I understand the confusion, but isn't this kind of similar to asking does the iPhone 14 Max beat the iPhone 16 Mini? At least with phones there are hard specs we can use to compare, but in a lot of cases the answer will be "it depends"

Somehow I was able to place a pin in Quebec, which resulted in a ray of 2058 miles to the USA northwest

I did immediately consider setting up a prediction market willpayfornoreasonpayout.com

It doesn't even need to be government-run, we just need the right incentives. I've seen proposals for making some kind of data loss insurance mandatory to compensate victims. The insurance companies would then conduct audits which determine the premiums for the company, and investigate for negligence after a breach.

Edit: Thinking more about it, this would probably also be positive for security investigators. If a company is stonewalling you and ignoring a legitimate bug report, you now have the option to escalate this to the insurer. Maybe they could even facilitate bug bounty programs for smaller companies

The argument is that Silksong will completely absorb any potential market for you new indie game had during that period. People will be too busy playing another game, leading to poor numbers during launch. It's hard to recover from that.

The problem is that technology exponentially increases the negative effects of bad actors. The worst a sociopath could do in the stone age was ruin his local community; while today there are many more dystopian alternatives.

I don't think this is unique to code, but a limitation of filesystems in general. You could make the same argument for photos: I want them sorted by date, by tag, by person in the image, by location.

I can do this in Lightroom or my "Photo" app, but then you are always reliant on some third-party tool. It would be nice if there was some native way for files to not have to commit to a single hierarchy, but able to switch views on the fly (without it being insanely slow for larger amount of files).

By explicitly being obviously a scam, scammers can preselect for the most gullible people

Quite some years back I worked with JetBrains MPS which used a "projectional editor" instead of a text editor. It was pretty neat to be able to enter "code" as mathematical expressions, or even state machine tables or flow diagrams with actual nodes instead of a text representation.

Sadly not much has happened in that space since then, but it was cool to think about what our tools of the future might look like. (of course ignoring all the practical reasons why we're probably still using regular text files in 100 years)

As a secondary effect it kind of is; the general assumption still is that the slop-generating AI will need a lot of power to train, so there is surprisingly a lot more private investment into fusion and fission innovation in recent years.

Training was considered to be "bad sportmanship" in the early days of soccer, when it was amateur gentlemen sport clubs playing against each other.

The "install -y" pattern is kind of similar. Various tools have as a default that it gives a list of packages that would be installed, and then ask for confirmation.
