thats something i've wondered too, but as a long time jira user i'd rather foss contribute to something better designed (both code and ux-wise) than rehash the mess of ux anti-patterns of jira... just my 2c

i've heard some water filters can take out pfass, and a lot of it comes from food containers (i guess takeout items etc) and non-stick cookware, water-proof clothes [0] so probably good idea to avoid those...

  > What happens when the government sinks half a trillion dollars into this and we still don’t see an ROI / true agent autonomy? Then what?
tax cuts

i have a theory: all file browsers suck, they just suck in different ways for different people

my other theory is that its entirely possible to make a good file browser, but nowadays theres not much investment in them beyond fixing major issues for most users...

  > I don’t quite understand the discontent with the Finder for the most part
its got a lot better over the years (old pathfinder user here) but for me anyways its the constant explosion of new windows and lack of split-view (and also integrated terminal but i know apple will never do that)

also, i love column view in finder and that makes every other fileviewer (even the one in kde with the terminal) suck for me...

reading articles like this, i really wish people would before headlines before a group of paragraphs so i can scan the progression/points and see if its worth reading... a wall of paragraphs and a title like "software bonkers" doesn't help

just my 2c

  > human like NPCs and smarter enemies and some other use case they can sell to the masses.
npc ai has been capable of being much more realistic for a long time, and smarter enemies as well; if enemies in a game are too smart it stops being fun which is to say enemy ai being too stupid or not realistic enough is a non-problem and current-gen hardware is in no way a blocker to such aims anyway

  > Demand crunches spur supply chain capacity improvements when the market is left alone from populist interventions.
what happens when the supply is from a cartel or a monopsony?

  > Nothing for others part of this, companies developing the software and organizations employing these tools.
lack of systems-thinking and over focus on the individual has been a trend since a long time in business. its all on the individual worker to fix things for themselves...

  > Corporate America typically has what's called an "up or out" mentality. Jack Welch dogmatic thinking rules here.
and it has spread all over the world, damaging quality and trustworthiness everywhere it spreads

  > Notice how it's leadership errors that are massively disruptive to people's lives but they suffer none of the consequences when they're responsible?
i think this is what people nowadays call "freedom and meritocracy" (only slightly sarcastic here)

  > Most times were spent juggling paperwork, bouncing back and forth on code reviews, negotiating ambiguous requirements, and attending pointless meetings.

you are only as fast as your slowest part. it seems so many execs and managers are clueless about things people discovered decades ago (deming, goldratt, demarco et al)

  > And yet only the leftists are a danger to our country?
its more like a danger to capital interests (restricting what businesses can do, universal programs reducing markets etc)... and alot of people associate that freedom as fundamental as anything (i'm not arguing either way btw, just my understanding)

am i right in assuming your code is closed-source?

i'd expect anything on github for example to be already in their training set or is training on actual usage more useful to them?

from the example:

  public class HelloFu
  {
    public static string GetMessage()
    {
        return "Hello, world!";
    }
  }

translated into swift this gives a class, which means i'm dealing with reference semantics (and potentially threading issues) and probably not something i necessarily want... i tried struct, but there is no struct keyword in fusion it seems...

  > You can only wring so much out of people with stress and panic. 
just to add, its not only wringing out, it literally leads to worse quality, more incidents and can eventually compounds itself towards a death spiral in many cases

its completely ironic but outside of claude ignore/harness rules, i've seen this stuff go out the window where ai is concerned or just brush it under the rug
