Genuine question: is Fox News a credible, unbiased source for these figures in particular?

I believe the phrase you're reaching for is "carrying out extra-judicial executions of civilians alleged to have been smuggling drugs."

I believe capitalism is defined by private ownership (not necessarily by investors) of the means of production.

If you don't use any AI assistance when coding I suspect you're already in the minority. If you refuse to use software that was built with any AI assistance, well... good luck finding an operating system to run.

Paul Kinlan published a blog post a couple of days ago [1] with some interesting data, that show output tokens only account for 4% of token usage. It's a pretty wide-reaching article, so here's the relevant quote (emphasis mine):

A documented breaking change does not mean the application is unstable. The Neovim developers have been extremely clear that part of the process of getting to 1.0 is finalising the API, and that there will be breaking changes en-route.

I've found Neovim to be remarkably stable, even when building from main.

I would argue that ambiguity and uncertainty slow down reading, and more importantly comprehension , far more than a few additional characters.

I appear to be in the minority here. Perhaps because I've been practicing TDD for decades, this reads like the blog equivalent of "water is wet."

"Welcomes" seems like a stretch.

I view it as a collection of potentially helpful tips which have worked well for the author, which is exactly how it's presented. There's no suggestion that this is The Only Blessed Way.

If you must "choose to enable" encryption, that implies it's off by default. If so, GP's statement is accurate.

I'm confused. Are you criticising the article, or simply expressing concern for what may happen? The context suggests the former, but your criticisms bear no relation to the linked content. If anything, your edict to "write tests

Thank heavens for that separation of powers, otherwise the President would be declaring wars and levying tariffs willy-nilly, without even bothering to check with Congress first.

I assume the reasoning is if they're so capable, why would they need to steal secrets and technology? I use "reasoning" in the broadest possible sense.

A source for your claim would be helpful. Here's an alternative take, with source: > In Q2 2025, the number of attacks involving malware, adware, and unwanted software decreased compared to Q1. https://securelist.com&#x2F

It's interesting to contrast this take with the opinions expressed on an earlier thread about OpenAI's moat (or lack thereof). Several people pointed to Google Search as an example of "user count as moat", and an explana

I agree with your assessment, but given the past behaviour of this administration I wouldn't be shocked to discover that the real reason is "petulance".

It's almost like the democratically elected Congress gets to decide the name, not the President! (Spoiler: it's still legally called the Gulf of America)

I responded to another comment in this thread with the details, but in summary, no. See this previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46708678

This is false. Kagi had a post discussing this which made the front page of HN about a month ago [1]: > Google does not offer a public search API. The only available path is an ad-syndication bundle with no changes to result presentation
