Anecdata here but I'm a landlord in an area with low 10s of thousands of residents and low 100s of rental units. I absolutely do not care about new housing being built, other than encouraging it because economic development of the town

A pattern I have seen repeatedly for the last year is people who assert this, then have a problem and come to me/people like me for help, only to find that the basic research they did was complete garbage. AI is very, very good at spit

But the "research" you're getting from the AI is also low-quality content. And particularly susceptible to the X-Y problem because unless you're already learned in a subject you won't even know how to craft the prom

It wasn't obvious from the project outset that everyone would hate it, no matter how well designed it is?

I'm also an espresso snob and got the complete opposite take. The idea of decoupling grind size and brew time from yield is super interesting. The only other device I'm aware of that does this is a pressurized portafilter basket b

At what level do you think a business stops experiencing market forces and starts dictating them, to the detriment of competition, consumers, and employees? Because I don't think you can build a billion dollar home construction empire

Forensics is the art of manufacturing evidence to convict people. Ok that's a bit aggressive, but it's important to understand the limits of forensic science, the broken incentives, and systemic lack of rigor in the application of

The main beef is the noise created around these disclosures instead of sending patches to fix the bugs.

One dude running an X account is not indicative of a community to be honest. That said, that dude has a point. "Researchers" chasing clout with their names attached to CVEs is kind of ridiculous. Half these CVEs are missing bounds

Hardware and software have to interface at some point. When the people designing the hardware work at the company designing the software it's not unreasonable for them to come to some shared understanding of that interface which may no

I don't think it's unreasonable for a device manufacturer to tightly couple it to the software they design to run on it.

Anthropic has pretty consistently been shitty about how they roll out their software. Extreme lack of engineering rigor and thoughtfulness. The answer is probably as simple as "no one thought not to do that." --- I know different

You can also pick "none of the above." These things don't need to exist. Not all market demand needs to be met.

Global freedom of movement was an inalienable right until European colonial powers noticed some of their colonies' peoples wanted to move to Europe. Large scale global movement is indicative of failure to uplift the globe from violence

I'm not interested in hypotheticals. In AAA games that you have worked on, concretely what 3rd party code did your servers rely on that would prevent you from distributing either the server itself or sufficient description of the serve

I guess what surprises me here is how much of this is 3p code that couldn't possibly be distributed. Like why would you not be using an open source web server, or widely available message broker? Things like chat moderation/match

So this might be controversial and I'm unable to phrase it better, but you can't always engage in good faith to address claims when the claimant themselves are incapable of engaging in good faith to make them. I could be convinced
