Unrelated to the content itself, but when I see AI slop UI I don't feel like reading.

If they really did any 'good for the world' they wouldn't need paid propaganda.

Technically, the code is owned and deployed by AI companies which make the AI companies 100% responsible. I'm not sure how is code written by LLMs different than any other kind of code. If somebody hacked just like OpenAI's agents did, he would've ended up in prison right away.

That's the whole point. Regulatory capture.

Probably most non-technical managers think that.

I think it's better if I stick with my GoPro hero9, which can be used as a cam. It's the same price, but I can take it with me anywhere, film in 4k60fps and it has some stabilization software which is really good.

Same. I feel like games are fun, but at some point there are diminishing returns and negatively affect your social life.

Hello HN.

I've read a few books for a couple of programming languages (go, rust), but I still need some kind of project to really see the big picture and think deeply.

What kind of project (besides some CHIP-8 emulator) would you recommend?

Thank you and I'm more than curious about your answers.

Ask HN: Advices for Burnout and Depression?

drywater2 — Thu, 20 May 2021 20:40:20 +0000

Hello HN.

Thanks for clicking. I hope I won't waste your time.

It's been some time since I've been struggling with depression. But something else happened for the last two months. I quit my job due to burnout. I couldn't handle the stress anymore and I felt it was a really toxic place.

Fast forward today... I'm still depressed and I still retained many addictions (porn, internet, smartphone, eating at late hours, excessive amounts of coffee) I have developed during this pandemic and working from home.

I still need to get a job eventually, but my brain doesn't let me have a break. I just feel guilty most of the time. If I try to sleep in the afternoon I still wake up panicked about where my life is going.

I tried practicing leetcode lately but I tend to panic and have feelings of guilt when I don't seem to know something trivial. I feel like I've become just a dumber version of myself while having a salary.

For the last 5 years I've been coding in C++. I simply don't want to see CMake anymore. I feel like I missed a lot of exciting stuff in other fields such as Data Science, ML, Cloud computing while I was just looking at compiler flags and treating signals, not even doing embedded, just system programming. I've been looking into Python and Go lately for a change, but I don't feel any real motivation.

Thanks for reading. I really could use some advice. I'm sorry if I wasted your time.
