What the Hell Is Going On?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-06 22:08:01

What the hell is going on right now? Engineers are burning out. Orgs expect their senior engineering staff to be able to review and contribute to “vibe-coded” features that don’t work. My personal observation is that the best engineers are highly enthusiastic about helping newer team members contribute and learn. Instead of their comments being taken to heart, reflected on, and used as learning opportunities, hapless young coders are instead using feedback as simply the next prompt in their “A

Companies all over the world are currently racing to shrink their workforces and replace them with AI. Often, it seems, this isn’t working out for the firms involved. Case in point: A bank in Australia recently did so, but then had to ask its workers to come back after it turned out that the chatbot that it had launched to replace them couldn’t cut the mustard. Last month, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia announced that it would be laying off 45 customer service workers as it rolled out a new

Some workers sued the company over their terminations and severance packages, after some 6,000 staff - more than half its workforce - were sacked as part of a cost-cutting measure after Musk took over the company in 2022.

That idea is not without its detractors. Among other issues, many feel AI is not capable of the creative thought needed in research, makes too many mistakes and hallucinations, and may limit opportunities for young researchers. Nevertheless, a number of scientists and policymakers are very keen on the promise of AI scientists. The US government’s AI Action Plan describes the need to “invest in automated cloud-enabled labs for a range of scientific fields.” Some researchers think AI scientists c

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default. Instead, Notion has designed offline mode to be, well, a separate mode. It needs to be enabled manually for each document you want to access without an internet connection.
