I’m sorry but your citizens are treated far worse by authorities than UK citizens and it’s not even close.

I like it, but then again my hair was never great to begin with. It’s certainly one less thing to think about.

> It’s pretty rare that I run into a bug in production that a type system would have caught.

Well yes, surely because you’re not designing your system around the type system. You need to architect your project to lean heavily on types, pattern matching, etc to actually gain the benefits. If you move a JS project to TS and just rename the files, yeah there’s going to be no difference, you must reengineer the entire codebase to leverage the type system.

Personally, after moving to TS I’ve been completely sold on types and am currently planning to migrate my app to F# so I can gain even more benefit.

Still no support for high resolution monitors though?

I really can’t fathom the Meta strategy at all here.

The same as Google's: use overwhelming funding drown any burgeoning product category with the potential to threaten core profit center.

Turn a potential existential competition into (a) maybe I win or (b) I commoditize the market and you can't make money at it either.

An alternative strategy would be to stack insane amounts of cash while every other competitor is blowing theirs, putting you in an incredible position to deploy capital whenever this bubble pops. This seems so much more obvious, to me at least. I think AI is the future but it’s far more likely than not that the current phase of the market is a bubble and unsustainable. What even has Meta produced with all this AI spend? I’m not even sure what race they’re in. It just seems like a big AGI or nothing gamble. Personally I would be watching all my competitors make that bet and laughing all the way to the bank as my financial position constantly improved relatively. A lot of your competitors are basically practising self harm right in front of you and you’re joining in? Maybe I’m the idiot who is missing something, but I just don’t get it.

That's a big risk for any market with first mover advantage / network effects.

How'd Microsoft's mobile efforts go?

Sometimes the lead quickly becomes insurmountable, so if you're sitting on a cash flow machine it's not a terrible idea to at least keep pace with new markets.

What is the risk for Meta? They will continue to be a social media company that prints money regardless. I'm arguing that they NEVER need to join the AI market, not try and jump in late.

The fact that you answered and engaged means you’re more likely to get called again.

I think you're right about that.

> I don't see how your comment makes sense as a reply to its parent.

But you can see why the Gaza response made sense? It was completely irrelevant to this discussion. I’m not sure how you’re missing the heavy sub text here.

A ridiculous response.

Genuinely, why not? Seems obvious to me that this would produce better outcomes.

It’s acceptable for someone to buy a ready meal or takeout if it’s better than what they can cook. Why wouldn’t it be? Is that the greatest choice for their personal development? Probably not, but life is complex and folk have limited capability and bandwidth for acquiring skills.
