  • Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027

  • Android 17 QPR1 Beta 1 is already here with a sneak peek at September's Feature Drop

    Jump

  • I see your point, but I'm here for Android 17.Are you in the wrong thread? Or am I?

  • Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated

    Jump

  • Here, use this tool it makes you fast and it only costs you not understanding what you ship.

    But when the tool screws up and breaks things we'll blame you and not the tool.

    We must go fast so you must use this tool.

  • Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live

    Jump

  • TBH, I wanted to volunteer on a local crew that maintains hiking trails. I didn't... because they were all about taking endless pics and u/l it to their FB and maybe IG. So I avoided sth I wanted to do make my city better. But no way could I avoid their need to share everything with big tech.

    Its hard, and this is a common issue. I have to stop and ask what good am I doing by avoiding it? Usually it's worth the price, because making the real world a better place out weighs most big tech issues.

    At least that's how intrt to evaluate things, while still minimizing my own footprint where possible.

  • Wealthiest musicians globally (2026)

    Jump

  • Depends how you look at it. You could have a couple hundred million, and then if you add a single billion you still "only" have "about a billion" the difference between a million and a billion is crazy.

  • Lumber yard in Seattle in 1937

    Jump

  • You can still have a house with all that old world charm if you want. You're just going to have to do a custom build and pay extra for it.

    I completely agree, and at the same time you'll have to convince every contractor and person you workw with that you actually do want the higher quality items, trims, etc. Almost at every turn folks will steer you toeard cheaper alternatives, because most folks don't notice or care.

    I'm not disagreeing, but it will be more effort than just paying more. It will mean sourcing vendors/contractors that are prepared to do the work too. Personally, I feel it's worth the extra effort and cost, but I understand why not everyone does.

  • Cindy Cohn (EFF) Warns Jon Stewart That Americans Have to Make X and Meta ‘Less Important’

    Jump

  • Pushing SSL was probably the last big tech effort/push that actually benefited users. Sure it made self hosting a little harder, and probably consolidated some tracking behind bigger players, but overall end users did benefit.

    Most of what I see now is purely for their benefit and users don't benefit.

  • Claude Code's source code appears to have leaked: here's what we know

    Jump

  • While true, the latest opus model has 1m token context. Which is a lot more than the previous 200k limit. Hard to fill that up with regular work, but easy if you try to oneshot a whole product.

  • GitHub Actions Is Slowly Killing Your Engineering Team - Ian Duncan

    Jump

  • Believe it or not in some ways they are better and more flexible and in other ways they're more limited. Basically they are totally separate situations to the same problem.

    Since they now have the same owner, you've already identified which one is gaining features and fixes.

  • Astro 6.0 is here

    Jump

  • Looks like a solid release, excited to try out the csp feature. The new collections api seems cool.

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • While I agree with this, and I'm not defending skirting regulations, before rideshare apps, taking taxis was an awful experience. At least half the time, if you try to pay with a credit card, the machine was "broken", if you wanted to get a ride at a specific time you had to call ahead and hope that a taxi would show up.

    Rideshsre apps forced regular taxis to up their game and provide better service, some did and now have their own apps.

  • Mozilla is now encouraging unattributed slop code in Firefox

    Jump

  • I think this is more about having a human oen the PR and changes than anything else. This way a person takes responsibility for the code as opposed to an AI.

    This seems reasonable to me, and not opening the flood gates for AI slop.

  • Two sides to every story

    Jump

  • He was perfect for Boyd in Justified as well. Very under rated show, in my opinion, but very well acted throughout.

  • 'Textbooks will need to be updated': Jupiter is smaller and flatter than we thought, Juno spacecraft reveals

    Jump

  • I think it could be, but the implication is at issue. It's not like we need to update text books to say Jupiter isn't the biggest planet anymore. It's that we need to update the new versions to show how our improved measuring has allowed us to refine our knowledge.

  • What is your preferred Android Launcher in 2026?

    Jump

  • Agreed. They have steadily added new features that don't bloat the experience. It's just a little too constrained for my tastes, but the rest of the Polish makes up for it.

  • What is your preferred Android Launcher in 2026?

    Jump

  • Same here. It's very smooth. I wish there were a few other customization points, I'd rather use my own weather app than the built in one, and I do, but then end up with different forecasts as they use different sources.

    Minor complaints, but still a little friction that could be solved.

  • Can workers compete with machines and stay relevant in the AI era?

    Jump

  • I mostly agree. It won't replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.

    Not to say they don't need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.

  • We could build a solar laser with a ton of mirrors

    Jump

  • To be fair, they did build a customised rig to aim, using real mirrors to simulate a perfect case scenario, and still failed. While they did mention those issues, they did try to replicate the results pretty faithfully IMO.
