You misused the term 'astroturfed.' If the performance/price is that good than it'll be spreaded by word of mouth and no need to astroturfed to the death. ... and I believe which is happening. I've been advocating f

Then don't make this thread. One can't discuss an issue about Israel/middle east's internet connection while pretending the war doesn't exist. Technical issues don't float in a perfect vacuum sphere.

I just tested it. Copied&pasted the original title into submit form. Nope. Right within the limit.

What 'all the comments'? There aren't many comments in this thread. You mean this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48432736 ? I flagged it too. I think the flag is quite justified.

I don't get it. Are we reading the same article? This article is so generic that it reads like vacuous truth to me. But I don't see their bitterness towards Rust (or anything, really. It's just vacuous.) from it. Is this pers

Thank you for making me look it up. I haven't been following news for a while and didn't recognize this name. Didn't know the situation is that bad.

Because Claude actually reads what I wrote. Other programmers, not so much. I had an online art class right before Stable Diffusion came out. After SD workflow got well known among the art community, I asked the teacher what's the diff

If this is a rhetorical question I genuinely don't know what's the implied answer. Why would AI specifically make C++ grow?

That's what we do here. Around my high school there are dozens of 'after school' classes where parents send their children to stay until 7~9pm. Now the birthrate is literally the lowest around the world, at 0.7[0]. The other

First of all I didn't say that we should ban datacenters. The point is that they should benefit the locals one way or another. Requiring them to invest in energy and other infra is a good first step.

I think these criticisms are unjustified. The article could be aiming for less tech-savvy people. Remember the most tech-savvy people in the world are those who enabled the surveillance infrastructure in the first place. Also if you want an

At the end it's a facility that costs the locals and benefits non-locals. Even if AI is the truly greatest productivity booster, the benefits are still distributed over all its customers, and the environmental impacts are mostly local.

If you're not from Israel, Israeli companies are by definition foreign institutions to you. Pointing out a media company is owned by Chinese companies are not racism against Chinese. Same with Israel.
