I liked it. Spotted one grammar mistake though. I like even that - an ai doesn’t make that kind of mistake.

He couldn’t care less.

Or maybe he could care less, but doesn't even bother to care less because caring less would exert effort and he doesn't care enough to exert any effort.

Own the grammar mistake, my dude :)

The grammar mistake was done by a different person

Didn’t do it, Nobody saw me do it, Can’t prove anything.

It's not a grammar mistake. It's faulty logic.

He could care less is the common phrase by now, even if it doesn't make literal sense.

"Could care less" used as a snarky response makes sense, as in, "I could care less, but I don't want to put in the effort." Using that phrase without a sarcastic intonation is still incorrect.

Could care less meaning couldn't care less. It's the same thing as how literally has come to be used with the meaning of figuratively. If you look up "could care less" in the OED you'll find it lists it under American English with the meaning "could not care less."

More for us, then!


> Unless AI use becomes a KPI in your annual review.

That’d be an insta-quit for me :)


You joke but don’t forget there’s an actual product called “product name” pro max (an iPhone lol)

Ffs... I actually had no idea lmao.

Well, that does make sense then.


Never see anything Microsoft does in the direction of open source as “they have seen the light”. It’s a trap. Claiming open source friendliness is the bait, Windows is the trap itself.

Yeah I remember when they bought Github and my coworker was telling me how they've turned a new leaf and want to support foss... nope, they wanted to train an AI on all the code there.

Yep, see VS Code etc.

This whole thread is basically frogs praising the cozy warming water in the pot.


What specifically about VS Code?

I personally don’t use it, pretty much just cause I’m comfortable with my current development environment, and nothing has spurred me to migrate in a while. I’ve been vaguely suspicious to see Microsoft rapidly gain such a huge market share with VS Code, but I don’t know any specific criticisms about it.


VS code is designed to fracture. https://ghuntley.com/fracture/

Sounds like the argument is while it’s technically open source, trickiness with the licenses makes it basically impossible to legally fork it into a usable software. That sounds plausible to me, I’m no lawyer.

But isn’t Cursor a wildly successful VS Code fork, done legally? (I assume if it were in violation of licenses, Microsoft would have already destroyed them.) Seems like a glaring exception to this argument.


The secret sauce in Cursor is checks notes ignoring Microsofts license terms and hacking around Microsofts countermeasures and attempts at blocking them. See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43587420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43616838 etc.

Untrue. OS/2 for windows leveraged the user’s existing copy of windows for os/2’s compatibility function instead of relying on a bundled copy of windows, like the “full” Os/2 version.

Os/2 basically ran a copy of windows (either the existing one or bundled one) to then execute windows programs side by side with os/2 (and DOS) software.


Extinguish! Mind the alliteration! :)

My apologies! That makes it that much better

There’s a lot more to seamanship and crewmanship than propulsion methods. Cuauhtemoc is a training ship designed to teach that, not primarily how to work sails. Also it was built in 1982 so I fail to see how it should be a museum ship since it’s not that old or historic.

Electrical power (for lights) may well be decoupled from engine power for the propellers.

Yep. Sailing vessels have batteries and generators to power things when under sail.
