They may not come after all the niche companies, but they definitely come after the most successful markets, especially those with low effort moats.
Same goes for relying on the Apple/Google app stores (ex - Apple literally got slapped in court for copying successful apps and then pushing their offering to the top of their stores... talk about wildly abusive behavior).
I may still choose to use AWS/GCP/Azure while trying to find product-market fit as an immature startup, but I'd look real, REAL hard at ditching them as soon as possible afterwards.
Unless you have particularly bursty workloads, they aren't even a good cost saving measure anymore.
This guys account currently sits on negative karma with this post:
>It's kind of crazy when someone has an outlier experience and then tries to frame an entire country as being that way.
I've experienced a lot of cultures, countries, and environments. The United States is KNOWN for being a friendly country of people who will talk to you and smile at you for "no reason" other than because Americans are friendly.
Go to many countries in Europe or even Russia, you'll experience the exact oppositive. If you smile at people or talk to a stranger, you will essentially be treated as if something is wrong with you.
Everyone knows this is true about the US. Your comment is clearly trying to portray the United States in a negative light with something that is entirely not true.
And then there's my experience: someone who has lived in the US for over 30+ years.
Karm isn't the indicator by which one can be judged. There is an entire world outside of Hacker News. All you have to do is create an account and make a comment others disagree with and bam -- negative Karma.
There's a saying in Spanish that says, "Don't make firewood out of a fallen tree." You could learn a lot from that saying.
Maybe some will call me a troll or wierdo, but there's one thing I will never be: someone who makes firewood out of a fallen tree.
God bless you, as a person. I know we hide behind these screennames, but if I were standing in front of you, I would extend my hand and from the bottom of my heart, ask God to bless you, as a person, in real life.
I'm not perfect, so I can't blame you for addressing me as a troll. But I speak from the heart brother.
The field more than likely has peaked out for software developers. Jevons paradox means there probably will not be enough agents anytime soon as ambition grows but that doesn't mean the number of developers will grow with it. You will probably need less "real" pilots behind these agents as tools improve around them and so do the agents themselves before they can essentially fully pilot themselves and work in parallel. Work may even increase for the developers that remain where they are expected to do the work of >10 developers as a single dev but to expect the number of developers to increase with the number of agents seems unlikely as having more people will actually end up being a bottleneck then a lean team that can orchestrate a growing force of agents.
AI companies have set themselves up for this scenario. They won't solve themselves out of the equation, they will only solve you.
Persia's only singular civilizational goal right now is nukes.
What's funny is, all nuclear engineering programs in US universities (undergrad and grad level) are disproportionately filled with Iranian/Persian students (even as far down as 3rd generation immigrants i.e. those whose parents emigrated during the Shah Pahlavi era).
It's unreal how determined that entire culture is to getting the bomb. It's a big hit to their ego that all the other great "academic" civs of the world (Western European, Russian, Chinese, Indian, Jewish) have it except the Persians.
And they'll get it eventually. The question is only under what regime.
Pokemon isn't entirely unique. A lot of things from the 90s are still popular because it is from a time before Israel plunged the world into madness. Culturally, things have dramatically stagnated ever since.
These attacks feel like a last gasp of air before death. There is no strategy except to use the last remaining resources to inflict damage to wherever possible but obviously this is not a strategy that will lead to survival.
Turning the entire Middle East against Israel and the US seems like a pretty good strategy actually. Iran has been incredibly successful in this war so far.
Is it working, though? You have to hold an incredibly low opinion of the intelligence of the leadership of the rest of Middle East to think they won't realize it's not exactly what it is. The few indicators I've seen suggest they're not falling for it. They might not like the US or Israel, but Iran was nobody's favorite country either.
It's not about intelligence, it's about strategy. Iran is bombing US assets in these countries and now that the US defenses are running thin, they're pulling back to Israel and leaving these countries out to dry. So not only is Iran effectively destroying the Israel/US defensive line and early warning systems, they're leaving the other Middle Eastern countries without defense and at the mercy of Iran. This seems to be pretty effective so far.
