- binary132yeah, very surprising
- correct opinion
- Nice one! I love the Our Lady of Lourdes patterns.
- It seems simple enough to offer the user a button to activate the feature when they want it to run. If it has to be “given” to the user without activation, maybe it’s not as desirable as they are pretending it is. Maybe users just want a web browser for web browsing.
- I’ve been using librewolf for a while and it’s fine. Hopefully ladybird gets there eventually.
- Why isn’t the framing “the user may choose to turn it ON”? Just chew on that.
- the problem is your framing of the problem, not the questions you posed. it seems to me like you’re assuming that the only metrics for risk and reward are profit and cost. let me put it this way: do you find there to be any intrinsic value to the invention of antibiotics, or is such a development only worth the money that it can make for its inventor / discoverer? do you think that the cost of developing such technologies is worth it even if it does not gain any material income?
Let’s also imagine the other side of the equation. Can you not imagine any penalty or cost other than bankruptcy? Let’s say you are forced to allocate $1 million per year to research. is the only cost function you can imagine based on the risk of default?
- (but enough about LLM shills)
- you should probably think about the fact that ad platforms expect and design for fraudulent and bot clicks before you assume that this actually costs anyone money.
- thieving and scamming are not caused by the existence of scarcity
- I’m the farthest thing from a communist, but what makes you think public funding cannot be given to drug research?
- we badly need AI-free spaces
- There is no hint of irony in the linked posts.
- It’s extremely convenient for certain things. For example, let’s say I’m referring to an enum constant field of a deeply-nested type. This can easily be expressed as “auto k = a.b.c.d.kind” instead of “Alpha::Bet::Charlie::Delta::Kinds k = a.b.c.d.kind”. It should be used sparingly in local contexts where the meaning cannot be confusing.
- And so quotable…
- I’ve started thinking of concatenative languages as “backwards lisps” in my head and so far it seems like a reasonable take.
- “Not have a TV at all” is a perfectly reasonable choice many people are making now.
- It’s actually comical watching the AI shills trot out the same points in every argument about the utility of LLMs. Now you’re supposed to say that after 10 years of digital, the only people sticking with film were the “curmudgeons”.
I for one hail the curmudgeons. Uphold curmudgeon thought.
- So much wasted time debating whether the 1000 lines of generated code are actually necessary when the actual transform in question is 3 of them. “But it works”, goes the refrain.
- if you honestly cannot comprehend why people might legitimately consider the use of cannabis to be a social ill (for reasons other than “they only think people should pray all the time”), you might want to stop using it for a while and reevaluate some things
