I don't recall encountering these issues. What framework was that on?

It's a better argument than the Datastar supporter's.

AI summaries are great for learning which parts of the codebase are load bearing.

"This tutorial walks through building a simple Single Page Application using Cro as the backend. For the frontend, we'll use webpack, ES6, React and Redux. "

Webpack? Who wants to build something with webpack these days?

(Criticism of React omitted for brevity)

Why do people benchmark these things on image generation? Surely that is not what most people here are using them for...

Yes, but it's nothing like winter further from the equator. It's a lovely time of year in that part of the world.

for i in 1 ... 5 { sum = sum + i }

Means "for 1 to 4". Kill me now.

The loss of the slider switch still breaks my heart. It is my most loved feature on the phone.

Who is saying 16yos shouldn't have phones though?

It's got nothing to do with the hemisphere.

Most likely the aircon is running less in winter so they don't use as much power. There is not much of a winter in the tropics.

> If you have free speech in front of children in public I don't see how having infinite scroll on your website or app is any different.

Have you seen many people mindlessly watching people talk in public for hours on end? When a plane lands, people aren't zombified listening to another passenger talk, they're zombified doom scrolling on tic-tok etc.

"A third staffer working on the 8th floor told POLITICO on Friday that even with working AC, the temperature inside was still 25.7 degrees."

I set my AC to 26 degrees. Otherwise it feels too cold.

Boggles the mind that people can't see this. You gotta keep the guardrails pretty tight to succeed with LLMs and code in my experience.
