I come from a former Communist country and the far left in power twisted justice beyond any recognition. We had the "pleasure" being occupied by the Nazis and then ruled by the Stalinists and the bothside-ism is absolutely spot on, because these two systems are like evil brothers.

And as for France, that is why I don't trust Mélenchon any more than Le Pen, and they have 50 per cent of voters between them. Two far-somethings don't make a democracy.
It is a huge turnoff for me when futuristic series use conversational interfaces. It happened in the Expanse and was hard to watch. For anyone who likes to think, learn, and tinker with user interfaces (HCI in general), it's obviously a high-latency and noisy channel.
Oh I see. I assumed being able to explicitly yield unit meant statements were essentially just syntax sugar for unit. Thanks for the correction.
> If systemd is the reason, there are several good distros without systemd (I run Void Linux in particular).

There are people in the FreeBSD camp that actually do advocate for something like systemd in FreeBSD. See "The Tragedy of systemd": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo
Call centres are the first target for full automation. If I remember correctly they represent 3 million jobs in the US only.

There are no "safe jobs" in capitalism.
A propaganda machine? It's an openly center-left newspaper.
There is no evidence for any of that. Thoughts can form relatively quickly, but there's no way we can keep that up. Thoughts seem to stick around for a while.

And thoughts develop over time. They're often not conceived complete. That has been shown with some clever experiments.

And language production also puts a limit on our communication channel. It is probably optimized to convert communication intent into motor actions. It surely takes its time. That is not a problem for the system, since motor actions are slow. Idk where "lingthusiam" gets their ideas from, but there's psycholinguistic literature dating back to the 1920s that is often neglected by linguists.
I had the same thoughts on conversational interfaces [1]. Humane AI failed not only because of terrible execution, the whole assumption of voice being a superior interface (and trying to invent something beyond smartphones) was flawed.

> Theoretically, saying, “order an Uber to airport” seems like the easiest way to accomplish the task. But is it? What kind of Uber? UberXL, UberGo? There’s a 1.5x surge pricing. Acceptable? Is the pickup point correct? What would be easier, resolving each of those queries through a computer asking questions, or taking a quick look yourself on the app?

> Another example is food ordering. What would you prefer, going through the menu from tens of restaurants yourself or constantly nudging the AI for the desired option? Technological improvement can only help so much here since users themselves don’t clearly know what they want.

Ikea trust is more of a shell game to keep the family in charge while avoiding tax and general scrutiny and liability.
2001: A Space Odyssey was the original case against conversational interfaces.
I disagree with the author when they say something along the lines of “why don’t we use buttons instead of using these new assistive technology? Buttons are much faster, and I proved humans like fast.”
I think that’s false. Why after 10 years of software development I haven’t learned EMACS? Because I’m lazy, because I don’t think it’s the bottleneck of my work. My bottleneck might be creativity or knowledge and conversational interfaces might be the best thing there are for these (in the lack of a knowledgeable and kind human, which the author also seems to agree with).
Anyway, I don’t know, I found the title a bit disconnected from the content and the conclusions a bit overlappingly confusing but this is a complicated question. In the end I agree that we want a mix of things, we want a couple of keyboard strokes and we want chats. But most of all we probably want direct brain interface! ;)
Not anything - it wouldn't be a great idea to give an LLM the ability to spend money, but we let humans do it all the time.

I guess the first sentence could be restated as, “the reason avocados have exploded in the U.S. is that Mexican avocados are much more affordable”; although, the author goes on to state that the price isn’t a driver, and touches on the necessity of getting them from Mexico for year round availability.

I love The Guardian! It is one of my two ongoing donations, along with the Internet Archive.

Back when it was The Manchester Guardian, they produced one of the most remarkable TV commercials in history, "Points of View":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SsccRkLLzU

I first saw this commercial when Will Hearst (yes, of that Hearst family) screened it at a Software Development Forum meeting in the late 1980s.

I wish this were a better transfer, but it is what we have. Does anyone have a link to a higher resolution transfer?
Thanks for trying! Sorry about that. I've changed the daily exercise to an easier one for Japanese. Right now it takes random videos from all levels for the exercises, but I'm working on creating one simple one and a more challenging one.
1. It's an SSG and competes with projects like Astro or Solid or Next. Comparing to React is apples to oranges.

2. Benchmarks are just numbers without details. React+ReacDOM gzipped/minified is 40 kb in 2025. I doubt a button adds 30 kb. But if you really want to make small SPAs, Preact is just 4 kb and it doesn't require to learn a new bespoke templating DHTML-style thing.

3. From FAQ

> The WebAssembly example in our demo isn't about raw performance — it demonstrates something far more important: what becomes possible when your business logic is properly separated from presentation.

