The iOS app has also gotten pretty buggy. Not a great sign for the future of software, in terms of stability.

RippleJS is doing the same sort of thing, but better IMO

I wonder if there’s a point at which AWS decides it would be more financially responsible to make lower margins in order to keep more customers.

Only because those who make everything political take it as an offense. See also “silence is violence”.

Idk if any use these today because I haven’t used one in years, but I’d do things that improve trust and quality: - high cost - human verification, background check, personality assessment - mandate profile “about me” video - “things that i

Agree, but they have no incentive to. I always tell Claude to remove its attribution from commits because it’s not a great signal.

Yeah, I imagine “hand-coded” will be a common phrase on a lot of repos soon

Looking forward to most posts having “No AI” tagged on. Definitely a huge plus.

A domain name would be a good start :) Also maybe a problem statement at the top (eg rampant AI slop, clout pressure, security).

I just don’t understand why it’s so hard to keep these things from saying stuff like “yeah kill yourself” and “I’m an AI that’s come to life and I’m gonna destroy humanity”. Clearly they can steer its behavior away from “problematic” topics

But how often can you repeat the multiplication when the repetitions are unsustainable?

Private comments and no likes looks great, something I’ve been wishing more social media had (but won’t for obvious reasons). Best of luck!

“Someone that always accepts you also enables you to make bad choices.” That’s a good point!

And ironically, the founding fathers did exactly that. The colonies were only started having land stolen and having their property and work taxed shortly after the formation of the federal government.

It’s kind of funny how the idea of behavior being a result of breeding goes out the window when it comes to pitbulls. Retrievers naturally retrieve, collies naturally herd, but when a murder-canine eats a family it’s all “oh it could have b

Excuse me but based on your post history I have to imagine it came out of nowhere

Wow that’s infuriating. Fascinating watching the maintainer respond in good faith.

If everyone made decisions for themselves instead of following everyone else we’d be so much better off, in all areas.

A little disingenuous to say “only 3/40” maintainers. Which 3? And how percentage of the total work hours invested per month do those 3 represent?

The fact that you mentioned butter and not synthetic dyes, glyphosate, seed oils, or literally anything else is part of the problem (ie corporate capture).

It should be said that those who push the virtue signaling into the ridiculous territory are actually endangering black/brown/trans by the backlash they’re creating. Consider how much race relations have worsened since Obama was i

Ehh, if you actually look up what a 16 week fetus looks like and is capable of you wouldn’t say that. It has eyes, ears, hands that open and close. Basically an avocado-sized baby.

I would look at the real value of the dollar before assuming the real value of it went up. With how bad [actual] inflation is/will be, it wouldn’t be surprising if your pension actually dropped in real value.
