Again: sourcing? An explanation of how the Chinese Communist Party is able to transfer money to middle of nowhere community activists like those mentioned in the article?

by afavour 2mo ago
Is there? Do you have sourcing? Who are the well funded actors spending big against data centers?

by afavour 2mo ago
No, it was as a comment about the Chinese government, not something inherent in the Chinese race

Some of the reaction to data center build outs has become irrational but frankly I see it as a reflection of the arrogance of the billionaire tech elite. Voters were told: - AI is going to take your jobs - We need to build our data centers

But WKWebView does handle its own networking. You’re able to implement block lists, just the same as you can via browser plugin, but in this instance networking definitely is handled by WebKit.

Which is why we need strong regulation. People shouldn’t be able to vote with their wallet when other peoples lives are at stake.

It’s odd how uninteresting a blog post about an AI system is. “We defined code review rules as if they were linter rules and let the AI agent review code” I don’t really need to know a lot more than that. I can already clearly imagine how i

Data is cheap and fast, CPU time still isn't. I've profiled numerous web sites on slow Android devices and they absolutely crawl when parsing JS and giant JSON blobs required to hydrate a page that's one big React app for no

You're showing your ignorance here. Different frameworks have different ways of working that can lead to better or worse performance on client devices, no matter what Fable spits out for you. You owe it to your users to care.

I think React is way overused but every time you see a blog post with "replace it with this pet mini project instead" I groan because you know the reaction is going to be "what about X feature", and of course the mini fr

Framework, not language. And framework choice still matters.

Surely the burden of proof here is proving that a 70% headcount reduction doesn’t make a difference.

In my experience, product. There’s a pervasive view that product is easy, that anyone working in it is a dunderhead who gets in the way of engineers doing the really worthwhile work. In reality, it would just mean they rewrite the softwar

Self driving maybe? I’m happy to be corrected but I think most brands don’t offer the full self driving package Tesla offers.

I despise Liquid Glass too but for most users there’s a broad feeling of “it fits” vs doesn’t. And apps with Liquid Glass fit today’s iOS.

No, I’m suggesting that .button.something-else wouldn’t make any sense. You’d just do button.something-else… not that it would really be that useful to do so. And as you say, it’s for semantics so I wouldn’t use .button anyway as it doesn’t

by afavour 2mo ago
It’s funny, as someone that’s been using CSS for decades I don’t really know how to respond because the scenario outlined here is not one I recognise. My button would be a <button>, so no, I wouldn’t have a .button class, it’s superfl

Honestly I tire of this debate. Both sides have good points have both choices are valid. I don’t particularly like Tailwind because I know and like CSS. It’s powerful, Tailwild stands in the way of me doing what I want with it. But in this

Google’s inane push to shove AI into every product is going to cause real harm here. I can’t even fathom what the legitimate use case for this would be.

Sports gambling in the UK has been legal for a long time. I remember as a kid the bookies (shops where you had to go to make a bet) weren’t allowed any exterior windows and all looked absolutely grim. It was an appropriate barrier to have t

I actually think the CONCACAF statement shows that they could be on board… they’re just mad they weren’t consulted. Give them the cut they want and they might change their tune. By comparison UEFA sounds a lot stronger.

An LLM isn't human. I don't really understand this thread of "humans do it so of course an AI does". These are things we ourselves are engineering in a way we cannot do with a human being. Why is it not reasonable to exp

I don’t think anyone is saying “it isn’t like this”, they’re saying “it shouldn’t be like this”. If I don’t give explicit permission to lie it shouldn’t lie. It’s not a difficult concept!
179.
by afavour 2mo ago
And really, it has to be. If we have a magic genie that can grant any wish but doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie we’re going to be in a lot of trouble.

by afavour 2mo ago
Destined to fail, yeah. Just not destined to lie. “Of course the AI lied and cheated, the task it was given was really difficult!” is not a world I want to live in.
