It is an interesting time to be at the peak of accumulated knowledge of a 50 year career and then see a tool that has the ability to create the code to preform a task I need. But that creation doesn’t feel the same and does take interaction from outside usually to make that code useable. I think that time for required interaction will be short lived and as code bases are slowly supplanted with generated code things will be more homogenized. I pray that will lead the people being allowed to solve more complex issue and I can’t wait to see the advancements to come. I just hope we can look back and say it was worth it, that don’t we end up with a bunch of AI generated crap that degrades technology by obscuring the useful and we end up worse than before.
Agreed, Reddit as a source of truth is the issue. Who in the their right mind would look at Reddit as whole and say that is an open, unbiased community focused on true and accurate information. And as the article and comments in this very thread show how moderation and its application within Reddit are "contaminated" which is a very good way to describe the situation.
It is harder to separate technology and political discourse as they seem to becoming more and more intertwined. This is probably the most respectful open forum that I know on the internet. My problem is much like yours if not here where? If we cannot discuss this here, then the people driving these technologies will not be able to reconcile technology's place in our political landscape and how our contributions ultimately are actively shaping the world around us. Unfortunately, Hacker News has the most literate and well thought out responses to extremely technical issues on the internet, seems like this would be the ideal place. You don't have conversations on X and Reddit etc. like you can find here on HN. The whole reason I love it here is getting to sift through all these comments here is for the knowledge people share here and I have seen highly charged ideologies discussed here in detail and it is still standing. But is that because the community has been actively avoided certain divisive topics?
Agreed just because a company thinks my threat model doesn't require anything but letters and should be short enough to memorize, sure does not mean they are correct. Apple is collectively dumbing down complexity for selfish reasons and then not allowing you the user to change default complexity and length. Looks like the only problem they were trying to solve was reuse which might be a plus one for the Apple device population but I am not sure the trade off is really worth it. But hey it's free!
Not saying it is or isn't overpriced, but 20k/year is actually a good price for something that can avoid homelessness. Just the cost of extra medical care and/or jail, let alone social services and lost productivity, is worth it.
$20k per year for a brand new drug that went through 15 years of development is peanuts. Welcome to healthcare in the country that leads the world in pharma research, for good and for ill.
Napkin mathing here since available data isn't great, but the US definitely doesn't lead the world in healthcare R&D spending relative to our size. We're spending something like 0.22% of GDP on healthcare R&D, putting us at about #7 globally. In comparison, Denmark spends 0.93% of GDP on healthcare R&D. And that list is missing data from other countries that probably rank above us, like Cuba.
The thing is you don't even need this new drug, from the article "Risperdal and Zyprexa" are very effective antipsychotics. Even more effective when combined with a long acting to prevent backslide from missed does.
Who cares about the TD, tremors, etc. when that patient can rejoin society? Really what needs to change is reopen US mental hospitals to get these patients treatment and end the stigma around mentally illness.
I think that permafrost loss being accelerated and the affect it has had on overall temps is concerning. I wonder what man-made acceleration of permafrost loss like the hydraulic mining has speed up this process that has been taking place since 2013 and I think we are seeing the results. Sad really.
