  • My impression is that with some guidance it can put together a basic skeleton of complex stuff too. But you need a specialist level of knowledge to fix the fail at compile level mistakes or worse yet mistakes that compile but don’t at all achieve the intended result. To me it has been most useful at getting the correct arguments for argument heavy libraries like plotly, remembering how to do stuff in bash or learning something from scratch like 3js. Soon as you try to do something more complex than it can handle, it confidently starts cycling through the same couple of mistakes over and over. The key words it spews in those mistakes can sometimes be helpful to direct your search online though.

    So it has the potential to be helpful to a programmer but it cant yet replace programmers as tech bros like to fantasize about.



  • This statement seems like it could easily evolve to a profit generating mechanism. It surely will be used to train their AI extensions which is one to start with. They could also claim that selling your browsing habits in an anonymized way to private companies for personalized ads is also part of the better experience goal above. Very vague statement. They are very clear on how they will own your usage statistics but not so clear on what they will be doing with it. Which really makes their aim quite clear. If there is anyone who is legally bound by this statement, it is the user who cant complain about their private data being monopolized and even sold (Firefox owns it %100 apparently). Anything legally binding for Firefox? No not even a promise. They can do whatever the hell they want with your data as long as they follow some basic laws I suppose. And the claim about better interaction is just some feel good words to calm people reading that statement. As in chrome most of this can likely be turned off which I will. But forcing these as default settings down someone’s throat is like assuming a %50 tip by default and expecting the customer to change it.







  • I don’t know, it also seems very difficult to achieve world wide socialism. but then again it is also hard to cull people’s desire to become powerful over others. there will always be those aspiring to become billionaires but yet it seems easier to motivate majority of humans to do away with billionaires then to convince them to accept socialism.
