I didn't think LLMs will make us more stupid, we were already scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Only Srouji would be a real loss. Not that they wouldn't feel the loss of the others, but more of a 'never mind' than an 'oh no'.

Is it AI, or is it being run by people entirely divorced from the founder's vision?

Isn't he one of the first ass clowns to start laying people off, replaced by AI.

Another empty suit.

But we should be concerned shouldn't we? These people are exempt from laws, they and their presecessors made, for which they will happily condemn the common person and profit again when you pay for your crime.

They should be more accountable, not less.

AI is a net negative fnyor anyone not in on the grift.

I suppose it's the problem with AI in general. It's an interesting technology looking for a business model that just isn't there, at least not one that comes even close to justifying the cost.

I hate the fact that it has sucked all the oxygen from the room and enabled an entirely new cadre of grifters all of whom will escape accountability when it unfolds.

Enshittification doesn't just happen to products!!

Who TF thought this was a good idea?

Deliver a first class, lean operating system and then layer user space enhancements as requested.

Are they trying to make Linux desktop happen?

I'd encourage people to consider Chromebooks but I'm not sure Google deserves any more praise.

I don't disagree but I'll take a marginal improvement over none.

I'm not saying Steve Jobs is turning in his grave, i'm saying it's like Cirque de Soleil in there.

There are far too few people who truly advocate for the user, and it is this dereliction that has fuelled the race to the bottom.

It's not a matter of native libraries versus x-platform solutions versus W3, it's about valuing UX over DX at EVERY TURN. It's about educating yourself as to the resource and performance consequence of the technologies you are advocating for.

Yes, provided the performance is sustainable rather than making a number this qtr or next.

It can't be perfect right? I mean the models require some level of entropy?

hard for me to argue with your point but if the understanding is that cancellation causes early return of the function, then i suppose the signature is, eerrr, consistent?

To the extent that it will affect ONLY my opinion of the language I reserve judgement, but prima facie, I'm a little worried that this will prove to be a distraction.

If the language didn't have a std implementation of async/await, would it affect your decision to use Xig? Or are you comfortable with traditional multithreaded facilities to the extent that you require concurrency (and parallelism)?

I always wonder if the people responsible for the over-hiring are on the block? My personal experience suggests not.

This seems counter intuitive.

All nflix da should require is the interfaces outer needs.

Network stack CODECS CRYPTO stack (DRM)

The OS seems irrelevant.

I mean sure you worked be limited to whatever interface a browser could provide.

It's not as if certification of a certain operating system means anything other than the certificate.

Netflix used play4sure beck in my days at Apple, and literally t out was a tick box for them to assure the content owners they had DRM.

Nobody certified apple's netflix app for ATV back then, I know, Ben Lee and I wrote it...

We desperately need OS research, exokernels should be a thing by now, at least then the question becomes moot.

Windows, (alphabet)OS, Linux and BSD all provide operating systems that enable productive work but there's a lot of cruft
