This is not true. Otherwise, why is open source licensing so popular? Have you simply never read those licenses?

Depending on who you ask, those same topics are considered distractions from any other topic including each other.

What you're really describing is the attention bottleneck in a western democratic society where everybody wants the world to see things their way. That's the wrong mindset for democracy to work. If you want people to believe something it's simple: don't be wrong. Don't be vague and don't be misleading. Stop assuming the opposing side is stupid. Just speak clearly.

We really should blame ourselves for coming to every discussion with trivially incorrect arguments. People are so lazy these days. Slacktivism and terrorism used to be the extremes reserved for the ignorant. We used to shame and mock those people.

Plenty of data becomes stale almost immediately. Plenty of data sources can be owned, but they also tend to be people.

The noscript tag is just a way to conditionally display some HTML. There's no reason to avoid using it unless you are deeply entrenched in a pseudoreligious fight against javascript.

It really is just whining.

> didn't have the same budgets, tools, and browsers as today, where you couldn't seamlessly enhance the site how you can now

I'm sorry, but... what?

The author answered their own question. In even the best effort case, noscript is the fallback.

I'm not even sure what they expect the website maintainer to do for most of that list. If they knew themselves, they would have put it in the blog post. Is this instead a call to draft new w3c specs or revisions? What am I misunderstanding? For a site that has "hacktivism" in the domain name, whining like this is a bad look.

Yes, we all know LLMs can't write code worth a shit unless the dev guiding it knows exactly what they need.

You're the one insisting we don't type fast enough to keep up with competition. I am saying coding is not typing and problem solving is trivially easy if you already have experience solving those problems. Hence my original question.

There's never been anything slow about writing code even long before LLMs. The slow part is figuring out what you need to do. LLMs don't help you there.

That leaves two possibilities: either another AI winter comes as people fail to capture long term value, or we get less swampy models that are much more useful and trained the correct way.

Immediately, the music is way over the top. I had to turn down the volume and hope I wasn't missing out on anything important. I do get that it tries to set a mood, but without some flavor text or other introduction it feels incongruous to what is being presented.

Then, I found that the instructions given are very tool-oriented instead of goal-oriented. If I understood why I'm doing what I'm being asked to do I'd be a lot more motivated to keep going. Instead I'm being given a tour of "what all the buttons do". Meanwhile, I can't really see any of the tooltips/labels that pop up because my fingers are in the way.

Without some more polish, this feels more like a "take your kids to work day" simulator than a submarine warfare simulator. It's a bit of a shame because I am a fan of the simulator genre.

I was actually just about to comment that it's surprising how few accidents we've heard about from a facility like that.

Either they're doing an amazing job, or they have a great lid on it despite all that want to see them fail.

Huh? Do you mean people "building a startup" without any experience at all? The list of tasks in the comment you're replying to are well within the skillset of any software engineer that has that old job description classic "3 to 5 years experience".

Not to be rude, but if the code is the hard part for anyone, they never had a chance at the rest of it either.

Would you prefer the alcoholic media moguls of the democrats? I didn't want to reply, but this was too funny to ignore.

As painful as it's been to watch, above all else I think what Trump has done is open people's eyes to their own biases. Hopefully we can heal and do better.

Web 2.0 was Yahoo Pipes, public APIs, IFTTT, etc. while this new "Web 3.0" acknowledges that those capabilities would rather be gatekept behind AI instead of entirely removed.

At the very least we do get some of that functionality back without resorting to scraping anymore and it's now accessible to the layperson. I would think this would nudge the layperson to demand more and inevitably want the actual data without the training wheels or sandboxes. Is that not a "good" thing?

Is the pushback against this out of genuine concern or just ideological?

Trump complaints function much better as a dogwhistle, so that's what they are. Everyone is very tired of them regardless of political stance. At this point, observing a lack of complaints won't mean anything other than someone catching their breath.

I think there's something critical being lost in younger people who have never been exposed to the bad old ways and only understand their current situation through memes. We need to get a grip here.
