Just add video and a better voip endpoint to existing setups and you're already there. A lot of scams can be (and are) run by a small handful of people now. Phishing at scale with stuff like fake tracking links etc. is already fully automated by people in a ton of ways and can definitely handle some back-and-forth over sms/whatsapp/whatever.

Is "hiding" in the sense that you just need to have read the docs or know how the language works at a pretty basic level really a problem, or even a negative? I would certainly say that the readability and clarity on the form of loop being used is a bigger win, either way.

It's just... Very robotic and clearly generated, makes random inhuman pitch shifts, etc.. Very alien overall.

This voice is awful, possibly one of the worst AI/computer voices I have heard in like two years now - what's up with that? Is this seriously the best a company burning this much money can do, and they consider this acceptable to release? Like two syllables in and my first response was to grimace and physically cringe. Does anyone here think this sounds good, or even just "fine enough"?

Do engineers that work on this for long periods of time stop seeing the forest for the trees and think this could be mistaken as human? I'm saying this as someone that assumes all narration/most VO work will be fully AI fairly soon (for better or worse.)...

Unacceptable for who? It's definitely more than acceptable for a lot of people.

Far from the richest by capita, average income, PPP average income, mean/median household wealth, etc., which feels like what we're actually talking about here. A lot of countries in the EU/Europe that would make the US look far worse, no?

Either way, no, if unions don't reduce how much people make and provide stronger worker's rights, protection from corporate abuse, workplace safety, collective bargaining for things like holidays, you can think it doesn't change your take-home at all and pretty undeniably see the benefits. How many weeks of legally mandated paid time off do you get, and how many additional days do you get on top of that as a median worker in the US? :b

You'd similarly factor in comparable medical insurance/ avg. out of pocket medical expenses, taxes etc. for a median income earner the other side then, right? At median income, does that really tilt the scales much when all is said and done?

As in you can subtract it from your taxable income, I assume. I think it's fairly normal (in this part of the world*).

Doesn't that make using the MIT license a dark pattern by itself?

I think you are heavily underestimating the level of contempt he has built towards Americans and the US in the last month or two. I don't think Europeans, certainly not Scandinavians, will forget this for decades. This isn't like some random normal boycott-type movement that goes viral, I legitimately think Americans are teetering on being persona non grata as a people unless they prove they've divorced themselves from the mess at home.

It might be manipulating people at home, but you're closer (still not close, obviously) to Russia than Sweden as far as a trustworthy business partner or ally now. We're suddenly not making any long term plans that rely on America or American companies where it's avoidable, I don't know if you understand how big of a shift that is.

Data storage has gotten cheaper and more efficient/manageable every year for decades, yet people seem content with having less storage than a mid-range desktop from a decade and a half ago, split between their phone and laptop, and leaving everything else to the "> cloud" - I wouldn't be so sure we're going to see people reach for technological independence this time either.

When you say chaining, do you mean autoboxing primitives? PHP can definitely do things like `foo()->bar()?->baz()`, but you'd have to wrap an array/string yourself instead of the methods being pulled from a `prototype` to use it there.

Cursor also does this.

Sorry, maybe/probably should have clarified I meant a different medication - meant to comment more on the general utility.

If I miss the dosing window by more than an hour or so it'll either ruin my sleep or ruin my day after lunch, I have responsibilities and can easily lose track of time for an hour or two while working or in meetings, so the iOS medication reminders are very useful to me personally, at least.

edit: though if I remember or see the initial reminder and log it, it obviously won't go off with sound. If it pings, I've basically always already forgotten.

> Those who "dislike Musk" usually cannot come up with any solid example of what he has done to deserve the hate.

If this is a genuine belief you have, I think you need to break out of your echo chambers a lot more.

I assume you've seen it, but Screeps was(/is?) a very enjoyable game to play around with for the programming-strategy/RTS blend.

Calling a guy a pedophile repeatedly because you made yourself look stupid getting excited about your cool submarine and how awesome everyone will think you are when you save some kids wasn't really worth much money either. I don't think Musk has the self-control to think like that, honestly.

That looks more like a git alias than a job for an entirely new tool, to me. How many of the core functions do you really need to cover before `jj` itself becomes redundant?

Doesn't apply to all situations, but "replace things that were done by humans" in arts can absolutely be a loss by itself. Making graphics/speech/video a commodity doesn't replace designers, voice actors, or directors, but we've definitely see it can directly harm them and the people that enjoy their work.

> can't find better things to do, such that it makes them poorer, or anti-social its a loss

I feel like this misses the point a bit - lost income/sustainability for artists is obviously a big issue we'll be facing, but looking for a performance indicator in an artistic endeavour doesn't really get you anywhere. There's more ways to value a painting than "what the market would pay" and "potential heat output as firewood", right?
