Specifically, it was about the need to tax the rich and not grant them exemptions for favours like nobles.

I think the lure with matchmaking was that when it was introduced, it made you really good compared to before by easier access to better practice. In Data 2 the skill level shifted upwards enourmously for pro players and I feel also for nor

There is an pink elephant behind you. In practice, I believe that at least after the dust have settled, events of the type of "Count Ferdinand was shoot dead infront of 100 witnesses", like maybe 1/50 are fake? Dunno what sha

Time alone is essentially zero sum with kids unless grandparents are covering up way more than most actually do. There is no adversial angle needed.

I believe many of those "everything" sites are just middle men for ordering from other sites.

I think the main selling point of Windows Search is spying and manipulation. Turning off websearch just leaves a carcass.

It works versus serious companies cold calling you. Scammers and semi-scammers still call. There is some need to adress what it doesn't solve too.

Nvidia and constructions companies certainly are. And a lot of middle men...

Yeah. Should be possible to do those proceduraly to save ram and some clever animation design to not use too much CPU. Anyways it is a bad trade off for the users to make and most don't even know they areaking it.

Seems very wasteful to help MS make their closed system better.

Yes something like that. Devs are in the position of apprentices and helper boys in the context of blacksmiths. Equity is mostly not handed out in a way that grants power but the opposite to tie the dev to the workplace. Some lottery ticket

The WFH aficionados that emerged during Covid had no concept of bargain power or power structures. Dunno why there was such resistance from the owning class afterwards with return to office mandates.

Yeah. A bit overused by now I refrained from quoting it. Someone here on HN crowned Sam Altman as a "sociopat sociapat" i.e. playing sociopats for money. I think that was the insight of years for me. Battle Royal explodeing collar

Except the strange dysgenics reason for the downfall of high civilization in Idiocracy it is a interesting movie. It should have talked more about cultural enshittification.

They take warnings in popular culture as instructions or inspiration.

Blacksmiths were petite bourgeois. We are not.

How about that they do bad stuff and feel bad about it? You make it sound like they are taking a bullet or something. Desillusion is probably way worse.

Don't forget NES, SNES and Genesis. 2d games are way easier for small kids like 3-4yo. I personally would recommend Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in World of Illusions as you do Coop and can save the kid a lot. I was surprised that chil

So they will harvest trade secrets from 10000s of companies and there have been no panic mass flight about this? How companies entrust SaaSs with their data is beyond insane to me. Especially since FOSS alternatives are readily available.

In "actual fighting" the losses are such that the units are weakened not like leveling up experience. I don't think soldiers survive any meaningful amount of combat to get experience in combat. Pooping without WC is what they

Eyeing Wikipedia it seems like it sold for about raised capital. Probably very little product value but some b2b contracts to milk?

> No one argues against compilers, build tools, IDEs, task runners, deploy and orchestration tools. Uhm ... I've heard quite alot arguing against IDEs. And I feel IDEs are too much of a lock in.

There is no way bicycling is not less effort unless it is very hilly or bad roads? Random people have no problem keeping up with marathon runners on bikes.

The hard part is that LLM code looks like there is some sort of flow. It is like a nice statistical smooth flow. It looks very convincing at a glance. No one would write code like that and not know what they are doing comments self assured

Another theory is that things has gotten worse as more and more petite bourgeois prospects for class travel lose faith in the invisible hand and turn to pure grift. And when it comes to culture as festivals they are very much victims of get
