Comparing it to Tesla certainly is a choice. I’m amazed at how many ways the cybertruck has found to die on people for example. More varied ways to crash and burn than nethack.

(why are all podcast ads just ads for other podcasts? It’s like podcast incest)

Because they think you live in a real country, not the USA.

old internet

I wonder for how many people this is a reactionary impulse, wanting back to the ‘old internet’ they didn’t actually participate in. At least in modern days the flamewar posts are quite limited in length, in the old days they could reach novel sizes. Anyway sure we should go back to the old internet, where suddenly your whole university had no internet because there was a dos attack on the network to force a netsplit on an a random irc channel.

Waste of a perfectly good fire.

I didn’t take it as such, I just was again a bit confused by the actions cloudflare takes. Assume it is some weird technolibertarian thing.

I’m a little bit in the camp of ‘it might be legal, but that doesn’t mean it is ok’. So I get why people are annoyed. Also copying a whole project and then slamming a different license on it and going ‘jobs done’ very much fits the promptfondler vibe, so im not mad, more of a ‘lol, of course they did’ thing. But that is me.

There are the weirdest people who make ‘content’ out there. For example, I saw a ‘how to start the game’ joke guide on steam, so I went to their page to block them (to see if this also blocks the guides from popping up, doesn’t seem so) and they had made hundreds of these guides, all just copy pasted shit. And there were more people doing the exact same thing. Bizarre shit. (Prob related to the thing where you can give people stickers, gamification was a mistake).

Cloudflare is such a weird company in various ways. Saying loudly that they can’t judge groups when people ask them not to support the neo-nazis, harassers and worse (they have moved on this under pressure, but it takes a lot of pressure). But then they do this.

Exactly the problem im talking about. What about all the good things the confederate state … no wait.

re: how can a chatbot help with life?

This just their brains on science fiction, they think chatbot can help like the independent AI agents could in the science fiction they half remember. Or at least they think marketing it like that will appeal to people.

A lot less, ‘Copilot make this list of bullet points into an email’ and more ‘Copilot, lock on the the intruder, close the bulkheads after them and flush it to the nearest trash compactor’.

I think that ‘giving microsoft the power to do things in my behalf’ is quite an iffy decision to make, but that is just me. Ow look it autorenwed your licenses for you, and bought a subscription Copaint, it even got you a deal not 240 dollars per year, but 120, a steal!

Think it is an attempt to make it easier to feed somebodies work into a LLM. So you know, stealing.

What if a social media site turned evil!

Of course it could get worse.

Lol at them just removing the godot donation links/list of donors and just replacing it with their own. What a grift.

This remark is actually part of a long fight between CS and CS people. And it is really frustrating in various ways, as CS always thinks they did better than CS while being blind of the actual accomplishments of CS they don’t know and just how complex the subject matter is. It is an annoying failure to communicate between both disciplines. (A lot of people don’t fall victim to this btw, but it can be really annoying to encounter a ‘Our CS is good, and theirs is bad because strawman’, who often don’t even realize that various words have different meanings in the different fields).

Confusing ‘solved’ with ‘a computer can win playing vs high level human players a high % of the times’ because they don’t know that ‘solved’ actually has a specific meaning.

Tech reporting has massively fucked up this as well over the years btw, so I’m not that annoyed random HN people also don’t get it. But there is a wikipedia page for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solved_game

Elon musk voice: ‘So euhmmm euuhhh ummm you are ummm euhh saying it has umm some value?’

A common pattern of the angry anti-‘woke’ gamers is that they don’t know how games are made on any level, and they are kept, I think intentionally, in the dark by the people who are stirring the anti-‘woke’ craziness who should know better. And it is about every level, npc ai, engines, financial, external organization structures, community management, how prerelease footage is work in progress, etc etc. It is almost impressive how blind people are towards how their hobby creation works.

Holy shit that is amazing. The thinnest skins. All of this over the promise by God not to flood the world again.

The bikeshed should be RED!

Looked at Grummz twitter, and looks like Notch is also getting involved. With friends like that.

Amazing how this new crop of outrage merchants who touched some game code in the past make Derek Smart look measured and well balanced.

I have no idea what set the drama off btw, I have not really looked into it (could it be that this mod you are talking about was the unofficial mod the godot communication was talking about? Or is that a different mod? And did the redot (wait, re.? please tell me it isn’t a reference to the reeeee thing) people really pick the side of the n-word mod?)

I did see that the guy who started redot basically only forked it and then went ‘any devs wanna take over this fork?’ Very I started the wiki, without even starting a wiki.
