mwkaufma··on Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why
... because the AI promise is all hype?
mwkaufma··on Blender's UI and Runtime: Much Faster Than GPUI
It's just obviously trying to ride coattails with vibe-shit. If "blender" wasn't in the name it wouldn't be on the HN frontpage.

Feels like intentional brand-confusion with Blender.
mwkaufma··on Copper – A minimal low-level programming language with OOP and generics
"Copper is a programming language that I use as a replacement to C."

That's used... to make what?

mwkaufma··on Common Desktop Environment available now as open-source
(2012)?
mwkaufma··on Are stochastic parrots alive?
A truly thoughtless "thought experiment."
mwkaufma··on Python's experimental JIT to be removed
The sus bit is that the PEP they requested greatly increased the scope of the feature.

>> For example, rather than proposing one single concrete JIT implementation, it may make more sense for the PEP to describe a JIT infrastructure that can support multiple implementation strategies.

mwkaufma··on Python's experimental JIT to be removed
The poison-pill requirements had their intended effect: https://discuss.python.org/t/an-announcement-from-the-steeri...

It would have been more honest to just cut the feature instead of haranguing a developer until they withdrew it.

mwkaufma··on Reverse engineer of PC-98 Touhou games retires
Gotcha, thanks for the context.

(not to mention vilifying the Actual Touhou Developers and positing an incoherent east-vs-west honor system)

I'm all here for testimonials about the harms AI hype brings to niche communities, but the messenger's idiosyncracies here tell a different story than the headline.

Bellyaching about a benign-if-mildly-presumptuous BSD request by making a point to complain abou C++ Modules support, of all things, doesn't demonstrate a less-narrow perspective on the part of the maintainer.

Also, comparing AI skepticism to GamerGate really reveals a mind forever locked in decades-old grievances.

mwkaufma··on ASML's strong orders ease fears AI spending boom is running out of steam
Everything's fine, don't look at CoreWeave's ticker, look at (picks random other healthy company) ASML instead.

mwkaufma··on I hired an illustrator to draw my house. Now it's my Home Assistant dashboard
"I hired an artist but only credit them in a tiny footnote."
mwkaufma··on Zig v0.17.0
Warming up to LLMS... explicitly _after_ full branch-coverage and fuzzing.
mwkaufma··on Dots: Always-on agents
Didn't expect their branding to lift from Tim Heidecker's Dootle Dots, but here we are.
mwkaufma··on What is the best shape of a city? Modelling effect of urban form on distance
(has played sim city thousands of times since 1993) "I got this."
mwkaufma··on Does Georgism work? Five years later
No I don't. I believe landlords grab any excuse to price gouge. You're tilting at a strawman.

Edit 1: We agree rent is a problem, we disagree that your LVT "one weird trick" is effective, and I'm hostile to the trojan-horse-end-of-income-tax which gets this stuff on HN in the first place.

Edit 2: you'll win more hearts without the patronizing/smug rhetoric.

Freely choose to pass.
mwkaufma··on Does Georgism work? Five years later
Evidence is presented suggesting landlords don't lower rent when costs go down, and a hand-wavy claim is made by-symmetry that they won't raise rents when costs go up. It's nonsense, there's nothing to rebut.
mwkaufma··on Does Georgism work? Five years later
Buried in the middle, a whole section on "won't landlords just pass costs into tenants" passed over with the weakest deflections. This is willful naivety.
mwkaufma··on Tokens too cheap to meter
Magical thinking intensifies.
mwkaufma··on I don't want the details
Bootlicking apologia for a bad boss.
mwkaufma··on Socialism's Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time
Dems' are a center-right party.
mwkaufma··on What Capital Never Told You About Rent
Pretty milquetoast analysis which I'm sure ruffles the feathers of all the landlords in the peanut gallery on this site, but what's really objectionable is the periodic terrible AI-generated images.
