What those „retiree per worker“ graphs always fail to mention is how productivity increased over the same period.

Those two workers today produce about as much as 8 did in the 50s so supporting the retirees should in fact be easier today, not harder.

That it isn’t is because wages didn’t increase proportionately.

I‘d love if I could just hit enter but the garbage it shits out unsupervised is just soo bad.

Even without external libraries, it routinely comes up with solutions that are at least 3-4x the complexity and LOC than how I would implement it.

Assuming you are using a commercial service, the goal of those recommendations is not to serve you what you want to watch but to serve you what they want you to watch.

you don’t own my time.

That’s my point. If someone writes first and then calls they are wasting my time twice.

No, the polite way is to skip the preamble and just call. Either they pick up or they don’t.

/edit: I took this meme to mean at work, where being on call is expected. In that case I‘d rather get called directly than getting interrupted twice by writing first.

Outside work: don’t call unless this is an emergency.

Looks like it doesn’t know shit about me. Just that I am on an iPhone and my general location from the IP. Not surprising at all.

Maybe this is more thrilling for android users?

Most people have learned by now, that “lines of code“ is a terrible metric for evaluating productivity. Why are we doing the exact same thing with AI tokens now?

He cooked is good, he’s cooked is bad. You’re either holding the pan or you’re in it.

My take: Intelligence is the rate at which you can acquire wisdom.

You guys, the truth is way more depressing. They are not even smart enough to be as evil as you’re giving them credit for.

I think what’s happening is that each individual company has a positive ROI on ads in the sense that they would lose more than a dollar in sales if they spent a dollar less on ads, but collectively the ROI is probably smaller than one: if all companies would cut their advertising budgets in half they would all be better off, as they would keep their sales roughly the same.

So adverting is less about sales volume (people don’t necessarily buy more things when they see more ads) but about market share (you get a bigger piece of the cake). Classic prisoner’s dilemma.
