This post strikes me as immature. Ask an older person like your grandfather what they think about “self help”. And ask like you believe they are wiser than you, not some doddering fool from “another time”. Look, we’re all slaves to our childhood learnings. But you can change and learn to think in a new way—in a way that’s you. Just be you.
The author is one of the biggest self-help book writers. Perhaps his self-help book sales started declining and he decided to pivot to some kind of anti-self-help genre.
Exactly, the whole website is super PR-marketing wise, and a pop-up promotes his book with a "laid-back" portrait photo of himself. I think people are smart enough to find actual evidence-based self-guiding if they look at wikipedia or so .. we do not need 100.000 self-help gurus or as the tide turn gurus first promoting the former, now switching to the opposite.
That's a cynical take. Ferris has been for years now focusing more and more on things like meditation and psychedelics. Plus he is super loaded and his podcast is huge
This whole thing feels like a troll. We should assume any new HN account created in the last 18 months is much more likely to be a bot, and now we got OpenClaw to worry about. Nothing stopping our true adversary or troublemakers from giving OpenClaw a plausible new identity and telling it to argue about given world view. Or pass whatever false information it can to try to change public opinion. Can you tell which replies in this thread are real vs propaganda?
Nixon was also wrong. The people who pushed this design over the finish line were the likes of GHW and Clinton, to the protest of the likes of Bernie back then.
Smoke weed every day before work. Everyone will love you but your work quality will decrease, they’ll notice but they won’t want to just fire you because you’re nice. So they’ll “regrettably have to downsize your position” and give you a couple months pay. That’s the worst case; best case you end up in a Peter Gibbons type scenario and get promoted to management and you can help all the other poor saps like you chillax.
LLMs are just a statistical analysis of a large body of written information. The proprietary part is mostly the training. It’ll end up being similar to OSM vs Google maps vs HERE. You can get close with crowd/open sourcing, but you can get significantly better at any given point in time by investing millions or billions. At some point the commodity version will be good enough and then no one will invest any more and we’ll stall out for a while until someone succeeds at the next moonshot.
Tl;dr would be nice, as others mentioned. I could see using a variant of the concept to visualize code changes. Have a circle divided into pie slices that represent however you organize your microservices, packages, components, modules or classes. Then distance from the center represents time or reverse time. You could then quickly see changes over time, which areas of the codebase is affected, etc.
