Devasta

Sorry, I'm using this one; they'll need to pick another.

Anything less than a jail cell is less than the top brass of Meta deserve.

It is wild to look back at XHTML and see that the W3C were entirely correct about XML. They envisaged a world of schemas, client side templating, custom elements, dynamic forms, the works.

Alas, for laughably bad reasons we had to scrap all that for HTML5, Javascript and CSS; a stack so awful that most devs doing anything on the frontend immediately scramble to React, TypeScript, Tailwind, whatever it takes to avoid the underlying garbage.

A horrid state of affairs that will only get worse as time goes on.

Why would planned obsolescence not be to their benefit in a world where things are rented?

You still renting the old Xbox? Try renting this new Xbox instead, the verification cans come in additional flavors!

Anything that doesn't have Zuckerberg and the rest of the top brass in a gulag the rest of their lives doesn't go far enough.

If I were to get one of these, realistically what is the most advanced AI model I could run locally?

> How about we give the US credit for this?

If it weren't for the huge efforts put into it by china to make solar and batteries so cheap and capable we wouldn't be nearly as far along in the solar transition as we are. Solar is growing in spite of US policy, not because of it.

How their leadership are able to be so incompetent to mismanage their site constantly yet still have the aptitude to corral a legion of mods to spend their days working for free for a multi-billion dollar corporation is beyond me.

I can get volunteering to mod for a small fan site and the like, but no site deserves your effort less than reddit.

Why would Iran want Trump dead in such a foolhardy way? If you assassinate him you galvanize the US in its resolve while removing the bozo at the top?

The US has lost, Iran controls the strait now and forever; the longer Trump is in the greater the loss will be.

Enjoy it while it lasts; it'll never be this cool again.

If they want to pay me to not build wind farms, I'll not build them for half that.

Someone who likes Shakespeare is going to be able to talk about what they like about Shakespeare, his impact on language, his works, and so on.

Someone who likes Austen is going to be able to talk about the themes of the books, how funny Pride and Prejudice is, maybe how Jane Austen's position in society informed her works, etc.

How is anyone going to be able to do the same for an AI generated book? "Reading book 894 from batch 60 of the Booktron V2.46.01 collection was formitive for me, it was very reminiscent of the early works from the Automatic Grammatizator." Is this really a discussion we expect will be had in schools, or in any art discussion? Absolutely not.

... Is that so difficult to imagine?

> There will come a time, very soon, where you wont be able to tell the difference, and what then?

We'll stop buying new books, sticking to things written before 2022.
