Calling it a few million is laughable.

Regarding the Metaverse, VR, blockchain, etc. people were antagonistic towards them at the time, not in retrospect. If anything, people are showing much more hatred towards AI than any of these aforementioned technologies.

This is the HN way. Never is there actual discussion about the contents of an article. Instead, a Hacker News will read the headline and will write a diary post in the comments.

Your comment and the parent comment are not in disagreement.

Do you mean to say that in 2026 things look different than they did in 2015-2025?

Are you paying that, or is your work paying for it?

If you’re using it for personal work, why is $100 worth it?

Which big deals have fallen through?

Mind sharing what industry you’re seeing this in? I’ve never talked to finance or GTM as an engineer. I’m not sure GTM exists in my industry.

Calling the current state of art AI is also generous.

You seem to think you’ve found some sort of gotcha. There were plenty of crimes committed in the MBS world. See GS, Credit Suisse, and others. However very few were prosecuted at the individual level.

The MX440 allowed players that were playing games on id Tech 3 to finally play at high frame rates. I remember this card being all the rage back then in pro gaming circles for this reason.

Yes the MX440 deserves to be on this list. More important than the GeForce2 imo.

Yes, I’m not speaking about the person with 14 years of experience.

I’m saying that looking for senior level roles is much easier than roles that aren’t quite senior yet.

How many of those are real jobs?

Senior level is doing the heavy lifting here.

What were you browsing where someone cutting off their own testicles is not as bizarre as other things? I didn't watch the video but atleast there was a warning.

Feds this guy right here ^^

Thanks, but I mean do you use OCR or any service after scanning them? Would be nice to be able to search through the notebooks once scanned.

No. The author uses the term “engineering notebook” to make it sound different than what humans have already been doing for millennia.
