No serious company wants their key users to log into a platform with their personal accounts, this would be a security nightmare and asking for trouble

You just opened a huge nostalgia portal, never thought that Dreamweaver would still be around, I used that somewhere around 2003 I believe. Good memories

The two of you might simply talking about different locations. This article seems very US focused, but in europe third places still exist, and it seems the US is having a severe decline in those.

I'd argue crypto casinos (pump.fun comes to mind) would not work without stablecoins because no one would back them with real dollars.

One point is missing for me - you get lazy. People are less and less equiped to think about complex problems the more they RELY on this for coding. Also this article is just about coding.

Depends on the context - in a scripting language where you have some kind of console you just don't copy all lines, and see what each pipe does one after another. This is pretty straight forward. (Not talking about compiled code though)

More big money swooping up journalism, what could go wrong.

From a "neutral" perspective it gives them legitimacy From a "maximalist" perspective it gives you access to government From a "scammer" perspective it gets you tax dollars and average Joes

If your sycophants eat everything you'll throw at them there won't be any need for justification. Which completely baffles me. The US digital technology sector seems to be full of yes man and groupthink, and it's getting worse.

In this context Project Blinkenlights in Germany should be mentioned. They are using big buildings and illuminate the windows to create some kind of public pixelart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blinkenlights

cacophony = chaos, so a lot of mixed opinions that don't really make sense would achieve just that. I would not expect thought out and stringent discussion from throwing a bunch of bots at every discussion

We were a group of 5 and there were 3 separate presales for public. We all got tickets and it worked out pretty decently, like last year.

This is not a culture thing imo, being honest and transparent makes you vulnerable to exploits, which is often a bad thing for the ones being honest and transparent in a high competition area.

How is what you think they say not clear?

We present GameNGen, the first game engine powered entirely by a neural model that enables real-time interaction with a complex environment over long trajectories at high quality.
