Jaywalking was illegal in NYC until 2025 but literally every crossing had people doing it constantly. This is not figurative, it actually is literal. Including people doing it in front of police. Including the police themselves! The law onl

Yes, but there is a difference between: 1. Customers want to do something, you help them do it, but it's illegal. 2. Customers want to do something, you tell them you did it, but you were lying and defrauding them.

This comment is pretty wild: > In addition to what @The-King-of-Toasters said, the worst case scenario is really mild: A new version of windows comes out, breaking ntdll compatibility. Zig project adds a fix to the std lib. Application d

Apple is not catering to minimum salaries in poor countries. Does this really need to be explained? $3499 is definitely enthusiast compatible. That's beefy gaming PC tier, which is possibly the canonical example of an enthusiast market

The Goodhart's law effect there seems obvious - rather than code getting better, you might just become less rigorous in your reviews and stop commenting as much. You may not even realize your standards are dropping.

Yeah, that's pretty appalling. Regardless of how good the philosophy of something is, if it's as niche and manpower constrained as OpenBSD is then it's going to accumulate problems like this.

Is this an expertly crafted joke response or an extremely depressing authentic AI sales pitch response?

> you just can’t play StarCraft that much better than the best humans I could not disagree with this more. Just the perfect micro part means that computers have a far higher ceiling than humans. No, it is not possible in theory for human

Unless they invent kernel as a service or undertake a remarkably ambitious AI license laundering project, I think you're right.

Anthropic is deemed a betrayer and a supply chain risk for actually enforcing their principles. OpenAI agrees to be put in the same position as Anthropic. It seems like you must actually somehow believe that history will repeat itself, Hegs

If it's incredibly fast at a 2022 state of the art level of accuracy, then surely it's only a matter of time until it's incredibly fast at a 2026 level of accuracy.

I almost feel like the employee/employer distinction is actually worse than tariff fakery because at least tariffs are somewhat confusing to the average person, so you almost see why they get fooled. But I feel like no-one would be foo

Any competent thinker should be able to structure an argument and present it in written form, that's an important skill to have. If someone is unable to write an essay arguing something, unable to articulate complex thoughts and back t

I think it's a joke comment intended to be as stereotypically AI as possible. It even has the emdash!

Does this comment imply that you view "running a decompiler" at the same level of shadiness as stealing your API keys without warning? I don't think that's what you're trying to convey.

I don't think there's really a credible alternate reality where Moore's law just stops like that when it was in full swing. The ones that "could have happened" IMO are the transistor never being invented, or even m

> In 2025, 1.1 million layoffs were announced. Only the sixth time that threshold has been breached since 1993. Wow only 6 times in 30 years! Surely a unique and world shattering once in a lifetime experience!

Which regulation made Apple News have low res PDFs? Which regulation made the search boxes in Liquid Glass transparent and show text from the window behind? The company as a whole has changed across the board.

Well, they did specify your _newly_ freed time. So if you work 8 hours now and AI lets you do that work in 4, then you'll just do double the work in 8 hours, not get more free time. I don't think there's an obvious point to t

I don't think they're being malicious. It is definitely a normal reaction to respond with incredulity at something incredible. As in, someone was actually killed because their friend forked an open source project? There is clearly

It's not based on marketing, it appears to be based on metrics like amount of venture capital raised.

So then you can verify your vote reached the tallying center, but not that it was tallied correctly. Someone can look at your vote and count it wrong. I think that's fine and the best we can do, but the person I replied to said you can

Isn't a vote being verifiably tied to a person actually a bad thing? Then you can actually check what e.g. your wife or kids voted for and punish them if they vote wrong. Or get people to pay for votes, but doing that at scale is obvio

Yeah but it feels terrible. I put as much as I can into Claude skills and CLAUDE.md but the fact that this is something I even have to think about makes me sad. The discrete points where the context gets compacted really feel bad and not li
