> From my PoV, pretending you can feed outputs, test suites or APIs from existing code and have AI "rewrite it" so you can call it your own is just theft. If you replace “AI” with …

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, considering that this actually happened: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/google-pixel-4as-rui...

Molly is great; I use it for the same purpose. I find the Signal devs' attitude so frustrating; they deliberately disable the ability to use Signal in secondary device mode for pho…

There are non-Chinese open LLMs (Mistral, LLama, etc), so I don't think that explains it.

It'd be weirder if they didn't , considering how much X, The Everything App by Elon Musk, prioritizes subscriber posts. The last time I checked my feed on X, The Everything App by …

Parent comment asserted that "flying gets worse every year", which is a very different declaration than "flying got significantly worse after 9/11"

> the flying experience gets worse every year People always say this, but I haven't seen any evidence that it's true. In my view, the flying experience at least in the US has actua…

That’d be really exciting if they managed to get a working Malaria vaccine out of this research. Would be useful in so many places.

To be fair, it’s the security team’s idiotic position on IMAP that prompted the parent commenter to find a workaround. It’s like how having super draconian password reset and compl…

The OG Rift is still pretty great -- unlike the newer products, it doesn't require a Facebook account, and you can use it with SteamVR if you want and not really even bother with t…

It's really a shame what has happened to Blue Origin. They've gone from a promising space startup to yet another purveyor of perpetual vaporware. Where is the BE-4 engine? Delayed,…

I really hope Epic wins that lawsuit against Apple, not because I particularly care about Epic, but because I'd like to see Apple forced to allow alternative web browsers. Still do…

IIRC, unvaccinated are more likely to get infected and also typically have higher viral loads, which corresponds to higher infectiousness.

Exactly -- people are still free to not get vaccinated, but they're not free to go to aggregate settings where they might infect everyone there, which seems like a reasonable compr…

The key difference between Toyota's approach and Tesla's was simple: Tesla built out their own charging infrastructure. Just like with battery-electric-vehicles, there's a chicken …

You're getting downvoted, but it's true -- CEQA is a great example of how well-intentioned environmental legislation can be abused by basically anyone to stonewall any project for …

The key argument against this is that many of the planned highways were also supposed to go through richer neighborhoods, but never got constructed because the residents of those n…

Exactly -- you can't build big projects without stepping on someone's toes. What we really need is equal-opportunity toe-stepping.
