Hard agree. Cant even qualify for housing connect, medicaid, or food stamps - income tax credits (single / no kids / no property) - which are significant help to quality of life.
But hasnt it gone down in quality with broader mainstream appeal, more ai slop, and just general self promotion? I feel like a lot of niche communities have also lost their core or original user bases that are not as active any more or it could just be me? For example off the top of my head not digging too deep, r/juststart used to be very high signal and strongly moderated but now not so much. But, on the other hand, i did discover r/laundry recently with some awesome content around “spa day” but again thats mainly one user responsible. I guess another big gripe is having to use the reddit mobile app after they closed their api’s and shutting down third party apps because now i cant browse its more feed-like. Sorry for the ramble not sure what my point is but hoping others can share their experiences and any advice too i guess
How do you get chatgpt to teach you well? I feel like no matter how dense and detailed i ask it to be or how much i ask it to elaborate and contextualize topics with their adjacent topics to give me a full holistic understanding, it just sucks at it and is always short of helping me truly understand and intuit the subject matter.
Would love to see that link and any other posts others might have run across here as well. I feel like pre covid it was common to see high Quality ask hn discussions with niche/prestigious book recommendations often. I dont see that as much now.
Curious about attempting something like this in my area as well since I’m remote. Are you doing both or does one have to give way to the other eventually?
Also im seeing the same trend as you at my company, roles replaced overseas while people only focus on AI taking the jobs i think this is the more sinister thing happening quietly (by that i mean not getting much news coverage)
I have very little formal education in advanced maths, but I’m highly motivated to learn the math needed to understand AI. Should i take a stab at parsing through and trying to understand this paper (maybe even using AI to help, heh) or would that be counter-productive from the get-go and I'm better off spending my time following some structured courses in pre-requisite maths before trying to understand these research papers?
Can you break down the analogy to a casual like myself? Genuinely want to be in on it as i enjoy driving and am always wanting to learn more linux to grasp a better understanding of OS’s
