They have. Even during the congressional hearings on the subject they were talking about and referencing many already fully debunked UAP sighting footage

People play video games for many different reasons. As someone who plays them to experience human craftsmanship and creativity (some call it art), I'm not at all interested in playing a game created with AI. People are free to see it differently, but I'm sure I'm not alone.

I guess the logistics of prescribing an entire population of anything is expensive, and overkill when people can supplement it in pills or diet, or just go outside more.

New comment by Tubelord in "What Killed Perl?"

My impression was experienced Perl programmers took pride in making the smallest code possible, all in one line.

At my company they really locked in the project being dead if the original contributors left.

Perl propped up regex (JavaScript regex is based off of it), so I get the impression Perl practitioners tried to make all the code regex-y as possible as a cultural thing.

New comment by Tubelord in "Ask HN: How does one build large front end apps without a framework like React?"

I learned React before hooks. Came from a mostly forgotten framework called ExtJS that used base JavaScript classes, so it was an easy transition.

Class based React is great. My old projects are cleanly structured, but harder to change. Class based React also lacks the composability you get with hooks.

Pascal’s wager applied to tech cycles. The fervent adherence to the hype is akin to religious zealots in many ways

Yes, this post ironically makes me more bearish

Training models on so much AI-generated content will certainly lead to diminishing quality.

Really? Very hot take. Can you link one AI song that has moderate popularity that they might be shuffling people to?

Stock market is too illogical. Seems like a dip buy opportunity every time.

I bet companies even buyback after these dips.

This resource has a good recommendation on how session lifetimes should work.

Roughly, that it should continue for 30 days if used within 30 days.

Despite it being around long enough, virtually no Spanish native speakers have adopted it. In fact, they've flat out rejected it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx#Reception

I'm casually browsing but closed it when I saw latinx (not a real word).
