Linux namespaces and Nix closures solve different problems at different stages of the software lifecycle. Namespaces isolate running processes; Nix closures guarantee build-time determinism and reproducibility across systems.

Namespaces don’t track transitive dependencies, guarantee reproducible builds, enable rollback, or let you deploy an exact closure elsewhere. They’re sandboxing tools—not package management or infra-as-code.

If anything, the two are complementary. You can use Nix to build a system with a precise closure, and namespaces to sandbox it further. But calling namespaces a "more complete solution" is like calling syscall filtering a replacement for source control.

Also, minor historical nit: most namespaces existed by the late 2000s; Nix’s whitepaper was written after that. So the premise isn’t even chronologically correct.

If you’re really good at what you do, there’s no need to embellish. Company is looking for five years of experience in something that’s only been available for four years? Screw ‘em, you don’t want to work at such a stupid place anyway. Good employers know how to find good employees.

If ai exacerbates culture issues and management incompetence then that is an inherent downside of ai.

There is a bunch of programmers who like ai, but as the article shows, programmers are not the only people subjected to ai in the workplace. If you're an artist, you've taken a job that has crap pay and stability for the amount of training you put in, and the only reason you do it is because you like the actual content of the job (physically making art). There is obviously no upside to ai for those people, and this focus on the managers' or developers' perspective is myopic.
And there just plain are jobs you can't automate, some tasks are too delicate or varying for a machine to reliably.

Plus someone has to design that stuff, you have a hiring pool of literal millions of people in China from which to pick the best fit to design your physical widget.
No formal benchmarks yet—but just from our own tests, OpenAI's computer use model has generally done a better job than Anthropic's, especially at locating the right click targets and coordinates. We're definitely planning a more thorough comparison soon, though! Curious if anyone else has noticed differences in these computer use models? Would love to swap notes! :)

That's interesting. Aren't there examples in nature where a species essentially destroys itself? There are many on the population level. Plants often do this, its called succession.

There's a layer to this, where natural also implies good and unnatural implies bad. For example, plastic is bad because it is unnatural, but arguing it is natural after all somehow makes it good (that is the rhetoric I believe). This depends on the notion of a 'natural order', whether that is some vague concept of 'the universe' or of God himself. Anything against that order is bad and unnatural. Humans are part of that order.

Of course, that is very pre-modern idea. I believe what comes close to a useful definition of natural would be something like 'emergent' or 'spontaneous', as opposed to deliberately designed. Its a quality you could also ascribe to, for example, cities or software systems. You don't need the human/nature split for it to be useful. It is not exactly capturing what people think of as natural, but then again we also do not believe in God anymore - by and large. At least not in the way we used to.

How’s basing the US economy on services looking now?

My brother is an extremely skilled machinist, the sort who could build machine tools if he had the resources. And let me tell you there ain’t many of them, especially not young ones. Why? Because the US has emphasized college as the only respectable education path, as well as the only path to well paid jobs. That’s how you end up with a manufacturing industry full of lazy knuckleheads (and believe me I’ve got the stories to back this assertion).

Someone told me about Tailwind last week on IRC, and I literally do not see the point of writing class="font-bold" versus style="font-weight:bold;" especially if the former means you have to add a whole bunch more complexity to your build process (and to have a build process at all).

I wrote my website in C, so I don't know about this modern web process stuff.
True, but that doesn't mitigate the problem I have with using LLMs as a search engine replacement. The issue I have is that LLMs "predigest" things and present you with the sources that are relevant to its response.

However, it still blinds you to the larger picture. Providing supporting sources is all well and good, but doesn't help you with the larger view. I want the larger view.

I think this is somewhat beside the point.

Going back to where this started, many people feel uncomfortable consuming products that contain chemicals added by humans/corporations.

Whether or not this concern is fully justified is a fair point to debate. If we could perfectly replicate the ideal strawberry down to the molecular level, said strawberry shouldn’t be a concern, even for people who go out of their way to avoid food additives.

