It's already a job requirement for a bunch of places, they're just not listing it. I lost out on a job recently because I haven't used cursor ai.

The wealthy Quaker drivers thing threw me. I know it's an exaggeration but is there a large enough wealthy Quaker driver population drivers ubers for this to be a concern?

It’s okay for you to not get everything. This one is simple, it’s just not for you. You don’t get it because it wasn’t built for you.

I’ve been considering dropping ChatGPT for the same reason. Now that the app is out the only thing I actually care about is search.

I could play devils advocate and say that it’s bad for poor students because if authors are not fairly compensated then these authors won’t write textbooks and if they don’t then future students won’t benefit from having the textbooks.

Well when you get sick from the weird bacteria after buying tattoo ink on Amazon you can go Amazon Health to get better. It's the snake that keeps eating itself.

I’m glad it used Java. I wound up rewriting the code in Python and it really helped me understand the concepts a lot better.

New comment by bluedays in "Students invent quieter leaf blower"

> That’s an awfully uncharitable projection.

Not the OP but I would agree with you if I was not told explicitly by several people that they love being outside with loud gas powered engines. These people happen to be my neighbors. There's a culture around small gas powered engines. People grew up with them, and learned engine repair on them, which helped them build a career. I have used battery powered leaf blower and a battery powered weed eater, and I have been told "that's nicer than anything else I've ever used, but I just love gas engines".

When I first started making a lot of money I was extremely generous but I realized quickly that it still goes quicker than you realize. So I’m not sure if that’s part of this perception or not.

I live in an area with high levels of PFAS in the water, so this isn't always true.

Ask HN: Is the job market is bad as everyone claims it is?

I'm looking for a change from my current position and I was just wondering if now is a good time or if it might benefit me to stay for a while. I only have 2 YOE, but the way people are talking about it makes it sound pretty brutal.
