I have never once posted there but I’ve been terminally online with it since 2020 or thereabouts. I often get rate limited due to the number of threads I open if I haven’t logged on in a couple of days. It’s not as good now as it was due to Reddit bleeding users who are ruining the quality of discourse faster than dang can manage them, but it’s still one of the most interesting places on the internet.
Sam Bankman-Fried was a fraud and his fraud was made possible by the lack of regulation. We are living in the late stage capitalist economy that focuses on extracting wealth from the weak in favor of the rich.
Despite what alt-right types are saying, we need strict government regulations to stop the economy from going to the shitter and prevent ecological disasters.
Funny thing is Sam's fraud was made possible by regulation. People used offshore exchanges because the US is a blackhole of old moron boomers trying to set policy when they don't even know what the internet is, and nn the last months preceding the collapse of FTX Sam was lobbying hard for the self-custody wallet ban, because then customers wouldn't be able to withdraw and the ponzi wouldn't collapse.
Yes, it's a shame because it's really put a damper on promoting effective altruism which is how we can morally justify getting rich because we're benefitting society as a whole with our ill-gotten gains!
unironically SBF deserved 50 years, but not his associates. You and I could never be SBF but we would be around people like him. His friends did nothing wrong and shouldn't be punished. They were just kids following orders and even if they were complicit, so what? Everybody does it and that makes it legal
>You and I could never be SBF
Because we're unwilling to commit zillions of dollars making a fraudulent futures market.
He literally just did exactly what Enron did. Anyone can do this and get away with it for a few years, it's actually very easy.
It was wild seeing that thread, everyone seemed to have a negative opinion of him in every other thread I have ever seen about him. I suspected the thread was being flooded by a PR firm doing damage control.
is the y news combinator site? it has good answers for it questions, but shows up rarely because r**dit is more popular. otherwise i barely care for either

I have had some conversations there with a few who are the real deal, usually minor but important figures from the pre-2000 computing era but it does seem like most posters are LARPing on some level.

hey guys, dang here, normally we don't allow politics on HN, but in this case i am going to make an exception. please keep in mind that any comments criticizing the US or saying anything positive about china or russia will be immediately flagged and may result in your account being completely banned from HN. thanks and stay civil!
HN is one of the only places where you can have actual policy debates. I’ve seen tons of race realism there that never gets removed simply because the people who post there are smart enough to be civil about it.
Wow, I just wanted to say thanks a lot for posting this. I was just about to post it myself. I was always very focused and goal-oriented in my younger days - a bit of a workaholic but generally enjoyed working hard.
1. Like tons of other people, I re-evaluated my relationship with work during the pandemic. To be honest, it wasn't easy. I think a ton of people tie up their self-worth with their posts, and during the pandemic I just felt more disconnected from posting.
2. I think a lot of folks have underestimated the psychological changes that happen from being way more isolated these days. I don't mean "shut-in" isolated, I just mean that working remote most days means the number of people I interact with in person has gone way, way down. I'm all for remote work but I won't deny that I greatly miss a lot of the energy from just being around other people.
3. Finally, I've just become really disillusioned with tech over the course of my career, which makes me very sad. I started my career during the dot com boom, and there was so much optimism about the beneficial societal changes that tech and the Internet would bring. I don't feel like all tech is "evil" these days, but I do feel that the world would be better off if all the big tech companies (Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) just completely stopped building any new tech. Obviously that's not realistic, but it highlights my feeling that I'm not looking forward to any new tech from these companies, because more tech is going to invariably lead to more isolation, more "doom scrolling", more assaults on our attention. I feel like most big tech companies have just become the equivalent of drug dealers, just trying to hijack our brain's evolutionary attention mechanisms to addict us. "Attention is all you need" is right...
Anyway, don't have any advice or anything, just wanted to say I appreciated your post, so thank you.

