I hated that guy so much when I was a fan of Apple. I think maybe he did it on purpose to keep the readership up. I should probably go back and read a few of his rants again with 20/20 hindsight, now that I'm not particularly fond of Apple any longer. I might end up laughing or even agreeing with him.
Anyone remember when the "papers please" trope was always used in movies to skewer Nazi Germany?
Why would you be scared? I keep hearing about how this is the best time ever to be a programmer because typing everything out by hand is no longer necessary. (apparently a lot of AI fans never heard of code generators, but anyway)
$1.5 billion at 150,000 per copyright violation according to DMCA and such. About 10,000 books.
$3000 per book
Ohhhh, yeah, big copyright fines only apply to us little guys, not the "asshole tech" companies.
a less hard problem to solve than bribing a few local governments
Wouldn't it be best if the data centers were just... good neighbors? Like everyone talking about illegal bribes and impossible moonshots when the answer is just don't suck?
I've learned people who hate Java are basically racists who hate Indians.
And all you have to do to find them is say that and wait for people who say "No! Java is bad because..."
Surveillance capitalism LOVES javascript.
The main problem is there isn't a standard "combobox" at all to speak of
But there is. You'll be so happy to learn about datalist today,

Born with 2% Brain, Now Defying Science
I think that's what is known as a miracle and why there are a large percentage of people who consider abortion to be murder instead of healthcare.
I guess you're just going to have to wait for a new owner to unban you like Dr. Malone had to do.
With both SpaceX and Oracle in the toilet, maybe the AI bubble is now finally popping.
Computers could pluralize nouns basically for free already in the 1970s
May I see it? Does it work with all the languages or just English?
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
Tastes pretty bad now, huh?
HORSE PASTE!!! NO!!! NO MEDICINE HAS TWO USES!!! HORSE PASTE!!!
Did I do it right?
Edit: I just learned all the dementia patients have undiagnosed shingles. Please ignore my comment now. :-|
I don’t think we could have a productive conversation together.
Look at yourself. You entitle yourself not only to the tax money of the childless, but also your own retirement at the expense of the next generation as well. You don't even feel the least bit selfish or self centered doing this.
I'm childless. I don't expect anyone to take care of me. Social security will be bankrupt long before I can draw any of it. But you, you still expect to leech off of all of society until the day you die.
Why was this auto [flagged] by HN? I had to vouch this.
Edit: Aaaaand, [flagged] again in 26 minutes with no explanation.
Edit2: Since I'm "posting too fast" once again, I'll just have to reply to you here. "flagged by users" in four minutes? I don't think so. Besides if hacking statscounter was so easy that it happens monthly as you claim (despite that not being proven out on the chart), it seems like a relevant discussion for a site named "Hacker News."
Let's roll out the next dumb cope that every vibe coder replies with... code templates. Code templates are generated by humans. Did you know that copyright law applies to them and if the code template is GPL, then the code it generates is also GPL? Oh, you didn't know that, did you?
https://opensource.org/license/gpl-2.0
the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
Read your licenses.
I don't know where you get this idea.
I got the idea by reading the law,
https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10922
For example, the copyright is valid for X years after the author's death. The copyright transfers to the author's "widow or widower" or "surviving children or grandchildren". Does AI die? Who is the AI's widow? Who is the AI's children and grandchildren?
Oh, yeah, you're just wrong. The law explicity states that copyright belongs to HUMAN authors. Not AI. And courts have repeatedly ruled AI generated work cannot be copyrighted. You're the one who seems a little confused.
The funny thing about the Epstein situation is those children had parents. Where were they? Why did the parents let their children go off to a private island to be "massage therapists" for billionaires? It's not like they didn't know what was going on. Jeff didn't just kidnap Virginia and take her to the island. She went with the full knowledge and approval of her father. Why are the parents blameless? The entire situation would not have happened if the parents did their damn job.
The blind didn't choose to be that way. Grow up. Be the parent and stop being a manchild expecting the world to raise your children for you. You already get generous tax credits for every child, paid for by the childless. I think they are too generous. You already get a generous helping of property taxes to pay for your child's public school (aka, daycare). You leave work early to "pick up the kids" while the childless stay behind and pick up the slack.
I'm not advocating that we take away wheelchair ramps, but you intentionally want to conflate it with that so you can continue to steal money from the childless and force the childess to do your jobs for you. I'm sick of you people acting like your offspring are more important than everyone else. They are not. You will not get age checks. We will vote you down. Everyone is sick of coddling you.
I'm watching as AI afficianados generate code and place copyright licenses on them with some amusement. It's AI generated, so copyright does not apply, nor do your licenses. If you want to argue otherwise, then you have failed to realize that work-for-hire is only automatic for human employees, not AI. So if AI generated code ever does enjoy copyright protection, it's owned by Anthropic and friends, once again, not you.
I'm not using AI agents. I'm not worried about getting left behind. I'm keeping my skills sharp while AI users let theirs dull. My code still enjoys the force of copyright, while they sit precariously between no copyright or copyright they don't own.
No one is against protecting minors
I am. Be a parent. That's your job. Not mine. I don't have children. Stop expecting me to protect yours. The childless are a majority now. Get used to hearing this more often.
His mistake was going to an American hospital at all. For what he paid, he could get a round trip ticket to literally anywhere in the world, then just get realistically priced medical care. The entire American medical establishment needs to end. It's cancer. I won't go. Not even if the alternative is my death. I just won't go. I should probably get some kind of dogtag to wear that explicitly states this if I'm ever knocked unconscious. Just leave me in the ditch man, American medical care is a fate worse than death.
use Rust plus AI-assisted programming
pgrust is licensed under AGPL-3.0
pgrust isn't licensed at all. AI generated code isn't copyrightable. Thanks for spending the tokens I guess.
AI ruined everything. They have to protect "their" code.
Isn't this what HN has been asking for? Let the robot pay for the worker put out of work.
Let us count the excuses in the thread:
back taxes
asbestos
shit hole places
something wrong with it
needs work
jobs
demand better of yourself
Love the last one. I'm reminded of an article I read yesterday, where the author complains about how all the affordable housing was built in low income areas! "Oh no! They built the affordable housing where the people who need it are at!! NOOO!"
https://citylimits.org/where-the-most-affordable-apartments-...
Now let's say the price collapses by 50%. You're stuck and can't sell in a "frozen" housing market... like how the housing market has been since May 2022. And the problem is structural. And it's only going to get worse as interest rates continue to rise to battle inflation. Here's a nice explainer.
Venues did kick out a lot more than 2% of their existing customers until they upgraded their bloodstream.
Only temporarily. Some never mRNAed their bloodstream, then everyone with brain fog forgot about the Trump vaccine and the new normal went back to normal.
Do you sell the t-shirt also? :)
