What's the use case for this? Is doing a roundtrip to the server on every client interaction ever a good idea for building user facing UI?
A lot of FOSS enthusiasts want the UX to be bad, because to them the UX that is bad for most people is actually fine.

I think the issue is less getting a designer interested, and more that it would be really hard to get consensus. Changing UX is more subjective AND intrusive compared to adding more features or improving performance. Changing the UI means changing people's existing flows, as opposed to a new feature that can just be one more button somewhere.
Uh, never came across them. Though Immich and damselfly were the only really usable.
My first impressions of Next.js
Somehow I thought there would be a middle setting, "we will not arrest you for possessing and using meth and opiates" in between "we will arrest you for possessing meth and opiates" and "if you are addicted to meth and opiates we will not arrest you for most crimes"

> Suberbia was is a created artificial environment propped up by massive subsidies and supported with lots of other policies, on the local, state and national level.

Sure, but those subsidies arent going away because the people who benefit have political power. The highways arent going away either.

I certainly dont think suburbia is "natural." It absolutely is the result of the desire of the population though.

> If Elon cared about humanity he would open source Grok and Optimus

Is Grok or Optimus using any proprietary algorithms or models at the level of AGI? If they are AGI then yes I agree he should release the algorithms to the public domain. But my understanding is these are using well known already open methods that aren't close to AGI.

It's not true, and people claiming this are just trying to normalize these bizarre weblike corporate structures when in fact they're usually used to make a business law-proof in a way that's very contrary to the intent and purpose of the relevant law.

An underrated thing about Waymo:

If you open Uber and the app says a car is 9 minutes away that’s really anywhere from 5 to 15.

With Waymo if they say it’s 9 minutes to get a ride they mean 9 minutes. They’re not waiting for a human to accept your ride, they’re scheduling resources.

The lack of variance makes delays much more tolerable, IMO.

But economic opportunities for women in no way implies that these economic opportunities must preclude time for raising children. It's entirely conceivable for part-time jobs to exist, or for other economic setups that allow for maximizing the workforce while still promoting children.

This is a consequence of our economic and cultural systems, not because women working somehow become incapable of having children.
> Look at the vast landscape of developer tool vendors who offer some kind of Github integration features out of the box. These aren't even unique selling points, they are expected functionality.

It is a valid point, but you are not necessarily required to use such tools (I deliberately don't use them, due to these problems). Of course, some people do; as long as they are not mandatory, you could still use the program being made by the project, elsewhere.

> From that regard git is just the data export format

It is import as well as export. (However, this does not include the issues. The API is documented, but I don't know if any other git-based services support the same JSON format used by GitHub for this purpose.)
I think this is spot on. It might not seem like much, but the EU announcing they would open an investigation, during the beta of an OS is unheard of.

It's the kind of reactivity that might have surprised Apple, as it was a public response released even before the official answer to the current obviously malicious DMA compliance plan.
If there are several competing stores, could it be considered a walled garden though?
Not really. If you want to end up with money you can actually use for things other than paying ransomware, you have to end up with a bank account somewhere. And as banks wants to transact in USD, they play nice with the US government.
Going to space to fix them is very hard.

> That will solve the criminality problem, but not the drug problem.

That is exactly right. The drug problem, like the alcohol problem, on the level of personal suffering should be addressed by other means, like support groups, therapy, ban of advertising, ban on selling to minors, etc. It will not stop the drugs, but it will remove the criminality from the production and distribution. Don't you think the tradeoff was worth it for alcohol?

Fitness I think.

The top tier of fitness across a number of activities has never been more competitive.

I get the impression that in previous centuries (and maybe even previous decades) individuals who were particularly coordinated and fit could succeed in many different professional sports.

Now, each and every physical activity… no matter how niche seems to have an incredibly competitive upper echelon, wether it is soccer, cricket, marathon racing, ping pong, archery, rock climbing, surfing, or whatever. You need to dedicate extraordinary amounts of time and energy to that activity to be the best.

I suspect this hasn’t always been the case. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more professional athletes now relative to the population size than ever before.

It’s true - it’s a frustrating side of free software projects that user experience isn’t taken seriously. I think those that push back at criticism on that side aren’t considering that a key point of ‘free’ software is evangelism and encouraging adoption and are letting something else (eg ego) get in the way.

