As someone living in Switzerland for over 6 years, the labor laws arenāt exactly like in the rest of Europe and people are sometimes a bit too much on the freedumb side of things. Also weird german or (possibly less weird, I donāt speak it) french and high cost of living.
Then again, itās not anywhere as bad as whatās happening in the us
The lesswrong-tier post lengths arenāt helping to get all the way through them
Yeah, I agree. I think that this argument that is made there is a false. The logic error imo is claiming this statement is true: things get cheaper as they get used more, therefore if we make it used more, it will get cheaper.
Second observation is that when a thing gets cheaper itās used more, i.e. theyāll be pushing even harded to shove it into everything.
Are they trying to imply that when they will make it cheaper by shoving it everywhere? I honestly canāt see how that logic is holding together

If the purpose of a metric is to show adoption, the metric can be defined in a way to show adoption. Could be just an effect of promo driven culture, AI push and goodāol Goodhartās law.
Like, how do you even measure when code is ai authored and when not. If you insert 25% of a variable name and the autocompleter guesses the rest of the name correctly, are the remaining 75% AI generated?
Do you actually need to share your bookmarks? I found that bookmarks in Firefox and an RSS reader hosted on my nextcloud are enough for personal use.

I run into this process every time I visit Poland (mostly because I visit so rarely that I forget) and every time Iām astonished how seriously fucked up it is.
The most annoying part is having to scan a receipt in order to exit the self checkout area.
In the stark contrast to the above self checkout process in Switzerland works so smoothly. Mostly because nobody is subjected to the bullshit described above. Thereās even an option to grab a scanner, scan everything on the go and just pay at exit.
Swiss Post has this too!
I think ClownStrike is the name they deserve
Ugh, just reading the summary made me want to puke. What the fuck is wrong with those people. Who the fuck thinks that delegating the responsibility to computers is a good idea. Canāt they cope with the outcomes of their choices and need to outsource that responsibility to some magick software
Thanks, I hate it