The AI landscape is mature enough that we could theoretically cut out 30% of the software workforce with adequate training in tooling e.g. copilot, and see no discernible difference in terms of output. The reason this won't happen, and why we're seeing closer to 10% RIF across the board, is that a 30% reduction will likely mean the female proportion of the workforce will converge towards 0, and the middle managers urging everybody back to the office will run out of masturbatory material.
Libertarianism is the only sensible political ideology; I exist in the political space of "no conflict" because quite frankly, I'm just above it. There is literally nothing wrong with children being exposed to pornography, they're going to get exposed to it either way, what's going on in Texas is just wrong. But the government does need to get rid of guns[1], and it needs to do so forcefully.
I suck the wiener of billionaires who made some shitty content management system. I smugly post about topics I know nothing about, but I'm good at leetcode so I'm probably right. The only thing that matters to me is TC, eating overpriced sushi, and occasionally getting a pity blowjob from my beat to frick 4/10 chink girlfriend. I will never be able to afford a house and pay 30% of my salary to live with smelly indian techbros and have to look at the sidewalk when walking to avoid the human shit and needles. I have never meaningfully improved humanity, and actively make it worse every day.

I don't understand why Americans hate public transit so much, it's obviously just not well funded enough.

Take a look at the current Rust thread in the catalog -- the level of discussion which is impossible on HN
It became a safe-space for mediocrity, midwits and their abstract cultures
They were straight up deleting posts about lab leak theory. Now dang turns into a passive aggressive b***h whenever that's mentioned.
spocker
More tolls are good because the city should care about the health of the people, also means cheaper delivery because it somehow makes sense in my mind. + global warning + w + lgbtq+.
>it's 2024 stop using neovim because your parasocial youtube """friend""" theprimeagen told you so and use a modern text editor/ide instead like vscode.

>reddit but more moronic while also thinking they are smarter and writing some stupid tldr for some shit no one gives a frick
No thanks
>Here's some clickbait title to make you visit an article I wrote giving my opinion about something I don't understand while also stating that literally everyone in the industry is wrong
I miss n-gate: uber but for snark.
i don't, hn got so bad it wasn't even worth making fun of anymore even before he stopped. now it's orders of magnitudes worse
Yeah. No one even tries recreating things from first principles anymore they just b***h about capitalism and racism.

Hey guys, we already discussed this in another thread.

This thread is failing. Not enough faux intellectual bonus-words, passive aggressiveness, pedantry, demanding sources.

Just my 2c:
The AI landscape is mature enough that we could theoretically cut out 30% of the software workforce with adequate training in tooling e.g. copilot, and see no discernible difference in terms of output. The reason this won't happen, and why we're seeing closer to 10% RIF across the board, is that a 30% reduction will likely mean the female proportion of the workforce will converge towards 0, and the middle managers urging everybody back to the office will run out of masturbatory material.
gui bad, terminal good
javascript bad, rust good
windows 95 was peak ui
html is all you need
i want to suck paul graham's wiener
>terminal good
VTE is unironically the best graphics API. It's lasted 80 years for a reason.
peak UI was crunchbang

HN is cancer but these are all good takes
i think half of IQfy browses HN and vice versa, there is so much overlap between the topics
Libertarianism is the only sensible political ideology; I exist in the political space of "no conflict" because quite frankly, I'm just above it. There is literally nothing wrong with children being exposed to pornography, they're going to get exposed to it either way, what's going on in Texas is just wrong. But the government does need to get rid of guns[1], and it needs to do so forcefully.

EDIT:
I suck the wiener of billionaires who made some shitty content management system. I smugly post about topics I know nothing about, but I'm good at leetcode so I'm probably right. The only thing that matters to me is TC, eating overpriced sushi, and occasionally getting a pity blowjob from my beat to frick 4/10 chink girlfriend. I will never be able to afford a house and pay 30% of my salary to live with smelly indian techbros and have to look at the sidewalk when walking to avoid the human shit and needles. I have never meaningfully improved humanity, and actively make it worse every day.
…Pretend?
I love Apple's juicy wiener down my throat.

A most splendiferous todo app my good sir, but have you consideratified just implementationarizing an LLM-based linked list SaaS microlambda in Rust? Coincidentally, my startup implementationarizationify.io does just this.
