whoever had the number before you probably gave it out plenty. "fresh" numbers are not really a thing anymore.

squirrel-brained "gotta catch 'em all" type behavior would explain it.

this is pretty much how i wrote one of my side projects, https://bongo.to

it was fun and very fast to ship. no frameworks or libraries needed.

it feels like soon anything that chatgpt doesn't know will be deemed "misinformation"

any experts in any field can easily find tons of stuff LLMs don’t know.

hell they don’t even know how to measure or calculate wallpaper correctly.

but which group is more active in voting and politics?

of course that exists, it was posted on this site even! i wouldn't be surprised if there are several by now. check out Rosebud.ai

i've actually read that people litter constantly in japan, but highly vigilant workers are always cleaning it up.

Why would computers have just one “point”? They have been used for endless purposes and those uses will expand forever

thanks for sharing, I will check out that book for sure!

well said. as i saw put recently, "LLMs are calculators for text" and nobody seems to get confused whether calculators are sentient

batteries are not light, that would be wasting a lot of energy to shuffle batteries around. not great for the environment.

battery packs are often structural components, this idea would make that impossible, reducing durability and safety.

not all batteries are identical. there are many different capacities and wear levels. imagine bringing in your new car for electricity and getting an old battery back. the battery is a huge portion of the cost of the car- now you have an old one!

> If you really hate air pollution, move to the country and be willing to sacrifice the advantages of cities.

i really do hate air pollution! it drove me away from idaho, where 2-3 months of the year massive forest fires would choke the air and force everyone inside (gave my kids asthma).

we recently moved away from a suburb near two highways, out to a rural area where we are half a mile from the nearest paved road.

besides the lowered air pollution, the lower noise pollution is a huge benefit. hearing birds instead of traffic is amazing. and my kids don’t choke in their sleep any more!

when we lived in the suburbs my family and i spent way more time inside than we do now in a rural setting. i think maybe you got mixed up. rural people are generally very active.

you can just read the methodology where they published it here: https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations

before React took over, "SPAs" were written with jQuery and Bootstrap, and it was common to see a project with multiple copies of different versions of jQuery. Totally possible to bloat a website without a framework. just go old school!

FYI, you probably meant to say “a moot point.”

My more general rule is that anything being advertised to me must be way overpriced or a scam, in order to pay for the expensive advertisements. I won’t buy nearly anything I see advertised. I don’t run into many ads anyway, but some always get through!

i use Vite and built my own router. Works great and i can do a whole SPA with just that.

yet another reason to avoid their products! as if i needed more ha

yes i was taught that "ln" stood for "natural log"

would be interested to hear other definitions!

they don’t really worry about murderers nor vandals

so every 4 years a new group can shift the priorities completely and what should be a technical challenge becomes a political one, dominated by those with money. I'm sure before long you would be required to input your government ID to use it. I am not sure a worse idea is even possible.

Swift can't handle it either, I had to write an extension to add that ability. Felt weird to me.

it blows me away that this is even a product. it's like a half day of dev time, and they don’t appear to have over-engineered it or even done basic things given the exploit here.

> a dystopia

i think this part gave people the impression that you meant that doing something "for nobody" (eg. for your own joy) was somehow bad/malevolent

sounds like a fantastic case study!

what i meant was- it is a poor engineer indeed who doesn't understand the concepts of philosophy such as ethics, logic, and how that led to the scientific method.

science without philosophy is just scientism. it leads to engineers creating previously unimaginable horrors!

philosophy is the basis of reason, math, and science. it's sad that "engineers" don’t understand it or it's import.

you had a book that listed every phone number in numerical order? because a phone book is the exact opposite of that

developers often want those things, but they are certainly not required.

i certainly don’t use a react data fetching library, i just use fetch. i don’t use special react state management, just use redux. i did build a router that works primarily with React in order to support JSX in the components, but it wouldn't be any harder to adapt it to another framework or setup.

the problem is exactly the same as those memes making fun of people asking on stack overflow "how do i add two numbers with jQuery?" eg 'how do we add two numbers with React'

the problem is there are always new developers making silly mistakes, and making that an indictment of some technology is a fallacy.
