Does it? I'm not disputing you, I'm curious why you think so.

You're absolutely right of course. Even a child could look at the present situation and determine that the solution is to simply build more housing, but for some reason many grown adults cannot accept such a simple solution and insist

Making a game with Godot or Unity is much easier than making an engine.

It's inflation, simple as that. The US left the gold standard at the exact same time that productivity diverged from wages. Coincidence? No. Pretty much everything gets more expensive, with the outliers being tech which has gotten much

Barely affected? They benefit massively from it. That is why the rich get richer.

Also blind leading the blind here but I see two paths. 1) Specialize in product engineering, which means taking on more business responsibility. Maybe it means building your own products, or maybe it means trying to get yourself in a more c

Surely it has nothing to do with the proliferation of chemicals and microplastics into the ecosystem, water, food, etc. That would be absurd, after all, a Monsanto-sponsored study found that their pesticides are totally safe.

I do this but with copilot. Write a comment and then spam opt-tab and 50% of the time it ends up doing what I want and I can read it line-by-line before tabbing the next one. Genuine productivity boost but I don't feel like it's A

I'm sure a lot of people and companies got pwned and they aren't going to disclose it. There are chrome extensions that passively polls sites for the vulnerability, and since the vulnerability is so simple to exploit and leaves vi

If something is marginally better, it's not guaranteed to win out because markets aren't perfectly rational. However if something is 10x better than its competitors it will almost always win.

Everybody who talks like this is unwilling to fight themselves.

Haha you think the youth own homes? It'll be young people dying so old people get richer just like every other war.

What is your point? That we should put more effort into protecting against asteroids? I'm sure you could make a convincing case for that.

I wonder why it is that the past seems more real and the present dishonest and fake? Is it simply that it is?

How do you make that calculation when there is a small possibility of infinite risk? That is why the PP exists, otherwise you either ignore the possibility of total disaster events, or you cannot choose to act.

> I'm saying that the Precautionary Principle calls for exactly that position Not necessarily. The PP is interpreted so many different ways, it was actually invoked by people like Nassim Talib to not only justify the vaccine rollout

by samdoesnothing 10mo ago
No because it wasn't mandatory in most places, so there was no systemic risk. People were free to take it, in the same way people are free to drink alcohol, and the precautionary principle doesn't apply to individual risk. I still

I agree, I was just commenting that your single server being simpler is less affected by entropy :)

Are we even talking about the same thing? The precautionary principle, at least as far as I understand it, is to emphasize caution, pausing and review before leaping into new innovations with potential for causing extreme harm when extensiv

by samdoesnothing 10mo ago
The precautionary principle clearly states that if you have a chemical that kills living things and you have a company who stands to make a lot of money off of this chemical as long as it's safe for humans, that you should be very very

With all due respect, your dedicated server is not quite as complex as Cloudflare...

"research", it's a bunch of rust fans at google who are claiming it, without any real serious methodology.

Not really, I didn't keep receipts. This stuff was discussed heavily on X a couple years ago when they were first launched and a lot of people questioned the wisdom of implicit RPC and blurring the lines between client/server, and

Just because something is made possible and you can do it doesn't mean you should! The criticism is that by allowing you to do something you shouldn't, there isn't any benefit to be had, even if that system allows you to do s

Especially cuz the vast majority of sites can either just be client rendered SPA's or server rendered multipage apps. There is no need for the complexity for most sites and yet this is the default for pretty much all js frameworks...

Most people don't have a problem with using genai for stuff like throwaway UI's. That's not even remotely relevant to the criticisms. People reject having it forced down their throats by companies who are desperate to make us

This is genuinely embarrassing for the Next.js and React teams. They were warned for years that their approach to server-client communication had risks, derided and ignored everyone who didn't provide unconditional praise, and now this

It's probably a list of bullet points or disjointed sentences fed to the LLM to clean up. Might be a non-English speaker using it to become fluent. I won't criticize it, but it's clearly LLM generated content.

by samdoesnothing 10mo ago
Ya ur right, it's either LLM generated, LLM enhanced, or the author has been reading so much LLM output that its writing style has rubbed off.
