I don’t think those have much to do with it. Certainly Go is a more rigorous language than say JavaScript but it’s package mangement was abysmal for years. It’s not even all the great now. C/C++ is the same deal. The way it handles any

The claim here is that it can’t because it want filter its own garbage let alone other garbage. The narrative being pushed boils down to LLMs and AI systems being seen as reliable. The fact that Google AI can’t even tag YouTube videos as un

Those are false equivalents. If a technology can’t reliably sort out what is a trustworthy source and filter out the rest than it’s not a truth worthy technology. There are tools after all. I should be able to trust a hammer if I use it co

> Not trusting an AI told to lie to you is different than not trusting an AI The entire foundation of trust is that I’m not being lied to. I fail to see a difference. If they are lying, they can’t be trusted

>Countering debasement of shared reality and NOT using AI generated videos as sources should be a HUGE priority for Google. This itself seems pretty damning of these AI systems from a narrative point of view, if we take it at face value.

The frustration I have with this is that the money is there, today but our culture in the US does not understand the value of proper taxation to fund infrastructure and social services in the US. We waste billions of tax dollars on frivolou

I think societies should and will need to get used to either forcibly doing these environmental restoration projects despite other objections and/or paying people out to remove land owner interests. Climate change doesn’t care about wh

I don’t know what gets me more the fact this went on for 3 decades before anything happened to stop it or the fact that now discovered and having to deal with this, the government is still trying to sell this as some kind of win instead of

To be fair, I think everyone but Google has been missing the boat on LLMs as platform integrations. I call out Google as an exception because Gemini when it works correctly from an integration point of view can actually do some cool stuff l

This is changing with iPadOS, but the market needs to catch up with that. It supports a mouse and keyboard really really well now

While I agree with the principle, and we as tech professionals and enthusiasts should be lobbying hard for law makers and regulators to open iOS up to allow for different browsers, there’s a couple flaws here without these precedents or act

What people, exactly? You could see the introduction of desktop computing and other types of computing in industry with a double digit increase to productivity, all other things being equal. Any organization that properly adopted computers

Nice way to make all that data meaningless. I already know some people who’s jobs have pushed adoption of AI tools and it’s clear that whether or not it meaningfully impacts their speed it is not going to do them any favors to say it doesn’

The funny thing is it’s all cultural. It’s not some intractable thing, the path to fixing all this has been available for a long time. It’s a well studied domain with practical solutions abound. But enough of the US citizenry that I share t

Decoupling slots from shadow dom would make custom elements even better. I love custom elements. For non React.js apps I use them to create islands of reactivity. With Vue each custom element becomes a mini app, and can be easily lazy loade

I want to ask simply for curiosity. Knowing you felt this way about that code, and I'm assuming knew that it had some level of relative importance to Svelte as a whole, how did that inform your decision making, if at all?

The problem will always be timing more or less. You can find structural problems that should inevitably arise and create a dynamic where say a short seller will make a killing. However it can take years, sometimes over a decade, for things

Swifts most notable use case is certainly making apps but if I recall correctly Apple has converted a good bit of their networking code to Swift. It may not be the lowest of the low level but it certainly is more flexible than meets the eye

Sufficient for whom? At my job they’re still refreshing workstations regularly. They buy and churn hardware on a regular basis. Not quite “buying on release week” basis but some % of employees always getting new hardware at max specs in the

The inclusion of Pixelmator Pro is simply so they no longer have a hole in the software lineup as a competitor vs Affinity (I think the real competitor to this bundle) and Adobe I think they view Photos as a viable replacement for Lightroom

The acquisition of the Affinity software by Canva I imagine motivated this. It’s even a similar pricing model, though technically with Pages / Numbers / Keynote covers a little more ground but I think the main intent is to get cre

It’s a matter of time before tv manufacturers start requiring an app to sync with the TV to set it up. That would let them glean information about you every time you use said app. You’re still getting around this with a 3rd party device lik

I’d need to see evidence of unreasonable regulatory burden pushing costs up. I take claims like this on a case by case basis because it’s rarely so linear. Businesses always claim “regulation makes prices higher” but deregulation has not re
