I was once a juror during a very vindictive two day civil trial against what was essentially a hobby business. I left with a newfound respect for binding arbitration.

My feelings are different where there's grave power imbalances like you describe, but there's very little about dealing with a large corporations that is just or dignified these days.


You were a juror during a civil trial? Is that a thing? Where?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_Amendment_to_the_Unite...

> In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law

47/50 states also provide for this right in their constitutions. the remaining three don't have it in their constitution but still have legislation or rules supporting it


Thanks! Interesting, you can perhaps tell I'm based in Europe, seems like lots of countries don't have that here.

Seems like probably a good feature of American justice?


> And a pure native app is _always_ going to behave better than react native.

Maybe iOS is better about consistency, but I've used enough horribly made Android apps that I would not expect one that's vibe coded to behave better than a professionally made react native version.


I would if it were based on the RN version. RN is kind of okay on iOS, but really shitty on Android. Would be difficult to be _worse_.

That said, I do recommend reading the code the LLM produces whether you understand the language or not. What better time to learn?


Maybe. Android might still be a mess, fair point.


Maybe, but what about when "Claude do this" picks WordPress for someone that doesn't know what a reverse shell is?


Still a win. Claude loves to write code from scratch instead of searching the web and pulling in dependencies, so you’ll likely end up with fewer garbage tier plugins written by people whose average skill level is put to shame by bootcamp grads; those people don’t know what a reverse shell is either.


So… similar levels of garbage code, but with no eyes looking at it.


"AI" is relevant context here but apparently not the Jaguar Land Rover hack.


It only makes sense that fetuses which choose to be born into blue collar families in the wrong zip code are more likely to continue to make poor decisions for the rest of their lives. You just can't trust people with such a poor history of judgement. Unless they're C-Suite.


I'm glad I don't have any ~~bookie~~ prediction app accounts, because I'd now be willing to put money on an incoming settlement.


The content does not read like it's well thought out to me, but I am at least convinced it's human.


AI would have probably told you that posting this is not a good idea.


> If you'd used `slices.Contains(s, needle)`, on the other hand, it could have such a performance bug in it and you'd never know.

Perhaps you're much better at programming than I am, but I prefer these semantics in a language because I figure they're much more likely to have been optimized empirically, support vectorization, and be less buggy than another rote loop I'm trying to speed through.


That is just a silly rationalisation by primitivists, and they will never be able to articulate any rational point where abstracts makes sense, in their world, whatever Russ Cox and a bunch of Google employees deem fit is the ideal.

Even when Russ Cox and Go team had come to term with reality and stopped pretending like we are in 70s still, these lot will move goalposts. It is a kind of psychosis and sycophancy that is beyond rational discourse.


Even the 70's, that is ignoring what was happening with CLU, Smalltalk, Mesa, Modula-2, PL.8, ML, ...


For once I wish they would've taken a more technological solution to this social problem and enforced more limited CI time and disk space quotas by default. Seems like it'd be fairer and require less active policing. My read from their post was that the resolution had more of an ideological bent than being just about resources, which is certainly their community's right to have.
