But what if they update the webpage to something completely different from what you bookmarked? Wouldn't you like to have access to the most up-to-date version always? /s

I don't understand what you mean. The examples come from the article.

You need AI for this? Go to Pinterest, search "poster", find some cool ideas, steal it and do it in Inkscape in 30 minutes. Has the world gone crazy?

If they were the same thing nobody would complain about it, would they?

I find it so weird that people use AI to write things. Writing is one of the easiest things you can do. Just put one word after the other.

In the example of Rust: items.iter().enumerate().filter(|(_, i)| cond(i)).map(|(idx, i)| Pointer::idx(i, path, idx)).collect() vs. Zig: while (i < cursors.len) { if (actual_index < arr.items.len) { cursors[i] =

What confuses me is that for a long while we told people to not write their passwords on a sticky note, to not write them in plain text somewhere. Then we introduce all these "security" mechanisms that make it literally impossible

That's because those AI's were trained on existing "CSS tricks." If people stop writing new CSS tricks, they will never make it into any dataset, and it won't matter if the AI can search the internet or not, because

That's a problem for whoever gets in charge of solving spam to solve. Not me.

I've never hoped for that. The opposite of the government owning the internet is cloudflare owning the internet.

The solution is probably legal, not technological. We need a legal solution to automated spam, AI or not. It does tangible damage to communication systems when 99/100 of your e-mails doesn't come from a human being.

This is for WASM, but you can also do it to use a Qt frontend via Python's PySide6 with a Rust backend, avoiding the need of Rust bindings for Qt.

People have a right to privacy. People should value that more, before it's all gone.

I'm not a heavy AI user but there are a couple of things I noticed trying to make copilot generate something for me from scratch. The first is that having a single file with everything you have in mind is very useful. So I end up writi

I don't think I have ever seen someone outside of tech saying this. It's always people working with the data-copying machines, never the people creating the data protected by the law, that want said laws gone.

LOL. I wish people could make good software that easy!

I don't know about recent versions, but I managed to install 18 on Linux Mint. Making it run wasn't easy, and it can't decode MP3 and some video codecs because of licensing issues. It also can't decode WebM. This is kind

Kind of ridiculous, isn't it? Personally I think recommendation algorithms should be more powerful, customizable, and transparent. Currently they just make too many assumptions about the user without providing mechanisms to directly as

The first step is to actually make a better platform. The problem with all the decentralized alternatives is that they sacrifice usability for decentralization and then almost nobody cares about decentralization so for most people it's

You are conflating extremely different things, and that is dangerous. Somehow we went from: 1. People can see and hear your in public 2. Therefore public places are not private 3. Therefore people can record you 4. Therefore it's okay

This is a reach. Children can't vote. If that was a real concern you would be banning adults from social media.

The conclusion is wrong. The point of using these media queries is that: 1) You can only use tiny buttons with precise pointers. 2) You can only use hover popups with pointers that can actually hover. In practice, much of this is too much w

When I was in school we were taught the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. I haven't heard about Reduce and Reuse since.

Same. What I find pretty incredible is that we've had single core scheduling, then multi-core CPUs, page files, etc., all that stuff as computers progressed through the decades, just for a single app freezing the entire system in 2026.
