolute losers.

And the longer summer definitely encourages these idiots to be a nuisance longer

I read this blogpost and I simply see it as a shoplist of pathologies. And even bad at that, because it's only focusing on how these pathologies impact the company bottomline and it doesn't even touch on how destructive this late stage pathological capitalist company management detrimental to society. Financially, mentally but also phsyically. And it also doesn't mention that these pathologies only serve one reason, so that the members of the class who are holding power and capital can extort control and exploit the working class. So yes, people can see the company this way, but if people ignore these problems I listed, they are part of the problem of why capitalism fails for so many and it only benefits so few.

Yeah. This is my exact experience too wrt japan! The japanese just somehow can't assess and manage neither the scale, nor the complexity, the risk, the effort or the cost of software projects. Working in japan as a software guy feels like working in a country lagging 30-40 years behind :/

I asked if you can prove there are 10x or 50x programmers. You shared anecdotes and theories. I will rather wait until you share some evidence.

Mmmmhm. You could have made this argument about 2 years ago, and it would have been credible. But you are making this argument now, when literally hundreds of thousands of engineers are let go in the last few years just in the US alone...? I am not sure how such an argument holds up in such circumstances...

I think there is no evidence of any type of 50x devs. There is not even proof of 10x devs. So if there is no evidence, why is that not a myth?

What a nice f@$%ing bubble this is. This will end very badly for many

My first thought was, even before reading the article, that these cubesats would be perfect for practicing satellite tracking.

Lo and behold the article mentions one of my favorite youtubers, Gabe from saveitforparts! I love that channel.

It's so much fun to see someone tinkering with old hardware to connect to these flying devices. He is a genuinely wholesome guy. It's really fun to watch his videos.

> If I were to give advice from an engineer's perspective, if you're a technical leader considering AI adoption: >> Let your engineers adopt and test different AI solutions: AI-assisted coding is a skill that you have to practice to learn.

I am sorry, but this is so out of touch with reality. Maybe in the US most companies are willing to allocate you 1000 or 1500 USD/month/engineer, but I am sure that in many countries outside of the US not even a single line (or other type of) manager will allocate you such a budget.

I know for a fact that in countries like Japan you even need to present your arguments for a pizza party :D So that's all you need to know about AI adoption and what's driving it

Can you share the code with us? I'd love to see that

Yeah. I also wanted to rely on chromecast for this. But the chromecast button does not even show up when I open that page, so probably that page does not support that

I will take a look into this. That's a good idea indeed

Oh, thanks, good to know

A bit offtopic. Is it possible to cast these videos somehow from the browser to a TV? I know it's possible to download them, but I am wondering if it's possible to stream them to the TV instead...

OK. Thank you for the explanation. But then again, I think you are confusig things. So I am not convinced at all. But at least now I understand where you are coming from.

I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

The Laffer curve simply shows the relationship between taxation and government revenue. It has nothing to do with the policies and the economic theories. In fact, there are two points on both sides of the Laffer curve's maxima where tax revenues are the same in theory. That's just a simple didactical tool, nothing more.

Saying that the Laffer curve is the trickle down economics is as bad as saying that visualizations of a binary tree are what we call algorithms and data structures.

Sorry but I don't understand your comment. Are you sure you are responding to the right message?

The OP specifically called out trickle-down economics. Which is a myth, a false belief that somehow not taxing rich companies and not redistributing a country's wealth through taxes and other means, companies will do the right thing eventually, and they will raise the wages instead by their own incentives.

Which they never do, and only raise wages as a very last resort. They do instead coordinated wage suppression, lobbying governments to take away labor rights from the labor force, outsource their operations, set up new offshore offices to escape paying taxes, etc

So what does your comment to do with that? I think your message doesn't address any of that

The same thing happens in other countries too BTW. Prime example is Japan, where prime minister Abe promoted this nice lie for many long years

I find this comment hateful. Typical hatred fueled comment. Blatant misandry. Why is this tolerated here on HN?
