  • Only privileged people can afford to pretend that "apolitical" is something that exists.

  • Gaytheon?

  • Creating issues is free to a large number of people you don't really control, whether that is the general public or some customers who have access to your issue tracker and love AI doesn't really matter, if anything dealing with the public is easier since you can just ban members of the public who misbehave.

  • Yeah, I know that the vast majority of Java applications out there are stuck on ancient versions of the JVM and spew back traces in their logs as if they bought them in bulk.

  • Pressure is also bad for aviation since pressure vessels are usually heavy.

  • Also I doubt they like always flying with a 90% empty hold.

    Sure they would if they knew it in advance. They could sell that as cargo space.

  • Sometimes I wonder why there isn't a term 'sports terrorist' but they easily declared much more harmless activities by climate activists as 'eco terrorism'.

  • Second Life might not be as universally successful as originally envisioned but it is still going 20 years later and land indeed still sells for thousands of US$ in certain popular locations so it is actually a pretty bad example of hype that was completely baseless, it was just over-hyped, not like current hype cycles that are pretty much 100% bullshit like cryptocurrencies, the Hyperloop, self driving cars or AI replacing workers.

  • The event's puzzles were designed so they could be solved locally, making them accessible even to AI models with technical constraints.

    Want to bet that those puzzles (or some very similar ones) were part of the training data of some of the agents?

  • Workarounds for the shortcomings certainly make bribes possible with crypto but not exactly easier than with traditional currencies.

  • I don't think people who give or take bribes usually like having a permanent history of the transaction.

  • Most of them aren't really because it is not anonymous, just pseudonymous and once you are identified your entire transaction history is public.

  • We don't even have laws preventing real human abuse if the victim groups have no political lobby in a lot of countries.

  • Yes, I have Java and love Rust but the point is that if you say they all go through the same cycle there need to be some commonalities between the languages and the way they rise to popularity and there just aren't. If any modern language resembles Java's rise to popularity it would be Go.

  • Python isn't really strict enough to be a good learning language and Java has too much accidental complexity that literally matters in no other language.

  • it succeeded in holding back the entire field of programming for a decade via that mindset by having people blindly apply stupid Java design patterns to everything.

  • Java is nothing like Rust. Java was always sold as a low skill programmer language, Rust has a steep learning curve. Java tooling has always sucked where Rust has excellent tooling pretty much since 1.0, Java is extremely verbose and needs a lot of tools to generate code to be productive at all, Rust is very expressive and most people write the code by hand or just use built-in language features. Java has a culture of "who care about that backtrace in my log as long as the app does what it is supposed to" while Rust has a culture that very much cares about correctness more than performance. Java was always driven by CEOs pushing it on people from the top while Rust is very much a language programmers try to push into their companies from the bottom.

    Also, none of the languages you listed have a very particular niche that differs from what they were used early on apart from Java which is now mostly used on the server and used to also be used in GUI applications more.

  • And Java is very much considered legacy in the vast majority of projects that use it.

  • Also consider that the same idiot decision makers have been happily applying Factory-management methods to knowledge workers for decades without noticing how badly that works.
