> But AI doesn't care. It can, and it will, happily churn through a messy codebase.

Even if that will be true (currently it's not in the long run), messy codebase will make you spend much more on tokens. So unless agents become so cheap that it won't matter, having a mess will be bad for the business in the long run.

> Why people bringing token prices ?

Enterprises needs to pay for API, they cannot use subs (for various reasons). In work environment it’s a higher chance you will pay raw token prices than have a sub.

You can make the Linux installation on Apple Sillicon Macs pretty painless nowadays. One terminal command on macOS, reboot to Linux, run one script - voila.

Yeah, but it's unlikely such installers will be officially supported by the distributions, which was my point regarding upstreaming.

The Asahi installer can set up a standard UEFI environment on the Mac and you're off to the races from there.

The problem right now is more that you then need to use a patched kernel+mesa+others to do much with that environment. As more and more of those patches make it upstream, the process will converge to being a standard ARM64 install from the distro's point of view.

Hacker News and basically everyone from YC have an official profile on Twitter: https://x.com/hackernews

To this day I never met any of them.

You probably also never met Elon. By your logic you shouldn’t use Hacker News just like Twitter.

Sir, you are controlling the buttons you push. I.e. it's up to you who you follow and what exactly you read on Twitter - just like any other social network.

There are news that are circulating much faster on Twitter than anywhere else (for example about war in Ukraine). There are people and companies that post only on Twitter and nowhere else (especially in tech).

> it's up to you who you follow and what exactly you read on Twitter

The Twitter experience is a highly algorithmic feed where tweets from the people you follow are not guaranteed to be in chronological order, or even shown to you at all. The default experience also mixes it other tweets "you might be interested in", that is, things they want you to see.

There's also the fact people could freely see tweets and follow discussion threads, that's now locked behind an account requirement.

> The Twitter experience is a highly algorithmic feed ... that is, things they want you to see.

Not on Nitter! Which is the point, for me at least.

A half of Twitter's point for me was the trending section, that you don't have any control on now (you used to be able to disable the personalization of that section but since X you cannot, if you want the actual trends you need to go in a subsection). The whole section is full personalized ragebaits (because at some point I used to reply to those), now it just makes the experience of trends quite unbearable and I can't change that.

Even if you tried to ignore ragebait the X algorithm is going to prioritize them because it is highly tuned to promote high engagement content. Any given feed is going to have white supremacy, flat Earth, climate change denial, immigrant hate, vaccine harms, and of course Elon shilling for his AI products.

I get news from Ukraine just in a good enough pace from various bloggers etc on youtube. Then there is telegram, thats arguably even a better source for the "this just happened on the front lines" news (ofc without any sources, just like twitter).

Bottom line is you DONT need twitter if your only want is "i want rumours called news the minute something happens"

I'm pretty sure the Ukraine war news on Twitter are mostly what's bubbled up from less accessible forums (like Telegram channels).

This site is a good alternative for tech news.

A number of decent news accounts cross post on Twitter. I wish they would pick a platform other than Telegram or Twitter but it is what it is.

A lot of non-Western accounts were recently demonetized so maybe they will move elsewhere. Although the best ones don’t seem to be doing it for money, they usually have some personal grudge.

Twitter doesn't really work without an account. Projects like Nitter solved that.

Especially annoying when Twitter is a source for something.

Sir, you are voluntarily using a website owned by an unstable Nazi, who purchased it because his feelings were hurt and people were making fun of him there. Now his brain droppings make it into everyone’s feed by default, from what I understand.

> There are news that are circulating much faster on Twitter than anywhere else (for example about war in Ukraine).

I am certain that Twitter is not the only place where you can find these updates, if you really care for up-to-the-minute news. But I don’t.

> There are people and companies that post only on Twitter and nowhere else (especially in tech).

These people and companies are (knowingly or unknowingly) supporting a Nazi billionaire and they are not worth paying any attention to until they change their behavior.

> Now his brain droppings make it into everyone’s feed by default, from what I understand.

You can see only Tweets from people you follow and nothing else. As I said, you are controlling the buttons you push.

Yes, I am aware you can do this, and it doesn’t refute anything I said.

It's incredible how this comment is downvoted for stating facts

Even facts can be stated in many different ways.

And people who downvote comments because the facts therein aren’t stated in a way they like are snowflakes.

I am always baffled how many people does not know about Amphetamine.

> If you don’t trust the Bun team when they release a Rust version and give it their stamp of approval, why did you trust them when they released the Zig version two weeks ago?

I think you cannot make this comparison because Rust version wasn’t in fact written by the Bun team. It wasn’t even read by them.

Home distillation is very popular in Poland too. Risk of getting poisoned from it is near zero in practice. In some parts of Poland there is more home-distilled alcohol bottles at the tables during weddings than commercial ones.

In many European countries you will be offered home-distilled drinks, you would be very unlucky to get anything else than hangover.

The problem is overblown.

> I don't think an apple watch would help there?

You can authorize via Apple Watch everything you can authorize via Touch ID. You get the notification on the Watch, and you need to press the button twice to auth.

I don't remember if it works every time, or only when MacBook is closed and connected to external display/keyboard.

> For which country?

At least one of the authors is Russian. They were giving away Helium stickers to “anyone who is in Moscow”, and not many non-Russians are traveling there nowadays.

I think that's wukko (either that or both authors are Russian)
