So, 100% bike offenders. Less than 100% car offenders. You proved my point.

A user doesn't need to know anything other than "when I go to site XYZ.com my computer freezes. Guess I won't go there again" > I think this point of view is making it a bit too easy. It's been 15 years since thi

WebGPU provides ZERO extra data that wasn't already available from WebGL in 2011. The world didn't end and it's been 15 years

that's because they don't hav any security relevance.

This has been around since 2011 when WebGL shipped. It's documented in the spec. It's a self correcting problem. You go to a site, it freezes your machine, you never visit the site again. No data is stolen, no privacy is lost. All

Lived without that for 5000yrs, don't need it now. It provides nothing except people no longer able to speak freely for fear. It's enabling a panopticon.

I agree with this but not just React, React-Native. There's many libraries I no longer have a need for. I've made several JS 3d apps just asking the LLM to write the 3D code from scratch. AFAICT they usually shed 2meg of library a

It's not illegal for you to remember, it's illegal for you to record. There's a difference. For me, I don't want to live in a world where if I say something embarrassing or not well thought out, someone pushes a button a

They wouldn't be charged 3-5% if Visa and Mastercard weren't a duopoly. In countries where they aren't there are 10-20 competitors that charge way way less.

I found the AVP UI work to be bad honestly. I walked right up to a surface to touch it, you can't. Holding my eyes still so it registers what I'm looking at, not what I'm touching, was horrible and super unintuitive.

Is it? Or is that just you, projecting. You could argue baseball, golf, hockey, are all violent as you smash a stick into a ball.

You just ignored the previous point. You linked to the audio never getting recorded or leaving the device. The previous post said the transcription of that audio leave that part of the device. They must, otherwise they could not be displaye

Why does the 15 seconds matter? My conversations with friends would be vastly different if I knew at any second they could push a button and get a transcript of what we just said. I'd pretty much never make a joke again.

Thanks! I think this is it. Even though it was on the front page I think I didn't realize the topic was old enough to have 24hr old comments as it was not on the front page 10hrs earlier

Ridiculous and trivially provably false. (maybe Danish are different) Go to any intersection in SF or LA. Set up a camera. Count the number of cars and cyclists that break a traffic law. Cars will be 5-10% breaking the laws. Cyclists will b

In my circle, everyone who's tried Waymo never wants to use Uber/Lyft with a human driver again. And, many of them wish they could own one or at least use one for much longer drives (100s of miles). I would visit my mom (2hrs by c

I couldn't get into every day dialog etched in stone. It's one thing to find an old ruin that has some profound sounding thing like "All men are created equal". But it's beyond the pale for people to write tablets t

Interesting visualization. I feel like it's misleading though because the presentation shows only Los Angeles City boundaries, not the area in general. LA City has that strange vertical shaft down the the port so the city could keep th
