When someone is spreading messages of “both sides bad” and “western ideas bad”, my assumption is it’s a bot

Re:LG strongly denies TV spying claims on Saturday September 12, 2026 @11:41PM (#49679787)
Any chance someone one day will make a spyware-free OS I can run on my LG TV? It was pretty expensive and hardware wise is quite nice. Would love to be able to keep using it

Paywalls are how you run a business without ads/spyware. These are not remotely the same

Curious how a PS5 measures on the spyware scale

Wouldn't it be more malicious for them not to mention this at all?

It’s like saying you can’t make a unique sentence unless you first make unique words
Manufacturing Consent continues being relevant
The article also treats the word "good" as load-bearing in a way that should have you questioning their analysis:

"I’ve called November 2025 the November inflection point because that was when GPT-5.1 and Opus 4.5, combined with their respective coding agent harnesses, got good—good enough that we’ve spent the last six months adapting to agent systems that can reliably get useful work done."

Re:Opus 4.7 knows the real Kelsey on Thursday April 30, 2026 @09:59PM (#47970562)
I recently added E2E tests in my game too. One of the benefits is that I can have my agent verify its own work by asking it write a test and look at screenshots. Which means I can say “I’m going to bed, implement this and verify it with e2e tests” and it gets further along than it used to
I wish they would too. I’d respect them more for the transparency. I think everyone’s enshitiffication sensors have rightly been dialed up over the years. So without explanations for the regressions it just feels like another example

Aren’t old buildings usually draftier? So less CO2

House plants make too minor a difference to be worthwhile.

Opening windows is better but if you want a more energy efficient solution you should invest in a HRV/ERV

Re:A case for Go as the best language for AI agents on Monday March 02, 2026 @03:09PM (#47223394)
Isn’t code in Haskell pure by default and you have to use special keywords to have code with side effects?
Re:A case for Go as the best language for AI agents on Monday March 02, 2026 @03:07PM (#47223379)
This is great, but aug 2025 is almost a lifetime ago with how fast these models are improving. Opus 4.5 came out November 2025 fwiw
Re:A case for Go as the best language for AI agents on Monday March 02, 2026 @02:15PM (#47222660)
Have also wondered how Haskell would be. From my limited understanding it’s one of the few languages whose compiler enforces functional purity. I’ve always liked that idea in theory but never tried the language
