I agree in spirit, but if not courts, and government, who is the one who gets to decide on it? Since it's a democratic country, if people disagreed or had a strong opinion about it, then would've voted accordingly.

After some time, and muting/skipping through the usual japanese race-content, it’s more bearable. Fastest way for me to find the reason why a train line is down and etc.

Like last week my feed was all about Chiba flooding. Very relevant.

Depends on the algos. My jp account sees none of that, mostly news, jokes and some random what’s happening in parts of Japan.

NA tuned account has more of what you said.

Counter point is, throughout history America didn’t have a competition that surpassed it across many standards. Japan got very close, but got contained in some ways. China doesn’t need to play ball.

I’ve mentioned it in the past as well - all actions look like a knee-jerk reactions and hail marys to try to regain the power.

It's like us saying TikTok content is trash, but a good chunk of people would disagree.

This argument comes up during every big layoff season. A good chunk of people pronounced Twitter dead when it got bought out. But software nowadays is pretty stable, despite its perceived jankiness.

We’re about a year and a half past this conversation. The industry has settled on “Don’t use it for work, unless your company is okay with whatever models. Everything else is whatever, super-majority really does not care at this point.”.

I agree with you in spirit, as we have this problem from time to time as well, but number of businesses migrating off-GH shows this isn't the trigger point yet.

People overestimate how much they care about stuff. Moving off GitHub would be more costly for us than having 5% downtime. Obviously there’s a tipping point, but it shows people are tolerant given the price tags.

It’s for subset of people who cares about that. You can just blanket-ignore everyone who cares about that, and move on.

I’m not that sure if their competitors are catching up in terms of revenue and growth.

And we’ve seen unprofitability not being an issue for a lot of companies. Markets function in funny days nowadays.

I don’t even think they have a PR problem, if their revenue numbers are correct. Sure, maybe in the court of public opinion, but time and time again it shows how it can be fixed.

From the outside, I can see how they want to revamp the institutions with hopes to accelerate timelines, and reduce waste. But it’s also funny because it’s not something that can be achieved in a span of 4 years and without long term goals/objectives/process changes/changing the pipelines/etc.

I’ve mentioned it in the past as well, but everything that US has done in the past looks like as a knee-jerk reaction to China’s achievements. That being said, I sincerely hope they can compete in advancing the tech and research, since competition is good for the world.

Rain is an interesting thing, because the number of bikers in Tokyo goes down maybe by 60% or more the second it rains. I kinda avoid as well.

Sounds about right.

There have been a couple of episodes of Simpsons where “credit card debt” was the subplot. Should give a good idea how “relatable” the experience it was even in the older days. Obviously I’m exaggerating, but you get the idea.

AWS/GCP/Azure are full of abandonware. I’m more familiar with the AWS-side of things, and most of them were/are built on top of existing core services. AWS’s/GCP’s image is fine. I’d say as long as CF’s core (CDN/DDoS mitigation/etc.) is stable, they should experiment.

To put it this way, it took GH almost a year to release Stacked PRs to public. And it’s already being questioned if it’ll stand the test of time. Again, insanely competitive market, as everyone wants to sell shovels.

It sounds like a blog post in support of a slowdown for product releases. But the reality is there are multiple companies trying to capture the attention of the same market.

Maybe 2 years ago it would’ve been acceptable to release the product internally, slowly add features, dogfood it, then open to public a year later. But now someone else will release the same product within a month, get sticky customers, and most likely won’t switch.

It’s much easier and faster to release features, so once anyone sees a competition gaining some attention, they just copy the same feature. Which, i think, is fair.

It’s easy to blame the org, but the market is extremely competitive right now. Kind of race to the bottom, except the hardware parts, which have different constraints right now.

The former.

It’s always fun to excuse myself out with “i’m gonna go for a walk” and explain “no, like i’m not bored or angry, or anything, i just want to walk around, come join me!”. Especially when i’m staying at my friends’ places.

It is nice to acknowledge someone’s or something’s existence/work/troubles/etc. through words. Think about all the gratefulness stuff that circulated around the western media in late 2010s.

> If you're in a bad place, as long as a forum will have your posts you can post to your heart's content.

I agree with you, but would also add that, ~99% of people do not post anything. They mostly consume. When your consumption habits are constantly doomerism, and "all the bad stuff that will happen in the next 5 years", your mind also starts thinking that way. And spirals down that way. There's a lack of healthy dose of reality in online circles. So everything just becomes outrage/doomer hell.

That is, indeed, my argument. As much as I’ve been loving coding since the past 20+ years, basically from my childhood, I currently do it mostly for living and some side projects. I don’t care about code quality in my side projects, and at work… well, I want to keep getting raises, be employable, and support myself.

Priorities.

Too slow, bum and bust cycles, dependencies one layer down are also booked up.

No. I’m asking in good faith. I was skeptical in 2023, but took the approach of using it at least once a week, with all latest models to see the evolution. It’s obvious that the industry is moving that way, and at this point it would be a career-suicide for seniors+ to not be able to drive AI to achieve their objectives .

I’m not saying it’s good for everything, but we’ve gone very far in terms of capabilities in the last 3 years. Thinking otherwise will make me question others’ experience on how much they’ve used it so far.

Out of curiosity, do you use frontier AI dev tools on a daily basis professionally?

In about 4 months, OpenAI’s fundraiser decks will leak, which will include their current ad revenue.

Ads.

> It is unavoidable that the modern world needs data centers (how many is open for debate)

You know, I’m currently having drinks with a friend who has no connection to the tech world, and asked him about this line explicitly curious of what he thinks about it. He said “I have no idea why such things would be unavoidable”. And that is the sentiment of the general populace towards AI/DCs and etc.

If you check out some sub-tweets from people in the org, it wasn't really all butterflies internally for a while. Sorry, really don't want to name people and give examples.
