Why?

It's better-than-senior at a some things, but worse-than-junior at a lot of things.

yeah, for sure. occasionally it came up and we had to give small feedback.

Can you share the code?

People will down vote you, but when I worked for a mega corp and a hurricane knocked out our office, they had a plan, and it worked: they set up in a hotel, and continued operations, people stayed employed, people got the products (which were largely essentials) in their supermarkets, etc.

This is not like, super trivial. People needed to figure out power, hardware, networking, vpn, etc.. etc.. etc.. and staffing. A lot of that had absolutely nothing to do with IT, but some of it did.

It matters even with recent cutoffs, these models have no idea when to use a package or not (if it's no longer maintained, etc)

You can fix this by first figuring out what packages to use or providing your package list, tho.

No, we're trying to have a conversation.

I'm skeptical. I wouldn't call brute-force creating, not really. And Google obviously has an interest in promoting AI.

Not to say it's not impressive and good.

You mean roaster? ceto.coffee

What's your farm? How can someone reach out to buy small amounts of coffee from you, say 2-3 70kg bags?

Or, just let their users deal with the bugs b/c churn will be less than the cost of developers.

> AI is creating novel solution to problems humans haven't cracked in centuries

Really?

"After a couple of million suggestions and a few dozen repetitions of the overall process"

How much of it is brute force?

If you mean create as in literally, sure. But not in being creative. AI can't solve novel problems yet. The person you're replying to obviously means being creative not literally creating something.

You can't really make a living anymore being a furniture maker. Even semi-famous people in the industry have a hard time doing it. Only a few make enough to feed their family.

Making cabinets, etc.. sure. But woodworking has drastically changed, and maybe programming is changing that way, too.

Right, but those $11 products have not been sold yet b/c companies were trying to import as much as possible to avoid tariffs.

I've seen this in coffee - roasters buying a year's worth of packaging.

They're going to weigh what they think is the greatest risk overall and tackle that if they have a high-unemployment high-inflation environment. That won't mean cutting rates in all cases.

Sorry, I didn't mean to frame this in any way, just meant to say what's going on.

It's a great case study of someone having no knowledge of something coming in and saying "we can save half the budget" then, oops - saying maybe they can do 5% of the original promise, lol.

I wonder how much DOGE is going to cost at the end of the day? I hope not literally billions of dollars, so maybe the $100b-200b they save will be net positive after the lawsuits, etc..

Stuff gets flagged as "flamebait" or something similar (forget the exact term) on HN - I think this can be done manually and is also automated, but it can definitely be turned off manually by mods - and it gets sent to the void b/c of risk of starting unwanted conversations.

Well, kind of. There are people there who don't care about that.

Long term this also really hurts the faith in the market, so it's going to hurt a lot of people who have exposure to anything on US exchanges.

There is some kind of weird issue here, not sure what it is called, that where if the media were to blow this up everyone would say they are overreacting.

So it becomes a "seat at the table is better than no seat" thing where they won't ask Trump these questions.

They literally just declare the item at a lower value. It isn't hard.

Companies will just lie to get around the tariffs, anyway. See here: https://decentespresso.com/blog/trumps_tariffs_impact_on_you...

This specifically, no reason, Trump administration is just doing whatever they want moment from moment.

Largely, China is a threat to the US politically, and they are a threat to our industry and global economic dominance.

This is also your school's problem, you should talk to them.

Nah probably around 30% from ath, or a little more. 50% would be really extreme. The tariffs will have a massive impact but not that big, imo. It won't completely destroy the US economy.

Yeah but it's been >20 a few times, but sure it does look high.

I think people will tend to argue two points:

1) Debt isn't bad in itself, running a deficit isn't bad in itself. (though they can be bad in some situations!)

2) The US is in the position to "fix" the debt problem in a lot of creative ways (I mean, some pro-tariff are arguing this too, right? just that the creative way is tariffs).
