tangjurine··on Could AI Outshine Us in Ethical Decision-Making?
I don't think we need to "solve morality", just having the decision makers not make obviously corrupt and stupid decisions and then shamelessly lie about it.

Like there's the stuff that can be refactored because the changes are local, or the places to change are clear.

And then the stuff that is a lot harder to refactor because you would need to change code in a lot of places, and the places that need to be changed aren't clear. That's probably more the proper design of a codebase stuff.

The author isn't a professional programmer. He has a couple side projects and doesn't seem very good at coding.
tangjurine··on A coder considers the waning days of the craft
I don't think you can call this guy a coder.

I can solve some math problems/write some proofs, but I wouldn't call myself a mathematician.

It's about if you do it for a living, and this guy mostly has some fun side projects.

Don't think this guy is qualified to comment on ChatGPT taking over, like another comment was saying.

tangjurine··on Hard-to-swallow truths they won't tell you about software engineer job
> your work will be so compelling your mind will keep working on it after hours

Do you think for most people, fixing little bugs is very compelling, or do you think it could be that people are stressed and don't want to get fired.

tangjurine··on Teaching with AI
I think writing for yourself is very different than writing for school or for someone else.

I suffered through writing classes for years and it made me hate writing.

It was only when I started journaling that I started liking it, and liking that I got better at it.

Is it worth making students better at writing if it means as adults they'll not want to write again?

tangjurine··on Growing scientific interest in vagus nerve stimulation
There's a whole different set of heuristics people develop when working with reasonings that might not be right but give a better outcome for whatever reason.

Scientific reasoning is a relatively new phenomenon on top of the old way.

Interestingly, scientific reasoning is getting so prevalent that people don't imagine the old way existed...

tangjurine··on Ask HN: What's the biggest red flag you've encountered during a hiring process?
I took a look at the two graphs.

I would prefer the price of onions - seems like the price is a lot more stable other than a few points out of the year where it is very high. For those times, I could choose to have a small store of onions or go without.

For the price of corn, if the price is high, chances are it will be high for a while, so I'll have to go without for a while...

What do other people think?

tangjurine··on Therapy as a way of aligning with your subconscious
So do people go more, just because they can?

If not, then being able to more doesn't matter, other than perhaps insinuating that it's everyone's fault for not going.

tangjurine··on Attention Is Off By One
> Statistically, we expect that averaged vector to be close to zero.

I'm not sure that's the case, especially in high dimensions.

The expected value of the absolute value n random variables, uniform [-1,1], grows with n. I'm pretty sure it's proportional to the sqrt of n.

Also, random walks in high dimension return to zero with probability zero, so the sum of random variables in high dimensions going close to zero seems unlikely as well.

tangjurine··on Teaching Programming in the Age of ChatGPT
Yeah, my design problem is the language I'm using, the language version I'm using, the outdated framework I'm using, and the 3! frontend frameworks I'm using on my job.
