Might depend on used language. From my experience Claude Sonnet indeed never make any syntax mistakes in JS/TS/C#, but these are popular language with lots of training data.

> It's over for us

To be more specific: "us" in this sentence means the creators of dumb, shallow, and derivative movies.

The cognitive error here is that people see generated video and are overwhelmed by how it looks good, but they don't know how much it differs from an original vision. Vision that human prompting it had in mind while creating it. And I'm sure this differs a lot. Whoever tried to generate video using generative models knows that what you get is basically random. But movies never had been about showing random things.

There is no way the movie industry collapses. But it will certainly transform more into computer work.


ya, but no

it is over, "it" bieng a dominant place in in popular media reserved for hollywood, done, non viable model now, competition is fierce for views, and no one is waiting to be discovered. attention spans are too short, and billions are playing bit parts in games and creating videos.AI is blurring everything, and closeing off entry level spots to test new talent, meat aint cheap or fast enough, no matter how hard you push. The comming space hotels, mars and moon missions will take the place of movie and tv,real live performance will maintain it's draw, AI slop for the dull.


What I miss in this book is the reasoning.

So we know there are types and interfaces. One support declaration merging, one does not. Both can extend others, but in different ways. But why? Why there are two of them? When should I use them? Is one better than the other?


Determining the motivation for design decisions is outside the scope of what any external party can and/or should do. The most the author could do is echo what's in the docs (if present), or give their own guess on why things are the way they are.


Giving guidance on which one should be used and when is well within the scope of external parties.


But you still can use Thunderbird for that. I recommend it no matter what mail provider is used. Web interfaces are so heavy nowadays, compared to that, Thunderbird feels so fast.


yes, so I can search my emails solely on my laptop if I install proton bridge and synchronize 50GB of emails. And in case you have ever tried to search 50GB of data with thunderbird, it’s slow.

I tried synchronising the data directly in the browser, without any email client and the search is mediocre and slow.

This is not a great experience for search.

But again, it’s not a critique of Proton, it’s just how it is with E2EE. At least it demonstrate they are really doing E2EE.

I still hope some time in the future homomorphic encryption will help, but I think we are at least a decade away from that.


Until some time ago they prevented users from using Thunderbird for Protonmail though. Well, good that now it is possible!


You've been able to use it since 2017 on Windows and 2020 on Linux, so only about 8 and 5 years respectively.


> They impose minimal privacy risk.

Absolutely not. Privacy risk depends on how well protected is the weakest point in your network. So if one of the participants' device is compromised then the entire discussion is compromised too.

On closed, proprietary platform you just cut off the weakest point from access to the data when you suspect it is not protected enough, as data it lies on a single server. On mailing list you can't do anything, because data lies on somebody's else's server


I think it might be the same as with programmers. It might look like AI Agents can do all the programming, but when you actually try to use it do do things it quickly turns out to be not so much reliable.


I theory you could install some kind of TPM-like device to every hardware that signs the data with key generated by manufacturer. Should be designed in such a way that it is very easy to break it when trying to tamper with it


Yeah, the worst thing is when parts of the same application are under the hood different SPAs.

First example that comes to my mind: web version of ProtonMail. Going to settings feels like loading a completely separate website. Or OVH dashboard.


In 2025:

1. Viral LLM-based game will be released, new trend emerges

2. Sora-like (AI generated) content floods Internet, significant advancements in that field

2a. Maybe a new kind of addictive video content generator is being released. Possibly for porn

3. AI generated music becomes popular and takes significant market share on Spotify (but it's going to be a music meant to play "in the background", like in supermarket)

4. Significant competitor to Google Search becomes popular. Mostly because of Internet becoming closed due to crawlers gathering data for training. Much less data available publicly, rise of "closed gardens".

5. SpaceX successfully launches payload to orbit with Starship and catches both stages.

6. Much more debris on Earth's orbit, dangerous incident in space because of that

7. VR remains a niche

8. More and more users start using voice to control their personal computers


I don't understand. Author of the linked forum thread states that he discontinues both Google Play AND F-droid verion
