It really makes me wonder what makes people engage in such pointless semantic handwringing like this. Your comment even acknowledges the end result: support for PWA's and as a result persistent storage has been removed. Do you think that end users care that you can make some theoretical mental gymnastic argument about how there hasn't been a "policy change" when from any practical point of view there actually has been one?
There are at least two issues:

1. They overcorrected the prompt to the point of ridiculousness. Where any historical context is ignored and any user prompts will be overriden by whatever US corporate kindergarten-level of inclusivity is [1]

2. A clear and flat-out swing into the extreme. The prompt "Generate an image of X scientist/soldier/family/meeting/group of people" would work for literally every ethnicity, skin color, nationality etc. except for the word "white" where it would refuse to generate the image because "not diverse enough".

Both of these are problematic enough on their own. Together they border on malicious.

[1] It really is kindergarten level. The images they generate are just 2-3 US-centric stereotypes of what people of different races would look like.
First, it appears laughable; second, it is fought against; third, it is considered self-evident

It seems we're at the second stage
I don't know if there is a hard part. Marketing is easy when the product is marketable. Development is easy when the required features are very clear.

The critical mistake many devs make is making something that just isn't very marketable. It might solve the problem, but say, the screenshots don't look very appealing. The marketer has to sit the customer down for 40 minutes to explain it. If it needs a video to explain, it's probably poorly designed.

Say, you're making a Pomodoro Technique app. It looks like a tomato. Color theme is tomato-like. It makes a ticking sound and a bell sound. There's an indicator of time left. You don't even need words on a page to market this to the target audience.

You can have a Pomodoro app that looks like a spreadsheet and plays some music instead of having a visual indicator. This is both harder to develop and harder to sell. It might do the same thing, maybe better! But it's hard mode.
> And we are moving to the cloud, so rather than some simple flask built api, learn and deal with FaaS stuff. And then good luck deploying updates.

For me it’s been the opposite.

My FaaS stuff just stays up despite my, at the beginning, minimal knowledge. I’ve had, on the other hand, instances crash just because firewall logs piled up and filled all available storage.

But I agree on the overall point.

> Apparently the new model when asked for historical figures that were historically white would "hallucinate" more diverse persons.

This is a weird parallel to similar controversies in fiction.

So presumably an AI image generator generating images of historical figures in situations they never experienced, wearing clothes they never wore, in places they never visited, at times they didn't live through, using tools they never heard of, meeting people who's lives didn't overlap, saying things they never said in languages they never spoke etc. is fine but skin colour is a bridge too far because "historical realism" is soooooo important when using an AI image generator.

Sorry to be that guy, but if you are using an open source library and it adds hats that you're unhappy with that means you did not check the library you are including.

Maybe not looking at code one includes in a product has become much too common practise, but if some library for a button (funny I never felt the need to use one) includes special stylings on special days and you included it, that is on you. Sure it would have been nice of them to point this out if they didn't, but after all you are taking someone elses code for a button so you should know what it does.
A seven day expiration alone makes it useless. Why would anyone think side loading is supported when you can't open the app anymore after 7 days?

More likely to be iOS apologists looking for a narrative, they try it out and proclaim that it works, but have no intention to actually use their side loaded test app, so they don't even realize it only looked like it worked.

It’s not pointless semantic handwringing. I was specifically responding to this:

> I think removing persistent storage and the ability to add websites to the home screen makes it obvious what their strategy is.

Inferring their motives from a policy change that hasn’t taken place is pointless.

This would have been a reasonable thing to say:

> I think removing the ability to add websites to the home screen makes it obvious what their strategy is.

Specifically referring to the removal of persistent storage as if it were a policy change they are currently enacting is counterfactual.
This is sabre-rattling belligerence, plain and simple. There is no threat from Russia or China that can't be countered with a functioning diplomatic and ambassador corps ..

Alas, America doesn't have one of those any more - so it has to rattle sabres to get its way, instead.

The cost of half a submarine such as this would go a long way to restoring peace in the world, were it spent on diplomacy and good will instead of jobs programs for domestic war profiteers...
What you're talking about is oxymetazoline and its analogs, like in Afrin nasal spray.

Oxymetazoline is super potent and works immediately on nasal passages, but it can be risky to stay on for more than a few days straight.

Steroids like fluticasone don't work immediately, and take a couple of days to kick in, but you can use them indefinitely. Also, in addition to opening nasal passages, they have general anti-allergic effects -- i.e. they can help with itchy, watery eyes and facial swelling.
This sounds like a valuable practice. I'd like to see limits on the retention of public surveillance video, and AFAICT the only way to enforce it would be something like this.
Why should they listen? Will doing these things improve their profitability? I don't think so. Having this annoying stuff (telemetry, forcing Edge, etc.) is good for Microsoft's profitability, and that's all that's important. If users don't like it, they can pound sand. It's not like they're going to switch to Linux; if they were really going to do that, they would have done it already in the last 20 years. Microsoft has gotten smart, and realized that all those people swearing "if they do this, I'm finally switching to Linux!" weren't really serious, because they've been saying exactly that for a couple of decades now, and still haven't, so almost nothing they do at this point will actually get them to leave Windows as long as it actually lets them do their work, however poorly and annoyingly.
> If society took the wealth of a few billionaires and distributed it to the most impoverished I think a lot of our overpopulation woes would vanish overnight.

