Thank you for giving me the opportunity to freak out about it. I did so, but only a little bit. Then i thought about how i have sometimes felt the bottom corner to be a bit uncomfortable. But then i thought that it wasnt a big enough issue to be worth the effort of filing off the edge

Also a little bit pedantry, you seem to have mostly filed the edge off, which seemed to be the real issue, the corners on that center divet are filed off, but its mostly edges


I think your wasting your time arguing with him bro

Oh I know :)

Im skeptical of the AGI claims but this is a bit too far in the toher direction. I use it to turn designs to code all the time

> I use it to turn designs to code all the time

A human can however do the same job. Turning designs into code isn't a fundamentally new capability unlocked by GenAI, it's just a shuffling of costs from employing humans -> renting GPUs


Most of the passion is around being felt exploited my american tech giants and feeling hopeful at seeing large respectable institutions divest from them. Thats legit, not astroturfed

Tbf theres a much more recent example of legitimate antisemitism in europe. One around the same time as us interment of japanese people

Why wouldnt linux and FOSS benefit from usage? At the least it result in social validation, if not bug reports

Social validation brings incompetent users expecting something like Windows that "just works".

Even if they could bring some bug reports... We have lots of those already! We have decades of ignored bug reports.


Why would only incompetent users expect something that "just works"?

Wait, do we not want incompetent users on Linux? That's a weird take. Linux is not for elite technologically profound users, it's for everybody. If things don't work for non-technical users, we should strive to make it better?

No but if more miners leave then dofficulty with drop faster right? Its modelling supply and demand curves which are a stable equilibrium in these circumstances

Might be wrong about what Aperocky is alluding to but there is an entirely theoretical edge case. The time to the next difficulty adjustment is based on the current speed of mining, and the possible change in difficulty is capped. With enough minors leaving it will drop the speed of mining/network speed/ and push out the expected time to the next difficulty adjustment. I can't think of any realistic way this can occur given the miners that stay will (personally) be producing blocks as often, the increase in time being balanced out by being a larger proportionate of the mining rate. They don't care if they get 1% of the blocks, which average about 20 mins per block or 5% of the blocks that average 100mins per block.

Difficulty only adjusts every 2016 blocks. If the system gets out of whack enough it could slow down to a crawl for an extended period of time.

In practice it’s not much of an issue because bitcoin is not use for commerce but it’s a store of value and it some of the trades are not even on chain.


Im beginning to think thats the mantra we'll keep reciting as this whole country slowly falls apart

The scarier thing is that it resonates with people. It might be an over reaction but im concerned americans have gotten dumb enough that subtlety isnt even necessary. People might not be thinking critically enough to be put off by blatant propaganda, so states can just do this and it works

Thats a reason for the clients to be mobile first, but not why it meeds to be an app. It can be the movile version of the website too. Itll be less code manage that way too. Why dont companies just focus on mobile web?
