If static has won, why are dynamic languages more popular now (even since 2023). Comically, I’ve witnessed people say this since the 90s. For me, I don’t care about static because dynamic is easier. For the very few conditions where it matt

Because I want to be able to read and debug it. Giving up ever understanding your code with AI is a bad idea. It’s like asking why use English.

My guess is that it’s a Chinese PR campaign to sew bureaucratic barriers to data centers. No evidence whatsoever, but it seems to me that every social media driven trend that benefits some corporation is a pushed idea.

Google is doing both. They still ship to Google. Knowing Google, the local model probably means even more data are sent to Google.

Chrome has been eating my CPU for years. Who knows what Google is doing, but it sucks. I wish they wouldn’t do that. But I suppose hundreds of millions of people don’t mind based on the continued usage. I miss programmers being proud of eff

I don’t run Chrome and Google on my phone because they are so big on disk. The only reason I ever install Google temporarily is because gmail requires it to log in. Giant apps on phones is quite frustrating because some of us have small sto

Have you looked at Chrome lately? It’s 1.88GB and there’s tons of crap in there I didn’t “consent to.” Software is very bloated these days and I don’t think most projects allow users to pick and choose what part of the apps are installed or

This has always been my question of why don’t companies just directly emulate Apple. If lenovo is buying a billion chips a year, why can’t they lock in like Apple?

I remember the status page being quite accurate before the acquisition. I don’t like this whole casting of doubt upon sources without providing superior or even alternate sources. It makes it hard to discuss when one person presents a sourc

This is coming from github’s status page. You need to reconcile memory of downtime with github’s official record. I’ve been using github pretty much daily since 2010 and I never had a push fail or a repo be unavailable until recently.

I suspect it’s caused because Microsoft is using buggy Microsoft tech instead of the original stack. They’re making political decisions based on what they sell vs what’s actually useful for their use case. It’s kind of impossible to find ou

I think the problem with prediction markets is the ease of people changing the outcome and profiting on it from others expense. It’s worse than insider trading as it’s betting that Kyle’s mom will bomb Gaza and then making it happen. Any so

Social security will fail slowly by reducing its payout a little at a time. It can’t really fail all at once unless the US government dissolves. And people have been losing money on that bet for 250 years. Luckily, if someone thinks the USG

It’s probably a few thousand users. When I switched to mac, I looked for notepad++ and settled on BBEdit (which is awesome and funny I forgot about it all these years). This doesn’t seem like for money, but for esteem.

People upload images to openai and have it generate and modify. And it has to not generate csam. I guess that they process billions of images every day. I don’t think they’re getting csam from scraping (thankfully, I expect there isnt much

But you are cycling. Who cares if people know you have a camera or not. Meta glasses are one less thing, whereas a gopro is a second thing. Pretty rare to stop to talk to people while cycling.

But the other countries are also becoming more like the other countries, more quickly. Thus the US gets worse but less worse than alternatives. So US returns continue to grow.

One thing my economics professor taught me is that it’s about relative position across alternatives. The reason the US continues to grow and thrive despite insane debt is that other countries are worse. Try investing $100B in other markets

How else do you want companies to remove and prevent CSAM? It seems like you must have some human involvement to train and monitor. It’s a terrible job, I wouldn’t want to do it, but someone needs to. Perhaps one day, AI will be accurate en

Is it illegal or immoral? Having Meta review this material has to be approved by users and has their consent. There was an example in the article where a user’s glasses kept recording the user’s wife after he took them off. That’s bad but o

I think Meta, like all companies, doesn’t want its subcontractors creating bad press for them. So it doesn’t surprise me that Meta didnt renew/cancelled a contract that is a net negative for them. Arguing over the reason seems fruitles
