What?

You can't run Node on embedded systems, because there isn't enough memory.

A compiled zig program can be only several kilobytes with no depedenencies.

Array access programmed in low-level languages can be optimized with SIMD and parallelization, which will be orders of magnitude faster than the same thing on Javascript. Text processing, image manipulation, video processing, hashing, etc.

There is like infinite reasons to not use Javascript.

Yo dawg, I heard you like gambling.

You don't have an expectation of privacy. I do. I don't want to go outside and have my every move recorded. There is something deeply disgusting about that notion.

When a set of banal traffic observation cameras turn into surveillance of a particular individual, then you’re being unreasonably searched/tracked/stalked. This should require a probable cause and proper warrant "we want to identify this individuals movements because …"

This is a clear violation of the 4th amendment.

If people really thought it didn't matter, they would just label their AI-generated stuff as "AI" and let consumers choose. To do otherwise is to scam.

That's because the only thing that became "realistic" were the graphics. People don't really want realism anywhere else, because realism means infinite complexity. They just want to hack'n'slash.

I'd argue that people want entertaining mechanics, not just mindless action. At least not always.

Realistic Cod would be a nightmare lol

Wow, has it really gone all the way down to zero?

To be fair, that was 8 years ago. Github now has all that days and users + 8 years of data and users.

It could be many things. Microsoft mismanaging stuff. Azure. Vibe-coded Github. So much AI slop being committed it adds an extra burden on the servers, etc.

What I'm afraid of is that this is all a ticking bomb that is going to explode VERY hard on the most technologically vulnerable.

>In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies argues that organizations form “accountability sinks,” structures that absorb or obscure the consequences of a decision such that no one can be held directly accountable for it. Here’s an example: a higher up at a hospitality company decides to reduce the size of its cleaning staff, because it improves the numbers on a balance sheet somewhere. Later, you are trying to check into a room, but it’s not ready and the clerk can’t tell you when it will be; they can offer a voucher, but what you need is a room. There’s no one to call to complain, no way to communicate back to that distant leader that they’ve scotched your plans. The accountability is swallowed up into a void, lost forever.[0]

This, but web scale.
