Yea exactly. The article says there's too much noise to make any conclusion. You made a conclusion that there was a strong signal. Those things are opposites.

What is output quality without correctness? That seems like a distinction without a difference. Is the claim that LLMs produce Go code that is superficially nice looking but in fact fail to solve the stated problem? Because that's an a

No we don't know this. And in fact you can listen to the Accidental Tech Podcast at length to hear him thinking through the current design at length.

Someone who understands that you can't measure progress with a single variable. Look at food prices 50 years ago. They were astronomical compared to today. Expensive mortgages are an investment, you're literally paying back the lo

That's you being mislead by propaganda I'm pretty sure. The middle class could afford SOME things like houses easier yes. But then their cost of food for example way WAY higher. All in all, prices of cars have falled dramatically,

Every time we try to fix anything fundamental, we end up with revolutions that make everything much worse and sometimes just get stuck in their new dystopia. Meanwhile incrementalist economies+democracies are racing ahead quite well.

You should be saying that at your job imo.

Isn't this just a case of euphemism treadmill? The Culture and Star Trek are clearly utopian visions of the future and also fits this protoian definition 100%. There is no difference, except that some people think, incorrectly, that yo

I usually go around saying to anyone who will listen "incentives are dangerous". Like... you can't avoid them as people are sneaky bastards and will find what the incentives are even if you didn't design any on purpose,

What do you mean it trades cascade complexity? The cascade complexity in CSS itself, tailwind can't turn that off, you always have that.

That was always what the DK effect was about.

Projects with a single gigantic CSS file also work and you can onboard people etc. That's not an argument.

And if you scroll down you get a popup to ask for your email for their newsletter. The irony of an article about enshittification on a site that is clearly enshittified is strong.

That seems like another way to lie with silly stats though. If 3% of the least populated areas of all the subdivisions of the US the size of Switzerland were not connected, then that would indeed be just as irrelevant.

The ad revenue is a drop in the bucket compared to the app store rent, which is a drop in the bucket compared to hardware sales.

Many people think it shouldn't be and that any interference in the germ line like this is eugenics and by association evil.

Universal screening is not the same as focused screening for a family with a known issue and then screening gametes for IVF though. I think it's the last part that some people scream "eugenics!" at and draw parallels to the n

The negative comments against genetic screening here seems to be 100% from people who either have no serious genetic diseases lurking in their family tree or are lying to themselves and pretending they don't.

Deafness is a huge handicap, in many ways significantly worse than blindness. That the victims of this horrible ailment start to self identify with it isn't a reason to subject new humans to it.
