You're fighting a losing battle advocating for public stewardship of anything on this website. The majority of people I've spoken with here are American, doing very well for themselves, and aspirational entrepreneurs. They have no

If you can't be bothered writing it, why should I be bothered reading it?

Agreed. I've had a lot of this kind of attitude lately on this community. Might dip.

Is your point that busses aren't profitable? Why do they need to be? I am sure if you did the math, having the occasional empty bus does not hold a candle to the amount of dead mass being dragged along in single-occupant cars. The wear

The promise of tech has been that if we let it rip, we'll have a better democracy and living conditions for all. That promise has failed to materialise, for a variety of reasons. There is increased surveillance, enshittification, huge

I can not imagine that the cost of busses can ever approach the cost of the equivalent amount of cars (for the same amount of passengers).

Not that you aren't correct, but Tahoe is a MacOS release, not iOS. I assume you mean iOS 18 (the version before iOS 26)?

Good message, but did you really need to use AI to write it? It could have been about half the length.

My question is why a sizeable portion of the American (and greater Western) public seemingly votes against their interests?

I'm not OP, but; shorting requires careful timing. Because the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, I don't short.

Honestly did not see the article, I apologise. The issue they are having is moderation, not technical costs. This is the same issue sites like Reddit have. In the article, they even mention that private social media sites use moderation cen

> 9.9/10 times it doesn't work I'll concede that it doesn't work out a lot of the time. This is not very different from for-profit websites. Also, your number of 9.9/10 is probably pulled out of your ass. I'

Easy. No corporate social media networks. Hobbyists run local light social networks (such as forums) again (like they do currently; see Mastodon, Lemmy), with super efficient SSR HTML that is cheap to host.

Is there any procedure to validate or at least allow users to report inaccurate content?

Why won't you respect your audience enough to write with your own voice?

Thanks. I know that there are things that can be done to bring down the compile speed of Rust, like splitting a project into sub crates. But I agree with the post that you linked. Game dev, especially UI and game mechanics benefits from a h

This is not my area, but what about Rust or Odin?

You just reminded me of Star Wars Roleplaying on Habbo Hotel when I was a preteen circa 2006. Habbo Hotel was basically an IRC and MUD with user-created hotel rooms. The Sith and Jedi orders were popular "rooms" in Habbo, and woul

I'm a fiction writer. The way you make AI better at writing prose is the same way you make a fiction writer better at writing prose... You edit it manually. That's it. There are no shortcuts to good prose, except perhaps paying a

I've been waiting for my lobste.rs invite for years. I joined the IRC for a few days, but being in Australia, rarely saw too much activity. I could chase someone down for an invite, but at that point I just don't care that much.

I'm just dipping my toes into AI. What prospective guardrails are being considered or used?

Just to piggyback onto this comment; has anyone tried running multiple of these in conjunction? For example, having a Python script that has one of these orchestrate others, and offloads certain tasks to better/more powerful models, or

For executives looking to impress? Not really. Being able to rattle off perspective on a book, curated by someone with very high media literacy would signal the same level of media literacy to their audience. An LLM may be able to synthesis

It only does this if you have the apps in multiple groups. Dump them all in one group. Yeah it sucks that you can't configure each of them separately, but it works really reliably now.

Look I love Rust and hate Typescript. But if NPM didn't exist, wouldn't the attackers just hit the next most popular supply chain? Cargo isn't immune to this, as much as I love Rust and wish more shops used it.

I can't wait to see what these companies will be willing to pay real humans to clean up the mess they will have made– if they survive.

Come to Australia. About two years ago there was so many Teslas. In the space of two years, I've seen twice as many BYDs. I can only imagine this will continue.
