At scale they will. For now, someone else puts the effort into growth marketing, eyeball capture. Reddit eventually changes the rules, seizing control, thereby acquiring users for less human cost (as opposed to missed revenue opportunity).

I'm waiting for the return of the interrobang (‽). I've used em-dashes for years, down to having an xmodmap for it, also for my beloved interrobang.

I'd argue that the panic as default answer isn't purely calls, it's also outlook, even financial trauma. I know of several people who could easily weather said layoffs, who don't need to work, but would be complete wrecks. They're just built this way.

This anecdote is just that - a one off. We can use experiments, and papers to learn more, and should.

The problem is incentives. The organization selling the per-token model doesn't have the incentive, at scale to have you reduce token consumption. Other technologies do, hence adding value.

This is very much my take. As long as the general rule is a lack of long PRs, I think we get into a good place. Blueskying, scaffolding, all sorts of things reasonably end up in long PRs.

But, it becomes incumbent on the author to write a guide for reviewing the request, to call the reviewer's attention to areas of interest, perhaps even to outline decisions made.

> on the author to write a guide for reviewing the request

I'm not saying that doesn't work, but writing a guide means the author is now also doing all the planning too.

A successful "guide" then becomes more about convincing the reviewer. The outcome is either a lot of friction, or the reviewer is just going through the motions and trust is eroding.

This is already how it works today. If there demand curve shows an increase in desire for the same items in another jurisdiction, rather then make more and ship for <x> location, they are reshipped from your geography, even store to store.

Secondly, disposal is one of two things:

1. Donation to a company that collects clothes, who in reality sell these clothes by the tonnage. Most of the clothing recyclers are companies of this nature.

2. Sale at a low value to the company above.

We're witnessing a bailout and downloading of costs, at scale. Whether or not one buys into whatever the vision of these companies are - it's clear, there's interdealing.

Tesla theoretically now owns a chunk of xAI... whose valuation will no doubt increase due to the internalized SpaceX acquisition. Append to this a future IPO, as discussed in the artice, presumably an eventual premium of 20-50% (reasonable, 14% purely for the ibankers when this will happen)... yields to an interesting bailout situation.

To me, the real question is why. The $2B from Tesla can't possibly move the needle for any party involved in this transaction. If this were to be work 50x as opposed to a potential 50% upside (hell, make it 2x for argument's sake) it still doesn't compute. So what's the actual reason.

I don't know, but it could be long term vs short term capital injection.

To me this misses a third group, those using these tools as a series of virtual teammates, a mock team member with which to ping pong possibilities.

This is actually the greatest use case I see, and interact with.

Yea I am an ENFP. While I don’t think MBTI is scientific, it captures perfectly that I have the tendency to think out loud.

LLMs make me think out loud way better.

Best rubber duck ever.

Felt very weird reading this on HN and not r/ENFPmemes. I agree completely.

Yea I know. I once went into MBTI in the vein of "it's not scientific but can I learn something useful out of it?" I tend to test close to ENFP/ENTP. I can notice tendencies of both in me. Then I went on the ENFP subreddit as I suspected many had ADHD and simply asked in a poll. A lot of them said that they did, as I suspected as I'm subclinical myself (and it becomes clinical real fast I even just sleep for 6 hours on one night).

So I learned that you can definitely glean some insights from it. One insight I have is: I'm a "talk out loud thinker". I don't really value that as an identity thing but it is definitely something I notice that I do. I also think a lot of things in my mind, but I tend to think out loud more than the average person.

So yea, that's how pseudo science can sometimes still lead to useful insights about one particular individual. Same thing with philosophy really, usually also not empirically tested (I do think it has a stronger academic grounding but to call philosophy a science is... a bit... tricky... in many cases. I think the common theme is that it's also usually not empirically grounded but still really useful).

To me, this is the first use case, depending on whether you're aware of its shortcomings or not.

I'd think you'd just get a lot of bots agreeing with you.

This nails my issue with systems design insanity. There are so many things you learn through living with systems that are correct, though counterintuitive.

Do a thing. Write rubbish code. Build broken systems. Now scale scale. Then learn how to deal with the pattern changing as domains specific patterns emerge.

I watched this at play with a friend's startup. He couldn't get response times within the time period needed for his third party integration. After some hacking, we opted to cripple his webserver. Turns out that you can slice out mass amounts of the http protocol (and in that time server overhead) and still meett all of your needs. Sure it needs a recompile - but it worked and scaled, far more then anything else they did. Their exit proved that point.
