albedoaon Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

I for one am happy that we have and enforce statutes of limitations. Calling it a kind of "trivial procedural grounds" is wild.

> the court just doesn’t want to do its job.

What do you think its job is.

albedoaon Googlebook

Enough actual Mac user have asked you wtf you're talking about. I'm more interested to know where you picked up the idea, if you care to speak to that too.

albedoaon Using Claude Code: The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML

> has cooled down due to chatbots.

What in the world.

albedoaon Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce

> Has it worked out? No

It's a bizarre take because you have always done it and it has not worked out. What.

albedoaon Show HN: Agent-skills-eval – Test whether Agent Skills improve outputs

You are correct. I'm not sure what the parent is trying to say.

albedoaon The bottleneck was never the code

> Just because your values or principles changed doesn’t make you a suddenly no longer a hypocrite

Uh yes it does?? What are you talking about.

albedoaon The bottleneck was never the code

"both these beliefs" and you label one a Belief and the other a Fact.

albedoaon Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent

> the part where I need Gemini.

This is like saying that the part of driving where you wash dishes is why you, personally, need a dishwasher in your car. There is no feature that would fail the challenge if you can always claim that you need it to render a web page.

Local disk cache is a standard and reasonable feature expected by the vast majority of browser users. You are being obtuse.

albedoaon Zuckerberg 'Personally Authorized and Encouraged' Meta's Copyright Infringement

You were swiftly corrected about your misunderstanding under your original comment. Reposting it here, removing the quote farther from its context, and hoping to not be downvoted again is very weird!

albedoaon Agent Skills

> Give it a few more months

By that time, they will have realized immense value before seeing some of what you see. Sounds like an endorsement of spec-kit.

albedoaon VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage

It was pretty obvious from your first comment that you were going to get creative with the definition of "constructive".

> are you interested in my opinion on (n)vim?

The first comment is three short lines. One of them is the extremely reasonable and relevant question of where else this has happened in VSCode.

And you think that the commenter is wondering about your opinion on (n)vim? That is what you think they are interested in?

Could you just, like, ignore the signature if it is distracting you from the only other line that has a question in it?

albedoaon Granite 4.1: IBM's 8B Model Matching 32B MoE

Maybe you could tell him what you want instead of making him guess.

albedoaon Zed 1.0

I also thought that it was perpetual. Maybe they changed it. Either way, the three-year subscription is news to me.

albedoaon Interview with Bob Odenkirk

Triples is best.

albedoaon Asahi Linux Progress Linux 7.0

I stay 0 major versions behind with macOS and have a pretty stable experience.

albedoaon An update on recent Claude Code quality reports

Did you reply to the wrong comment? I don't see that implied here at all. What?

albedoaon Isopods of the world

Such a good-faith question!! Your colleagues must love seeing your face <3

albedoaon Tim Cook's Impeccable Timing

Interesting. Do you think that "I forgot to push a button and had to wait a week to receive a new release" supports or counters the claim that new releases are sometimes hard to find for a period of days.

albedoaon Show HN: Shader Lab, like Photoshop but for shaders

What would it take for you to ever admit that you are wrong.

albedoaon New iPhone age and identity checks restrict internet freedom in the UK

The comment that you are replying to is saying that it's not exclusive to Apple and gives a non-Apple example. Your link has zero instances of the string "Apple". What am I missing.

> The law is about platforms that deal in pornography, self harm, etc

So...not exclusive to Apple.

albedoaon Generative art over the years

> An early phyllotaxis spiral, circa 2016.

What a strange claim. How late is too late to be considered early?

albedoaon Microsoft is employing dark patterns to goad users into paying for storage?

I would love to hear the excuse that the mods have for this title change. Good luck to them!

albedoaon Moving from WordPress to Jekyll (and static site generators in general)

Let the man try to feed his family with *checks notes* internet points.

albedoaon Microsoft is employing dark patterns to goad users into paying for storage?

This is some real title gore, and I don't know who is to blame. As it appears:

> Microsoft is employing dark patterns to goad users into paying for storage?

That Microsoft is employing dark patterns is neither surprising nor a question. Can you explain this gross departure from the actual title jpmitchell[1]? Here is the original for reference:

> How Microsoft abuses its users

This is much more interesting and accurate.

albedoaon Claude mixes up who said what

The comment that is being responded to describes a behavior that has nothing to do with determinism and follows it up with "Given this, you can't treat it as deterministic" lol.

Someone tried to redefine a well-established term in the middle of an internet forum thread about that term. The word that has been pushed to uselessness here is "pedantry".

albedoaon OpenAI says its new model GPT-2 is too dangerous to release (2019)

The comment that you are replying to does not mention a ratio.

albedoaon US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire

> Is that really your best argument?

(That is your argument.)
