Hi there, my name is [insert name here] and I am a programmer who specializes in making logic errors. I have been writing code for many years now and have become quite proficient at creating logical errors in my programs. While this may not seem like a desirable skill, I have found that my ability to create logic errors has actually helped me to identify and fix errors in other people's code. In my free time, I enjoy reading up on the latest programming techniques and learning new ways to make logic errors even more effectively. I am excited to be a part of the Hacker News community and look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences with others.

The company that helps connect kids with the adults who want to harm them is having a hard time replacing humans? Shocking.

1: true. 2: that someone else has to get approval for the cost

And AI is the reason why developers are being laid off.

Don't trust a fox to count your chickens.

I guess the days of engineers getting to be so casual about memory footprint and CPU cycles is over.

Not OpenAI’s fault that the cost of a shipping container doubled.

I collect fountain pens which have nothing to do with the data center market and the big 3 Japanese makers announced pretty substantial price hikes.

Valve very much is in the position to subsidize the costs; they charge 30% royalty per game sold.

Valve often boasts that they have a very high Rev / Employee number.

Opening paragraph is not the profile of a rockstar developer.

At least not the rockstars I had the pleasure of working with.

It had nothing to do with smarts. They held a public comment about the changes and responded accordingly.

I left my comment saying it was a bad idea.

Early on with ChatGPT I had it write a script for an Avengers movie, but all the Avengers have below average intelligence.

> So obviously there is no reason to invent things that are not true.

Because everyone who has ever been convicted of a crime actually committed the crime.

Thank god. I’ve been waiting to have a reason to tell someone I collect fountain pens.

Computers depreciate because they are obviously being supplanted by newer better models—until they become vintage and then move into collectibles.

I’ve had the best luck selling in Craigslist. Every other platform has been sub par.

No. Our justice system has never actually been based on evidence.

It’s based on the doctrine of judicial discretion in the name of preserving order.

Not just google. I asked ChatGPT about some pen refills, and it gave me a very factual response sourcing to my own reddit post discussing the topic.

Generating a QR code to see the graph online is kind of cool, but also kinda dumb too.

I mean, these days kids have smartphones, what's the point of a graphing calculator?

The comments on this are fascinating. Although, I was waiting for someone to chime in with "HP is better cuz RPN."

2 dinners out for a family of four would cover the cost of this calculator. If my kid's school required this for math, I wouldn't bat an eye at purchasing one.

I needed a Ti-83 for school in 1996-1998. If you couldn't afford one, the school would loan you one for the semester. Band instruments were the same way.

Claude does not have a "theory" of anything, and I'd argue applying that mental model to LLM+Tools is a major reason why Claude can delete a production database.

Well summarized.

We're also seeing that the people up top are using this to cull the herd.
