  • They are overlapping areas, but they are “two completely different things”. They overlap by sharing common goals, not by being interchangeable.

    Anonymity to me means the message recipient can’t tell who you are.

    Right. And Signal doesn’t provide that at all, it ties your private messages to your identity (phone number), it explicitly does not provide anonymity. In fact, it proudly advertises you as a signal user to other signal users that have your number saved. It allows you to post public status updates, it encourages you to save your first and last name on your account.

    If a THIRD PARTY (the server operator) can ALSO tell who you are, that’s a privacy failure, not just an anonymity one.

    Okay? And? In this hypothetical world where Signal offered anonymity but still tied you to your number for other practical reasons, then you’re be correct that it would be a privacy concern.

    But they don’t offer anonymity, they offer private conversations.



  • Real world development isn’t creating exciting apps all the time, it’s writing the same exact boring convention based code sticking to an established pattern.

    It can be really boring and unchallenging to create your millionth respiratory, or you can prompt your ide to create a new repo and with one sentence it will create stub out 10 minutes worth of tedious prep work. It makes programming fun again.

    In one prompt, it can look at my finished code and stub out half decent documentation that otherwise wouldn’t have been completed at. It does hallucinate sometimes, or it completely misunderstands the code, so you have to correct a few sentences, but the brain drain of coming to with the sentence structure to write useful documentation is completely lifted, and the code is now well documented.

    AI programming is more than just vibe coding, and it’s way more useful than everyone here insists it’s not.


  • Non of those examples are relevant.

    Those examples are specific tools or specific implementation pattern, AI in development is a tool.

    It doesn’t dictate how to write software or what the written code will look like, it’s a tool that speeds up your code wiring. It catches typos and silly bugs that take hours to debug, it’s able to generate useful unit tests, it can clean up and apply my code style way better than codemaid or resharper ever code, it’s taken care of so much tedious shit and made software development fun again.

    Vibe coding is not the future of development. If you aren’t learning to use AI as a tool in development, you are going to be left behind.

    It’s more apt to compare it to IDEs. Sure, you can still write you entire app in vim and compile it in the terminal, but you would have been very foolish to deny the future of development was in IDEs.


  • Yes, they will. You know what else will happen with community farms?

    1. You don’t need to long-haul your produce thousands of miles.

    2. You reduce fossil fuel usage associated with transportation and refrigeration.

    3. You significantly cut packaging waste (plastic wraps, cartons, trays).

    4. You eliminate or drastically reduce food spoilage during transit.

    5. You lower dependency on chemical preservatives needed for extended shelf life.

    6. You avoid industrial-scale pesticide and herbicide use that damages ecosystems.

    7. You decrease water waste from large-scale irrigation systems.

    8. You eliminate excessive food processing required for preservation and transport.

    9. You prevent large-scale soil degradation and erosion due to monoculture practices.

    10. You reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy machinery and vehicles.

    11. You minimize biodiversity loss caused by vast monocrop fields.

    12. You eliminate food waste from standardized aesthetic requirements (rejecting imperfect produce).

    13. You avoid the environmental harm and fossil fuel use from massive refrigerated storage facilities.

    14. You reduce deforestation and habitat destruction associated with industrial farming expansion.

    15. You significantly lower the risks of large-scale disease outbreaks and contamination.

    16. You reduce reliance on genetically modified crops engineered solely for transport durability.

    17. You prevent nutrient loss in produce caused by prolonged storage and transport times.

    18. You reduce economic vulnerabilities associated with centralization and supply-chain disruptions.

    19. You mitigate community health risks by providing fresher, nutrient-rich produce.

    20. You reduce noise, air, and water pollution associated with industrial farming machinery and processes.

    children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange.And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot

    Community farms are precisely about correcting this injustice. There’s so much watse in “profit”, and profit keeps growing.
