Common sense proposed the lab leak. Was absurd and scary how easily it was dismissed in pretty much the entire Western media, not only the US. Even this forum got subjected to it.

There is also an aspect where it goes from science to policy, and there is this step where certain parts of society simple state: "how dare you think you know better then x, who studied y for x amount of year, or this scientist".

It happens here too. During Covid, also here the lab leak theory was talked as a crazy non-scientific conspiracy.

Yeah you can perform the trick yourself, but these all are about male parts somehow.

You are describing corporate red tape for your organization. Those things were already possible before the cloud hype of last 5-8 years.

Anyway the point is also not that cloud didn't solve any issues but that by solving 1 issue, you get 5 new issues, and you solve one of those and you get again 5 new ones. And the loop keeps going endlessly.

Good luck! Dont mean to discourage, if people end up meeting in real life would be wonderful.

There are meetups on all kinds of topics all over the world that are free to attend.

If you crave social connections, but dont know how to make them, you havent learned a coreskill for being a human and there are much deeper issues, such as depression, at play. Would be time to look at therapy or other more structural solutions.

An app won't solve your social & community issues.

It's offering to make a food-recipe, in there is the assumption that it's eatable.

If you are asking to make a recipe of a bike & sand, it should simply say not possible.

Im not saying you shouldn't launch, or call it a fun or experimental tool, but to just disclaimer your way out of things is too easy.

Not really of course. Should make eatable dishes with correct nutritional value, if thats what you are offering.

Not to marginalize your idea, but an app is also just a surface level solution. A quick fix, not useless, but not longterm.

Isn't the traditional solution not just to pick up some hobby's, go out, some cultural events?

It's not easy at times, but especially at events with shared interests it's normally easiest to connect to like minded people, and those connection have a chance of lasting.

I love how we just build complexity upon complexity. A tool for all the problems that this new tool gave that was solving all these other tools. A never ending mountain of complexity. In that sense coding (and hosting) is like the law. The entire ecosystem will just keep expanding in complexity decade by decade

Yeah but those screenshots are mostly fake probably. This one is hosted on openai.

Breakthroughs are exciting; hoping it's true!

But I understand nothing of this field

What's the general consensus here, real or not?

I think main issue is that react is easy to integrate with node, next etc. But python, php (laravel) etc. cant just run react-dom on the server. However would be interesting to see react-dom builders for php & python that would allow you to user react as a templating language in Laravel & Django.

Repetition can definitely cause big issues.

Most of time you want business logic in the same place. In a big & old codebase it can be very hard to fix things if there are multiple places.

But certain things can be easily repeated.
