No, that doesn't make any sense, because the web is not a social media.

Rather than the user doing that "delay" installation, it would be a good idea if the package repository (i.e. NPM) actually enforced something like that.

For example, whenever a new version of a package is released, it's published to the repository but not allowed to be installed for at least 48 hours, and this gives time to any third-party observers to detect a malware early.

This is just stupid, React is not slowing down any innovation, on the contrary, it's a great "tool" that is powering the innovation.

No one is stopping you from making a better frontend framework, but can you? Don't think so.

I don't really find these kind of features necessary.

You can, and probably should, do these things in your application code. I mean, it's not really that hard to make a string lowercase, you don't need to define a "virtual colum" for that...

Yeah, at this point, it's certainly annoying.

But to be fair, this technology is still at an early stage, and we don't know it's limits.

It's scary to imagine a future where the development process in companies is fully handled by AI agents, which are the only ones who can read and maintain the code.

It's not a "group specific" technique.

This is smart, but not really unusual.

You forgot to credit the AI who helped you generate this project in a couple of hours ;)

Yeah, it's an over exaggeration to say "impossibly small", it's a pretty normal size for a minimal routing class...

Because a lot of apple fanboys everywhere, they'd rather blame the whole web than the shitty apple software.

And you're charging $3 to export some dots on top of an image from a basic app that probably takes like 1 hour to make... Ugh, so lame.

It's pointless, it's just a matter of time when AI agents will be able to mimic human behavior exactly (they probably already do, it's just not public).

These tests here are easily bypassable, just adding a random delay somewhere during the action phases to mimic humans, and there's already tools for mimicking human mouse movements.

Yes.

They just need to put out a simple changelog for these model updates, no need to make a big announcement everytime to make it look like it's a whole new thing. And the version numbers are even worse.

Yea, not really. It also writes:

"Some among the machine society see this as potentially amazing...Others see it as a threat."

That sounds like a human society, not machine society.

But what really is a machine society? Or a machine creature? Can they actually "think"?

A machine creature, if it existed, it's behaviour would be totally different from a human, it doesn't seem they would be able to think, but rather calculate, they would do calculation on what they need to do reach the goal it was programmed.

So yes, the article is not exactly logical. But at least, it is thought provoking, and that's good.

Single bill for modern software doesn't make sense economically anymore.

Do you want updates? You want new versions? New features? Support?

Single bill it's like buying an IPhone once and then you expect to get a new one for free each year.

I guess this could be useful in SQL for escaping values, I saw a project on the comments here.

With templates:

  mysql.execute(t"DELETE FROM table WHERE id={id} AND param1={param1}")

Without templates:

  mysql.execute("DELETE FROM table WHERE id=%s AND param1=%s", [id, param1])

So one less argument to pass if we use templates.

But yeah it does seem a bit confusing, and maybe kinda not pythonic? Not sure.

Feels unnecessary...

Can't think of a good reason now on why I would need this rather than just a simple f-string.

Any unsafe string input should normally be sanitized before being added in a template/concatenation, leaving the sanitization in the end doesn't seem like the best approach, but ok.

There's also a module for fully integrating this with the Python requests library: https://github.com/el1s7/curl-adapter

The odds are changing like a crypto coin price

I would change that wording to say that: it's mostly reliable, but not perfect and not as objective as it purports to be.

Wikipedia looks like a fantastic resource, but it's not really a reliable source of information. Everyone can write things there, including people with biases and conflicting interests. Their rules about editing are really annoying and unfair, they don't care about facts.

I enjoy reading Wikipedia sometimes, but it's a broken system, a lot of truths missing in it's articles because of crap editors and political propaganda. Also it's admins are toxic and abuse their little power they have over every editor there.

Try editing some articles there, and you will see the dark side of Wikipedia.

Maybe that's true, I might've been wrong. But still I don't think that it's that straightforward, human brain and intelligence are things we don't fully understand yet.

If "thinking logically" could be taught, we would already have monkeys as co-workers

If you don't know what to build, you don't build.

Exactly, are you aware of any current efforts of people trying to do that?

Nothing new here. Sites like privnote.com have been around much longer. PGP, end-to-end encryption is everywhere now.

Don't confuse the word touching, or when two things get in contact, with the actual human sense of "touch".

You don't smell and see through your hand, do you...

For fun and learning is good but don't think it's practical... not even close to functionality from search engines in the 90s