Yeah for this kind of simple UIs fast I might as well use something like Streamlit.

Edit - someone who has built with this has commented that they found things snappier than using Streamlit

Cheap batteries are a world changing technology. This is missing key in making cheap electric cars which solves numerous environmental problems. It also has massive geopolitical implications: A world that runs much less on oil is a very different world.

The idea that this is overcapacity is nonsense. Currently a common electric car costs 40-50K USD, if a desirable electric car can be made at 15-20K USD it will unlock massive global demand.

No, not really. I mean, those are issues, but more of monetization than usability. The usability decrease from those things is fairly small.
Eh scamming companies is fine, especially as they get larger. Companies scam employees whenever they get the chance.
They do and they would. This is exactly the argument in tech of startup acquisitions. Sometimes it is just simpler and more efficient to outsource the early bits if there is an ecosystem that supports those early bits. The early stages of development, while cheap, often requires something from the team that is not available in a big company. R&D works this way generally.

Transitioning from “nice idea” to “consumer product” is a vast chasm. Most people that do not actually have experience taking things from research to production grossly under-estimate the amount of effort involved. From a purely economic perspective, the “research” part of the total bill is dwarfed by the activity required to turn it into a salable product.
Rust is considering this under the name of "pattern types" [0][1]. If the full idea is realized, you should be able to handle strings and enums as well.

There is also a PR for a minimal implementation using a macro and targeting integers specifically[2]. It's experimental and there is a chance this doesn't get stabilized, but here's hoping it makes it through!

It is understandable, since the majority of FOSS enthusiasts consist of developers, techie folks. An audience of power users that indeed have different preferences for their UX. There's a lack of people involved in FOSS projects (e.g. designers) that inform these developers on the expectations of the user base that their FOSS project is targeting. FOSS devs want to see their project get uptake and use, and need different voices that tell them (with good arguments) how to achieve that. Lacking that biased UX hampers project objectives.

I'm a hands-on data science team lead who is specialized in pattern recognition in tabular data. My first ML model went into production in 2005. In my current position at a Munich-based startup, I have built the entire data infrastructure from scratch and scaled up the data team to 4 FTEs. Here's what I bring to the table:

- Diverse experience across industries such as retail banking, telco, e-commerce, loyalty or social networks

- I cover the entire data value chain, incl. data acquisition (web crawling), data warehousing / engineering / analytics, machine learning model development, and productization of data science solutions through the creation of cloud-based microservices.

- Beyond my technical skills I can take up the role of data-product owner, and I provide coaching including pair-programming in Python, SQL, and ML methodologies

Some argue about this from the perspective that it's a question of idealism vs pragmatism. I personally couldn't care less about idealism, but the practical implications of depending on a business that's seemingly still living on mostly investor money to be the sole provider of a service you depend on shouldn't be overlooked.

How practical will Discord be once enshittification accelerates? How practical will it be after it reaches EOL for failing to convince investors that it'll ever turn a profit? Can I run my own Discord infrastructure when that happens? Can someone else? If and when Discord says goodbye, can I easily export the data that is otherwise walled into the product? Given these considerations and a long term goal of being accessible to as many users as possible, how practical is Discord, really?
Actually yes they should

That makes sense, LLMs can't get creative. You have to train it on a dataset that's already quite creative, then they will be able to selectively reproduce that same creativity.

You’re misreading pretty much everything you’ve quoted from the DMA.

> No, DMA wording made it very clear that it's about web browser engine.

You follow this up by quoting a clause that manages core platform services.

What it says is:

> The gatekeeper shall not require [people] to use, to offer or interoperate with [stuff] of that gatekeeper in the context of services provided by [third party devs] who use the gatekeeper’s core platform services.

A good example where this is applicable is the App Store, which is designated as a core platform service. PWAs aren’t designated as core platform service and there’s also an argument to be made that web developers aren’t considered “third party devs” (or as the DMA calls them “business users” due to a lack of agreement between Apple and them.

> And they cannot make self-preferencing on their products.

