Faster I get. But easier to use?

I’m amazed folks ever migrated to it at a workplace level TBH. It’s a VC funded runtime, something was always going to happen to it. Node is boring but its governance and ownership is clear.

TS is JS just with stuff on top so it can’t really ever kill JS. The way Node does it is to just ignore the type notations in a TS file, making it valid JS. Does mean you can’t use things like enums but worth the price.

Looks awful and costs way too much. This feels like it should be a prototype from a university lab, not a consumer product from a social network. I can only hope there is amazing work being done with this kind of tech in industries I know l

…yes? Here I am reacting to a direct quote from the studio, not the article itself.

Simple answer is that these execs live in a big bubble and goad each other into bigger and bigger investments via groupthink.

I don’t claim responsibility for any of that. I’m not part of that “we”. Time and time again I’ve been sceptical of AI on places like Hacker News and I’m hardly alone. As a community I think there is a great variation in opinion. CEOs are v

Perhaps, but that isn’t what users want. Coming up with a new model for social media and also dictating what features are good and bad for users is going make user adoption a tough challenge.

Features aside, it was making considerably more money before Musk’s cull.

by afavour 4mo ago
That has nothing to do with culling staff at Twitter though.
343.
by afavour 4mo ago
Eh, what has X/Twitter delivered since the cull? It’s basically in maintenance mode. Which is fine if that’s what you want to do, but Google and Apple definitely don’t (and I’m glad for that)

This is exactly why I clarified with "as a user". I just checked and yes, I follow someone that's on Eurosky. Maybe I follow multiple, I honestly don't know because it isn't at all noticeable . It just works.

atproto is also open source and in my experience (solely as a user rather than a developer on the API/network) it simply works better than Mastodon.

Cool to see a demo in there that you can run in a browser, presumably compiled to WebAssembly. The kind of thing that was unimaginable years ago.

For a lot of artists they’re paid a rounding error. The core question is whether they’re paid enough to make a living from and the answer is no.

Is caching not the primary reason to use this over POST? You should never want to cache POST requests.

I don’t really want to defend Hallmark too much but I’d argue they provide a means of low effort personalisation. You choose a design that reflects you and your relationship to the recipient. You write a personal message inside (hopefully).

I wouldn’t over index in the artist side of things. A lot of people don’t really think about that at all, just look at how readily Spotify was adopted despite taking a ton of money away from artists. But “AI is coming for your job” is ver

Yeah I think the author needs a dose of reality about how many users do anything on a site. Something that 1 in 476 visitors do isn't that bad. Especially when there's no real ongoing cost to doing so.

> So SpaceX is buying 15 years of future cashflows, assuming no change in revenue. Which is bad assumption given past growth was gigantic. I'd argue it's a bad assumption in the opposite direction. There's no moat. People

It powers the content that makes up a lot of the time a lot of internet users spend their time watching. I don’t think the pedantry serves a purpose.

It doesn’t? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. This is not a database of banned books. It is an example showing how you can make a database of banned books of your own.

It’s the invisible engine of what makes up the majority of today’s internet. I don’t think that’s hyperbole. Tomorrows internet might not be the same.

I think that undersells Bellard. The engineers that made NVidia’s chips made a trade: they give their achievements and potential public recognition to their employer in return for generous compensation. Bellard’s work is overwhelmingly free

As it stands it is a great example for others to learn from. If you include copyrighted books it’ll get pulled from GitHub and no one will learn from it.

The fate of many nerdy interests: you want it to become popular and widespread. Then it does, and you realise you've lost control of it and it becomes commoditised. So went comic books, goes tech.
