I just don't understand how the multi-billion dollar industries (who employ hordes of people whose entire careers are spent researching how to best influence the average person) keep winning!

Only for non-erasable Typescript! The support for running erasable TS is here to stay. It's not ideal, but on the other hand this is paving the way for the TC39 proposal - if that ever progresses...

Huh, I was going to mention Node's `--experimental-transform-types`, but that was completely removed in v26: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61803

What does it mean to solve?

How did the US solve this issue during every election until now?

You're omitting fundamental differences between these systems, for example that Germans are required by law to own a government ID, so only a tiny fraction of the population has to use this process. As far as I have seen this appears

Computers can execute multiple different programs at the same time, so users are able to run a media player while their main focus is on a different window, tile, monitor or whatever else. Given that 8GB machines are still widely in use (

> SKG wants games to be "playable" and doesn't define what playable is. Which is completely fine since they're not a legislative body. Instead of settling on a hard line, they're leaving this part open to be defi

This ignores that physical things can happen in many different ways, most of which are decided by those who have the money. The choices of the rich aren't preordained, so there's no reason to absolve them of the responsibility for

The most obvious recent example is the right to receive lifesaving medical treatment. It's no coincidence that between 2019 and 2023, there was "a 33% increase in maternal mortality rates in Texas, compared with a decrease of 7.5%

I should add: this is enabled by adding `enableGlobalCache: false` to .yarnrc.yml, though I think it was the default for a bit when Yarn 2 first released.

Though I mostly use pnpm these days, yarn still has a feature that I frequently miss: the project-local cache[0]. Basically, every dependency archive fetched from a registry is stored in your repo in .yarn/cache, so unless you'r

No, I'm understanding you perfectly well.

As someone stumbling across this thread: the idea that, in regards to bias, a real person might actually consider these two events in any way comparable is honestly leaving me stunned. I can't find the right words to describe how sicke

Don't forgot the cost of worse products. If you're an honest company trying to build the best product, and your competitors choose to milk their customers instead, they can still win more market share by spending more on advertisi

You're assuming they'd prefer to control more people, but what if they prefer having more control over less people?

Sure, but including more groups of exploited workers wouldn't have made the author's point more nuanced. And ironically, throwing around baseless accusations (like "you just ordered DoorDash" and "if you actually ca

I disagree with multiple of your responses, but I'd like to push back on this point in particular: > Yes - and you just ordered DoorDash, which delivered food made by exploited workers and delivered by exploited workers. In fact, al

While that's most likely true, it rests on the assumption that consumer hardware stays affordable enough, and isn't locked down to disallow running "untrusted" models. I would have never believed that these assumptions c

Mind sharing a video of what you're talking about? I've heard this response many times since the inauguration, but I've never seen an actual video showing a comparable gesture.

I'm not sure what kind of answer you expect here. Your initial objection further up was: > By the time the "free" electricity has paid for the installation, you'll need to replace it. Since you won't need to re

Yes, I just wanted to preempt any responses arguing that it might be lower than that.

Just like all markets, the labor market isn't an immutable natural structure. It is actively shaped by the laws and regulations of the market's respective physical location. There are too many specific examples to count, but a few

1. Not everyone is spending all their "spending money" every month, and 2. more free time allows people to get more value for their money (e.g. by comparing more alternative options).

This might be fair if the rules of the market were static, but companies are actively using their power and influence to affect the market rules so they can get away with paying workers less and less - that's not to mention collusion a

Unfortunately, this video isn't as apolitical as you are saying. I happened to watch this response recently, IMO it's very well argued: https://youtu.be/UjmsfOXy5oM

I'd argue that it's directly related. If intuitive use of a library/framework/pattern commonly causes issues, you have to keep forcing yourself to do use non-intuitive approaches to prevent them. GOTO is also pretty intu

Because better alignment with user interests would hurt the companies own interests. Their goal is to maximize profits, so even if they have multiple models available, they would choose the one predicted to maximize profits generated by you
