There was indeed a lot of blockchain bullshit, but Bitcoin had and still has its usefulness. Though not necessarily for you and many others.

Well, it's called Hacker News after all :-)

Since you can configure it with a 16TB SSD, I wonder, is it QLC or did Apple manage to make it TLC?

Because it's hard to trust something. After all that's why you trust a brand more than others without trying all the products every single time. You can thank all the AI slop and kool aid promotion for the lack of confidence.

I don't find it tangential. If AI is so good with complicated software, it can deal with a simple website, right? Or then maybe it's not that great.

By the way, I'm still waiting for Meta and Google do something about Instagram and Chrome so that my CPU usage doesn't go to the roof. They're front runners in the AI race, so it should be easy for them, right?

Isn't Anthropic on some sort of a blacklist?

Good to know since I was thinking of using it as an access point.

You misunderstood me. I wasn't saying they didn't break the law, I honestly have no idea if they did. I was only saying that some people like the law because it makes people/companies which they hate (possibly for valid reasons) suffer. In other words they like only the sentence.

If you are talking about judges, prosecutors or sheriffs I could understand your opinion, but we're talking about a political function here.

How many people are using those AI slopware reimplementations? If only a few, I think the "traditional" companies will be safe for a while.

Why are you saying it will be way better when American companies asked their government to hit the breaks?

This sounds like one:

    C++ leads to really really bad design choices. You invariably start using
    the "nice" library features of the language like STL and Boost and other 
    total and utter crap, that may "help" you program, but causes:
    
     - infinite amounts of pain when they don't work (and anybody who tells me 
       that STL and especially Boost are stable and portable is just so full 
       of BS that it's not even funny)
    
     - inefficient abstracted programming models where two years down the road 
       you notice that some abstraction wasn't very efficient, but now all 
       your code depends on all the nice object models around it, and you 
       cannot fix it without rewriting your app.
