Really? Not having to face any pushback would be better?

Half the reason people steelman others' arguments is for the emotional exercise of being able to accept opposing views. And you want to throw that away so you dont have to overcome a little friction in your day? Even though doing so improves you

I think pushback is different from snarky and/or aggressive. The devil's in the details I can imagine many ways to disagree with someone that would get past this tool as described.

This is sanding the edges of off life. Its gonna make you soft

The way these agents are being used now is crazy in how inefficient the token utilization is. Reading from ill structured knowledge dumps meant for humans, ralph wiggum loops. Just crazy iterations for simple things.

I think its the same disease that makes people make shitty, unoptimized, bloated apps because modern client machines ahve so much ram. But that wont work AI agents. Not until tokens become dirt cheap anyway. Until then we'll need apps with more efficient usage patterns

Companies that have too much tribal knowledge obviously do fail. But for a company to run well, some institutional knowledge will be there. And this will be the most subtle and implicit stuff that really isnt feasible to put down on paper. Or even if it is documented, its hard to understand without building alot of context. Even if that context is present in the docs, its not really possible to internalize it without actually seeing things at work.

All that is what takes time to learn and it cant really be eliminated either because thats what is critical for you company to run on

Of course not. But its disengenuous to only mention one like the US is clearly th lesser of 2 evils

It's surely disingenuous to only criticize one actor and always stay silent or even defend another. But it's disengenuous as well if criticism on one actor is never accepted with the argument "but you didn't criticize Xyz as well!"

Taiwan: nothing happened. Iran:

This is how china tried to justify its genocide against uighers. Was theboutrage against that just politically motivated? Or do americans only care about ethnic cleansing when theyre not the ones doing it

They also don't care when done by their allies.

Yeah, those 8 year old girls had been 2 weeks away from developing a nuke. Had been since 1997 im told

Because we used to be a high trust society where degenrate gamblers wouldnt mess with scientific equipment to rip each other off

I hear what you're saying man, but honestly it's a sensor. Sensors can fail all the time even without deliberate tampering. It doesn't seem to really make sense to have a single one in a single location. Besides for clarity, my question was more why was the market referenced on a single sensor rather than on multiple sensors?

lol, the OP is such a classic HN take. "Why doesn't society simply absorb a negative externality created by gambling and add high cost redundancy layers that are otherwise useless" - Not every problem is technical.

To be more generous, it is the action that can be taken unilaterally.

Trying to eliminate gambling has vexed many an emperor and cleric.

Counterpoint, why are we measuring temperature on what is basically a giant radiator?

Because that wasn't what caused the problem? The reason it didn't work was some asshole intentionally tampered with the equipment, not because of where it was.

Counter-counterpoint, why are people wagering on an airport thermometer measurement?

It's a catch-22: I already gambled the coin I was going to use for the heads-or-tails bet.

I'm sorry, what is this "high trust" society of which you speak?

The zamboni of fascism is slowly moving towards us, and we are jist laying on the ice waiting to be sliced up

points for using a zamboni as a metaphor, genuinely impressed

Unfortunately while evocative, it doesn't really make sense.

A Zamboni has a "conditioner" at the rear that contains a sharp horizontal blade that shaves the ice as the machine runs across the ice. The blade is a bit like a very wide wood-plane. It is sharp and controlled to be a little below the current surface of ice. The shavings are moved to a waste tank using an internal horizontal auger and vertical auger.

You usually couldn't get near enough to the blade to have a close enough shave for it to harm you. However I'm guessing a Zamboni could hurt you in other ways.

Disclaimer: I only skimmed the details . . . I'm sure applying the right amount of intelligence could discover harmful means.

I believe it's a reference

The tool just allows them to synthesize an implementation, but if its designed badly then it will fail and they will have to get better at design anyway. I dont see how that itself is the problem. The tractor didnt make farmers worse at farming even if they lost the strength to work an old school plow

I think the challenge will be everything else the person will be doing. Will this person also try to coding? And financial management? And marketing? And operational planning? Just because there are tools out there for them to synthesize implementations of that. If so then they wont be able to get good at any of those. But i think the backwards pressure from failing at those things will bring it back to a stable equilibrium where you have specialists who are good at the abstract ideas of their field leveraging these things as a new abstraction layer of work, analogous to the compiler

I think itll be fine