People value diamonds for an entirely different reason. What they value is the narrative behind the diamond. Its (supposed) rareness, and the fact that natural forces produced something beautiful. There are also still echoes of hundreds/thousands of years of culture that placed a high value on them before science could replicate them.

But ultimately I think this is all orthogonal to the strawberry situation. The reasons someone does or does not want to eat a truly perfect strawberry replica will be very different from the reasons someone values a diamond.
FWIW if you're on a trip it might counter-balance: you might be more active with fewer idle time, and the local food might also be harder to fully process. I saw that on a Spain trip where it made absolutely no sense I didn't gain weight touring tapas places for a week.
"AI" is just a trick to circumvent the copyright laws that are the main brake in writing quickly programs.

The "AI" generated code is just code extracted from various sources used for training, which could not be used by a human programmer because most likely they would have copyrights incompatible with the product for which "AI" is used.

All my life I could have written much faster any commercial software if I had been free to just copy and paste any random code lines coming from open-source libraries and applications, from proprietary programs written for former employers or from various programs written by myself as side projects with my own resources and in my own time, but whose copyrights I am not willing to donate to my current employer, so that I would no longer be able to use in the future my own programs.

I could search and find suitable source code for any current task as fast and with much greater reliability than by prompting an AI application. I am just not permitted to do that by the existing laws, unlike the AI companies.

Already many decades ago, it was claimed that the solution for enhancing programmer productivity is more "code reuse". However "code reuse" has never happened at the scale imagined in the distant past, but not because of technical reasons, but due to the copyright laws, whose purpose is exactly to prevent code reuse.

Now "AI" appears to be the magical solution that can provide "code reuse" at the scale dreamed a half of century ago, by escaping from the copyright constraints.

When writing a program for my personal use, I would never use an AI assistant, because it cannot accelerate my work in any way. For boilerplate code, I use various templates and very smart editor auto-completion, there is no need of any "AI" for that.

On the other hand, when writing a proprietary program, especially for some employer that has stupid copyright rules, e.g. not allowing the use of libraries with different copyrights, even when those copyrights are compatible with the requirements of the product, then I would not hesitate to prompt an AI assistant, in order to get code stripped of copyright, saving thus time over rewriting an equivalent code just for the purpose of enabling it to be copyrighted by the employer.
But why will that happen? If they have robots and AI and all the money, what’s stopping the powers that be from disposing of the excess biomass?

> It seems that we have very different types of businesses in mind. I really didn't consider tracking users and displaying ads, but I also don't think this is where these types of tools would be used.

I wasn't thinking primarily about tracking and ads here either, when it comes to B2B automation. What I meant was e.g. shops automatically scrapping competing stores on a continued basis, to adjust their own prices - a modern version of the old "send your employees incognito to the nearby stores and have them secretly note down prices". Then you also have comparison-shopping (pricing aggregators) sites that are after the same data, too.

And then of course there's automated reviews (reading and writing), trying to improve your standing and/or sabotage competition. There's all kinds of more or less legit business intelligence happening, etc. Then there's wholesale copying of sites (or just their data) for SEO content farms, and... I could go on.

Point being, it's not the people who want to streamline their own work, make access more convenient for themselves, etc. that are the badly-behaving actors and reasons for anti-bot defenses.

> If you have a sales funnel, as in you take orders and ship something to a customer, consumer or business, I almost guarantee you that you can request an API, if the company you want to purchase from is large enough. They'll probably give you the API access for free, or as part of a signup fee and give you access to discounts. Sometimes that API might be an email, or a monthly Excel dump, but it's an API.

The problem from a POV of a regular users like me is, I'm not in this for business directly; the services I use are either too small to bother providing me special APIs, or I am too small for them to care. All I need is to streamline my access patterns to services I already use, perhaps consolidate it with other services (that's what MCP is doing, with LLM being the glue), but otherwise not doing anything disruptive to their operations. And I'm denied that, because... Bots Bad, AI Bad, Also Pay Us For Privilege?

