> Are they going to silently rename it in 6 months?

Probably when they update it, if they decide to keep the product line going.

> but try running Xcode + iPhone simulator (a basic development workload by Apple standards) with 8GB of RAM on Tahoe, and get ready for a lot of waiting and stutter

I don't think that's what this machine is designed for.

> clear link between consuming pornography and it programming the brain to want things

So by consuming lesbian pornography, what am I programming my brain to want?

There was a joke there that you missed.

> Nobody serious disputes that Gazan civilians are suffering enormously. The argument isn't about that.

Why isn’t it?

They may not be legally allowed to.

I certainly wouldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt.

> The way that it appears to be playing out is that parents were repulsed by perverted and strange worldviews being taught to their children on their dime.

That’s definitely not how this is playing out.

> poised to instigate maximum arguments

That may actually be why it was done.

How did you get it to not generate dull, soulless, pointless stories?

Later: ohno

Maybe we do yearn for the mines after all…

> Who cares if some idiot makes some ai shit and doesn’t learn anything?

Nobody cares, that’s the point. Yet they still share them on Show HN.

> If he weren’t as out-of-favour I imagine nothing would have happened

But the trickling of Epstein news is why he's out-of-favor, isn't it?

> Open Source as a concept is surprisingly in a vulnerable project

Yes, that’s been a known problem for a while. This comic: https://xkcd.com/2347/ is a popular illustration of the problem from 2020, but the problem itself was well known before that.

I don’t think the OP was suggesting maintainers blindly accept PRs—rather, they can just blindly reject them.

American capitalism doesn’t worry about long timescales, beyond a year or two.

> Alex Karp must have deep cognitive dissonance and likely suffers for it.

Or, he has no qualms about lying.

Surely the rules would stop such a thing from happening!

> Accenture is definitely not the company that enabled Enron. Definitely not.

That one always breaks my brain. They just changed their name! It’s the same damn company! Yet people treat it like it’s a new creation.

If I recall correctly, people were assuming that Friend AI didn't bother waiting for people to vandalize it, either—ie, they gave their ads a lot of white space and then also scribbled in the angry graffiti after the ads were posted.

> 2D animation deserves an open-source option that isn't a toy. We've been working with a professional animator to guide feature priorities and ensure we're building something that actually fits real production workflows - not just a tech demo.

If you want people to understand that it's a real production tool and not a tech demo, your example animation in your readme should show a real production animation. Currently, what you're showing makes it look like a toy.

There is no end to the self-destruction this administration is doing to our country.

Didn't say "God bless you" when I sneezed?

> First, the protagonist is someone they can identify with - a banker, a middle-class job - wrongly convicted, in this horrible situation.

You're right that the protagonist is wrongly convicted, but the narrator of the movie was guilty of murder.

> I found it pretty thin and predictable

I am amazed by your prediction abilities, then. I don't think I predicted any of it.

> due to another F word -- Fraud.

My guess is the R word —- Retirement.

> does that mean that my garbage company no longer needs to employ a staf on every truck to drive it and empty my trash recepticle into the truck?

Do… do you not want them to do this?

The people looking to view this positively will find or imagine a reason to do so, regardless of which jobs it is.

> What we really want to ask ourselves is whether our economy is set up to mostly get things right, or it is wastefully searching.

I can’t speak to the economy as a whole, but the tech economy has a long history of bubbles and scams. Some huge successes, too—but gets it wrong more often than it gets it right.
