My point isn't that they're dinosaurs, it's that they don't really develop robots. Some automakers do, rarely, but they mostly buy them from specialized robotics companies. It's not knowledge-gathering to buy a sa

I don't need robotics experience, I need automaker experience. Their software is universally terrible. Ford isn't a tech company, they don't even make their own robots. They buy them from someone else. What... positive experi

Yeah, my point is that they're all unrelated choices.

Pretty different tasks, environments, outcomes, metrics, goals, and other things in a warehouse vs. a factory… really have no clue how this is supposed to be relevant. Why not mention farms or libraries?

“One of the largest automakers in the world” makes me think of very low-tech companies like Ford or whatever. I can’t imagine this would bring much actual experience with this new generation of robotics.

The only other dried fruit I see people eat regularly is cranberries, and those really can’t be eaten fresh. I think it’s just that most people don’t like dried fruit and this is their only exposure. It’s definitely one of the most sickenin

Magic is explicitly something outside the realm of possibility, but I get what you’re saying.

This is such a weirdly misanthropic view of humanity. Why are people so desperate to find evil in this world when ignorance is not only nicer to believe, it’s insanely more accurate? Like I get it, you’re depressed, but this doesn’t automat

Yes, I’m certain you can “manage it” despite not considering things like screen readers, page layout reversals, mobile responsiveness, working with legacy codebases that are 30 years old (when was the last time YOU had to update a site that

If we were talking about JS or Python or something, I’d agree with you. Most people just don’t have expert-tier knowledge of pure HTML, and even if they do, they’re slower to develop. I could get a feature out today to 99.9% of my desperate

Like 99.998% of software problems are due to incompetence. What’s your point? That government software is somehow immune to this problem or something? You seem to agree with me, but refuse to admit it because you wish the world was differen

Right, and I’m positing that you don’t need to support 20 year old devices that receive zero updates because everyone has access to libraries in an absolute last resort. There are limited resources when developing software. This is a pretty

I guarantee libraries do not have the shiniest new devices. So trying so hard to be offended.

“Go to a public library” is elitist? I am on my hands and knees begging you to reconsider this position. I cannot imagine a worse take.

The article and commenters are both complaining about JS in favor of HTML - I'm really just talking about it in this context. Anyways, I disagree with the idea that we should make something simple enough for PSPs and car browsers. Just

It feels like every week someone discovers that code closer to the metal is faster, and ignores the fact that it’s easier to write higher-level code, and that this is the specific tradeoff everyone is making. Why do these articles keep gett

If I was being absurd and disgusting, I’d call you a name. Not every disagreement is a personal attack, even if you’re dedicated to being a victim. >Explicit contradictions aren't the only basis for that, but for those, bible-defend

Isn’t this explicitly the one place you’d never want to use AI? Like, the only actual problem with AI is that it sometimes ignores errors in output like it has a PHD in Blindness To Problems. I always figured the path forward was strictly e

Then say the argument for what it is - “the text is often misunderstood and/or misrepresented”, not “the text itself is somehow hypocritical because people misuse it”. I don’t even disagree with you, I just don’t get why you’re so purp

I think it's extremely possible to be familiar with the criticism without ever having seen specific examples. I certainly haven't. I guess I assumed it was something to do with people misunderstanding the difference between new an

This is cool and all, but it’s been proven a million times over that surviving on donations sucks. One of the reasons a new field gets innovation in partly because it brings so many people hungry for profit in to give it a go. If your only

Ah, so "essentially none because this was a pretty bad attempt at a retort". Gotcha!

Cool, we’re not discussing authoritarian dictatorships - we’re discussing company towns.

The same can be said about literally anything in existence, from this incredibly inane point of view. Lots of things are historically dangerous and only work well when people who don't suck is running it. Most things suck when someone

Oh? Which industry regularly uses this as a part of standard business for consumers? Unless... you're just pretending to be too obtuse to understand the extremely obvious implication here.

There’s really nothing inherently profane about the concept, it’s just often abused. I’d love to see a few working examples out in the real world, personally.

The only reasons people logically buy an apple are twofold: first, you know it’ll still work mostly fine in a decade. Second, it gets you further into the walled garden. That’s really only nice if you’ve got a computer that will last long e
