It's a complete mystery...

hexbin010··on High-speed train collision in Spain kills at least 39
No idea but yeah of course it's a common tactic to squash criticism by being all haughty and saying everyone must wait for official investigations etc. There's middle ground. Especially when proper journalism is basically non existent these days
hexbin010··on Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back
> I think also you need to compare it to what was already there

No. The bar is "miracle" and can cure cancer etc and can replace all developers etc. The bar is much higher than existing manual processes. It absolutely needs to be perfection to match the lofty claims

hexbin010··on Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back
Awesome! Fully tested? QA'd? No false positives etc?

I wouldn't want to hassle customers who have fully paid up accounts

A miracle! Tell us more! What kind of apps? How has it helped revenue?

Blame game has started. Minister saying the track was renewed in May. Train operator saying the train was inspected 4 days ago.

I'm in Spain currently. Very sad news.

hexbin010··on The Nobel Prize and the Laureate Are Inseparable
ah yeh that's what I meant by NATO. Sorry Greenland
hexbin010··on How London cracked mobile phone coverage on the Underground
Don't lecture me in a condescending manner. I'm British, I've taken the train all my life, and for years have worn NC headphones to counter the incessant announcements and anti social behaviour. I also have to my play my own music to drown it out

Also: generalising about Europeans is quite ignorant. As is ignoring recent data and recent risks and just citing long term data to insinuate people are being hysterical

hexbin010··on The Nobel Prize and the Laureate Are Inseparable
Epstein, NATO, Russia

Ignore distractions such as the Nobel

hexbin010··on How London cracked mobile phone coverage on the Underground
I know, it's pathetic. It's partly because they don't want to pay for the staff to do the enforcement and partly probably some other reasons.

In classic British style they just try to influence and nudge people with campaigns and posters. That way the organisation doesn't have to deal with awkward accusations of racism etc

hexbin010··on How London cracked mobile phone coverage on the Underground
That also creates a problem that people then can not hear important announcements or be aware of dangers (such as knife wielding attackers, as happened on an LNER train just late last year)

It's actually against byelaws to play music or other loud sounds on transport in London and they can prosecute you if they so wished...

It's about acknowledging it's a shared resource and respecting the space. No loud noises, no littering, no being drunk etc

These days people act like they're the only ones travelling

hexbin010··on Cursor's latest “browser experiment” implied success without evidence
Yes that's completely expected. Just like any other tool or service.

It's just like a chisel. Well the chisel company didn't promise to let you become a master craftsman overnight but anyway it's just like a chisel in that you have to learn how to use it. And people expect a chisel to actually chisel through wood out the box but anyway it's exactly like a chisel.

No you see you just need to prompt it to implement functional and working code. You're just inexperienced and holding it wrong
