There’s been multiple threads on HN front page that have been about this for the last week as well as protests in certain US cities like LA and SF.
I don’t know if you’re being willfully dishonest or you’re genuinely oblivious.
EDIT: also Renee Good’s killing is a domestic issue and is much closer to home for most Americans than Iran. It is not surprising that there is a lot of chatter about it.
idk man, I’ve always thought UIUC was pretty selective, especially for their EE and CS programs. I’m also 10+ years out from college applications so maybe things have changed.
he’s not a “random internet person”, he created Redis. Despite that, I don’t know how authoritative of a figure he is with respect to AI research. He’s definitely a prolific programmer though.
honestly i think LLMs make it easier to write with lower level languages and you get the upside of being able to optimize better since you have more granularity of control in something like C vs something like Python.
I don’t know if LLMs will completely take over, but they’re a useful tool today. I think it’s worth learning how to use them effectively, but also know how to work without them, and when to work without them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets built for visual media but I think we’re past the point for the book/novel market. I think the people who are reading novels are now a niche market and would be highly antagonistic to something like this.
Also this just seems so depressingly bleak. At least in the states we do have libraries where people can read books for free.
i’m not familiar with this space but I do remember using plotly with webgl to create interactive graphs when they had too many data points (financial tick data). I imagine this is quite a step up and the project looks really cool! I hope you continue working on it.
I think the assumption of it being a zero-sum game is wrong. Almost half of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children [0]. The source is still the American Immigration Council, but even just looking at a specific example can illustrate that it might not be a zero sum game.
Jensen Huang, the co-founder and now CEO of NVIDIA, was an immigrant. NVIDIA is one of the most valuable companies today and has generated thousand of jobs and has helped create the AI revolution happening right now. You can argue that some other American born citizen would have created NVIDIA or found the same success, but that is difficult to prove.
I fundamentally disagree that this is a zero sum game. Many immigrants add to the American experience and many become citizens themselves. The country loses out in ignoring foreign labor, especially if it’s foreigners who are taught in our schools and want to come and work here.
One difference with renewables and traditional fuel sources is that once renewable infrastructure is built you don’t need to continually import from another country. Maintenance is definitely an issue and on going expansion and upgrades as well. I do think long term renewables wouldn’t have the same issues as oil dependency on another country though.
The UK does still need to build more on shore nevertheless.
wow I’ve been looking for something like this for an upcoming move! Would be nice to also have options to do more granular filtering, like number of bathrooms.
I mostly agree with you on this but JIRA tends to push the envelope in terms of unresponsiveness of its UX. As an IC I only really use it to create/update/search tickets but I find myself waiting a half to couple of seconds for certain flows, especially for finding old tickets.
Not quite the same as responsiveness but editing text fields in JIRA have a tendency of not saving in progress work if you accidentally escape out. Also hyperlinking between the visual and text mode is pretty annoying since you can easily forget which mode you’re in.
Honestly as I type these out there are more and more frustrations I can think of with JIRA. Will we ever move away? Not anytime soon. It integrates with everything and that’s hard to replace.
