You think Citadel and Jane Street are fairy tales? The comment you replied to gave plenty of very pointed evidence. Even "bad" trading firms are disappointed to make 20% returns year over year...

Did that AI round feedback scuttle a potential offer?

Very easy answer: they don't.

The mid-size Fenix that I'm talking about is 47mm. The Pixel 5 with this shitty battery life is 45mm. And the also-shitty Ultra is 49mm. So, no, size is not the difference at all.

My Fenix 8 lasts for about a month with 10 hours per week of training. 30 hours with everything enabled is pathetic for a smart watch.

It's so, so clearly written by Claude. What are you talking about. Do you really think that you can fool people with so little effort?

This is so much more interesting than yet another LLM release.

Tell me you're bad at software engineering without telling me you're bad at software engineering.

It literally is just next word prediction. If you don't understand that, everything else you're thinking and saying is based on an incorrect foundation.

Take a step back and really take a look at what's going on. You are not thinking clearly.

Everyone saying it is in the "not as good as they think they are" camp is the very obvious explanation.

Massively different from algorithmic doom scrolling feeds.

I would call HN a type of social media lite, but not the type of social media that's leading to generation-wide mental health issues in children/teens.

Yes, social media creates useful idiots, you are correct. And also possibly one of them, if you're arguing that it somehow makes people smarter or more informed.

Social media is so, so much worse than anything a government could come up with. This is a good thing for the world even if there are ulterior motives at play.
