Well our insane Supreme Court ruled a few years ago on a case involving a football coach praying at games that schools are forced to allow religious employees to do their weird religious ceremony at school events.

I think a lot of it has to do with the loss of labor power among the tech workforce. For example Google employees used to cause a ruckus when execs sold to militaries, now everyone stays quiet because they're afraid to lose their jobs

Yes but the point is that nobody outside of super big tech has a need to optimize a few bytes here and there at the expense of atrocious devx.

Labeling all media that isn't rabid right wing partisan as "left wing" is unconvincing.

I do it as well. I'm sure it's a lot more common among HN's techie audience than the general population.

I wanted to see an em dash in the wild. In these threads there are always people claiming that they use it but in practice it is very rare.

There's a million ways. Just off the top of my head: unified calendars, contacts and messaging across Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, etc. The agent figures out which platform to go to and sends the message without you caring about

No, it's because big tech has taken control of our data and locked it all down so we don't have control over it. AI browser automation is going to blow open all these militarized containers that use our own data and networks again

The Bell Curve is a classic in racist science and it accelerated the destruction of america's greatness which was always that we are a land of immigrants.

> 0% interest rates for years You rail against people not acknowledging empirical economics yet you throw in this empirically false factoid. Inflation was historically low during about a decade of ZIRP.

pg somewhat backs off with the claim in a subsequent tweet "The fact that you can write x number of LOC in 12 hours doesn't imply that you work 12 hour days every day." The first tweet says "lines of code a day". h

Who cares what they said 100 years ago? The institutions have mostly served us well. The big lie is that they haven't.

The deeply unpopular destruction of government institutions in 6 months that were built over decades by hundreds of laws passed by thousands of elected representatives is not democracy. It is a billionaire coup, they're blowing up all

The Great MAGA Cultural Revolution has shifted the overton window enough among right wing elite that anti democracy propaganda is now strong and spreading. But it's still our foundation, "we the people" and all that. If the r

Which isn't even true, UCLA came down hard on protesters and they did violate the students 1st amendment rights.

You state politicians' accusations without due process as fact.

What about the hostile environment to the students who protested?

Propaganda directed straight from netanyahu. He ordered America to censor the students in public sperches and within days America inexplicably did it.

Scientism? You really don't want to talk about how this paper has controls for things you said that it didn't have controls for.

Besides, Israel sees themselves as having the right to bomb and invade their neighboring states at will. A Palestinian state would be Lebanon x 1000, never ending war and no respect for borders. The real problem is Europe and America's

Ok so you're obviously not a fan of scientists and are throwing out about a bunch of whatabouts, but the fact remains that in this paper they controlled for a bunch of confounders and your original comment said they didn't. I gues

Typical bogus HN comment on a science article. Without reading the paper you somehow assume you're smarter than the researchers and that they didn't control for different population factors.

What is your point? You can't suspect things without evidence or you'd never be able to leave your house afraid of everything.

I'm afraid programming is going to be frozen at 2020s tech for the foreseeable future. New frameworks, libraries and languages will suffer from a chicken and egg problem where no one uses them because LLMs don't know how to answer

That's capitalism in general, the moneyd get the cream of all crops while the rest of us fight for the scraps. The only respected virtue is unadulterated greed.
