You are lazy for not doing accessibility adjustments, because accessibility isn't for blind users. It's for the deaf ones, the ones with poor eyesight, the ones with mental deficiencies, the ones with motor issues like Parkinson's, the ones browsing your site shitfaced at 4AM, and so on and so on.
Accessibility isn't a checklist to cover your ass for a percentage of the population: it's for everyone. It literally makes your website less shit. You slapping an aria-label doesn't fix things.
Every moment you spend doing accessibility is a moment you spend not doing other things. You could argue it has a high RoI to do accessibility, fine, but that doesn't make it lazy _not_ to do it. Maybe I have even higher RoI/EV stuff to be doing.
Yeah, thats explicitly what I'm saying so I'm not sure it needs repeating. That has very little to do with it being lazy though, is the point.
We were already implicitly discussing RoI when we were talking about 'legal consequences' above. This is how people decide between alternatives, generally.
Picking subsets of customers to focus on is a totally standard part of running a startup or company in general, so this is not really news or any kind of threat.
You might as well tell me the suburban moms are not going to buy my developer tool because I've personally slighted them with the branding. Why would I care? I made my decisions knowing this.
In fact ditching low RoI customers is incredibly common and good startup advice.
You're just expressing a normative view here, it's not very interesting or informationally-dense. You care about accessibility more than I do. That doesn't make not doing it 'crap'.
I haven't read from him in a while, but I don't think there was a single dated prediction that supports your argument. Do you have any sources for this claim?
I haven't read from him in a while either - but I remember reading enough tweets from him about being confident at x% probability we'll die before year z due to an Ai doing the funny
So, if we disagree with someone's reasoning, the proper reaction is to make up random unsubstantiated claims about them and compare them to drug addicts?
I don't think this matches the guidelines of this website.
If he's a clown what part of his theory is the circus?
Are you saying that superintelligence is impossible?
Are you saying that the alignment problem will certainty be solved before superintelligence emerges?
Are you saying that a superintelligent being connected to the internet would be unable to gain resources such as GPU time, money, and social influence?
Are you saying that a superintelligent being would for some reason be incapable of deception and cunning?
Are you saying that a superintelligent being would necessarily regard human flourishing as a prime objective to be prized above it's own goals and ambitions?
If it's really just doomerism we should be able to point to the flaws in his argument instead of making ad hominem attacks.
>Are you saying that superintelligence is impossible?
Yes, end of the discussion, I don't debate metaphysics with crackheads, sociology with psychopaths or geography with flat earthers, or very bad science fiction with yudkowski. Going on about "exposing the flaws in the argument" of the crackhead just means wasting your time.
If you think "big metal box can't go up" is the same kind of argument as "we're going to destroy humanity with the thinking machines", I can't help you there man.
It's a rite of passage of every Android app to crash on the first launch because you forgot to declare the INTERNET permission in the manifest. It's been there since day one.
It's auto approved and non declineable in the settings, but technically it's a permission you can revoke, just needs to be surfaced.
The one that's so incredibly broken that Apple and Visa keep blaming eachother when they get a report that you can steal any amount by making yourself pass as a transit card ? Cool security theater. https://hackernoon.com/veritasium-stole-$10000-from-mkbhds-l...
This just sounds like a bug. Haven’t delved too deep into it technically though.
Anyway flawed implementation doesn’t mean that hardware attestation is a fundamentally useless primitive. Apple Wallet is responsible for millions of transactions a day.
IP Firms have automated bots to send mails to abuse@provider the moment they see you even getting a file list. My Hetzner server got taken down after an abuse complaint from McGraw Hill saying that I downloaded some dogshit management book by merely connecting to DHT.
Hetzner is in Germany, the server is in Finland, the accuser is in the US. The only way to win is to either move away, or lobby for your countries to stop respecting US copyright laws.
They're not either, every one of these projects contains a gigantic vendor/ folder full of unmaintained libraries, modified so much that keeping up with the latest changes is impossible so they're stuck with whatever version they copied back in 2009.
You make that sound worse than it is. On the overall topic, you have 0 supply chain risk, and the whole thing is local. Also, your code from 2009 is still valid. That would be a foreign concept in some languages like Python.
you have your supply chain risk still, it's just frozen as of 2009 and whatever you vendored back then is as of today swiss cheese; also you'd better have the compiler suite vendored, too (as you should with this strategy).
there's nothing stopping you from using python from 2009 except why would you want to do that to yourself - but the same strategy applies. the reference python implementation is written in C, after all.
>They fit Final Fantasy 3 (SNES) with 3 CDs of music (albeit low quality) and Mode 7 graphics for the airship onto like 3 MB.
Sure, the good old days where _all of this didn't work without specialized hardware that you bought with every single cartridge_. Mode 7 didn't come for free, it was an entire additional, single purpose chip in the cart on a console that didn't have any concept of task management or even OS. But hey, if you want to have to plug in and swap PCIE cards for each piece of software that you want to run, feel free to reinstall DOS.
You force yourself onto my life (because, for various reasons, most of the career listings are there for example) and then you attempt to make it miserable too, by using and abusing every FOMO tool in the box ?
You bet your ass I'm going to make your life difficult. If you want it to stop, you're the one with the ball on your side of the court, you know exactly what to do.
It's a very American concept, to believe you can just ignore systems and networks. The guy shitting in your yard every day doesn't go away just because you're not looking at him do it.
Aw man, I'm going to shed a tear, the poor AI companies that stole books, works of art, writings any anything they could get their grubby hands on while happily telling everyone that their jobs are over by the exabyte are getting their precious little tokens stolen by big evil chinese LLMs :(
It's morally right to fuck over Anthropic (and OpenAI, or any other lab). Works generated by AI are not copyrightable anyways, and their terms of service have zero legal value.
Devault being a gigantic dick head has no bearing on whether or not tangled does things. If sourcehut wants to remain the isolated hermit of forges because the greybeards that be think it was better before, let them do so and remain their island of weirdos. We already do the same with the freebsd guys (except that freebsd is actually good and impressive unlike sourcehut)
Sourcehut does not matter, and federation of repos is already a real thing. The ones that don't want to federate just.. don't?
