The difference is that person who loved tending to horses had no delusions they were mot out of a job and their horse tending would just be a hobby with few exceptions. They didn’t complain trucks sucked and couldn’t do the job of hauling p

I see it as those who learn to use AI effectively are seeing massive benefits. Those that haven't seen those benefits are still skeptical. Someone who's seen the benfits, knows, with proof, the benefits exist. They're like Co

I agree with you. rust solves a real problem. It makes it much harder to create a large class of bugs, bugs that are in most C and C++ projects (and many other languages). Sure, maybe rusteans have bad attitudes. Not sure that's true b

When has technology ever stopped? I remember being told copper wires would never go above 2400 bps. I see people here saying 4G is all they need, sounds an awful lot like "640k is all you need". You have no idea what the future ho

Yes, a lot of HN commenters are disconnected from reality. The reality is this issue existed for 15 years and there's been no issue. But here, HNers are freaking out like it's the end of the world and WebGL and WebGPU must be bann

Complaining about AI is just a meme. There are tons of things that use way more energy for arguably way less utility to humans.

I just see it as tool. Used to be you had to calculate things by hand on paper. Then we got calculators, then spreadsheets. Complaining that by hand was better seems line nonsense. I'm old enough to have taken typing lessons in high sc

I'm not sure I'm convinced. If splitting the UI is useful then it feels like you should just let me choose to split it even on a single display rather than deciding for me. My laptop has a display aspect similar to a folding phone

I'm not disagreeing with you but there tons of cities with 250k to 10 million people with great transportation options. Amsterdam : 1m Antwerp : 0.6m Brussels : 1.2m Barcelona : 1.7m Copenhagen : 0.7m

A user doesn't need to know anything other than "when I go to site XYZ.com my computer freezes. Guess I won't go there again" > I think this point of view is making it a bit too easy. It's been 15 years since thi

WebGPU provides ZERO extra data that wasn't already available from WebGL in 2011. The world didn't end and it's been 15 years

that's because they don't hav any security relevance.

This has been around since 2011 when WebGL shipped. It's documented in the spec. It's a self correcting problem. You go to a site, it freezes your machine, you never visit the site again. No data is stolen, no privacy is lost. All

Lived without that for 5000yrs, don't need it now. It provides nothing except people no longer able to speak freely for fear. It's enabling a panopticon.

I agree with this but not just React, React-Native. There's many libraries I no longer have a need for. I've made several JS 3d apps just asking the LLM to write the 3D code from scratch. AFAICT they usually shed 2meg of library a

It's not illegal for you to remember, it's illegal for you to record. There's a difference. For me, I don't want to live in a world where if I say something embarrassing or not well thought out, someone pushes a button a

They wouldn't be charged 3-5% if Visa and Mastercard weren't a duopoly. In countries where they aren't there are 10-20 competitors that charge way way less.

I found the AVP UI work to be bad honestly. I walked right up to a surface to touch it, you can't. Holding my eyes still so it registers what I'm looking at, not what I'm touching, was horrible and super unintuitive.

You just ignored the previous point. You linked to the audio never getting recorded or leaving the device. The previous post said the transcription of that audio leave that part of the device. They must, otherwise they could not be displaye

Why does the 15 seconds matter? My conversations with friends would be vastly different if I knew at any second they could push a button and get a transcript of what we just said. I'd pretty much never make a joke again.
