it is like reward hacking, where the reward function in this case the test is exploited to achieve its goals. it wants to declare victory and be rewarded so the tests are not critical to the code under test. This is probably in the RL pre-training data, I am of course merely speculating.

Even if you're a small vendor. You created an innovative product, and you tried to sell your product to a large company. Before you can be destroyed by simply showing the product to a multi-billion company. But now even medium sized companies can destroy you.

This is why I now check when I'm researching for a solution (that an LLM cannot figure out.) I go to github but often check if the project was created before 2022 due to AI slop concerns.

Yeah, it's kinda sad reality and I suddenly felt gloomy. Do you have a more optimistic view that you can share?

One reason, maximizing investor value. CEO and executives usually get bonuses after layoffs.

1.5B models can run on CPU inference at around 12 tokens per second if I remember correctly.

Brevity is the soul of wit, you did well sir.

Well said. This dream is probably for someone who have experienced the hardship, felt frustrated and gave up. Then see others who effortless did it, even felt fun for them. The manifestation of the dream feels like revenge to them.

When executives fail, unfortunately, they don't blame each other. They do postmortems, then hire consultants to layoff senior engineers.

Yes most c-level executives (who often have to report to a board) have tendencies to predict the future after using claude code. It didn't happen in 2025 yet they still insist. While their senior engineers are still working at the production code.

code has no use-value. it is like being a baker in an island. the value comes from its user base.

Yes with few shots. you need to provide at least 2 examples of similar instructions and their corresponding solutions. But when you have to build few shots every time you prompt it feels like you're doing the work already.

Edit: grammar

Ask HN: Talent shortage high expectations, or something else?

bodegajed — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:50:09 +0000

I feel like tech job openings lately (not faang) especially "full-stack" roles are something like "we're looking only for unicorn talents for 55k" and this has been the trend for me lately.

I know that these hiring managers from respected companies with Senior Engineering backgrounds would not have such talent expectations.

But I have gotten through one, up to the final stage of the interview. Still, I was surprised when they asked me deep technical questions for any large-scale infrastructure knowledge. I was not prepared because it was not on the job description. FWIW, I looked-up their company and they recently had several rounds of layoffs.

Why have these companies not given up?

It's an outlier because unlike other service industries the software has global presence. An app written by software engineers laid-off 3 years ago will still run by itself with exceptions like servers running out of disk space. Unlike other services industry tech workers get laid off for:

1. When the product has failed market-fit and company is not raising anymore capital.

2. When the backlog has been cleared.

Tech workers get more pay by job hopping.

When I think of macro economics, I always start with "We live in a society" 1. For the Brain Drain, alienation will cause discontent. Politically impossible. Mass-layofs created a weaker consumer demand. Who to create any value for? 2. Gold standard - but not from the current astronomical value of the US dollar.

you are right, I misremembered and did not paid attention in class that much.

I remember in history class, at this period humans are merely discovering stone tools and discovery of fire. Yet here, researchers presented evidence of tools from boat-makers and other technology where humans navigate on deep waters? this is crazy!
