And then Jabber came to fix it by introducing an open protocol, and Google started supporting it, and all was well. Then when everybody was using Google Chat they severed the Jabber compatibility, locking everyone in to their platform. Now we’re back wading around in enshittified shit and Jabber is dead.
Only because bugs are defined as errors in implementation details. You can still have errors in your design (sometimes referred to as design bugs).
It’s not about “entrusting” to AI any more than I would be entrusting important code to a junior developer to just go off and push to production on his own. We still have code review, pair programming etc. As I said, I read the output code, point out issues with it, and in the end make manual adjustments to fit what I want. It’s just a way of building up the bulk of the code more quickly and then you refine it.
I’ll confess I only skimmed the article, but it seems like just a bunch of unsubstantiated opinions and I don’t buy it.
Using AI generated code is like pair programming with a junior programmer. You tell the junior what to do and then you correct their mistakes by telling them how to do better. In my experience, explaining things to someone else makes you better at your craft. Typically this cycle includes me changing the code manually at the end, and then possibly feeding it back to ChatGPT for another cycle of changes.
Apart from letting me realize and test my ideas quicker, this allows me to raise the abstraction level of my thinking. I can spend more time on architecture and on seeing the bigger picture, and less time being blinded by the nitty gritty details. I would say it makes me both a faster and a better programmer.
I found that the most impractical thing with these was that the user interface for selecting songs was typically “you have 200 songs and I’m gonna play them in sequence, if you want a particular song you must skip ahead until you hear it”. It worked for a 12-track audio CD, but felt like an underdeveloped toy feature when used with MP3:s.
Well maybe many of those communities are actually filled with 14 year olds

Global warming is already achieving that goal. It’s a self-regulating system.
Not exactly what you’re asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It’s increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside. Possibly the best horror game I’ve played.
Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.
Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.
You know what? I don’t care and I stopped reading this article after one paragraph because I found that I couldn’t be bothered to go on. During the reddit exodus I was pissed off about how they would ruin something good, but I’ve long since lost interest in what happens on that site. Honestly I was a tiny bit surprised that it still exists. Like who the heck goes there still?
I’m 98% sure you can still log in again, it just invalidates the access token that Reddit has received from Google. The effect is that when you log in next time you end up at Google’s authorization screen where you have to explicitly give Reddit access again.
I suspect the user content is the root of the problem. 500 hours of video is being uploaded every minute. YouTube has to transcode and store everything, and be ready to stream it at a moment’s notice, even though the vast majority of videos probably get only a handful of views (if any). That’s a lot of unused resources that have to be paid for by subscribers and advertisers.
If they were to charge just a little for uploads then content creators would be more inclined to consider whether their upload is of interest to anyone else, and that might take away a lot of the waste.
Woah. I just cancelled my subscription last week because it’s too expensive, and now they raise the prices further. Guess they really don’t want me back.
In the security page on Google’s account site there is a card with the title “Your connections to third-party apps & services”. Go there, click “See all connections” and click Reddit. From here you can remove access for Reddit and/or delete all connections between your Google account and Reddit.
I don’t know how these guys didn’t get a Darwin award yet
AI still needs a lot of parallelism but has low latency requirements. That makes it ideal for a large expansion card instead of putting it directly on the CPU die.
Eating the crispy chicken while thinking of the people who burned alive
It was promoted to me as a contender for Slack / IRC, not for the kind of direct messaging app that ICQ / MSN messenger was.
