  1. every parent that is “pro” book banning is a shitty parent, period. I am kind of glad this book banning has spread as it helped me weed out some people from my life. life is to short to spend around shitty parents. I can pretty much live with any flaw (I have 100’s) but being a shitty parent is not one I am willing to be around
  2. first time we’d see this there would be a warning, second one is pink slip
  3. 6 years and counting for me
  4. it is possible through legislation. slap them with the fine equal to their two previous years ebita combined and all this stops within an hour. of course not like people that need to pass a legislation aren’t bought for a fraction of that.

    these things are why frequent comments on HN that go “this company is not using our data for training, it is in ToS etc…” makes me literally LOL.

  5. been hacking 31 years with the same ego but you never know. and if I learned anything in these years is to get out the heck out of any place that treats people not by their skills but by how long ago their Mom gave them birth
  6. > Is engineering nirvana a place where tasks are such that any can been done by a junior engineer, and the concept of engineering skill developed through experience is non-existent?

    how does one junior acquire engineering skills except through experience as you said?

  7. it specifically addresses the entire world economy is based on fossil fuels, and attempting to redo the entire worlds economy to use non-fossil fuels is not currently doable

    - it is currently doable

    - china is working on it

    - they will succeed

    - while we flip the two insane political parties in power every 4 to 8 years that each kills everything previous one did just out of spite if for no other reason

  8. I was being facetious but am now extremely curious about large portion of the knowledge obtained by subject matter experts in any given field has never been published - this is not only strange to me in the small but you are claiming that this is large portion so I am wondering if you have any example(s) to share?
  9. this can only happen in a shitty places with incompetent team
  10. you work(ed) in some shitty places if you believe this to be true
  11. what is a larger issue? lacking domain knowledge? or lacking deeper understanding of years of shit in the codebase that seniors may have better understanding? where I work, there is no issue that it "too large" for a junior to take on, it is the only way that "junior" becomes "non-junior" - by doing, not by delegating to so-called seniors (I am one of them)
  12. they have been trained on material not just by single subject matter expert but all of them :)
  13. hehehe yea, for sure that’s it
  14. sounds about right
  15. You carefully ommitted China who is working (and will succeed as they always do unlike Germany and California…) on post-fossil world way before fossils become scarse
  16. why on the server?!
  17. fooled in what way? I don’t use youtube or any social media since 2019-ish. last time I saw anything on youtube in probably 2018-ish (othercthan my kid showing me volleyball highlights :) )
  18. if that is the endgame openai is doing everything but working towards that goal :)
  19. > Baseline is in the end anti-democracy and anti-truth. And Google is heavily pushing for that.

    Google et al do not give a hoot about being “left” or “right” - they only care about profit. Zuck tattooed rainbow flag while Biden was President and is currently macho-man crusader. If Youtube can make money from videos about peace and prosperity that’s what you’d see behind the VPN. since no one watches that shit you get Tucker
