The pearl clutching over which words people use and “degrading the vernacular” is embarrassing. It’s just a word. Words change, languages change, there is no pristine noble ideal language to pursue or maintain here.
Yeah it’s hard for me to take any of this at face value given how absolutely janky the evidence is thus far. I’m waiting for some non-potato cam footage with a human saying “hey watch this superconductor footage, this is what we did to make the material”
It’s amazing you can log onto this website and spout utter bullshit like “assault and theft have been decriminalized in California”. It’s a totally laughable thing to say and I don’t know why no one else has called this poster out for this blatant lie.
I think this depends on what your definition of “work” is. I’m going to assume the poster you’re replying to means your typical office, service, or labor job - most of which are as you said, meaningless, consuming or alienating.
Huh? I have personally committed production code that was 100% generated by an LLM. Simply because the code was correct and written more quickly than I could have physically typed it out. Does that not count as correct code to you?
Are you saying this with conviction? There are 2 full time people working on this and hundreds of volunteers. I think it’s going to become a “functional” web browser within the next year or two.
+1 for django ninja. I built a little side project with it a few months back and was super impressed by how easy it was to get up and running. I didn’t want to leave the Django ORM behind so was very pleased to find this project.
Plastics are incredibly useful and enable modern society as you correctly point out. In an ideal world, governments would at least phase out single use plastics.
This is important research that needs to be done. However, this is an expected result at this stage. This technology has not been scaled up and has not been optimized - it would be premature to do so at this point. I’m sure if and when this becomes viable at mass scale, more substantial efforts will be made in reducing CO2 output.
I don’t know why you’re trying to naturalize private equity behaviour. It’s not some immutable law of nature, it’s a shitty consequence of our current set of laws and economic system. Our society could be better.
Do you honestly think the price fixation is “weird”? $3500 is insanely expensive for a consumer product - so expensive that it is flat out unobtainable for many Americans, and an extremely hard sell for many more.
Who is “woke” in this context? Is it everyone involved? Do you just deem everyone involved with Rust “woke”? This is the most intellectually lazy shit, please find new words.
This is an absurd post, these tirades against the boogeyman of “woke culture” are so tiresome. Engage with the content of the blog post instead of deferring to this tribal bullshit.
I think it’s more important to engage with the contents of the post rather than your misgivings with the author’s writing style. Honestly it’s a childish approach to have.
Genuinely baffled that there are people out there that think emulation is “wrong”. Emulation is a civic good, full stop. To assert some kind of moral high ground against emulation is absurd.
These multi-billion dollar corporations cannot be trusted to maintain their digital storefronts or the ability to play games into the future. This has been shown time and time again as Nintendo et al. have shuttered eshops, dropped support for consoles, and removed titles from circulation. Video game history and its preservation fully depend on emulation efforts from the community.
You need to recalibrate your expectations. The majority of murders are not totally random, senseless attacks. Getting murdered by a random junkie is not a common thing.