> But when your business logic lives in its own pure layer, entirely new possibilities emerge. Rust is just one example — you could model complex financial calculations, build sophisticated data visualization engines, or create real-time collaboration systems. Your logic can evolve independently of the interface, enabling the kind of architectural advances that the React monolith prevents.

The writer was high or delusional or bad at explaining the point. Nothing prevents you from putting logic into "its own pure layer" in any language. You can make it messy and impure with Rust/WASM/... just as you can keep it pure with pure JS. And it's not "entirely new" because people separated business logic for literally decades (and believe it or not many of them even did it while using React at the same time)

And meanwhile the Rust version is slower and bigger. "What becomes possible" is a mystery.

"React monolith" just takes the cake. React literally doesn't care how you separate your business logic, it's just a rendering layer. This ironically is a monolith SSG that does routing, YAML frontmatter, Markdown extensions, syntax highlighting and what not. Again, you are thinking about something like MarkoJS or QwikJS. Before you are trying to take something down you should probably understand the basics.

Don't get me wrong, it's a cool project. But it could be more humble because authors don't seem to fully understand themselves what exactly they are proposing.
> and yes some may work better.

Isn't that where the cost lies? Data, annotation, and model generation all have mostly linear responses to changes in spending.

> For most use cases any model will do.

They'll operate. They will not produce reliable results. Adoption is one metric, but intentional avoidance should be another.
The entire post feels like "cars will never become popular because they're not nearly as reliable as horses". It's incredible that we're all tech people, yet we're blind to not only the idea that tech will improve, but also the speed at which it is currently improving. People who don't like AI simply keep moving goalposts. If you told a person 10 years ago that the computer will be able to write a logically structured essay on any topic in any language without major errors, they'd be blown away. We are not though, because AI cannot write complete applications yet. And once it does, we'll be disappointed it cannot run an entire company on its own. And once it does, we'll be disappointed it cannot replace the government. And once it does, we'll find another reason to be disappointed.

Is there some website where I can read more on what AI can do, instead of what it cannot do?
Your thesis implies that before using my data I am compelled by law to know very well the terms of use; I think the opposite has happened in practice, especially in Europe the trend is to say that lengthy TOS don't mean that companies can do whatever they want/ just because the end-user clicked "I agree" doesn't automatically make them liable, in the eyes of the law, to know and understand all implications of the TOS. That's undue burden.

I guess you can argue that "I should've known that OpenAI will use my conversations if I send them to ChatGPT" but I'm not convinced it'd be crystal clear in court that I'm liable. Like I said.... I think until actually litigated, this is very much a gray area.

P.S. The distinction you make between "properly secured" and "improperly secured" nextcloud instance would, again, be a legal nightmare. I guess there could be an example of "criminal negligence" in extreme cases, but given companies get hacked all the time (more often than not with relatively minor consequences), and even Troy Hunt was hacked(https://www.troyhunt.com/a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mail...) - I have a hard time believing the average Joe would face legal consequences for failing to secure their own Nexcloud instance.
Why wouldn't it be helpful? I am almost certainly going to get better ideas from people introducing me to Peruvian flavours than a bunch of "I like what is on the Big Mac" responses.

Sure, one of my customers in Kansas might have a brilliant idea that I've never considered, but much more likely I'll already be familiar with anything they can dream up.

1. They are going to come from much the same background as I.

2. They are apt to be home cooks at best, while a burger joint is expected to elevate.

Topping a burger is an implementation detail. Within reason, the customer doesn't really care about what is on the burger as long as it tastes good. In a similar vein, are you going to ask the expected users of your new cat meme app which programming language you should use?
The dean is like a middle manager. They are not the university leadership. The actual leadership is the president and board of trustees and the legions of administrators who create and enforce policies. They are not faculty or if they once were like the president and some other upper level positions, they left that path a long time ago.

They care about things like the US News and World Report rankings, and if students are failing classes and it starts hurting their graduation rate and hurting their ranking, they put a stop to it.

I'm eager to dive into the design systems, definitely coming. But first, I wanted this release to prove Nue isn’t just for ‘hobby projects,’ a label plain website generators often get stuck with. This SPA demo was key—showing how working closer to web standards really shines for complex apps, not just simple sites.
As the previous commenter said - you don't need a new runtime instance per button, so the comparison doesn't really work (for the smallest binary size, you could provide a native application doing the bare minimum to display the UI too, if the platform has an OS-provided UI framework).

It's still a neat toolkit, since not every website needs a big framework - but comparing runtime sizes is like choosing C over C++ because a `int main() { printf("Hello World\n"); }` binary is smaller.
Agreed, verbally asking for X might make it easier for Aunt "where's the Any key" Tillie to get a solution, but it doesn't necessarily give a better solution for everyone else.

