This isn't true and I don't know where this idea comes from

Really grabbing at straws to dismiss the evidence of your eyes and ears here, huh?

Is this "vibe researching"?

I think the same thing every time. I've never had anyone read my meeting notes and they're better off in some sort of work order system anyways.

All I'm hearing is an appeal to making the workplace more isolating. Don't talk to each other, just talk to the machine that might summarize it wrong

Are you suggesting people are poor because they don't have good time management?

I don't agree at all that it's the easiest of careers.

I never had to work free overtime as a postal clerk until 1AM because of a production bug in deployment

I never had to figure out how to fix a fry machine on-the-spot at McDonald's because the person who normally fixes it is on vacation in the mountains

I also never had to learn brand new ways of driving cars every few months as a valet driver.

Maybe your software engineering job is easy but, this is the most stressful job I've had. And i'm not your average HN'er that's only ever known being a code slinger

But, according to the paper, that's not what's happening

It's examining published news / research / whatever (input), making statistical predictions, and then comparing (playing) it against other predictions to fine-tune the result

This is my main concern. What's the point of other tools when none of the LLMs have been trained on it and you need to deliver yesterday?

It's an insanely conservative tool

Not out of date, the author is probably planning on teaching how to program Windows via WinAPI. WSL2 and VSCode will probably be outside the scope of discussion when it comes to coding Windows apps from scratch

Yeah, except the bundling wasn't the problem. It was that Microsoft was using their size to build a giant moat around IE. If you wanted modern features, it was all on IE and behind their proprietary scripting languages (vbscript, jscript, mshtml, activex controls)

This was all part of the anti-competitive embrace, extend, extinguish strategy that was so common at Microsoft then. They would offer a tool that was "close" to a popular standard (javascript, html), then extend it with their own tooling (jscript, mshtml), and finally they would replace those with a proprietary toolchain (vbscript, activex controls)

That meant the entire market moved to IE and it ate up almost all the market share overnight, even though it was a dumpster fire of a browser compared to the competition

> Companies don't have violence and only have rules in a limited sense. E.g. a company can't lock you in a box for failing to give it some of your money

Companies certainly do "have violence" and certainly have locked people up in the past. The only thing keeping large corporations from doing this now is the state.

In the article, the author puts forth the problem with the Great Leap Forward: large central authority being disconnected from those starving workers. That's a problem large, centrally planned, corporations face.

> What Apple ought to be in trouble for is interfering with their operating system customers' ability to patronize competing app stores.

This isn’t illegal. Equivalent to a “No outside food and drink” sign or not letting randos sell things in your own storefront

It’s not illegal just because you don’t agree with the philosophy of a closed ecosystem

Not sure I agree with not starting work on it right away so you don’t finish early but, I’ve learned that constantly delivering earlier than you say can make people not believe your estimates - ditto for always being late