Maybe, maybe not. Most of impoverished people I know are impoverished because they continue to act irresponsibly with money. Just giving them money without education, handholding and a lot of coaching about how to spend money will mean that money will be distrobuted back away into society and eventually the rich will return to being rich. Of course not everyone is like that, but I'd say 80%. By just redistributing wealth, after 5 years we would reduce amount of poor people by 20%. That's why it's so hard to fight poorness. They require a lot more than just money.

Some of those users might also not like the EU but that's not important.

> number of variables any half complicated code has.

It is not about sheer number of variables some code has.

Generally speaking, if you have a horrifically non-linear system you still want good performance on, or you have a very predictable system and enough sensor inputs to predict its behaviour and you want to get better performance than you can get from a purely reactive form of control (though, in a lot of cases like that, PID + some form of feedforward control is almost as simple and can work really well without needing to dive into more advanced controllers). PIDs can control most any system but they are rarely the optimal controller for any given system. That gap only tends to be really large in the situations I've mentioned, though.
It doesn’t matter. They bring in hundreds of billions of dollars per year from hardware. They are definitely still a hardware company.

Because of a lawsuit, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stac_Electronics

DriverSpace was the new version after the lawsuit was settled.
I live in Germany and I've recently booked a cheap car with Hertz for a weekend trip. At the rental office, they offered me to upgrade to a premium EV for no additional cost, because most people rent a car for medium to long distance trips like I did, and the range, charging speed and charger availability makes driving an EV into too much of a hassle. We've had about 200 kilometers one way and a charger at the destination, so we went for it.

This made me think about the viability of EVs in places like Europe where inner-city driving is discouraged and there is a lot of public transit options. Among the people I know, if someone is thinking of buying a car, they plan to use it for leisure trips - public transport outside of major population centers tends to be unreliable and insufficient, and if you have kids, then it's straight out impossible to travel without a car. That's why convenience is king when people choose a car here - having to stop every 300-400 kilometers for an hour to charge your car is not something people would gladly plan for.

I guess that Americans might have different priorities, as everyone has a car that is being used within the metropolitan area most of the time, so this means more shorter trips with breaks that could be used for charging.
Lines of code is a poor metric, as usual. You can easily have multiple transformations in one line, or write expressions with a dozen nodes without intermediates, like a mathematician. Perhaps you believe this makes code more readable. When you run that code in a debugger (the one true way to understand any program) that will come back to haunt you.
MicroStrategy’s social media was hacked, leading to $440k in losses.
Users are deceived into fake airdrops, suffering substantial financial losses
MicroStrategy, the renowned business intelligence firm fell victim to a malicious cyber attack on its social media platform. On February 25th, the company’s official account began posting deceptive links, luring unsuspecting users into a fraudulent scheme promising a purported “official” Ethereum-based MSTR token airdrop.

Upon clicking the link, users were directed to a counterfeit MicroStrategy webpage, prompting them to connect their wallets and claim the fake $MSTR airdrop. Little did they know, this was the gateway for attackers to drain their tokens from their wallets. Reports from independent blockchain investigator ZachXBT and anti-scam platform Scam Sniffer reveal that losses from this scam have already exceeded a staggering $440,000.
>they are interested in solving their problems using Linux and then sharing. This leaves space open for groups like Valve or Google to create a nice UI on top of Linux and sell that.

In theory. In practice, this doesn't happen.

Overall, I'd say desktop UIs are actually Linux's greatest failing. It's dominated by two different groups (Gnome vs. KDE) with extremely different design philosophies, and both having major (but different) problems. The whole Wayland vs X thing is also part of the problem. Everything else in Linux generally works really well, which is part of why it's so successful on servers and embedded systems.
I haven‘t said anything of the sort.
I've always said it's about the fans. Even when we're making a credit card or something, the fact that people create entire groups to discuss the product is pretty cool.
Concerns over reliability? Some car issues can be erratic and you may not find out about them until some time later. If you buy used, there's a level of risk regarding what the car's been through with previous owners. If you have a family and/or work with a tight schedule and/or park in areas where you wouldn't like to be left stranded, you may really value reliability.

Your vision of design is too wide.

The deliverable of design is a prototype with more or less refinement that the engineering team can get inspiration from.

It's hardly THAT important.

Engineers are the ones who really are solving the problems.

Whether it's the right problems is a matter of opinion.
