The author belongs in tech; it's his Dilbert-esque coworkers that don't. They are Doctorow's so called reverse centaurs, nothing more than a meat-based proxy to a LLM.
If good coffee is the goal and one doesn't insist specifically on espresso or having steamed milk, the humble pourover is a good starting point. The pourover funnel, filters, and a decent hand grinder are relatively inexpensive and, with only a little practice, the output is as good as any americano produced by the average barista at 1/5 the price per cup.
60-70 years ago would have been the 1950s-1960s, the American post-WW2 economic boom. The rest of the world was rebuilding their cities and mourning their dead.
Sure, you can have another post-war economic boom if you're willing to go through another world war to get to it and a drone doesn't get you. You're in luck, seems like we'll be having one soon.
Pre-announcements run afoul of Hacker News's no promotional materials guideline and also are a huge turn-off for HN's audience. Please review the HN guidelines that are linked at the bottom of the page or contact the HN site administrators at the email on the contact page if you have any questions.
Submissions containing job postings are not permitted; please check the section of the FAQ linked at the bottom of the page named "Can I post a job ad?". As it notes, job postings are permitted only in the "Who's Hiring?" thread posted on the first weekday of each month.
Developers who say things like this are toast; they bring nothing to the table other than the ability to talk to the LLM. The product owner does not need an expensive headcount to talk to the LLM on their behalf.
(Lots of crappy product owners do, you say? Such POs are going to be toast too when being able to communicate with the LLM fluently becomes part of the job requirements.)
My bad, sorry. I was under the impression that the way that the second chance pool worked was that the original was boosted instead of a copy being created so it seemed like a duplicate.
(other mod here) - not your bad! our complexity :) - usually it works exactly as you described, but when the post is older than a few days we have to do it the other way, by spawning a new post. The reasons for this are mostly technical and boring.
