<p>I mean I don't have anything against go, but frankly - it's not really <i>better</i> then modern Java.<p>Each have their trade-offs, both can support native compiled application code. Some architectures are easier to review and code in golang, but others go much better with Javas richer ecosystem and better composability.</p>

<p>Reading your quote really gets me wondering who the people making those kinds of analysis are...<p>It's like they haven't maintained any actual software, because the criteria they choose is... Completely irrelevant?<p>The things that matter are tooling, orchestration and ecosystem - as well as how the LLM will actually implement the solution for a task<p>LLMs constantly do idiotic things. If you have good libraries to utilize, the likelihood of the solution actually working goes up because they no longer need to implement the hard part.<p>If you have orchestration for dependency injection, code generation, meta analysis etc<p>Tooling like the way otel tracing is integrated, openapi generation etc is also invaluable because every time the LLM does something the likelihood of it being hallucinated/wrong increases etc<p>You'd need to implement a nontrivial project in different languages, then add nontrivial features across them and only then start by rating eg correctness and incident occurrence after the final output<p>But token use on a one shot? Completely irrelevant as far as I see it.</p>

<p>I understood this comment chain to be about the technology archetype of smart glasses with cameras in them, not about Meta glasses.<p>If it was about the latter then I'd agree that there is no usecase for them</p>

<p>I think eg police and military personnel should be required to wear cameras while on duty <i>and interacting with people</i>
(So not during their whole shift, but whenever they're knowingly entering an interaction)<p>This may be a body camera or a camera built into glasses. That is a very legit usecase as far as I'm concerned.<p>There are other professions in which such a device would be a net benefit, that was just a simple example.</p>

<p>I think you didn't understand what I was trying to say.<p>Fraunhofer didn't do licencing before joining up with Thomson. That's why - back in the 90s - there were no litigation anywhere even though everyone ignored their patents.<p>Then Frauenhofer joined up with Thomson and that's where your understanding joins up with reality: now the Frauenhofer does licencing and sues anyone that's not paying them.<p>My whole comment was a technical tidbit - maybe meaningless from today's perspective... But the previous view interpreted a forward thinking strategy with the monetization of mp3 that just wasn't there</p>

<p>Ha, you're misremembering, but it's been a long time so I don't begrudge you.<p>Fraunhofer is a research institution. They didn't really do licencing, that's why they never went after anyone.<p>Then Thomson joined the venture (wouldn't you know it, French!) and the fun with litigation got started<p>Not trying to protect Frauenhofer there at all, if they didn't smell opportunity they wouldn't have teamed up with Thomson after all... But I think the trend is very clear. Germans are generally a lot worse at the litigation game then the french. Historically that makes sense, but it's definitely surprising that it still holds true in modern times</p>

<p>The point was that the definition of <i>insider trading</i> does not extend to politicians buying/selling from their "insider knowledge" as it's not internal business knowledge. Hence it is legal (in Germany) for politicians to buy/sell right before passing laws which influence the valuation of companies.<p>Which I may add: you could've easily found out yourself too if you looked up what I wrote.</p>

<p>Meanwhile in Germany insider trading is completely legal for politicians. Well, not <i>insider trading</i> - but it's definition supposedly doesn't extend beyond internal business information.<p>(At least that's what people keep telling me, im not a lawyer)</p>

<p>> your data can still be forcibly pulled and often without you being aware that this happened<p>as a german i feel the urge to point out that this technically also  applies to european companies...
With more hurdles for the US, but still technically applicable</p>

<p>i actually vividly remember when they started introducing that flow... the first time i came across it was a total knee-jerk negative reaction.
unrelated to that, i switched to windows a few years later (my old imac wasnt good enough to play world of warcraft)... but when i came back to it 10+ years later, it still felt strange.<p>i mean its neat from a minimalism perspective, but the decision to not ship with a regular installation UI in OG macOS X came with the tradeoff of not cleanly _uninstalling_ software either. config files etc were always left over.<p>but i guess - as Apple keeps locking down good old macOS X in favour of forcing software to go through the Apple Store this is going away as a sideeffect?</p>

<p>I don't disagree but I feel like this comment chain kinda implies taking action today would actually meaningfully change the trajectory too...<p>It really doesn't.
Climate change is a global problem. It would need a global solution, and everyone should know that that's beyond unlikely to appear... So the only thing you can do is reduce local pollution - which is meaningful in it's way (better quality of life), but has no long term impact on the climate.</p>
