throwaway69123··on Get Ready for Touch on Mac
I agree with you 100%, however I think this will be a game changer in productivity for device testing (ipad/iphone etc and all different screen sizes) no longer need to do device testing till the last step for touch based features. other than that its not great imo.
throwaway69123··on We should be more ambitious with the software we build
> BTW; in many cases, if you use AI to speed up some flow, you will add a bunch of messy code that will be overfit for the use case you tested on and will neither generalize

Be careful to not frame this as a feature of AI and not a feature of the approach people have taken that you have observed, it doesnt have to be this way.

throwaway69123··on The bridge to agent-scale Git infrastructure
These changes seem to be correlated with huge instability. Is the instability caused by the increased use? Seems unlikely given the nature of some of the issues we have experienced. Or is it related to this move to azure infra under the guise of capacity but in reality, a longer term eating of github into the Microsoft mothership.

throwaway69123··on Show HN: Ex Situ – Open-source spatial index of displaced cultural artifacts
stolen and removed from the country before they could destroy it, then later people can complain about someone else having it because surviving artifacts in the origin country are rare. the moral outrage is proportional to the ever-increasing rarity.

throwaway69123··on Canada plans 'nuclear renaissance' with up to 10 reactors built by 2040
when you're comparing on a cost basis are you amortizing the cost of the nuclear power plant over the multiple lifetime cycles of PV+Battery as the nuclear power plant will outlast many such cycles, nuclear plants if maintained can effectively last forever.
throwaway69123··on Musk-Trump dispute includes threats to SpaceX contracts
how do explain other governments funding efforts to copy spacex without success, its easy to hand wave away peoples efforts and achievements with hindsight
throwaway69123··on Musk-Trump dispute includes threats to SpaceX contracts
enjoy the snap reaction brain drain as entrepreneurs move their efforts offshore, people are being disingenuous by saying its as simple as deciding to nationalise a company everyone said would fail and who china and Europe are desperately trying to emulate, all over retaliatory statements, be careful what sort of government behaviour you normalise because you happen to be on the winning side of that behaviour, seasons change
throwaway69123··on High tariffs become 'real' with our first $36K bill
the same places they work now, displacing foreign workers shouldn’t effect American workers?

if the goods are made and exported from American factories the owners of those factories will be increasing the local, state and federal tax bases, how is that not an improvement over offshoring production?

workers are currently being screwed by globalist companies offshoring production and also using that as a way to offshore profits also, i doubt any workers will shed tears if that stops.

socialism as you described is fine, not sure how its relevant in this case, its perfectly legal to start coops and they exist even in the tech world, most people dont seek them out and it appears they underperform their peers, where are all the major coop tech companies?

throwaway69123··on I wouldn't get into a Tesla Robotaxi
surely this doesnt account for the robotaxi coverage, seriously doubt the robot taxis will support the same coverage as a tesla does (everything) most likely be limited to major cities youd imagine?
throwaway69123··on It doesn't cost much to improve someone's life
as a foreigner to the us i am investing heavily in the us, there is a pathway where the legal and social changes could result in considerable economic benefit over the next two years. you should consider how that could occur before waving it off ideologically. i am coming from an investment point of view and am largely agnostic of the politics.

throwaway69123··on An all-optical general-purpose CPU and optical computer architecture
While this is true doesn’t ignore the difference in clock rate capacity ? If the photonic cpu can run 10,000x the clock rate without the extreme heat build up that would melt the smartphone

If your using other wars as a comparison like this what was the journalist per capita and have you adjusted for the prewar ratio per capita also. This seems like ham fisted attempts at statistics otherwise
