  • RSS feeds are beginning to break once xslt support begins being dropped by browsers soon

  • Chrome's team argues that because only about 0.02% of page loads use XSLT, it's not worth the maintenance burden.

    Surely given the volume of browser usage, 0.02% is still a very substantial amount of usage. Lazy fucks

    Is it true that the education system is crap in America?

  • Quality is highly variable by region, and within region by wealth of the area for public schools. Then, there are also private schools in the mix for even deeper opt-in segregation by wealth

    How serious will the problems be in the future if people rely too much on AI or can't work and live without them at all?

  • Yes it is. Anthropomorphizing LLMs is stupid but that's not what is happening here...

  • if you build a standard and no one follows it. then it’s wasted time and money. Meta, Google and Microsoft

    Google, Microsoft, and Apple also already account for the vast majority of desktop OS installations

    the issue is, VPNs hide your ISPs assigned IP. till now there has been a higher difficulty in differentiating traffic from the same IP with similar metadata. the more user specific metadata that’s added, the easier it is to differentiate devices and users.

    And you think that the data they get being "is an adult" or "is a child we're not allowed to collect data on", per the API part of the specification is useful for that?

    If Microsoft and Google are also angling for this why is it only meta lobbying?

    I think meta has some scheme to profit from this stuff, possibly also at the expense of Google, Microsoft, Apple in addition to consumers.

  • Mandating thing like this by law is bad. But having a standard on its own is not.

    I agree with this. Here's where it gets weird. All these bills stem from meta lobbying. Why do they regulation in this specific thing when they're totally capable of forming a standard committee or something with Microsoft and Google?

  • Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive

  • Jensen compared today’s AI tools to machinery that was invented during the industrial revolution

    They really want this to be an apt comparison and it's really not

    Edit

    It seems that the Nvidia CEO isn’t the only one investing in AI tokens for his employees to freely use.

    They also really want to talk about tokens like they're some kind of currency

  • The puzzle didn't disappear; it moved to a higher level of abstraction.

    LLMs aren't a layer of abstraction. An abstraction allows you to pretend there is nothing under it (except when it leaks). LLM coding is more like having a pair of hands that you control indirectly and aren't innately aware of what was been produced.

    LLM coding assistants produce faster results whether anyone is being paid or not,

    This is still not true when you account for externalities such as that the "faster" people haven't taken the time to actually understand what they've submitted and have produced more tech debt.

  • fear of losing your job is a powerful source of motivation

    I just feel good when things I make are good so I try to make them good. Fear is a terrible motivator for quality
