These data centers need to be responsible for their own water (not other people's drinking water) and pay for or provide their own electricity (not force increases in other people's bills). If they want "hand outs" and &

Exactly! Often, it's that TIOBE doesn't count, if their favorite language is not doing well or goes down in the rankings. Then, if their language moves up in the rankings, it is time to shout from the rooftops to tell everyone to

The funny or strange thing about people claiming Object Pascal is dead, is they have been doing so for at least the last 20 years. It got so crazy and reckless, that people were claiming the actor, Pedro Pascal, was dead too. Yet, despite a

I find it odd, that things are implemented in a continual surveillance state kind of way. It should be that an alarm goes off when people approach or pass the store exits with unpaid for items and then their face pic is taken too, while hop

Apparently, other people's quality of life and health are of little to no concern in comparison to company profits, after they've paid off the correct politicians. After all, the executives of the company (the important people) kn

The thing about the public instances, is now you often have to go through a lot of them to verify they work properly. SearXNG needs better quality control. Often have to go through the preferences to deselect search engines that don't

Sounds like you are describing Grokipedia (Grok), where the general public has rejected it as a replacement for Wikipedia. Way too much hallucinating, tainted algorithms reflecting political preferences, gossip, and unverified or disreputab

Agree. That's what some people seem to not understand or overlook.

Nowhere, that I could find, was katamari's post about Wikipedia's rejection of Odin or the one by Ginger Bill (which katamari references), were either was saying that vlang was fraudulent (which is ridiculous disinformation). Rath

You might be right, SpaceX and xAI are merged. Starlink users better read the policy documents very carefully.

If you look on the Gleam's article talk and GearsDatapacks userpage, it gives information on that person's conflict of interest. Wikipedia has various complex rules surrounding this, though this person is very clearly a core gleam

That sounds like EverybodyWiki[1]. By the way, a number of programming languages have pages. Odin, Vlang, Zig, C3, etc... Surprised that fans have not put more lesser known or their favorites on it. Jai, for example. [1]: https:/&#x2F

Exactly. Because a person hangs out in certain social media circles or bubbles, doesn't mean that information from those places are general public knowledge or meets the standards that Wikipedia asks for.

You never hearing about Odin, is an example of why its article was rejected by Wikipedia, because they failed at providing reputable references. The languages that you likely know of, often are corporate backed, with large marketing budgets

This type of odd vitriol against vlang, when the language has nothing to do with Wikipedia's processes, is both misplaced and demonstrates succumbing to excessive fanaticism from competitor propaganda. The origins of this strange senti

Well, if you think money in politics or corporations buying politicians is bad now, it is going to get exponentially worse in the USA. The Supreme Court recently gave a decision that allows the rich oligarchy to give unlimited amounts of mo

But, there is something uncouth going on at HN too. Attempts to submit articles for competing programming languages to HN often get removed. Doesn't matter the source either. Could be MSN, Medium, YouTube, whatever... Those other compe

The problem is that the usage of Android should not be at the expense of users and developers rights to choose, freedom, or privacy. With that line crossed, Android becomes an unattractive option. With an increase in mobile Linux (e.g. Mobi

The way out is for people to support the various Linux phones. These Linux distros need to support and push Android compatibility, so that people can load F-Droid, Aurora, and Obtainium on them and get most of the Android apps they want. Th

Submissions (from 3rd party sources) on Dlang, Vlang, or other language will "magically disappear", but posts on Zig that come straight from the source are fully HN approved and constantly churned out (almost daily) as if from a m

There is also a problem with making a distinction between machines or programs becoming sentient versus human-like consciousness, both of which are highly unlikely for LLMs. Without human-like bodies, it is even more doubtful that human-lik

That and the continual pushing of Zig and Rust to ridiculous levels, like HN had investments in them or were getting payouts, and as if few to no other programming languages exist.

But that's the point, circumvent democracy, to set the stage for techno-fascism. The citizen has no rights which the state is bound to respect.
