i hope there's someone at Meta who still thinks Nazis and wannabe nazis are bad and advocates for down weighting their stupid rants in the algo. but the evidence seems to be the opposite.
And yet, that's part of the influence younger gens on your workplace - the pronouns. So which is it?
Re:EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member' on Thursday September 17, 2026 @10:47AM (#49741628)
ok, but Carney has always said it's better than being continually threatened and betrayed by Americans. He's right. I agree that it'll be hard to be beneficial to the EU and Canada, will take decades, but the cost of doing nothing is higher. And people are forgetting this isn't just economic but there's security aspects as well.

but it is compared to the US. It's not perfect or ideal but like... you can freely move to a place in the EU that's better for you?
True enough. The diversity + under-delivering was just a refreshing change for the valley to again fool themselves into being clever again.
This another way to say it's "played out". the thing is, whatever feels meh now is the next California, so it's never obvious. it starts small and gain momentum and network effects like a snowball rolling down a hill, with a chance or chances of getting stuck.
no they can't. After J6, it was over. America did nothing. the coddling of white fragility is too strong.
they do to the extent they don't want to be eaten. Sure they can retire to their fortified bunkers but that's more insurance than it is a way of life they want to promote.
America voted for this.
America voted for this.

People don't understand ppm like they do temperature units. These rebreathed stickers can help drive home the point. Especially when the next respiratory virus season rolls around. https://naltic.com/product/aranet4-rebreathed-percentage-sti...

You will take ~ 1000 breaths per meeting hour. really gross!

Re:Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI? on Saturday June 06, 2026 @01:35PM (#48427130)
Are they? Seems plenty of AI pilled to me. What they don't care for are the bs narratives and can see through the CEO excuses for axing jobs because of it.
that is literally the way. these maga law breakers need accountability. They got off scott free for j6. we're still fighting the civil war and white fragility because they suffered no consequences the last time.
the broligarchs are gonna love Americans shooting up their precious robots when the time comes. it'll be a pastime of serfdom.
Re:Claude Design on Saturday April 18, 2026 @10:35AM (#47816245)
absolutely no shame, it's good engineering. it's not even about homogeneity, it's about recognizability and lowering cognitive load for your users who, let's face it, don't give a fuck about how hard you worked on the UI they just want to do what they need and return their attention to the 99% of stuff that is not-your-app. That's their normal.

the busting will come from the token consumers. so many disasters waiting to happen.
French is a lot more American in terms of doing the right thing than the Americans like to think they are (or really, propagandize they are).
ultimately people want choice. not forced ways of working. not sure why companies don't get this.
Re:Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package on Thursday March 12, 2026 @05:24PM (#47357325)
sure, and it doesn't work when everyone knows how to value stats that contribute to wins. Back then, they didn't do so equally. you could go bargain hunting and come out on top.
i never said everyone with opposing political views has them out of racism, i'm saying it just plays well. Way too many of the white voting share went to the eating cats and dog racism that we saw play out. Cuz it works. That is america.
Biden admin was leaps better than this crap we have but he didn't assuage white fragility - that's the republican brand.

just having strict control over context management in session is a nice differentiator. Shared tooling between desktop and cli and is nice too. they've differentiated enough.

Re:I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has ignited a passion again on Saturday March 07, 2026 @10:11AM (#47288338)
For me, coding since the 80s (but i knew then it didn't spark joy or anything - debugging was so annoying, learning new language syntax even more so...) I love AI. I am a product manager, i just see freedom to make things that are real and learn faster - does this solve a problem? Is it better than what we have now? and move on, disposing of things as i go because it's cheap. To fill the minutes, i might work on 3-4 or even 5 separate projects and even multiple worktrees within those. I feel busier than ever. I think the best part is it's not lazy and I am. There's so many things I don't have time or energy to go deep on that I can delegate. I'm jealous of real sw engineers because it's probably a huge force multiplier, while I can't call BS on it as much, but getting better.

because that doesn't increase shareholder value, at least in the short term, which is all anyone cares about now.

well it's a cult, after all.
