"identity politics" is such a lame way of saying "having a conscience".

Do you read it on your phone? This website's (lack of a) mobile design makes it really hard to read. If I don't use my mobile app of choice (Harmonic), I have to zoom in really close and scroll all over the place. It's really

We can only hope she wins her GitHub rate limit appeal soon. This was hilarious. I didn't know that I needed AI slop satire in my life.

No offense, but this sentiment is diluted by commits like this: https://github.com/nfcampos/loop-dev/commit/e28b1fce0078e605... I assume that GP was just saying that they would prefer to read these thoughts w

I think it's insane to suggest that software developers should ever get to the point where they don't even comprehend their code. Before someone else says it, no I don't read the assembly code that is produced by my compilers

Yes, exactly! Now, it's all built into the platform. The first WAI-ARIA specification was published in 2014 [0]. HTML5 became an official W3C recommendation that same year [1]. It includes semantic elements like <nav> and <mai

This is one of the reasons why web technology is so popular and persistent. You get almost all of that for free as long as you use semantic HTML.

They think that AI is so perfect and wonderful that they didn't even do a "find the security bugs" prompt on their crummy vibe coded website.

I think we're doing just fine considering how they have all the resources and every possible advantage, but we're still seeing headlines like this.

The only one that's not entirely true is the water usage concern. The vast amount of water usage is non-consumptive, and you can even use reclaimed wastewater. To be clear, I'm on your side-- I just want to make sure that we don&#

You think this is the media's fault? The media didn't force Altman and Amodei to tell everyone they were about to lose their jobs. The media didn't force Microsoft and Google to push half-cocked AI features into all of their

Fair enough. Thank you for sating my curiosity. I'm not quite as optimistic as you, but I'm excited at the potential to be proven wrong. :)

Are you ever reading the code? What do you do when the LLM can't fix a bug? Do you not wish you had a more intimate first-hand knowledge of the code when fixing things yourself? Please don't tell me that never happens-- I've

How would you detect the presence of bugs in this scenario? How would you make sure the LLM isn't adding yet another useless, redundant function to the code base? Even if there isn't a bug in this PR, do you not want to be familia

Literally, every single person I know is against the Iran War except for two. They're also the only Trump supporters left in my social circle. The cult of personality is getting pretty sad.

> Yes, it finished. It changed chart.py and styles.css. Do you want me to tell you what specific changes it made to the files?" A verbal diff sounds practically useless. Does it first read out the entire left-hand base, and then rea

The Qataris didn't force us to do stupid shit like invade Iraq and Afghanistan. Our feckless leaders did that. It's nice that you've invented this excuse for our terrible leadership, but it doesn't actually explain away

You're confused about the etymology. Homo Sapiens was coined in the 1800s. People have been saying "sapient" since the 1300s, and it is rooted from the Latin word "sapientem" which simply means "sensible; shrew

Why do you think that parrots do not have sapience? How would one even measure such a thing?

First Astro, now this? Cloudflare is getting all the good JS talent. The monetization story never really made sense to me. It seems really hard to carve out a space in the managed hosting world. Are the Vercel and Laravel teams the only one

I don't use the native apps. They are bloated, disgusting messes. I just messed around with old.reddit and compared it to new reddit for around thirty minutes. I noticed no performance differences, and I noticed no discrepancy in comme

I agree, and I previously used a 3rd party app myself (Reddit Is Fun). The sad thing is that I actually completely understand why they shut down the free API access. The AI bot scrapers are absurdly aggressive, and bandwidth isn't free

I prefer the new design because the text is readable on my phone, and it has a native dark mode. I don't see any of the ads because I use an ad blocker. Also, I have no idea what you mean about the comments thing. I can immediately see

A piece of paper signed by your boss isn't the same as a real warrant signed by a judge. No real lawyer will ever tell you that an "administrative warrant" is a real thing that lets jackbooted thugs enter your home and detain

No, the people who can't afford their insurance wouldn't be able to work as policemen. Ideally, they would also eventually lose a license of some sort-- just like the doctors who commit malpractice. We are already paying increased