Same here. This one is even narrower because it’s only limited to preferential treatment in the sense of “ranking and related indexing and crawling”

> The gatekeeper shall not treat more favourably [in ranking and related stuff] [their own products and services] than [similar products and services by others]

This applies to ranking apps in the App Store. It has no bearing whatsoever on PWAs unless somehow Apple starts ranking PWAs in a list and then chooses to rank their own PWAs higher.

The other one is also much narrower than you’re reading it.

> The gatekeeper [shall not prevent users from switching to and subscribing to different apps including browsers]

This mainly pertains to setting default apps and switching default apps. This tangentially relates to PWAs, but installed PWAs are technically not run in Safari and instead in their own app that uses WebKit under the hood, so it’s not so clear if this would apply to PWAs.

> There's no room for this kind of interpretation in the view of enforcement entity. Apple is just trying to buy time by pretending ignorance.

I can’t distill a lifetime worth of legal experience into a tangible piece of evidence nor are there readily available authoritative sources on compliance with government regulation narrow and simple enough that I can just present them without much worry of you understanding them, especially since you’re already struggling with, what is considered in European legal standards, rather straightforward legal text.

So all I have is a trust me bro, and perhaps an appeal to common sense: Apple’s lawyers didn’t just wake up today and said to themselves “You know what, we were too cautious with interpreting the DMA a couple of weeks ago, I’m sure it’ll be fine if we keep PWA installs without implementing a way for other browsers to install them as well”, much less a variation in which they are trying to buy time by feigning ignorance.

We already know that the EU reached out to Apple about disabling PWA installs. So with that in mind, do you think the lawyers woke up one day and said “fuck it” or do you think it’s more likely the lawyers gave the go ahead after the EU told them that PWA installs as implemented in iOS are beyond the scope of the DMA?
Tesla's Megafactory is making cells based on the NMC chemistry. It's a little more energy-dense than LFP, but has a lower lifespan, depends on Nickel and Cobalt and so is more expensive than LFP batteries.

Also, NMC batteries are much more prone to self-ignition. LFPs are very safe in comparison, although still not as safe as LTO batteries.

Tesla started to adopt LFP cells and purchases them from Chinese suppliers.
The ultimate RAD was Windows Forms, in my opinion. It's been downhill ever since.

Remember how you could just "add" a database connection to your project, plop a data source on a form, then a datagrid or a bunch of text/check/comboboxes and the standard control, wire it all up in a couple clicks, and things just magically worked?

That was a lovely time to work on any kind of line-of-business app.

Well, to each their own, but that has never been the case in any of the companies I've worked at. In fairness, over the fast 5 years or so more and more the companies I've worked at have used Kanban over sprint planning, because usually the "estimation" part of agile (i.e. the cards, the voting) has proven to be the most useless piece of agile.

LIBOR was developed in '86. The LIBOR scandal broke in 2012, with evidence of bad conduct going back to '08 or so. The LIBOR to SOFR transition was officially kicked off around 2016. Due to the complexity, the transition took 5 years.

The LIBOR rate-setting mechanism was a reasonable design for the world of 1986 [1], when finance was a smaller club and trust among bankers was higher. Also, it wasn't clear back then that the volume of contracts referencing LIBOR would grow to become many trillions of dollars just a short couple decades later.

When problems finally became very clear, we replaced it.

[1] One criticism often levied at LIBOR is why it sufficed to take a windsorized bank poll instead of looking at something more reliable, such as market transactions. But that's ahistoric: in 1986, banks didn't always do unsecured 3m lending on a daily basis. And later on, banks mostly stopped doing unsecured lending to one another entirely. So critics who suggest that LIBOR should've looked at market transactions entirely miss that finance, actually practiced, is a constantly moving target and it's hard to predict the future when designing benchmarks. SOFR, LIBOR's replacement, looks at secured interbank lending — a practice that was rare when LIBOR was created.
This is a very odd stance to take. If we can agree unions are a good thing then both the high and low paying employees should have access to and use unions.

I would argue that Google staff unionising is a good thing for everyone. It shows even high paid tech workers deserve protection. Google has demonstrated this exactly. They just fired everyone in the team!
You are both (at least party) wrong since the demographic transition started as early as 1750 (in France) long before childbirth started to fall and even longer before media technology (unless you count the printing press as one, but then how come the transition happened more than a century later elsewhere in Europe?)
