Do you have any proof or even just actual argument whatsoever that the very specific thread I linked to has any such alleged problems? Did you actually even bother to read the many comments there? Unlike your single-phrase blanket statement they are actually quite thoughtful. You could learn a thing or to on Internet discussions from that thread.
There was no prediction or conclusion made whatsoever, it was a number of for the Internet quite high quality personal observations. If you are unable or unwilling to accept the personal observations of those people, here doctors, then the issue is on your side.
We also know that there indeed is a significant difference in culture, we can see that in elections and elsewhere. That too is a "known bias", which you also ignore.
So differences in general are real, and you cannot simply dismiss any anecdotes as "bias", especially since there never was a claim for that thread to be anything more than that.
This divide is also not the same all over the globe, the US may be more extreme (example: https://www.uva.nl/shared-content/uva/en/news/news/2024/03/t... -- "Compared to the US, UK and Canada, overall levels of urban-rural electoral divides are still substantially lower in most European countries, due to centrist parties attracting support from both urban and rural areas."). That too has some interesting comments showing this in that thread, with the bad anecdotes coming mostly from US doctors.
Has been my experience as well, never used ChatGPT for anything but as an interface to external documentations and understanding unfamiliar syntax.
Tried using it for the first time for vibe coding and was quite disappointed with the overall result, felt like a college student hastily copy pasting code from different sources for a project due tomorrow.
Back in 2019, I submitted a GSOC proposal for Apertus. They wanted to add frame serving capability [1] to their RAW image processing software OpenCine [2]. Even though my proposal was rejected, I ended up learning a lot from their coding challenge [3] which was mandatory for submitting a proposal.
Reading research papers to understand Demosaicing [4], learning C++ coding guidelines, RAW file format, code reviews and feedback from Andrej and others at Apertus was really fun. At the time I was still a sophomore at college so I asked and made a ton of mistakes. Thanks Andrej [5] and team for being patient with so many of us! :)
I'm not sure if you're referring to my comment or to parents'. (Not a good sign for my comment I guess :|).
But just FYI that complaining about HN going the way of Reddit is very frowned upon here (if not outright against the rules, I don't remember.)
It's also fairly unoriginal - people have been complaining that HN is becoming Reddit since HN was created, more or less. We're talking a good 10+ years of this complaint.
Recently gave an interview where they asked me to open my Leetcode profile, and checked if there are any prior submissions to the asked questions. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I sincerely hope you walked out of that interview without accommodating that request. Would hope you mind naming the company only so others can avoid it?
Treating a candidate as suspects seems to be a new low, even for the tech industry.
An interview is a two way street. That person probably did you a favor though by letting you know what your potential coworkers and/or company culture was about.
I switched from ansi-term to vterm (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm) and its performance is much better (specially when dealing with large bursts of output).
