I think they are saying that it's difficult to "maintain manners" for hundreds of thousands to millions of diverse "I, the individual" 's. It's great that you don't struggle with t…

OP hadn't been responding to any claims about being "truly life changing" he was addressing the point regarding what parts of his day are now reliant on AI such that his work would…

What I'm gathering here is that your argument simply boils down to that it's your personal preference (in this example) that rotating 90 degrees should have no associated animation…

It feels a little disingenuous to ignore the second half of his final sentence/conclusion. Feels like you're trying to do some kind of "gotcha". The main thrust of what he was sayi…

> No, you were saying that accessibility is subservient to efficiency Where do you believe I said that? I don't recall saying anywhere that efficiency should be a priority over acc…

> there are other considerations besides one measure of efficiency Bruh that's literally what I was saying? Instead of how efficiently can you replace a filter in an engine, anothe…

Given how many people have seemingly jumped on misinterpreting the truism as me making some claim of a specific fuel efficiency improvement, I'd disagree with people being already …

> Yes, I'm sure most people on this website have ran into seemingly bad design choices which made sense once they knew more context. But that doesn't mean that all bad design choic…

ok, glad you seem to have everything figure out so definitively

I'm just gonna copy and paste a response to another similar comment: The point that I am making (obviously, I think) is that tradeoffs exist, even if you don't think the right deci…

I'm using this hypothetical to illustrate the point that: tradeoffs exist, and that you (we) may not have full insight into the full complexity of the trade space that the engineer…

Sorry we're talking about a hypothetical car engine, and as an analogy to software development. I'm not an expert in designing car engines like you, but acting like this example be…

Glad to know in this hypothetical car scenario the owner decided to not get an oil change leading to the total loss of the vehicle. That seems very realistic and definitely somethi…

Right but what I'm getting at is that there can be tradeoffs that might make designing for maintainability mean optimizing for something less important to the end user. Do you opti…

What if there's an efficiency in engine design by placing the filter in the middle that leads to a +2mpg improvement for the driver? Or that it fails, on average, 22k miles later i…

So... what exactly is your argument here? The children of a man who is convicted and sent to prison should also go to prison, so as to avoid separation? Or that we just don't send …

Apple paid 304m in taxes on 1200m in profits in the UK. That's ~25% tax rate on profits. It's entirely subjective to say if that's a "pretty hefty" rate or not, but it seems to be …

> It's all relative. Except "AI". That is more of a disabler than an enabler Feels like there's some irony here given the rest of your comment. "It's always been this way and proba…

This is a nice example/re-stating of what the heritability % "means" here. I'm curious, with something like smoking/drinking, how you can be confident that you've untangled genetic…

What is it that you're arguing for then? That there be some entity that gets to decide what is and isn't a productive use of all of our excess money? Who gets to decide what's exce…

Well it's more like a currency than any other object because it has been used historically to either a) be the currency, or b) back the currency. Sure that's not true today in the …

Sure, that stuff too. The point still being that it's a pretty predictable set of changes being made to whatever photo you give it.

There's a pretty clear expected transformation here though? It takes an image and then reduces the "shiny-ness" of it by giving it the same transformation: change the sky to overca…
