Aw man, I'm going to shed a tear, the poor AI companies that stole books, works of art, writings any anything they could get their grubby hands on while happily telling everyone that their jobs are over by the exabyte are getting their precious little tokens stolen by big evil chinese LLMs :(

It's morally right to fuck over Anthropic (and OpenAI, or any other lab). Works generated by AI are not copyrightable anyways, and their terms of service have zero legal value.


Devault being a gigantic dick head has no bearing on whether or not tangled does things. If sourcehut wants to remain the isolated hermit of forges because the greybeards that be think it was better before, let them do so and remain their island of weirdos. We already do the same with the freebsd guys (except that freebsd is actually good and impressive unlike sourcehut)

Sourcehut does not matter, and federation of repos is already a real thing. The ones that don't want to federate just.. don't?


The same Waymo that says that they don't give a shit that they're stopping in bike lanes because their selfish passengers pay for it? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47912645

Good luck to Portland getting fucked by Waymo.


Human drivers (especially Uber/DoorDash drivers) stop in bike lanes all the time without repercussion. Pointing the finger at Waymo for this doesn't negate the larger problem of it not being enforced by local traffic enforcement.

I've personally reported a taxi driver for parking in a bike lane, and I hope he lost his cab license for it because it was really egregious. PBOT actually asked me for official testimony.

Your Godot scene doesn't work in Unreal Engine. I always felt that composition is unnecessarily hard in game engines infrastructure. I do web development as a hobby, and any .js file targeting the DOM works on any browser. I can't even run GDScript in Unity!

You're just comparing the wrong things. Yes, when you're locked into one environment, everything works together well. The moment you interact with outside systems, all hell breaks loose. If anything, what you're saying is just that platforms should have a much larger stdlib, or abstract platform differences properly (hint: this is only doable if you're a game engine and can afford to absolutely ignore _everything_ the OS does and just concern yourself with reinventing every wheel).

Not to say there's nothing good in the games side of things: a bunch of software could benefit from accepting that some systems like a big fat central message bus and singletons can be good when handled well.


If your definition of "real businesses" is "Fortune 500, US based tech company with more money than sense or just happy to bleed VC money", sure, 99.999% of businesses are not real businesses.

You may also have a very narrow view of how the world actually works, left as an exercise to the reader to figure out which one it is


Fortune 500 and VC money are disjoint sets.

Indeed, yours has both more allocations and a bug (+3 instead of +5)

More allocations is a good point but you're being pedantic about the bug... how do you know the +5 isn't the bug? :P

The US is the biggest threat to the world right now, and is actively supporting a genocide in Palestine as well as war crimes in Lebanon.

I'm perfectly happy to let the chinese get a piece of the pie and fight the US, no matter how bad they are right now.


>Valve certainly doesn't seem to give a shit

Valve is nonexistent in the modern gamedev community, Source 2 is used by approximately noone, and overall releasing one game every decade doesn't exactly make Valve a prominent voice in the gamedev community.

However, yes, companies lock their engines at whatever it was when they started their project, and any upgrades comes from internal engineering. Decade long undertakings like the "recent" FF7 remakes are still on UE4 and will stick with that for the third game, because that's what they started with, and at this point the rendering pipeline and workflow is theirs


> he's not a con.

When you're putting the bar that low, sure.

He's about as knowledgeable as the junior you hired last week, except that he speaks from a position of authority and gets retweeted by the entire JS slop sphere. He's LinkedIn slop for Gen Z.


I need you to know that you're defending and justifying war crimes while blindly swallowing the propaganda of a genocidal regime.

Needless to say, it's not exactly making you look too good.
