> In other words, is it possible to not battle with AI trying to get it what we want? Were you forced to do this by your employer, or was this entirely self-inflicted?

if you work in company with lots of AI generated code, then you can't handle it without AI usage anymore..

> How exactly can you provide impartial, objective reporting when you cant afford the salaries?

you provide free service, build brand and ecosystem, and charge for extra services, e.g. automatic-monitoring specific news topic, analytics, faster delivery on scale, etc. and even ads/ads free accounts

Your link refers to lots of different contexts,cherry picking one of them which you failed to cite to win your nit-picking argument is not productive, because it is just not agreeable.

Also, your link specifically starts with:

""a hybrid association of government elements and parts of top-level industry and finance that is effectively able to govern the United States without reference to the consent of the governed as expressed through the formal political process."

which exactly how this was defined by your opponent.

> Before Java got virtual threads in Project Loom, people were typically using some promises equivalent even though it mangled the heck out of all your code

I think majority Java code is just sequential blocking code, and it works just fine.

> Want to build a web app, every more or less popular framework is async.

I think its the same as Java, Tomcat has some async threadpool inside, they just hide it from you, and your favorite rust framework doesn't, you need manually move your sync logic to Tokio spawn_blocking

You can control chrome tabs, e.g. autosuspend, close them, etc, you can't control MacOS RAM footprint.

8GB of RAM for MacOS is a concern. ChromeOS is probably more RAM efficient..
