Peak hypocrisy, US AI companies can train on unlimited intellectual property with 0 rights to it, while Chinese AI companies have to explicitly get the rights to data that isn’t even copyrightable/copyrighted (since AI alone can’t copyright it).

In terms of economics, consider how terrible car parking can be. A bike rack can park 20+ people in the space of 1 car parking spot (1-4 people). Do you really think a business would be better off with 1/10th the number of customers who can actually enter their building at once?

Bikes and rail should exist as options, not requirements. And when done well, like in Amsterdam, people will like using them. And driving will be even better, because of so much less traffic.

These interns have never not used AI (in the industry), so they haven’t had the “handicap” of traditional development experience that slows down their AI usage.

A senior will see a problem they’ve done a thousand times and do it again the same way, a junior with AI will try to make it fit into any new hole they find.

Been waiting for this for a year+ so it’s awesome to see it finally out.

People are more likely to download more popular items, so I don’t doubt that people are affected, but given how botted moltbook was, I wouldn’t be surprised for download numbers to be botted aswell.

For example, take the title. Imagine if the PL was a declarative way of describing a distributed system, with HTTP endpoints or web sockets connecting modules. Then, for harvesting, it gives unbounded ability for nodes to read and write to other nodes outside of the standard interface. You can just go in and read/write their data, without any public interface needed. Of course someone else can probably come up with something better, but I think it’d be cool to see something that more fully uses what a “programming language” means.

Also, it using emojis helps as a signal that certain content is LLM generated, which is beneficial in its own right.

Gamescope is even fully open-source, so you could remove the steam deck UI, and still run any game with the same performance benefits of not running it inside KDE. Of course also, you could flash a new OS on the device itself if you wanted to entirely remove Valve’s presence.

When I was doing research on type theory in PL, there was an important distinction made between sum types and unions, so it’s important not to conflate them. Union types have the property that Union(A, A) = A, but the same doesn’t hold for sum types. Sum types differentiate between each member, even if they encapsulate the same type inside of it. A more appropriate comparison is tagged unions.

The way I see the current market, the hard part isn’t the interview-to-offer ratio, it’s the application-to-interview ratio. Grinding leetcode and improving your skills unfortunately doesn’t help you with that. Having a good resume helps (or having good networking).

Referencing back then to what I said originally, everyone has a degree, no one has work experience. Given this, having a cool project is one of the ways to specifically increase this application-to-interview ratio.

However, given this analysis, putting more effort into networking could yield similar results, so this suggests the original point possibly has some truth.

Projects are just about the only thing you can add to your resume to show competence. Everyone has a degree, and no one has work experience.

Not only did my projects show that I have completed semi-relevant work in something considered relatively complex, which presumably got me past resume screenings (confirmed by my hiring manager), my projects also gave a prime talking point in interviews that let me showcase my domain knowledge and way that I work. (Consider cliche interview questions like “what is the biggest challenge you’ve faced”, and how they relate to your projects)

This is especially beneficial if you’re being interviewed by other engineers, and you can geek out over a project. Being human and enjoyable, while demonstrating technical competence, is a great interview winner.

Ofc I have limited experience, but small samples can add up if other evidence corroborates with it.

The last few sections could have been cut entirely and nothing would have been lost.

Edit: In the process of writing this comment, the author removed 2 sections (and added an LLM acknowledgement), of which I referred to in my previous statement. To the author, thank you for reducing the verbosity with that.

When I tried out Dvorak, I learned touch typing for Dvorak, but after a while, it started hurting from having my hands in the touch typing position, so I decided it wasn’t really worth it to continue, since the point would’ve been to reduce injury.

The way that I type is a combination of knowing where keys are, having a muscle memory of common words, and knowing how to effectively flow between them.

It seems to me though that many of the advantages of touch typing, I already have gotten without it, so it doesn’t seem to be worth it?
