And think about it.. Because they're so large, Index funds are buying at most 1 year after going public.

The average investor has been lulled into feeling the index is riskless.

I suggest everyone to find a video online by their choice of podcaster interviewing Mike Green to learn more

Completely agree, but I don't see how much _value_ these new users will get out of it..

Businesses are extracting value now - for the average user I see it as a convenience that they will pick the cheapest provider for..

It's a race to the bottom for most as there's not a major differentiator.

I think that even worse is that AI might choose just to write something, and skip using a library that is well maintained

This may be a side conversation, but wondered how far away we are to a small LLM being prompted to turn itself into a worm that uses all exploits it knows, and prompts other LLM's when it has access.

What do they do with the brine when they fill it back up with oil?

And do they use fresh water?

Yes.. Add the term transgender and obviously it needs to go.

I don't know the specifics, but i'm sure it's like canceling (and calling) a hospital in a small town a trans clinic because they happen to have a trans patient

Being trans, I feel this so much.

On a side note, it was interesting after Trump was elected where some of my co-workers wanted to use old pronouns after some laws changed _in meetings_ and I realized the only thing stopping them was the awkwardness it would have been for _them_ in that situation

They're using the analogy of mining for gold. the cost of a shovel/pitchfork goes up when the price of gold goes down - which is a double whammy

I don't see it as adding fuel to the fire. I see it as helping the market price companies correctly

So we get so worked up over this stuff, and for good reason. But personally I'm taking another stance...

let them..

It's not my choice to make someone understand what's best for an individual or as a group. Let them make these decisions, and learn for themselves. Will this cause issues where I am at risk of getting measles? Or that kids could get sick over non pasteurized milk? yes, but we're back in a place where people have to feel the pain.

That's not to judge, or belittle or put anyone down. There's people who have views and values that conflict and that's OK.. Even if it's not the best for us a whole.

I'm right there with you, and to be honest Lua just works. I helped with Neovim when it started ~10 years ago, and didn't understand the big deal about implementing lua.. But now that it's here, I can't believe it wasn't forked and implemented sooner
