The colours are suspiciously consistent across every svg. Like why should the bike always be that shade of red for example? It does seem to be trained on this problem.

I read this article and was beginning to feel like it wasn't really going anywhere or making good arguments. Was disappointed, although in hindsight not surprised to find out that it was AI-slop.

Stop upvoting AI-slop people!

I am suspicious of "articles" in this format. They seem to be simultaneously pushing an agenda whilst deliberately targeting midwits.

Its called "free movement of labor" and its a very good thing. Arguably the reason that Silicon Valley happened in the first place.

For me, the actual thing that git is not fantastic for is versioning data(bases), but this article doesn't seem to address that. In fact I am struggling to parse the article's proposed problem/solution.

Right- but why not let the LLM program directly in Java?

In the age of LLMs, I get why you would dump portablity in favour of close-to-the-metal Swift and Javascript codebases. However I don't really understand the need for Kotlin- surely thats just an unnecessary complication and performance hit?

I read a prediction maybe 30 years ago that women would eventually start to beat men in endurance events, so its really interesting to see it actually happen. It seems that one slightly overlooked aspect of the research is to look at the way that athletes are actually living: women often have greater responsibility for stuff outside of their sport whereas male athletes often have the option of focusing their lives 100% on their chosen competition- I suspect that female performance might actually be slightly underreported when you control for a lack of caregiving responsibilities.

It should be obvious that AI is already capable of inducing humans to think or do things, and that this power is only going to increase over time.

Yes, but the point is that maybe in 2026 we should be looking at ways to pay contributors/creators, rather than steal from them (slightly hyperbolic, but you get the gist)

I am slightly on the fence about this. If the goal is simply to provide a good platform for people to create and share information with each other, then it shouldn't matter if the wiki is indexed in Google or not, in fact "invisibility" might even increase the quality of contributions.

OTOH if the goal is to monetize other people's contributions then yes, I totally get why the "Google jail" would be bad for that, but I'm just not sure that its a cause worth fighting for- that road basically leads to a new Fandom.

I don't know. Something just feels... "off" about it?

If you were so inclined you read equivalent stuff in the Telegraph every week, so why go after DHH and his projects so enthusiastically? It just feels like there is something else going on.

Does DHH actually deserve to be cancelled, or Omarchy "defunded"? I just read the OOTL on Reddit, and I have to say that I am not entirely convinced. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1oa74wh/im_out_of_th...

I'm not totally sure about the specifics since despite being an engineer, I cannot distinguish electricity from witchcraft. That said, I do know that if you want to charge your phone from your dynohub you need to ideally have some sort of powerbank in the middle.

I'm suprised that the author didn't consider dynohubs which were also a thing in back in 2011, and are getting slightly better all the time.

Unless I'm missing something here, this is all wrong. Markdown is OK, but for a variety of reasons, HTML is much better.

What you _should_ be doing is ensuring that your page works with screen readers. That simultaneously solves any kind of machine-readability issues and also makes your website accessible for the blind.

Are you a bot? Are you sure that you are answering in the thread that you meant to?

Have also struggled with this- would be great to see a fix

Meanwhile, my Flickr account still has my pics despite threatening to delete them for like 15 years.

The irony here is that ABC is the platfrom doing the rage-baiting.

I use it (sbx), but I don't 100% trust that it actually works, and I would prefer something open source where the limits of the sandboxing could be tested and explored.

Maybe we should just ssh into separate development machines to ensure real and verifiable sandboxing? (as was totally standard before Docker became a thing)

To be fair- one of the interesting things about TikTok is how it rewards good commenting. It seems to bury negative commentary and reward positive commentary with the result that the comment field is generally some combination of genuinely insightful and hilarious.

But surely the openapi spec is more mature and widely adopted?

It does seem like a return to RPC/REST over HTTP (maybe I am missing some subtleties), which makes sense to me since I never really understood the advantage that MCP bestowed.

I didn't get either of these jokes.

Is this an actual think that is actually going to happen? I really want a simple notech ev.

Wait- wut!?

Boycott. Divestment. Sanctions.

Having thought about it, I wonder if Klein, Ferris and maybe some of the others were there to give talks.

Interesting to see that the progressive journalist Ezra Klein was in attendance. Also Kaja Kallas. Not quite sure what to make of that.
