Stack Overflow is dead because of AI. Devs can get quicker answers with less hassle with AI. Without AI there is no other option for amateur devs to get answers, so Stack Overflow would otherwise still be used. This isn't difficult

I think Stack Overflow went dead because of AI specifically. The issues you mention just made that transition easier for people. Before AI, people had no choice but to suffer the toxic mods at Stack Overflow. Reddit isn't comparable,

It isn't always pragmatic to account for the 5% of people who misinterpret what is being said or who aren't able to contextualize because they are stupid. We've all misinterpreted obvious things before. It isn't that b

Having gone through electrical engineering, I always felt that Big O notation was never properly explained unless I happened to miss every time it was introduced. It always felt like it was just hand waived as something we should already k

400km in 9 months seems pretty quick for a lobster as they mention they don't typically travel in straight lines. I wonder if they are helped by any currents at the bottom of the sea.

They are taking an awkward route towards universal healthcare. I don't think their system is set up to handle these cases and I expect push back from the private system. My guess is he doesn't really care about their welfare, he

The argument "why do you care about your privacy if you have nothing to hide" needs to be addressed. The problem with this argument is you don't decide what you need to hide or not, the authorities do, and we all know author

How do you prune the ecosystem without having to do any real work? Just filter out apps that aren't updated in a specific time frame. I suppose they expect you to update the app even if it doesn't need it to prove it hasn't

You can't reward failure in competition. You will get people purposely going slower to get the middle lanes. What they could swim in a pool in which they aren't using the outer lanes, so bigger pools, or less swimmers.

I don't think the article was about "quantum effects" but specifically "quantum entanglement" which I'd guess transistors in CPUs cannot do.
