<p>If you are using quality as a metric then something having more quality would mean it having more value to more people. So a piece of software working 95% of the time to 1 mil users is deemed "of higher quality" by this metric than a piece of software working 100% of the time to 1k users. I don't think this definition for quality is good at all</p>

<p>You can inject "secret sauce" through your domain knowledge or life experience.<p>You <i>could</i> vibe code the "tedium" out of your app with little to no care about it using AI while paying close attention to the critical aspects of your product. Of course, the fact that all of your AI code usage is being monitored by the company that provides you the model/harness is also still means they can just steal your product whenever they want<p>Stricter use would remove the primary benefit while not really giving much upside so I don't think companies will move in this direction</p>

<p>The meaningful difference is that you will not experience EOS if (when) anthropic/openai/etc fails to become profitable and is no longer subsidized by capital funding.<p>While "vibe-coded" apps do help lots of people who didnt have the time/money/skills to create their projects, you should be aware that currently the compute is being subsidized so that users become reliant/used to the service.</p>

<p>> This is not intended to stigmatize any specific industry, but rather to capture a snapshot of public opinion. Some industries may appear harmless at first glance, while their broader societal impact is often overlooked.<p>This is so funny because simply by including an industry there is an attempt to sort it into signs of a failing of society. 
It's borderline performance art when you are asked to choose if "dating apps" are worse than the industry that makes bombs and chemical weapons which kill thousands of people daily</p>

<p>>  subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue.
Isn't the whole point of arxiv to be somewhere you post your low-reviewed/unpublished/prepublished papers? doesnt this somewhat defeat the point and basically means a lifetime ban?</p>

<p>Its so silly to see people actually believe the EU is a real sovereign body. The only thing unifying various nationalists within the EU is Americas dominance in the global market and their opposition to it. An EU freed from American (and Chinese) political and market pressures will eventually lead to their various nationalists turning their anger towards whoever gets to sit on top of the EU (probably germany) and fracturing the union. The only other thing uniting "us" all is racism towards black and arab people.</p>

<p>> It is worth noting that despite all this cheap sovereignty talk from Brazil’s president, in practice Brazil would not be able to operate Pix at that scale without heavily relying on American hyperscalers companies.<p>> American companies are great to do business with.<p>US officials involving themselves in your national market because they are unhappy with the market share of their companies in it, with the implicit threat of stopping other areas of trade if you dont allow the companies to gain a larger market share makes US companies too untrustworthy to do business with. If Trump implements a trade ban for Brazil, will these hyperscalers continue providing the service at their own risk, or are they going to prioritize their state over their customers? 
I would assume the answer will be the latter.
Given that, I believe it is in Brazil's (and most other states) best interest to divest and reduce partnerships with companies operating in the US</p>

<p>Yes, this is the real problem when USians and Europeans complain about FOSS/OS safety. They understand deeply that the FOSS system is an extension of US soft power using the tech sector and any indication that the existence of FOSS is a threat to the US' interests means that it's values must be destroyed because these people don't really believe in the things they say they do</p>

Wouldnt this information allow for the authorities to just go to Stripe and ask the relevant information there? Sure, you don't store exact personally identifying info, but you store a breadcrumb that can lead whoever has the power to request that information to trace back to the end user</p>

<p>I am the only person in my 10 person team that prefers the cli for stuff like git and while the ratio was a little more balanced during my time at college, it was still skewed towards GUIs. I don't think its unreasonable to think that developers might prefer GUIs over CLI</p>

<p>Russia (supposedly) wants Ukraine because of the ever growing presence of NATO at its doorstep. EU aligning itself with BRICS would probably come with breaking away from NATO. However, I don't think this is the real reason Russia wants Ukraine and I don't think they could be persuaded into giving it up for the sake of bringing EU in. 
But it would be a way that EU would choose to align itself with China, which would diffuse this particular situation</p>

<p>Remember seeing the news of the nationalization a few days back and combined with the newly imposed limits on mineral exports towards the US it feels like the EU will finally have to fully decide if their allegiance will lie with China (BRICS) or the US going forward.<p>I think the Ukraine war is going to be the thing that tips the scale unless peace and return of land is negotiated as part of EU aligning itself with BRICS. Makes me think that the US could purposefully delay peace talks to win over EU?<p>The future will be really interesting. With the AWS outage yesterday the reliance on US for infrastructure is once again called into question. Could a new subspace within the internet be formed as the EU tries to break away?</p>
