Antirez, I respect you immensely. I know you know what you are talking about. I do think that there's too much hype around rust. That said, I also think that we live in a world where a little bit of clickbait or hype-riding is admissib

It's a kind of Chinese-owned, Chinese-managed physical store. It has a little bit of every kind of non-perishable product. From clothes to tools to toys to tupperware, directly imported from China. The quality is not high, but neither

I have experienced almost the full cycle of enshittification. I remember when it arrived in my country (Spain). It was great. The catalog was very good. Customer service was very responsive. If I had a problem, they would return the money,

I see what you are saying. I am an engineer-turned-EM and you don't know me, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt: > Your job is NOT safe. Nothing will make execs happier than having this line of thought popularized

The main verb you are using here, "consume", means very different things when applied to humans and when applied to computers. It's similar to how "an airplane flies like a bird". It does indeed fly, but it does not

I have yet to see a demonstration that it “learns like a human”. Even if it did, that’d be very shaky legal grounds for anything. Almost everything man-made “makes something like a human”, because we made the thing, and it is convenient for

It seems that your subconscious is telling you that it wants you transform those cycles into some kind of action. I don't know what your circumstances are. If it were me, in my circumstances, I would be looking for groups of similarly-

I don’t think it’s fair to mark some parts of the argument “not the real world” when the argument is a whole block. The societal changes being discussed in the article are the main proposed path to a solution, not the particular cancer cure

Well maybe it will not make the US better, but it could perhaps help Europe not become worse (some people will think “if it’s American it must be better”). But thank you for sharing this anyway.
