moscoe··on That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus
They do quote anonymous sources all the time, and, more often than not, those anonymous sources are leaking to the media to push their narrative, ie propaganda. The NYT is very clearly the puppet of washington insiders.

The “literal New York Times” doesn't exist anymore. This is not investigative journalism. This is just acting as the mouth piece for some anonymous government official.

moscoe··on I created Perfect Wiki and reached $250k in annual revenue without investors
Comments like this are the real source of dread on HN. The guy built a successful side hustle that clearly has found a place in the market, and people just want to shit on it and virtue signal how much cooler they are than ms teams. If it’s not for you, move along if you don't have anything useful to contribute.
moscoe··on Meta pirated at least 101 of my books, and others
The idea that you can’t train on copyrighted materials is ludicrous, imho. So apparently you don’t want humanity and the future of intelligence to benefit from your work? You just want it to keep it locked up in some archive that virtually no one ever reads?

Might as well say the people who read your books aren’t allowed to teach the concepts or theories. Completely asinine argument. If you don’t want the knowledge to proliferate, then don’t publish. They’re not copying and redistributing.

Meanwhile, jurisdictions outside of us copyright protection will leapfrog us because we can’t get out of our own way.

moscoe··on WWDC 2024 [video]
Remember when WWDC was actually cool/fun? The dad jokes and over the top marketing BS is truly insufferable at this point.

Apple is definitely in its Balmer era. Give us something to get excited about, the presenters aren’t even excited about what they’re presenting.

moscoe··on Passkeys: A shattered dream
Then perhaps Bitwarden… or do you have a bone to pick with them as well?

There are choices.

moscoe··on MKBHDs for Everything
Was there ever any doubt the product was… frivolous. It was a last minute Hail Mary from a startup and the end of its rope. God bless them for trying, but there should be no surprise here.
