"A retro"? Does this mean "a retrospective"? It's kinda ambiguous - why not type the extra characters?

Like many things (general purpose computing, the internet) we can carve out our own space once something is released into the public sphere so I don't think Capitalism has the iron grip on this that you're hypothesising. In recent

At this point I just want to restate my hypothesis that you haven't or aren't using it in good faith - or you haven't used it much at all.

Agreed. But it's important to counter the impression that many have that it's nearly unanimous.

It might seem hard to believe but there are a bunch of artists who also like AI. People whose artistic practice predates AI. The definition of "artist" is a quagmire which I won't get into but I am not stretching the definiti

In which case we should be reading an article about how important it is to correctly price externalities. And that is not this article.

Alternatively, you posted a 5 word question that was maddeningly vague and was almost destined to be misunderstood.

Thank you. I'm in the UK and I've never heard this before.

Slander (or more properly in this case "libel") involves saying things that aren't true. Is that actually happening here?

This article doesn't seem especially pernicious. The subject matter is newsworthy. The article has a position which you may or may not agree with but it's not unusual in that regard. It's probably slightly better in that re

You seem to be implying we can draw a conclusion from this data point?

Very short answers are often intended as offhand snark. Combined that with the fact that it seemed to me (and I assume many others) that the large differences between the Argentinian situation and the US one was incredibly obvious - I was d

That's why I tend to say "REST-ish" because there is a difference between those and things like GraphQL or RPC style APIs which can also use HTTP.

Unless you're not looking very hard I presume you're making a polemic point here. i.e. it's not a good faith response to the person you're replying to. They are obviously saying "the differences are significant enou

OK. Unflagged. So this is about web APIs? I dislike that the broad term "API" has started to be used as shorthand for "HTTP API" (and probably REST-ish HTTP APIs specifically). It wastes people's time trying to figu

In which case the post title is misleading and should be edited. I'm flagging this.

> users, at this point, don't care much about? What makes you think this is true?

I think many people will disagree with you on this. (and just to clarify - automated/manual is not a binary choice)

Or - do the best job you can with whatever tools you think will help and sleep better at night.

I wonder how many people with strong opinions commenting here have read any of the classic books and blog posts on this topic? There seems to be a lot rehashing of debates that I always regarded as mostly settled.

For some definitions of "advanced". I use dozens of apps regularly enough to not be a beginner but not so much that I know their keyboard shortcuts. Icons have a role.

At least it creates a situation where any vendor that does offer "true" purchases will stand out. There's a chance for disruption here.

it so nearly runs on a Quest 3. The next gen of mobile XR chipsets (or maybe even the current gen with less thermal throttling) are going to be able to handle these kinds of scenes with a bit more optimization.

The word "any" is doing a lot of work here.

I've never seen passthrough lag of any significance. It has on very rare occusations frozen, however. (I can only recall a single incident of that in 5 years)

Marvel's quality is varied and has dipped in the last couple of years. It's not high art by any means but I find calling it "drivel" in such a dismissive way to be a shallow take.

I mainly see a ton of likely Chesterton's Fences. Or unintended 2nd order effects. Who knows if the final outcome will be an improvement but it resembles fixing a TV by dropping it from a height and hoping.
