How many examples do we need of the Trump administration doing some illegal move then getting slapped down by the courts? This would be a slam dunk for DoorDash. That they chose to capitulate instead is damning.

For sure. It was an acquisition, though.

The users that comment aren’t thrilled. Don’t mistake that for the user base in general. (though don’t completely disregard them either, they’re power users)

I can only speak for myself but suggestions for ingredient substitutions (if they’re good, which is the crucial part!) would be a really useful feature for me.

This quote feels illustrative:

> “The internet is full of AI cooking content. I pay you because I prefer mine done by people.”

From my reading of it they’re not using AI to make recipes. Just to add optional features that let you modify a recipe a human made. It feels telling that they’re not even engaging with what the new feature is.

Except that movies don’t replace video games. They’re entirely different mediums.

January 2025 isn’t even two years ago yet. When you’re talking about giant companies going public you want to be looking at significantly longer timescales than that.

That's a problem already solved by having a lower refresh rate, though. You can't get extra battery drain from 120hz when your device can only achieve 60hz.

Feels like being asked to invest in IBM just as other manufacturers started releasing the first PC compatible machines.

Immediate term Anthropic, OpenAI rule the roost. But this is a very new technology and open models are already looking good. They’ll only get better. Is it realistic to think Anthropic will stay ahead of them enough to justify the valuation they’re asking for?

Their financials are an utter mess. But they’re also hyped enough that a lot of money will get invested in them. Should they crash a lot of money will be lost.

> Gerrymandering doesn’t change the fact that the voters decide the results.

Well it does change which voters decide the results. A lot of electoral systems seek to constantly redress imbalance by having impartial bodies redraw district lines as populations shift. It is a shame the US does not. Gerrymandering is fundamentally undemocratic.

I have sympathy for the users of these subs. I imagine you’d want to come to /r/opensource to discuss the code. The whys, the hows. When the answer every time is “because that’s what Claude chose” it’s not going to make for interesting discussions.

I see the opposite: the OP cherry picked the weakest of a long list of examples. The other reactions you’re seeing in the thread are based on all the discoveries, not just that one.

It’s disappointing to see it upvoted to the top of the thread. Seems many people are looking to dismiss the issue rather than fully consider it.

Wouldn’t the price increases on consoles also affect PCs? GPUs aren’t exactly cheap right now.

> This means it's harder and harder to say "here's a unique experience you only get on Xbox" (or Playstation for that matter)

That’s also been the case for a very long time. That’s why they sign deals for exclusives.

> They are politically and societally paralyzed from building even basic things like datacenters

The only reason the US is not paralyzed is because the government is completely disregarding the views of voters on the topic. I struggle to see that as better.

(before someone says it: yes, I think the anti-data center sentiment is overblown. But the answer is convincing voters of why it’s good, not ignoring them)

But the alternative is another monopolistic tech giant. There is no viable third platform. So I agree with OP, the answer is breaking them up.

> the sheer amount of complexity it would add to web renderers doesn't seem commensurate with how useful it would be.

Why? The browser is effectively already rendering HTML in a “canvas”, via tiled rendering etc. This isn’t a whole new rendering path, just a redirection of the existing one.

You’re right. But the treat was having a hobby that was also professional development. People in other industries have to take courses, study through dreary textbooks… I got to do something I enjoy and get professional benefit. That’s the shine we’re rapidly losing.

It’s worth noting that the CSS Painting API exists and allows you to use JS functions:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSS_Paintin...

It’s Chrome only though.

Part of me feels like naming them functions was a mistake. The other part things screw it, the haters are going to complain no matter what you do.

Read the article again and really focus every time the word “interop” appears.

But it isn’t? The functions discussed in the article are not connected to JS at all.

The stuff in this article is created by the CSS Working Group. The stuff you want would not be handled by them.

> Who needs ways to reliably trigger the display of the touch platform-native keyboard, to be notified if it is displayed and to move the input field in view so it is not obscured by the keyboard?

Sounds like you need window.visualViewport: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/VisualViewp...

> The mobile web contains two viewports, the layout viewport and the visual viewport. The layout viewport covers all the elements on a page and the visual viewport is what is actually visible on the screen. When the user pinch-zooms into the page, the visual viewport shrinks but the layout viewport is unchanged. User-interface features like the on-screen keyboard (OSK) can shrink the visual viewport without affecting the layout viewport.

That would mean some shitty load times for even the most basic web site.

But there is probably a world where what you’re describing is possible with WASM and Canvas. Would need to solve for accessibility though.

Not just. There’s also the issue of complexity. And JS is considerably more complex. Just think of all the APIs that are immediately available at runtime in JS, for one. It takes up far more memory and CPU cycles to initialize, the language itself is much more complex…

It requires a lot… but a lot less than JS. The awkward declarative nature of it is a side effect of wanting it to parseable at speed.

At an initial look I agree with you that the functions look very awkward. But I thought the same about CSS variables until I started using them and now I think they’re great so I’ll keep an open mind. I almost wonder if they would have been better off calling them “templates”, or something. “Functions” is going to make people think it’s just like JS.

Because JavaScript requires… a lot. A virtual machine, script parsing, etc. Making that a requirement before you even display any content on the page would be a regression.

I’m part of the seeming minority that really enjoys working with CSS. And the way I use it today is so different than I did a few years back, e.g CSS modules, declaring a palette with variables then changing it for dark mode… it’s genuinely great to work with.

CSS modules ought to make it possible. But it’s more or less impossible with regular CSS, you have no idea when a class/ID might be used.

Flagging downranks the entry so it disappears quickly off the homepage. As indeed happened in this case.

So, Starlink is a national security risk. Worth noting.

Be glad you saw this thread before it is inevitably flagged from the site, despite clearly being relevant.

Very few spam/scam posts I see rely on external links. FB is an all in one scammers paradise. This just seems like a transparent attempt to keep people on platform.
