How so? I don't have an account but I am able to read the entire paper directly from the OP's link, is there some sort of free limit or something that I have yet to hit? I get some banner ads served on their site but I'm not seeing how it isn't open access.
Researchgate has nothing to do with OA. Its a social media page for researchers. OA is open licensing that give the reader the rights to download, distribute, etc.
You may be arguing that ResearchGate allows free access to its articles in general. If so, I believe there's a logical fallacy in your argument. But I've been warned that naming that logical fallacy is a ban-able offense on HN. (Surreal but true.)
> Maybe I don't understand journalism but this guy being a reporter, shouldn't he have had an editor reviewing his work before they hit publish?
While the journalist is still responsible for their own actions, I agree with you that this being published in the first place is indicative of a deeper failure akin to - "if a junior dev accidentally deletes your production db on their first day that's on the company itself"
> But I don't think the intention was to compare with junior devs
Junior was said specifically.
A better analogy would be if one of your staff engineers decided to connect OpenClaw to his workspace and it found a way to delete the production DB.
The author was an AI reporter. You can’t argue that he didn’t know what he was doing when he made these choices. Any comparisons involved junior devs are just dishonest.
Specifying a junior dev on his first day is a plain deliberate rhetorical ploy to frame systemic blame as more legitimate than individual blame. If not, then why not make it a senior developer? Anybody can fuck something up, but we give special consideration to noobs who make noob mistakes, and that's what is being implicitly appealed to, illegitimately. This journalist wasn't a noob, and using ChatGPT to write his article was an error in judgement but not an actual mistake.
I disagree with you, deal with it. Specifying a junior developer to make the point of blaming systems instead of individuals, to absolve a journalist of individual blame for fabricating quotes, is flat out bullshit and you're wrong to try weaselling it.
Inb4 Omg I still can't believe you're disagreeing with me, like yikes dude go outside.
Auroiris is right, it's a Motte and Bailey routine. And it's insulting that you're pretending otherwise.
I don’t think so. Junior was a key designator in the claim and words have meanings. It would have been easier to leave it out if they didn’t intend for it to contribute meaning.
I think this is turning into a Motte and Bailey argument where the junior dev story is used to push the argument and then it’s backpedaled out when others identify the fallacy.
Kia Telluride here but I assume it's the same underlying system as Hyundai - I can attest that it's very good (and doesn't cost anything extra like Tesla charges lol) which makes sense considering they have the majority stake in Boston Dynamics since a few years ago.
> I feel like they artificially made their prices super low for the last couple years and intentionally operated at a loss as a business tactic to force out competition
iirc that's exactly what Amazon did to destroy diapers.com over a decade ago
Diapers.com aka Quidsi was already operating at a loss when it was acquired by Amazon. It's whole business model was using VC-funding to offer products below sustainable costs with the goal of eventually jacking up prices once they drove out smaller/local competitors. Amazon used its own business model against it by dropping prices even lower, knowing that the VC investors couldn't afford it.
Walmart passed on buying Quidsi when Walmart was thinking about launching its own e-commerce platform because the business model was unsustainable. Walmart decided they would rather spend several hundred millions building out their own platform then to buy an existing website with millions of customers.
You're not a failure. I graduated 2009 with a computer engineering degree (not quite as prestigious as MIT but a decent school) and basically did odd jobs and freelance for several years until I finally got my foot in the door at a tech company and my career took off from there.
1. Stop doomscrolling - this is imperative. Almost nothing good will come from it and ends up being a vicious cycle for any depression you are experiencing.
2. Even if it's embarrassing, keep talking to your old classmates. Ask about job openings or anything. The easiest way to get a job is through an internal reference, otherwise your application may never even be seen by the hiring manager.
3. Exercise, do some sort of physical activity - even going for a short walk outside every day will help improve your mental health.
4. Find a personal project to work on and commit time to it that would have otherwise spent doomscrolling. It is good mental exercise and it's also good for job hunting - you may not have prior job experience but a personal Git portfolio showcasing your skills is definitely something good employers will look at.
> Pub landlords seeking to introduce dynamic pricing may get a better response if they try and alter the drinkers's perception in a similar way. Presenting price changes as being cheaper during off-peak times are likely to be viewed as a gain from the drinkers' perspective.
I have been to a bar that did something like this from over a decade ago and it was a popular venue.
The bar menu prices function like a basic stock market - the more any one drink is ordered the price goes up by some increment. Conversely, every X minutes that a drink isn't ordered, the price goes down.
