The QA process currently assumes that at least some people actually know how the code works, and QA is already one of the biggest bottlenecks in the development process.

For example, it's often very difficult to get your peers to do code reviews so you can commit your updates because they're busy and the work of doing code reviews sucks. The main reason they get done at all is quid pro quo: You have to eventually do code reviews for others or they'll stop reviewing your code.

If all anyone is doing is reviewing orders of magnitude more AI slop than any human can produce, the review process is going to suck. The best people are just going to quit instead of sitting there reviewing code all day, even if they have to switch careers and become electricians. With nobody actually writing code, the reviewers will eventually atrophy and lack the knowledge of what problems to look for in the first place.

Similar issues will show up for product testing and all of the other steps in the product pipeline.

If you think billionaires are billionaires because they're smarter than everyone else, you're the joke and you're nowhere near reality. Some of them are the sharpest pencil in the box. Most of them are just the least scrupulous, luckiest, and best positioned.

I know that the people attacking DEI are mostly white supremacists who want to preserve their positions of privilege. The remainder are nonwhites who have internalized white supremacy.

Your abject hypocrisy in telling me not to "play the "I didn't say that" game and then following it by attributing to me something which I did not say is fucking pathetic. I quoted the important parts for you and you still couldn't figure out what was wrong with you, because you're in denial about your inability to remember what you're saying and remain consistent for more than a paragraph. You forgot what your argument even was right in the middle of it but you still want to tell me about me? You're a sorry excuse for a LLM.

An infinite number as long as we keep discussing them and creating page views and ad impressions.

Mine crumbled too. I got some foams for another model and cut them down to fit, I forget which though. What I really need is to find another cord before I finally manage to murder this one, I've run it over with my chair a whole bunch of times and they must have made it out of black box material.

Not 100% true. From the Wikipiedia article on BPA:

This is followed by several other uses of BPA in PVC.

Conversely, I was going to say that people keep saying that there are child predators on Roblox, and now we know it's true.

Indeed. Other common chemicals of concern involve fire and UV resistance. Some plastics are just naturally soft, but some grades of them are produced with additives.

I have Sennheiser HD420s, they have a soft plastic short plush covering which I bet is releasing all kinds of plasticizers.

Never go full dumbshit.

Well, that's one hypothesis. However since they saw a significant difference in the population where the social media apps were removed, then if your hypothesis is true, the data would suggest that delivering the service as a native app rather than a web app must have some harmful effect in itself. An alternative hypothesis is that their application usage patterns changed when the apps were removed.

It's not altogether far fetched that web-delivered apps have a different psychological effect than native smartphone apps, because native smartphone apps have greater access to the system for tracking and notifications. Native apps also offer different features than their web versions. This is why I use Facebook via a browser, because the Facebook native app is insufferably intrusive, constantly trying to get your attention. It means, however, I can't use Facebook's chat function.

Generally, the softer the plastic, the more plasticizers have been added. Plasticizers are usually the chemicals of concern, because they are often endocrine disrupters.

I'm pretty sure these plasticizers routinely leach out of headphone pads because the pads on every pair of headphones I've owned over the past 40 years has gotten brittle and disintegrated after a few years of use.

I don't think it works that way. Medical science overwhelmingly neglects women so there's really no chance that is what would move the needle. The problem is denialism. People addicted to our modern lifestyle who cannot imagine being able to have luxuries if we make changes will resist believing anything that requires them to make any.

NSA, is that you?

All of the high-end earbuds and lots of the low-end ones have silicone ear pieces. Some of them are even uncolored.