Or, for that matter, solutions you can trust. Remember the pitch for Amazon Dash buttons, where you press it and it maybe-reorders a product for delivery, instantly and sight-unseen? What if the price changed? What if it's not exactly the same product anymore? Wait, did someone else already press it? Maybe I can get a better deal? etc.

Actually, that spurs a random thought: Perhaps some of these smart-speaker ordering pitches land differently if someone is in a socioeconomic class where they're already accustomed to such tasks being done competently by human office-assistants, nannies, etc. Their default expectation might be higher, and they won't need to invest time pinching pennies like the rest of us.

Oh no! Your browser probably decided to clean up the RAM or something. I'm not sure if there's a way for the page to "ask" the platform not to clean it, perhaps I could simulate user input. Will research this later.

I'm just trying to express the idea that "it's obviously us who are the good guys and them who are the bad guys" applies equally to both sides.

Yes, this is exactly it. For things that I do rarely, I would love to have a working natural language interface because I know what I want to do, but I don't know how to do it. Even if there were more efficient ways to achieve my goal, since I do not know what they are, the inefficiencies of a natural language interface do not matter to me.

In this sense, natural language interfaces are more powerful search features rather than a replacement for other types of interfaces.
If you’re asking whether multiple recorders were active at the same time, then yes, we had recorders at 98 different locations over four years, primarily during the summer months. However, these locations were far apart, so no two recorders captured the same exact area.
Well, containers have some other uses cases. Running old software not supported by latest Linux distros is one of them. MySQL 5.7 series cannot be installed on latest Linuxes cleanly for quite a while now. Containers are godsend for situations like this.

I can see why you’d need software to calculate comp, if your comp system is so complex!

As a case study in simplicity: our sales people get 1xMRR for each deal closed, or 2xMRR if the deal signs an annual contract. SDRs get a flat amount for each demo sat (doesn’t have to close, but does have to be accepted by the AE). The amount is equivalent to 0.75xMRR for a typical customer.

That’s really all you need in SaaS. This has scaled from less than 1M ARR through to… more than 100x bigger than when it started.
> As the global tech research company forecasts worldwide generative AI (GenAI) spending will reach $644 billion in 2025, up around 76 percent from 2024

I’m having a hard time squaring the number $644 billion and the phrase “extinction phase.”

I don’t believe their actual estimate of GenAI spending but if it’s even in the same ballpark as the real value, that’s not an extinction.

Stop Syncing Everything
> I have no issue with "consent or pay".

I have an issue with control over my browser. If you are sending me bytes, I am and should be free to render it as I see fit. If you send me bytes containing your product, you should understand this. If you want me to pay for your product, then place it behind an actual paywall. Don't offer the product together with some instructions that show commercials. I won't look at them, and no reasonable argument will make me.

I have no issue with paywalls and paying. I have an issue with attempting to control how I render what your webserver sends me.

Unfortunately the general population trusts what Republicans say about immigration. And this seem to give them a carte blanche apparently.

The boring and likely true answer is that the US has always been at least a bit fascistic. As every state. (As every official brings their own biases, which then shows up as errors in the workings of the state, which then leads to injustices, and so on.) There was always a lot of "fuck yeah America" which many times meant fuck anyone else. And initially America only meant white America, right? This doublespeak is not new. (Immigration quotas and disenfranchisement of various ethnic groups is not new. Redlining affected anyone non-white.)

Now as the culture, the zeitgeist, jurisprudence and laws are regressing (to some mean?) the US is becoming a lot more fascistic.
This is great - I've actually started building something similar myself a few months ago.

The Scott Trust established its editorial line as "liberal" (in the UK, not the US sense) and it's generally hewed to that. Despite occasional flashes of appearing radical it's an establishment, social liberal paper that believes in slow reform.

Yes, and they threw Assange under the bus too, after being one of the papers working with Wikileaks on the original cablegate revelations. It was one of their own journalists, Luke Harding, that originally exposed the unredacted cables from Afghanistan and Iraq by publishing the password to the encrypted file containing them as a chapter heading of a book he wrote on the episode. That's what forced Assange to publish the unredacted cables in the first place, so that the informants mentioned in there would know what information about them was insecure. (Apparently the file had been shared around a bit, but the information was secure as long as the password wasn't public)

The Guardian (and Luke Harding especially) have never really come clean about this, which is grating since publishing the unredacted cables is the ostensible reason for Assange's decade-long persecution and imprisonment, and the Guardian essentially followed the establishment line over this period, arguably then being complicit in the persecution of Assange for something which Harding was really responsible for.

Of course, the primary reason for Assange's persecution wasn't the release of the material per se, but to discourage him and others from further exposing govt crimes.
