So how fare we are from telling AI to make us a clone of iOS and include the good bits about Android, make no mistakes? If the stuff the AI companies are promising has any truth in them, Android and iOS or any software should become irrelev

Don't you think that maybe the issues are rooted in the Apple's attempt to do everything by itself? All things considered Apple actually delivers some great software, Apple is one of the few companies that built their own operatin

Me too but the USA decided to do something else. EU will be forced to follow suit, can’t be the only free market when everyone else is favoring their own companies.

EU is still surprisingly naive and open for business. After TikTok getting banned(postponed for now) in US for national security reasons, and after US cutting military support and intelligence in Ukraine I was expecting for things to start

Suicide is a statement, it is the last act of somebody against the society. It is something serious that puts the burden on the shoulders of the remaining. It has long, deep history attached to it. Unalive on the other hand is a simplistic

That's true, some day in the future somebody will make 5 seconds long, long format documentary about the fascinating origins of the word :) It has a passive aggressive character, I like that word a lot.

It's not about filters, I like using unalive in the context of suicide when I have no sympathy to the person who dies. It's such a nice dehumanizing word.

I'm not sure how all this is going to play out but sooner than later local solutions will be enforced politically. >Migrating away from US cloud services was easier than I expected. So if the AI hype is worth its salt, the transitio

IRRC The official explanation is that there were a few autopsies going on at the same time in that facility and it came from the body next to hers. The public opinion was that they bribed the technician to contaminate her body. The whole ca

It cuts both ways, there was this high profile case of the son of a very rich and powerful family brutally murdering his working class girlfriend in his family mansion with some family present, motives still unknown. In the autopsy they dis

It depends, the efficiency isn't the only parameter. Plants are beloved and self sustained, there are plants that have been alive for thousands of years. Even when the plants die, they can be useful and are naturally recycled. Also, th

It's just punishment differences based on paperwork available, that doesn't mean there's difference in the designation of the action as "crime".

Right, IMHO the amazing thing about AI is that it can actually build the custom made bot from scratch every time you need it. They just need to go a few steps back and evaluate why this system was needed in first place. Awful lot of softwar

That's not the point though, I'm not anti-automation or anything like that. The point is, using robots on interfaces and systems made for people is not the way to go. Why would you want to have your swipes on Tinder and your trip

I feel like all those AI agent attempts are misguided at their core because they don't attempt to create new ways but replace humans on the legacy systems. This is fundamentally shortsighted because the economy, life and everything is

I agree but the $0(*) people do win, they usually loose money for years and years and they are able to provide great service. Eventually they lock you down and start recouping their investments from you but they do make some things possible

I don't know how this can be illegal, although I agree that the practice is pretty harmful in some ways. In the AI age for example, almost all platforms are giving it away for free now and costs huge amount of money for them. They are

On AWS or Google Cloud or Firebase you pay $0 a month until you start paying thousands of dollars per month. This makes the brands ubiquitous and developers knowledgeable of the platform. It's like having free MS Office subscription fo

One thing about the EU based platforms is that they tend to have much more limited free tier, often there's none. IMHO the deep pockets of the US based tech is their primary competitive advantage. In other countries they seem to try to

That's quite different though, with different effects on society. It's like George Orwell vs Huxley.

I feel like the internet is turning into TV. There are not that many things going on, instead, there's a firehose that directs all the rage or all the love to something for some period of time. Almost like the legacy media picking topi

In Safari, tabs get small up to a point, then they are scrollable. Sure, there are duplicates but it's usually the homepage of HN or Twitter. I close those when encountered. It looks like this: https://a.dropoverapp.com&#x2
