In my experience the speed gains are real (kind of) but not in a "the AI writes code" kind of way, more of a "the AI is Google on steroids that can reference the docs very quickly". I've found it saves me a ton of

Fair. When I'm in Canada I do see enough big trucks and SUVs though, versus Paris or Prague (the two places in Europe where I regularly visit/live) where the number is basically zero.

Dunno, I didn't judge before having a kid. After having a kid, it's 100x easier than people made it out to be and it's hard not to judge.

You're not forced to use Gnome. The Gnome devs have the freedom to decide they don't want to spend their own time maintaining an X11 version.

You're being intentionally obtuse, shifting the goal posts. It doesn't matter what you claim to think the left is, the left absolutely is the establishment. And if you think there's no authoritarian wing of the left you&#x2

Dunno if I'd call the people whining about Wayland hackers. More like freeloaders. Hackers make stuff. Also there's nothing about Linux or hacking culture that would be necessarily left or right wing. Maybe somewhat anti establ

The anti Wayland sentiment is tiring. Honestly all the hating on technology is tiring. Don't like something? Use the thing you like. Or make a thing you like. As for the claim in the title, it's false, it's absurd, and th

Yes. GDP per capita is data and a well known proxy for quality of life. For example, declining productivity (which is what GDP per capita is) means a worse house price/income ratio, ie. worse affordability.

Of course they're trying to capture existing tech stacks. The models themselves are plateauing (most advancement is coming from the non-LLM parts of the software), they took too much VC money so they need to make some of it back. So

Regulation is just regulatory capture by incumbents and also a national security risk.