> When we're talking site that purely survive on tracking users and reselling their data, then yes, they aren't going to give you API access. Some sites, like Reddit does offer it I think, but the price is going to be insane, reflecting their unwillingness to interact with users in this way.

Reddit is an interesting case because the changes to their API and 3rd-party client policies happened recently, and clearly in response to the rise of LLMs. A lot of companies suddenly realized the vast troves of user-generated content they host are valuable beyond just building marketing profiles, and now they try to lock it all up in order to extort rent for it.

You don't see a massive difference in the shear number of images that the AI can look at and the speed at which it can imitate it as a fundamental difference between AI and a human copying works or styles?

One of the things I've been appreciating most about LLMs is how they accelerate my exploration of other languages.

I'm fluent in Python and JavaScript, but these days I'm using LLMs to help me get started writing code in AppleScript, Bash, Go, jq, ffmpeg (that command-line interface is practically a programming language just on its own) and more. I'm learning a ton along the way - previously I wouldn't have been able to get up the energy (or time) to climb the initial learning curve for all of those.
Of course not, but I don't rely on the extended file attributes for anything important such that they need to be replicated during copies
It is absolutely terrifying to watch tools like Cursor generate so much code. Maybe not a great analogy, but it feels like driving with Tesla FSD in New Delhi in the middle of rush hour. If you let it run ahead of you, the amount of code to review will be overwhelming. I've also encountered situations where it is unable to pass tests for code it wrote.
My takeaway of the cool dynamic at work here is that universally (but particularly in Japan) no one wants to be seen promoting themselves. Especially for older people they've done so many cool things, and are currently doing cool things now that they're retired and have free time, but socially it's a bit awkward to just ask, what cool and interesting stuff can you tell me about.

And the physical / game medium helps connect intergenerationally as well. But actually I could see this kind of trading card dynamic working in other situations like business networking or speed dating or something.

I’m starting to suspect you are arguing in bad faith. Three hours after you posted this, you posted [1] a sibling thread citing older numbers from the same source. Why did you do that? Over there your narrative was that support for Palestinians weren’t as great as your parent was arguing, so instead of citing this poll from this year, you posted an older poll from 2024 where support for Palestinians weren’t as great. You knew about this newer poll, but you still choose to post the older one that just so happens to align better with your argument.

Also this poll doesn’t back up what you are saying. These protests are as much anti-israel as they are pro-palestine, and support for Israel has been consistently dwindling. The protests continued throughout 2024 especially leading up to the November election, yet in 2025 support for Palestine was in all time high. Most likely the support dropped in 2024 because the horrors of the 2023 oct 7 terrorist attacks were still in fresh memory, so support for Palestine, which had been steadily increasing, took a momentary dip, but quickly readjusted at an increasing rate as the accusations of the Gaza genocide became ever harder to deny.

> once you send the money it is gone with no contest possible

That's not true; PIX requires your bank to provide a way (called "MED"[1]) for you to request a reversal up to 80 (!) days after a transaction. It can only be used in case of fraud, and it may take up to 7 days for the bank to analyze the situation and deny/allow your request. If it's allowed, you'll get the money back in up to 4 days.

If the bank denies the request (i.e., if they conclude there was no fraud) you can always sue the transaction recipient; you'll have access to all necessary information since they must be registered with some financial institution to be able to receive a PIX transaction.

So it's not as easy as a credit card, but I think it's fair for a free payment service.

I agree with the basic premise of your argument. The reason why I dislike certain products like Apple's is because of my professional background in electronics. But the way you presented it is definitely not the way to do it - flipping people off most certainly won't convince people to reconsider their ways. Instead, if people could see the economic and environmental damage cause by such consumerism in person, I'm sure that many would have a change of heart. It just doesn't hit you until you see for yourself what you're contributing to.
> * American companies dominate payment systems.

Which ones? I can't name a single American one that "dominates". Maybe that's just my perspective but the American payment systems feel decades behind.

It's an interesting point that passion-jobs that creatives take on (including game dev) tend to get paid less, and where the thrilling component is disrupted there could be less incentive to bother entering the field.
