E io sono d'accordo con Andrea (che, ndr., è una leggenda)
Aderisco a questa campagna perché mette al centro un principio importante: la tecnologia deve amplificare le persone, non sostituirle né renderle passive

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Here’s a question I get a lot:
> “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?”
I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself.
But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

The AI bubble is so out of control most RAM manufacturers have stopped manufacturing RAM for pcs and shifted to high bandwidth RAM for AI computing. There's now such a severe shortage that prices have jump 3-4x in just a month and it is impacting the ability to supply PCs and gaming consoles.

Out-of-order HTML patching, another proposal from TPAC, lets HTML be presented non-linearly, and a single file can update multiple parts of the page.

“When you use a JavaScript framework, that isn’t the end of your work, it’s just the beginning. You still have to write your own code that makes use of that framework. Except now your code is restricted to only what the framework can do.”
I’d even drop “JavaScript” from that sentence 😉
