This is either a troll or a shockingly naive understanding of how scarce resources are allocated

my way of working is make sure I understand every bit of it. Something is still lost but I feel confident my ability to understand systems is not atrophied at all. And its actually improving because I can crunch through new systems rapidly and have a private tutor. Of course its best supplemented by human team members who actually know whats going on. Its not a panacea. But its incredibly useful

I think its that theres a way to use them really well and a way to use them not well and it comes out as a wash in the study if you dont stratify it. Im sorry, call it anecdotal if you want, I dont really care - I know what its doing for me on a day to day basis.

Yeah theyre amazing at debugging.

As long as you make sure you genuinely understand everything that comes out of it, and your domain has enough coverage in the LLM training data/context, its an incredible tool.

idk. I get more stuff done, faster, that I wouldn’t have been able to. You have to use it judiciously and with supervision - I can see how letting it get out of control would negate the benefits. But with good use, its undeniable.

If you don’t understand the difference between existing in proximity and being disruptive then you are inconsiderate

Why is that rude? Youre just expressing yourself. Im responsible for my reaction. Right?

is there anything, in your view, which would make someones behavior objectively rude?

Kissing != making noise. Maybe you need to consider paying more attention to how your actions affect others in public spaces

I could be clearer. I’m saying that the fact that OP even noticed and was annoyed by it is evidence that facetime man is at fault, unless OP identifies as someone with a population-unusual hypersensitivity (eg autism, PTSD), which they didn’t.

People should err on the side of minimizing disruption in quiet public spaces.

The blog says they were talking louder than everyone else in the room. Inconsiderate people always think others should just chill out

If you act like an inconsiderate asshole 50% of the time, then you’re an inconsiderate asshole, even if you follow basic social politeness the other 50% of the time. Seems like an overreaction to call holding the door open “very very nice.” Letting the door close in your face would have made him look obviously like an asshole in front of his friend.

In fact, a lot of wealth is only created by inequality. If wealth is power to effect your will, you have more of it when others are more desperate. The Shanghai wealthy have to spend less to get the same service - they have more real dollars DIRECTLY BECAUSE someone else has less.

I don’t automatically hate someone because someone calls them despicable

Why does it matter to you so much that OC is unambiguous?

Genuine question: are you on the spectrum? I find this reaction strange

this is really hard. nice!

Why does this shorthand upset you?

Would you prefer OC was more specific, ie “the author turned out to be a racist”, or do you have an issue with calling someone like this despicable?

Identical treatment of all people in all situations for all laws does not exist and should not exist.

Children have different labor restrictions than adults.

Police have different gun access than civilians.

Businesses pay a different set of taxes than individuals.

And allowing businesses to do camera surveillance when you enter their property is in no way the same as allowing everyone to videotape each other at all times covertly and without consent. I really can't understand what process of reasoning could even get you there, besides "equal rights absolutism," which makes no sense.

I believe NYC cops should be able to have guns. I dont want guns to be widely accessible in NYC.

I’m comfortable with armed security at an airport. I’m less comfortable at a supermarket.

absolute rules only hold in math. in life, almost everything is a matter of degree and of details. that doesnt make it hypocrisy

you genuinely dont see a difference between

(1) a single or handful of security-angled cameras controlled by a local business for security purposes

(2) any individual possibly recording you at eye level at any second without you knowing, and having the ability to use and manipulate that footage and upload it to the internet

During my first role at <big company>, I believe I accidentally made an enemy of a couple of directors due to ill-timed interpersonal awkwardness and unwillingness to suck up. What can I say - I thought tech was about meritocracy and cutting the BS. I was laid off in the next round despite doing good work. I learned my lesson and now I’m (I think) well-liked.

Its pretty clearly AI written but human curated (hopefully). To me it didnt read like unadulterated slop

High quality, charming article. The Hikaru defeat mentions made me chuckle. One possibility I think you’ve omitted is that they slopped the puzzles pretty hard

The fallacy is that f(t+N) can be obtained by iterating f(t+1) N times. This is the “step”

You don’t consider supporting “remigration”, aka forced expulsion of non-white-skinned people, to be actively malicious? What if he was physically going door to door and assaulting immigrants? Would that also be out of scope for you?

this argument assumes that capex and training costs will go down over time. but theyll have to keep up with one another and stay on top of latest knowledge so Im not sure if thats true

i dont think the blog is proposing a long-term criteria. the ugliness is funny and worth noting now because its currently happening and a great symbol of them pushing plainly horrible stuff down our throats
