This laissez-faire logic is insane, but I think it is telling that a lot of folks here seem to have this mindset and makes me empathize with increasingly nihilistic people.

People argue for less regulations until they are the ones eating crow.

Let’s not even talk about the feature. Copying the entire visual design itself with superficial tweaks is pretty brazen and, frankly, incredibly lazy.

I am agreeing with you, sorry if that wasn’t clear. I was just expressing frustration that a lot of people seem to think this is imposing some kind of undue burden on them when I’ve always just thought of it as the cost of existing in socie

Textualism is a scam wrapped in academic regalia. It is implausible on its face and arguing that “we only have the text to go off of” sounds nice and is demonstrably not how the law has been parsed. > What communication other than the

Oak Park. Home to Frank Lloyd Wright’s original studio/home and multiple works designed by him? Birthplace and hometown of Ernest Hemingway? A municipality comparable to Berkeley, California or New Rochelle, New York? What? I agree wit

I still really don’t understand what is so entitled about asking for a level of base empathy and care from maintainers. People now yell at you that their only obligation is whatever is spelled out in the license they attached to the code. I

We have no idea what these terms mean and Ed Zitron specifically points out there is no explanation for what they mean in the reviewed documents. Given that, no, this question is still open.

Silicon Valley has always had a bit of a libertarian bent, but I really think a lot of people have spent a significant and successful effort at pushing it towards Objectivism. Objectivism is a stupid, angry idea borne out of the atrocities

When you ask it to give you a digest of current events or as a study aid how are you ensuring that what your reading is a valid representation of the source material? Has it never given you false information?

IMHO, the whole episode is just embarrassing. I have no doubt he’s just trying to do the right thing. You can disagree with the tactics, but the vitriol is outrageous. rsync is a gift to the world and we should be grateful and mindful of ho

I volunteer and I don't tell people or believe they should be grateful that an event is happening because of the volunteers. I just don't find this logic compelling in the same way that you don't find my logic compelling eith

Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate that this is the position of you and a large chunk of folks, but I don’t think I’m ever going to fully understand it. If you don’t mind me probing a little further, what is the motivation to work on it? &

I just cannot understand this logic, can you explain why there is no responsibility whatsoever on the part of a maintainer towards the users? Selling a toaster has an implicit warranty of merchantability. Society expects that if you sell me

> As a long-time open-source maintainer, I find all the second-guessing and armchair psychoanalysis here (not just in this comment, all over HN) about Tridge's motivations, state of mind, and so on incredibly off-putting. I agree th

I think Tridge is simultaneously trying to be proactive and kinda giving too much credit to marketing. Anthropic has not been able to really give numbers or actual values on what Mythos can really do. It just waved Mythos in front of the pu

What is the point of this conclusion? That law professors like the tone and verbosity of AI slop? Okay?

The motivation for such a terse thing is pretty obvious given the way they’ve generally announced things. It’s drumming up interest with as much vagueness as possible. It’s a classic tactic. If you are unable to show real data (why?), then

There is still no evidence, it’s all vibes. If you replaced AI with tulips, it would make no difference.

Also, a real example is Steve Yegge. I still have no idea what on earth why or is Gas Town. Also, he facilitated a crypto rug pull around it because he claimed the money to help support Gas Town was too good to pass up. People have lost the

I think one of the challenges is that the models were all initially trained on the entire Internet (or as much as they could gather) and now they’re having to deal with an increasing amount of the Internet being AI generated content which m

The other frustration is that the folks at Bun seem to entirely not get the problem they are creating for themselves. One of the responses to this announcement was Jarred asking: “What issue did you run into with the Rust rewrite? If there’

I really think the actual problem is not the vibe coded aspect, nor questions about supply chain security. It is the apparently reckless and rushed nature of the rewrite which eroded user trust. In the span of about 2 weeks the narrative we

I think given the current mood of things, it would be prudent to not make such strong assertions on anything. Trust is in increasingly short supply these days.
