This is talking about ibuprofen and acetaminophen, not prescription drugs. Also controlling inflamation and swelling is a very important part of an injury recovery plan; it's not all about Americans complaining about pain.

I tend to look at other people involved, like contributors but not just the volume but actual people and their other activity. If the original author is still around and active that tends to be a good sign IME

it's the frame that's surprisingly - and consistentnly - wrong. You'd think two triangles would be pretty easy to repro; once you get that the rest is easy. It's not like he's asking "draw a pelican on a four-bar linkage suspension mountainbike..."

This is older, but even humans don't have a great concept of how a bicycle works... https://twistedsifter.com/2016/04/artist-asks-people-to-draw...

Wouldn't this be more about being capable of mentally remembering how a bicycle looks versus how it works?

This reminds me of Pictionary. [0] Some people are good and some are really bad.

I am really bad a remembering how items look in my head and fail at drawing in Pictionary. My drawing skills are tied to being able to copy what I see.

I think it’s difficult to draw a bike exactly because you remember how it works rather than how it looks, so you worry about placing all the functional parts and get the overall composition wrong. Similar to drawing faces, without training, people will consistently dedicate too much area to the lower part of the face and draw some kind of neanderthal with no forehead.

is it possible to have greater success with the specificity? I don't think i ever drew a bike frame properly as a kid despite riding them and understanding the concept of spokes and wheels...

you can also get a service contract via MS quite easily/cheaply, which mightnot help you with hard problems but does solve the easy ones. example: in earlydays we bought OpenAI API directly and via Azure; when we needed account service we got it immediately from MS instead of waitlists from OpenAI.


this is peak "the majority of people in this role are garbage but I'm a rockstar". 98%+ of people identify as special snowflakes.


did we really need all this? Didn't the experiences with Ivy League Universities alreay prove it all out?


but you're part of the 1%, right?


Either that or a cockroach.


>> Anish Acharya says it is not worth it to use AI-assisted coding for all business functions. AI should focus on core business development, not rebuilding enterprise software.

I don't even know what this means, but my take: we should stop listening to VCs (especially those like A16Z) who have an obvious vested interest that doesn't match the rest of society. Granting these people an audience is totally unwarranted; nobody but other tech bros said "we will vibe code everything" in the first place. Best case scenario: they all go to the same exclusive conference, get the branded conference technical vest and that's were the asteroid hits.
