Set your feed to only people you follow by recency

Then follow people that don’t post bait?

I agree it's not a uniform answer, but disagree that the majority is the second.

Imo the vast majority of companies would be better with a lot less engineers. For the simple fact that they are not setup for producing that much work.

They need time to discuss, decide what they even want to accomplish, just letting your POs throw more features at all your products on a whim is hugely detrimental.

lol - something so passive aggressive about this comment.

You could just say you don't like the excessive use of caps.

> Europeans are notoriously arrogant. It's a mockable combination.

Not a very rigorous economic argument - besides they also don't share an immigration policy, nor a single currency (Denmark)

Ah yes... the "European". From the Scandinavian viking to the Sicilian - one homogenous group that agrees on everything and acts the same.

It sounds like you came up with a proper solution because cf didn’t support this silliness

I guess there is a bit of a realization from the laymen (and I'm speaking as a member of that group) that a lot of these problems are toy problems.

It's clear of Fermat's last theorem. But I figured that the Millennium Prize Problems (of which there are only 10) would have some real spillover into either physics or chemistry.

Yet when one of them gets solved, it seems to be that the argument is, "yeah but not like that".

Imagine if an AI solved cancer, or a vastly cheaper way to get into space, we wouldn't react like that.

Sry to be pedantic (it is german after all) but,

"responsibility table tennis" would be a better fit.

Competence in english translates to the skill side of the word

Unregulated greed in banking means taking ridiculous risks to line your own pockets at no benefit to society.

If a year from now we have a model that is 2-5x of Fable/Astra that is definitely world changing.

As per the post, this mathematician has been working on this problem for 20 years. So either he was "just" about to breakthrough and this is a big coincidence, or Astra was able to push through the remaining block of 5-10-20-never years it might have taken.

That's still a pretty big marker of competence in my eyes.

The point of controversy seems to be who gets credit
