We're hearing one side of the story here, so who knows, but looking at it from Unity's perspective... Unity doesn't want to have be the "cops" and "prosecutors" who have to go around to find, investigate,

I guess I don't know what your point is. I thought when you called it a "tricky one" you were expressing that it might be a bad thing if it were difficult to convict someone based primarily on audit logs. But if you don&#x2

I assume they mean they updated their dependencies to the latest. That's somewhat valid. The trap is this: you have a strong need to update a dependency for a bug fix (particularly security fixes), but the update isn't compatible.

I'm thinking that, at this point, the argument about whether htmx is a library or framework is distracting from, rather than clarifying, the real question, which is whether htmx is a good/useful abstraction for web app development

I think what a lot of people who don't do software development don't understand is that the majority of software is developed like this: - Weeks, months, or years of being incomplete and full of bugs. Gaps are filled and bugs fixe

How do you know the LLM is going to do what you confirmed? There's a fundamental tension here: either you limit the LLM to a set of fixed actions that a user can individually understand and confirm. Or you let it figure out what to do

I'm not sure people want an LLM assistant that can actually do things like spend their money. A minor convenience when it works well. A major inconvenience when it doesn't. (And it doesn't take a lot of imagination to come up

Pretty interesting once you read past the marketing push. I mostly like the approach, but there are a lot of questions/issues that spring to mind (not that some of them don't already have answers, but I didn't read everything

> not having any benefits Actually, building on stable abstraction is a pretty nice benefit when your focus is on the product. Swift is quite nice, IMO, but has also changed quite a bit since 2015 and using it would likely have lead to a

It seems so obviously bad to have to write your CSS and HTML in javascript. I don't get why people keep coming back to it. I mean, I get that the point is to add something that plain CSS and HTML don't do on their own, but it seem

Or maybe customer service chatbots overwhelmingly suck. Here's a question for you: what problem do you think customer service chat bots are used to solve?
886.
by jmull 3y ago
I'd be pretty suspicious of the source of the information that customers love it. I suspect you are being told what you want to hear, not what's true.

Suspending civil rights because there are bad guys in the world is pretty much the same as saying there aren't real civil rights. They can be stripped if you do something the government doesn't like or associate with people the go

It seems to me that it was Twitter that got political. That leaves everyone using it with no non-political options -- there are political implications whether you stay or go. Leaving it now (when a bunch of others are going too and the fron

If you're concerned about it, TFA and linked materials go into the potential casual connection. I don't think you can simply dismiss this without a critical examination because all the facts aren't in yet and the story isn&#x

Seems like an awful lot of complexity and significant compromises just to get to use C# instead of TS or JS. I wonder what the practical scalability difference there is between streaming updates over a web-socket connection and streaming up

chatgpt was under provisioned relative to demand, but demand was unprecedented, so it's not really fair to criticize much on that. (It would have been a much bigger blunder to, say, build out 10x the capacity before launch, without kno

Your response doesn’t address the content of the thread coherently. What else can I say? We need to actually be talking about the same things to have a discussion.

I don't think you're following the thread correctly. I guess re-read it, if you want to understand what is being said (probably a waste of time though).

First, just an aside: you don't have to hate anyone. It doesn't make you a bad person to hate others, but you could be living better, that's for sure. The thing is, it usually mainly impacts the hater, making them unhappy and

If you socially exclude someone because they care about the color of text message bubbles, don't you care at least as much as they do? More, probably, because if they just mention it and you block them, that's disproportionate.
