Griffinsauce··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
Because it's incorrect.

Those are (arguably) adversaries but the actor here is Anthropic, which is not an adversary.

Griffinsauce··on BMW Spider-Man in-car advertising
The "lane assist" is very dangerous. I don't understand how this got in cars to begin with, nevermind become mandatory.

It's super "fun" with temporary marking around road works. I bet it works perfectly in a lab but in the real world..

Griffinsauce··on Claude Opus 5
That's a good "decision" but I hope someday they focus on reducing that to one consise sentence instead of 4 sloppy ones.

"after 2019" - you cannot be serious here right?

Griffinsauce··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
> compared to e.g. many popular places in Europe

Citation and lots of specification needed.

These are supposedly our brightest minds..

Griffinsauce··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
This is true but these projects are rarely presented or interpreted as a proof of concept.
Griffinsauce··on Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix
I think this is really an indictment of the platform. Much more stuff should be covered by the browser.

Thanks internet.

Is it ever that simple?

Griffinsauce··on CarPlay Is Additive
I do though in other words "I can have my own stuff in any car immediately, it's especially nice on holiday in a rental"
Griffinsauce··on 30-year sentence for transporting zines is a five-alarm fire for free speech
This depends a lot what evil you're protesting.
Griffinsauce··on AI agent runs amok in Fedora and elsewhere
Well done avoiding the counterpoint and setting plenty of distraction traps along the way. Classic.
Griffinsauce··on Can we have the day off?
Where do you suggest we start? You can't nuke everything at once.
Griffinsauce··on Can we have the day off?
Or change them.

Run over in what way?
Griffinsauce··on Show HN: Audiomass – a free, open-source multitrack audio editor for the web
This is roughly the idea but the platform is very clunky. My band also somehow lost access to some tracks due to permissions vagueries and in general the experience is very enshittified. I would not recommend it.

Reaper makes periodical autosaves.
Griffinsauce··on Electrobun 2.0 will be decoupled from Bun due to the Rust rewrite
6 months is plenty of time to keep ignoring serious tech debt. I don't think your conclusion follows at all from such a short time.
Griffinsauce··on Electrobun 2.0 will be decoupled from Bun due to the Rust rewrite
Bun has always been about velocity over quality.

Their whole point was "drop in node replacement" - instead of hitting that target they built an entire framework of tools, seemingly changing focus every month or two, and are now rewriting all that to a new language.

Griffinsauce··on Postmortem: TanStack NPM supply-chain compromise
We lived through a generation of agism at millennials and now we're turning around and doing it at Gen Z. It's unbelievable.
Griffinsauce··on Gmail registration now requires scanning a QR code and sending a text message
No idea, I didn't say anything about email.
Griffinsauce··on Gmail registration now requires scanning a QR code and sending a text message
In the Netherlands you put a sticker on your mail box with either of these: - NO ads, NO magazines/papers - NO ads, YES magazines/papers

Some municipalities even make it opt-in so you'd need YES/YES to get mail without a name and address on it. (ie. not direct mail)

There are also laws to enable opting out of direct mail (with name and address).

In effect, junk mail is just gone once you slap a sticker on your mailbox. This is not an unsolvable problem if you just regulate things.

Griffinsauce··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
Invoking a different case with bad logic doesn't make this one any stronger. I never understand this impulse, is it just "nuh uh!"?
Griffinsauce··on Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
So actively making the internet worse. Awesome.
Griffinsauce··on Notepad++ for Mac – Independent community port
Proof no, but you can safely apply occams razor here.
Griffinsauce··on Do_not_track
> theoretically > they believe

Exactly. From my experience: the times I've found an ad relevant and worth clicking is about one-to-a-gazillion. Maybe relevance is higher for others but that still doesn't necessarily translate to real value. (ie. your life was improved in any way)

Also, this all presumes the targeting actually works and the current sea ads for shoes I just bought disagree with that. It's all just spam.

Griffinsauce··on Do_not_track
> The internet only took off because the primary business model which ran on ads and derivative information that servers do to their users.

Arguable, on the other hand it did kill the internet. (or, almost so far, we'll see whether we rebound after decades of enshittification)
