It's quite transparently a trick to prolong engagement with the app, just as pretty much any internet product which aims to maximize the LTV extracted from the user base.

The tragedy in Gaza, the tragedy in Srebrenica, the tragedy in Rwanda? Genocide is the word.

This is a joke right?

Like the other commenter has said, the reason there are no such stories is that they would be hypocritical BS, and I'll add, designed to manufacture consent for unlawful military action against a sovereign nation.

The perennially genocidal occupying force controlling all aspects of Palestinian life including forcing them into a subsistence diet, "mowing the lawn" in Gaza every so often, shooting down peaceful unarmed protesters - some of them disabled - and all that before 7/Oct - has no right to complain about terrorism, for it's what it has inflicted on Palestinians for decades.

Fascinating, and what about the discarded hardware? Is it recyclable in any way?

I appreciate your thoughtful response, you might be right, maybe there's an element of getting over myself to stay in the race...

I didn't mention the crucial point which is that I what I signed up for was writing my own software.

I grew up witnessing Carmack going from Keen to Quake in 5 or 6 years.

That standard gets you attached to the idea that you should be able at some level to individually reach a fraction of the depth and breadth. Sadly, I have neither the energy nor the focus.

But what's the point of getting an LLM to, say, write a raycaster if your point is to learn how to do that yourself? If your mission in life is to learn to build things?

(I hope I'm getting my idea across)

I live with a feeling of nonaccomplishment, never having taken a project to completion thanks to my shitty executive function. The AI craze has robbed me of any hope that I might still meaningfully* achieve this in my career.

Hanging out in the streets on a Saturday is America's conception of a protest, you think people with this sort of consciousness understand unionizing?

You made me curious, but there are like 5 different films with that title - which one are you referring to?

Voyager spoils the TNG experience by rehashing so many stories - definitely watch TNG first.

When there's time, you review, when there isn't you trust...

Blackshirt elegy over here folks.

They will never experience xenophobia in any meaningful way, unlike the millions surveilled by the technology they're developing.

That's the problem with the "it just works" philosophy. When it doesn't... you have no idea what's wrong and no way to fix it. A bolted hood over the engine.

Also have 2 8020D's but I skimped on the subwoofer. Probably a bad idea, since they deemphasize the lows so much, but surprisingly I can crank up them up on my mixer's EQ to make up for it without losing clarity.

The best, surest way to protect Israelis from resistance attacks is to end the reason for a resistance in the first place - the apartheid state. If you want Palestine to be free, this should be a no-brainer.

Okay? I'm not making a point about how long individuals should want to spend working (although this being 2026 I believe it should be less not more)

Alphabet has effectively monetized the world economy and gained outsized influence on policy, and Brin has about 25% of voting shares on the company

His money is on advocating that people widely forfeit a right acquired by labor movements in the early 20th century, and through his ex, on public-sector scientific research becoming unviable

This amounts nakedly (if fortuitously) a further consolidation of power and capital in the hands of a powerful few

While Brin comes back to Google to advocate for 60h workweeks as it lays off thousands of employees.

Can you clarify the no relocation requirement? I would consider moving to Stockholm for this role, and have the right to work there as I'm a EU citizen.

Correct - IIRC it's called the "proxy icon"

That core philosophy is a focus on aesthetics which means that API design in Ruby is much more driven by developer taste than practical considerations (for better or worse)

No matter who wins, we lose.

Also worth checking out, the FOSS clone X-Moto

I'd be more interested in understanding why OAI would think exporting PII to a 3rd party platform was acceptable. As for whether they follow the same standard with other providers, all bets are now off

Pretty big red flag, as if the revelation they were having a data protection amateur hour wasn't enough

Wouldn't it be relatively cheap to use Claude as a self-organizing control backplane for invoking the MCP tools that would actually do the work?

I didn't say DHH has died, did I? No one believes that. And even if they did, when did we start getting offended by that? When did that start being an accusation and not a criticism? Did Donna Summer die when they said "disco is dead?" Did the article kill DHH? You're being deliberately obtuse.

Just as well with the dictionary entry. Well done. You got me. Wow. Nah man, saying that the word "fascist" is thrown around as an exaggeration is a thought-terminating cliché deployed in order to flatten the discourse.

You see, your dictionary definition obscures the reality that the pendulum of society is now swinging to the right, hard. He is explicitly aligning himself with a certain political philosophy which in 2025 is dominating the world. DHH isn't just saying some kooky shit, he is in a position of considerable power and visibility actively working to undermine the safety and opportunities of members of the community. It's cringeworthy seeing people standing in solidarity with an entitled idiot but not the marginalized people he hates.

All this is to say, I can't look at everything he's been saying and doing without seeing much of what Umberto Eco has identified as markers of fascism.

I dunno, I find him a far more compelling thinker than the people at Merriam-Webster, no shade intended.

It's not a dumb take. There is a clear definition of fascism which his recent reactionary writings and attitudes as a business leader have met to a T. You might not like what I'm saying, maybe you're fine with DHH on some "what I don't mind can't be possibly be fascist" level, but it absolutely meets that standard.

Other than that; stop putting words in my mouth and stop poisoning the well. You and the OP are strawmanning a claim that the article is written in bad faith and thus avoid engaging with its substance.

A "difference of opinion" which DHH has engineered over time to intimidate and drive out minorities away from the Ruby community. You should read it because the perspective _is_ valid; in fact, this "brain worms" framing is the author being charitable to DHH by pretending he had no responsibility over the fact he's a fascist.
