its the most downloaded but they churn users quite a bit

i come at this from the perspective of appreciating blogs like this, but damn are these thought experiments exhausting.

many love to learn and always will (even without the expectation of capital), love to seek out new people, experience new cultures, and so on. Some fantastical AI won’t change that, even assuming UBI came with it (as if)

this feels reasonable. for communities like r/selfhosted there has been an influx of new projects, many of which initially get dismissed. this more generous attitude can likely go a long way.

unfortunately though pgrust appears to be at best misleading, at worst vibeslop: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/pull/2165 hacknews thread isn’t much prettier either https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50205816

yeah its kinda disconcerting. notably the “i could totally prove their innocence if i wanted to” portion of the footnote

thats most of OPs work i’ve seen (just learned about him today), whilst under the guise of “centrism”

you can't attribute all of it, but you can attribute most of it.

I don’t think being unbothered is unchallenging/stagnating? You can have solo hobbies that push you. I hate suburbs and car-based societies as much as the next person, but being left alone doesn’t feel like the underlying problem.

There are definitely ways of integration testing and e2e testing dependencies. I think it’s reasonable to wonder why creating a new VCS was chosen as the best solution.

I think part of the concern is around “could it be better”? Like if an elite athlete eats junk food all the time. Sure it’s working, but is it because of the candy? Anthropic is often criticized for their poor UI/UX. The models are undeniably powerful but the packaging is typically poor. This is not to drift into the conversation of profitability either, to be clear.

i.e. rich or rich

agreed, even more-so with the higher-tier universities

journalists, and the rest of us to an extent, really need to stop engaging with these AI companies on their terms. The consciousness debate of LLMs is ridiculous and doesn’t deserve discourse over other more important topics (economical, ecological, societal)

I mean the correlation is money. Rich people being outraged
