That’s why we switched, on both closed- and open-source projects. There’s just no winning an argument that puts you on the same side as racists.

At one point I was considering how, if someone asked on one of our public repos, I’d say “no” but at the same time post a receipt for a donation to the NAACP just to prove I wasn’t racist. Thankfully I realized how stupid an idea that was before it came to that.

Performative wokeness is a cancer, man. Did any of this arguing and vitriol actually help any marginalized group in STEM? I really fucking doubt it.

No information on the 9000 series, why? Kinda sus.

Imagine how many emergency room visits could be avoided every year if they just taught this in sex ed class.

Kinder, the Brookings fellow, said she worries that companies soon will simply eliminate the entire bottom rung of the career ladder.

What the fuck do they think is gonna happen when the current seniors start to retire? Are they just betting that AI is gonna be good enough to replace all of them then?

Cue all these companies in 5-20 years’ time having to completely rewrite their software stacks because they have no fucking clue how any of it works anymore.

There’s a starving furry artist out there who would jump at the chance to take your commission.

He didn’t drain the swamp, he just added overt facism and called it gazpacho.

The article is full of typos, too.

Who let this dreck out the door? Did Forbes lay off all their editors or what?

I downloaded the demo last night. It’s pretty fun but definitely rough around the edges. I hope the developer is amenable to feedback.

I’ve found that demos can be a double-edged sword.

I picked up the demo for A Bumpy Ride after watching a YouTuber play it. I really enjoyed it, but it only lets you play for one in-game day so there’s only so many times you can do that without progressing before it gets old. I still find myself jonesing to play it but I can’t really do anything but wait for the full game to come out.

Instantly wishlisted. My inner child is screaming with delight. I’ve wanted a game like this for literal decades.

I’d try to build machines and industrial flows in falling sand games but never be able to manage anything much more complex than distilling saltwater because of the limitations of the game.

You made your bed, now lie in it.

It’s still using the Blink engine, so it only provides an illusion of competition just like all other Chromium-based browsers.

If the web becomes nothing but Chromium, then Google can dictate web standards as they see fit.

And don’t count on Apple to save you, either. WebKit’s monopoly over browsing on iOS is slowly being eroded by anti-trust rulings. The first browser most people will install when they have a choice is Google Chrome.

Ditching Firefox entirely because of a few missteps by Mozilla is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

That’s what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim’s addresses isn’t enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

And ofc the original paper is paywalled.

It’s probably just regurgitating stuff from a paper from 2017 that no one paid attention to.

Which has value in itself, I guess. It’s just intellectually dishonest to say the AI came up with the solution.

As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.
