Eh, I'm not convinced by the analogy. Phones don't run on fuel (and you can recharge a phone with any electricity supply), iPhones will run on more or less any phone network (which…

> Fella has read the article Then not closely enough? The study adjusts for age, which is the core of OP’s criticism.

For me personally there’s something deeply unsatisfying about hobby projects that are entirely AI generated. Work code is something different. I don’t have passion for a lot of tha…

I don’t really get the point you’re making. That it’s illogical? Sure. Voters often are. They still get to vote, though. Sometimes you have to sell an idea through emotion. “I assu…

I think you’re completely sidestepping the point of the OPs post about “emotional truth”. It’s indisputably true that a data center tapped a water supply without the supplier knowi…

I think it's less the hard numbers than "promised not to use then used". It destroys trust in any future developments because you know you can't take them at their word.

The HN discussions you linked to: 1. 10 points, 15 comments 2. 9 points, 17 comments 3. 44 points, 84 comments That’s not exactly that many doomsters. The first two were barely dis…

Except that it hasn’t. X specifically changed the way they operate to financially reward people who post popular content. That led to an immediate downturn in the quality of the ne…

To my mind the simplest answer is that if it isn’t possible to do it safely then you shouldn’t be able to do it. Is this firehose of social media actually a societal benefit? I’m l…

https://xcancel.com/nikitabier/status/2085105586966827343#m The most consequential change in recent years has been to pay users for posting controversial content. For me that kille…

Again: sourcing? An explanation of how the Chinese Communist Party is able to transfer money to middle of nowhere community activists like those mentioned in the article?

Is there? Do you have sourcing? Who are the well funded actors spending big against data centers?

No, it was as a comment about the Chinese government, not something inherent in the Chinese race

Some of the reaction to data center build outs has become irrational but frankly I see it as a reflection of the arrogance of the billionaire tech elite. Voters were told: - AI is …

But WKWebView does handle its own networking. You’re able to implement block lists, just the same as you can via browser plugin, but in this instance networking definitely is handl…

Which is why we need strong regulation. People shouldn’t be able to vote with their wallet when other peoples lives are at stake.

It’s odd how uninteresting a blog post about an AI system is. “We defined code review rules as if they were linter rules and let the AI agent review code” I don’t really need to kn…

> You were/are unskilled. You're being ridiculous and trying to bring personal insult into a conversation. I have, numerous times, asserted that I am discussing the state of the in…

Data is cheap and fast, CPU time still isn't. I've profiled numerous web sites on slow Android devices and they absolutely crawl when parsing JS and giant JSON blobs required to hy…

> Every time I see this kind of pet project I see whether they are addressing any actual issue of React Then I think you're looking at those projects from the wrong angle. The poin…

> And this is why it pays to just learn React. It pays you, the developer, yes. It does not benefit the user. > A contact form is not that complex. Correct, my example was not a gr…

You're showing your ignorance here. Different frameworks have different ways of working that can lead to better or worse performance on client devices, no matter what Fable spits o…

I think React is way overused but every time you see a blog post with "replace it with this pet mini project instead" I groan because you know the reaction is going to be "what abo…
