You’re comparing a 4 year bloodbath to 10 minutes and being underimpressed? Also those weapons are several orders of magnitude less powerful than what they’re capable of today…

Battle of Carthage was also 3 years and was a siege of a city, so you know… not a lot of places for the people inside to escape. Also took about 20-50k expertly trained Roman soldiers vs a few trained guys in a plane pressing a button.

And sibling comment is right. The application of industrialization to the death process in WW2 and similar application of the idea (eg Pol Pot and Stalin) also led to death on an unprecedented scale.

> 4 year bloodbath

That caused endless tragedy and trauma. Perhaps the 10 mins terror was the less worse outcome of the two, mode decisive, that ended the war quicker. Who can decide? Wars aren't statistic.

I get the gist here but I hate the tone of these sorts of posts. Imagine being a NextJS developer, pouring your heart and soul into it day after day, knowing the codebase inside and out, and seeing some dude on the Cloudflare blog bragging about how he rewrote your project in a week using AI. It's tone deaf. It's not impressive.

The tool is hella useful. The messaging is ignorant. This should have been a "we built a tool to deploy NextJS on cloudflare natively" instead of this AI brag.

jryle70 · 20 days ago

Tone deaf? It's the reality. Developers shouldn't bury their head under the sand. Chart your course accordingly.

> Rewrote your project

That project would die without user's adoption. Be appreciative. Nextjs is an open source project. What is it with HN that constantly praise the virtue of open source software, but downplay that fact the moment they don't like the outcome?

I like this analogy, and in fact in have used it for a totally different reason: why I don't like AI.

Imagine someone going to a local gym and using an exosqueleton to do the exercises without effort. Able to lift more? Yes. Run faster? Sure. Exercising and enjoying the gym? ... No, and probably not.

I like writing code, even if it's boilerplate. It's fun for me, and I want to keep doing it. Using AI to do that part for me is just...not fun.

Someone going to the gym isn't trying to lift more or run faster, but instead improving and enjoying. Not using AI for coding has the same outcome for me.

jryle70 · 25 days ago

You can continue to do that for your personal projects. Nobody forces you to like AI. You may not have the choice at your job though, and you can't take Claude Code et al. from me. I've been programming for 30 years, and I still have fun with it, even with AI.

The USA, right now, has a totalitarian police state.

We just had Amazon Ring run an ad bragging about mass surveillance for "your dog". Most of us know that "your dog" is a dog whistle for brown people (aka immigrant looking).

Ring partnered with Palantir. Or maybe not.

Corporate social media is partnered with Palantir and that Israeli company that Discord is sending ID data to.

"Credit" is a system that the US capitalists came up with, not China. Now Credit is used to even verify whether you get jobs, or fly in a plane, or get a bank account. "Social Credit" ala China was the big scary propaganda, of what our system perfected by the 1990s.

The western nations have way way more cameras that 'Evil Capitalist China'. In fact, London is the most surveiled of anywhere. I'm guessing Washington DC is close behind.

And those 'less than lethal' weapons? Look at Minnesota. They sure as hell look lethal to me.

But yeah, keep blaming the Chinese. Although the last few times this world dealt with fascists, it was the Communists who finally broke them.

Propaganda, like not as prevalent as in the US? Are you kidding me? China also has used many tool control the population. Did you hear of hukou? "Acktshually, ..." I can already hear you saying.

> The western nations have way way more cameras that 'Evil Capitalist China'

You know this because?

> Although the last few times this world dealt with fascists, it was the Communists who finally broke them.

Remind me who supported Polpot that killed a million of their own compatriots? Where did the Culture Revolution take place?

Most of the things you call "way cheaper" have massive costs that aren't reflected in the price tag. The TVs, phones, and IoT appliances are spying on you 24/7 and pushing ads in your face. In terms of quality, much of that is highly debatable.

If you compare a call over the newest iphone to a call over a rotary phone from 60 years ago guess which one gave users better call quality? I don't remember who made the joke about advertisers going from "You can hear a pin drop!" to "Can you hear me now?" but that sums up the problem very well. TVs are bigger but still can't do everything CRTs could (color accuracy, contrast, variable resolutions). We have faster hard drives with SSDs but with limited numbers of writes and they lose data when not powered. Everything is just trade offs. Some things have been improved, some things have gotten worse, but however good things are right now you can bet they will be made worse going forward. Enshittification is real and increasing all the time.

Well, you can't call your loved ones from anywhere with rotary phone, when you need them, so which one is better? I know which one I'd choose.

SSD is not only faster but also quieter and more efficient. See how much power a modern laptop consumes vs 20 years ago?

> Some things have been improved, some things have gotten worse, but however good things are right now you can bet they will be made worse going forward. Enshittification is real and increasing all the time.

You said everything is trade off but choose to believe the future will get worse. Seems contradictory? I believe life will go on, and in 2046 people will complain about modern life and talk about how good things were 20 years earlier.

Back in the Nokia brick days you could easily go a full week between charges.

Of course it's an apples to oranges comparison since a modern smartphone has infinitely more functionality, but in this one thing modern phones remain objectively worse.

jryle70 · a month ago

You have to compare the old Nokia phone with the new Nokia dump phone. I doubt that the old phone's battery lasts longer than that of a new Nokia 2720 Flip:

The new dump phone likely has more functionality and uses a much more robust wireless network.

There's no activism because everybody agrees it's terrible. If your govt is already cutting out Iran and sanctioning them, there's no need to demand action.

This is very different from Israel, where our govts are actively supporting a genocide. That requires activism to change course.

Why would people demonstrate if everyone is aligned?

jryle70 · 2 months ago

Protests were about US's inaction in Gaza as much as its support for Israel. Why no such protests now? Why aren't there thousands of people gathering demanding US doing something to help Iran's people?
