- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 23 hours ago:
Yes, contemporary economy and free markets are so imaginary now that cascading effects and bubble pops like 2008 are very unlikely. American stock market in particular is so far off reality (even before AI boom) that it’s basically a video game with no actual relevancy to true gross product.

Ah yes “the stoopit west har har” propaganda lol

Unpopular opinion but this will not as bad as housing bubble and we’re way past bubbles actually popping in contemporary economy. Even China corrected for its massive ghost city housing bubble just recently and that was actually worse than ai tech overvaluation.

What a way to say the same thing but differently, well done.

Cause tech illiterate people need as much friction removed as possible.
- Comment on Mastodon: Our ideas about Packs 6 days ago:
I really don’t understand the point of packs when Mastodon has hashtag follows. Mastodon is already winning in terms of discovery here and in fact I still don’t use Bluesky because its impossible to discover content there.
On Bluesky you get a pack of people but in linear timelines the power spammers just take over and then you have to do all that personal curation anyway but it’s often even a worse starting point than just blank slate. With hashtag following I just subscribe to #fediverse and discover new content and creators organically.
Instead I’d like to see Mastodon commit more to organic discovery rather than consolidation of power users by expanding post classification system like using AI classification that attaches topic hashtags to posts etc to help users discover content they actually want to see not follow personalities.

Sorry dude just tired of this defeatism online and even if voting with your wallet doesn’t work we never collectively manage to even test it. Just exhausting. Maybe youre right maybe it doesn’t work and it’s stupid but the bigger point is that people just don’t put effort into it.

You’re a dec and use PWAs on ios and don’t know that you can’t even get push notifications? There’s no web bluetooth, no web nfc, no background sync, 50-100mb storage limit, no background processes, no service workers.

ah good ol Cynicism. Might as well find yourself a giant pot to live in while they’re still available!

Defeatist subservient take

Except PWAs are heavily limited on apple devices so Apple could get that 30% cut.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 week ago:
I code with LLMs every day as a senior developer but agents are mostly a big lie. LLMs are great for information index and rubber duck chats which already is incredible feaute of the century but agents are fundamentally bad. Even for Python they are intern-level bad. I was just trying the new Claude and instead of using Python’s pathlib.Path it reinvented its own file system path utils and pathlib is not even some new Python feature - it has been de facto way to manage paths for at least 3 years now.
That being said when prompted in great detail with exact instructions agents can be useful but thats not what being sold here.

- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
honestly it seems like we’re kinda in agreement here
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
I live in remote locations as a digital nomad and this would never really work. The maintenance overhead of even normal ground wind turbines is too much for remote areas. Solar and battery storage is really unbeatable.
Some new generation wind turbines can be decent ive heard but there are also small novel solutions like mini water turbines can be surprisingly useful.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
Basically every other option will almost always be better, no? I guess we’ll see as someone actually brings some of these to the market but my guess would be that this is not going to go anywhere.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
Well maybe its a dead end then. You’ll have regular use of highly inefficient alternative with a huge maintenance overhead just because an emergency might happen some day?
Cool tech but entirely impractical and probably will never be deployed at any scale higher than a demo.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
The one you posted is not for scaling either. I just dont see how this maintenance overhead could ever scale for mass use.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
The article literally says its for earthquake relief which absolutely makes sense. The lines are down and power is needed for emergecy operations and I can see how this would be useful.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
This is intended as emergency power relief not a full time energy source.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
I like how everyone conveniently leaves out the part that this is an emergency backup not actual full time scalable tool.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 weeks ago:
Yes but does Cloudflare provide you detailed metrics of who and when was denied access to the website? They just tap themselves on the back and admins are blindly losing customers without even knowing.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 weeks ago:
Not sure what does have to do with the fact that cf providers no metrics of false positives but sure.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 weeks ago:
You control the score but not how its calculated. My score is incredibly high just because I’m on Linux with Firefox - how important is that to you as an e-commerse site admin?
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 weeks ago:
The control is very limited unless you’re enterprise subscriber and even then CF is super sneaky and doesnt actually report the real world. I had a few clients where they were clearly suffering losses due to cf implementation (you could literally see sales dip when cf is enabled) but they didnt believe me because cf dashboard doesn’t report false positives or anything of that sort and they had no in house analytics to really understand the issue.

Gendered language is stupid and antiquated and I say this as a native speaker of a gendered language. It’s just such a poor communication design.
