Why is downsizing and an employee’s role no longer being cost effective for the business not considered “cause” for firing?

It’s funny that you used traffic signals as an example of overcomplicating a problem with AI because there turns out to be a YC funded startup making AI powered traffic lights: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/roundabout-technologie...

If the supply of doctors wasn’t artificially suppressed as mentioned by comments above, it’s likely that wages would go down. Whether that would make things overall more or less costly isn’t easy to answer.

I’m just a layman, but why can’t they increase the orbital radius to solve this problem? Like, if the current “layer” is too full, have the new satellites orbit further out?

With the direction of OpenAI, hyper personalized ads inserted directly into chat and their app experiences could be a path. Not saying it will work, but they’re definitely exploring it.

Not all AI investment is private. You could argue that public companies like Google, Meta, and Microsoft have had their stock appreciate at least partly because of the AI frenzy.

New comment by dgs_sgd in "Baseball durations after the pitch clock"

dgs_sgd — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 13:46:40 +0000

Until recently I had only ever been to one baseball game.. saw the Jays when I was 10. I remember falling asleep at the game because it was so slow and boring, and never really watched baseball after that.

But in the last couple years I’ve seen the Mets and Phillies multiple times, and it’s now one of my favourite sports to watch thanks to the pitch clock increasing the pace of the game. I’d be really curious to see data on how many new fans the league got after the change.

Can confirm.. I got access to the app yesterday and I have used it exclusively for making drafts and sending them to my friends without posting.

I have to disagree with the author's argument for why hallucinations won't get solved:

> If there were a way to eliminate the hallucinations, somebody already would have. An army of smart, experienced people people, backed by effectively infinite funds, have been hunting this white whale for years now without much success.

Research has been going on for what, like 10 years in earnest, and the author thinks they might as well throw in the towel? I feel like the interest in solving this problem will only grow! And there's a strong incentive to solve it for the important use cases where a non-zero hallucination rate isn't good enough.

Plus, scholars have worked on problems for _far far_ longer and eventually solved them, e.g. Fermat's Last Theorem took hundreds of years to solve.

I think that statement is true for a lot of middle class people too.

New comment by dgs_sgd in "AI was supposed to help juniors shine. Why does it mostly make seniors stronger?"

dgs_sgd — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 16:04:39 +0000

The article says that more juniors + AI was the early narrative, but where does that come from?

Everything I’ve read has been the opposite. I thought people from the beginning saw that AI would amplify a senior’s skills and leave less opportunities for juniors.

Interesting. I think this gets at guywithhat’s sibling comment:

> you'd have to do a study to show that the talent couldn't have been trained in the US, and that an increased supply of workers didn't drag down salaries, either short or long-term.

If the median H1B for software is exactly the same as the overall median, it makes you wonder if the median would be different if the H1B was not an option available to employers.

dgs_sgd — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 21:13:49 +0000

I’m sorry but I don’t follow. What bearing does the 25th percentile H1B wage have on suppressing wages in a particular role or specialty?

dgs_sgd — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 21:05:25 +0000

You seem to be suggesting that the H1B pulls wages up because the median pay is higher than the median overall pay in the country? That’s not a valid comparison, you’d have to compare the H1B’s salary to the median pay in their specialty.

If you read the article you would see their plan is to apply the fee on entry to the US, after the candidate has been selected by the lottery.

> plenty of apps request photo permissions that shouldn’t need it

True, and this could maybe be solved by better app store review.

Every app submitted to the app store is reviewed by a human for approval. The reviewers could apply more scrutiny to photo permissions and reject apps whose permissions aren't justified.
