This has been on my mind for the past week, and I'm of the opinion that this will be a landmark decision when we look back from the near future.

When people don't provide a citation online when discussing some specific instance like this-- which could be provided with a couple clicks and would radically improve their argument a reasonable assumption is that the citation would undermine their argument.

If you follow cURL’s development, what you’ll see is the main contributors tend to be extremely patient, helpful, and thankful of contributions. Sometimes too patient. If you look at the HackerOne slop reports cURL got, you’ll see Daniel accommodating people outright wasting their time.

So if you follow what’s been happening, you know the types of reports this message is talking about. What they consider time-wasters are slop reports where the reporter didn’t do any effort to even test the “bug” and then keeps pasting whatever the LLM says in replies and lying about using them.

In other words, for a legitimate report it’s hard to believe that was the reaction. I would expect them to be patient with a human contributor which really put in the work. It’s particularly hard to believe the maintainers would even waste their time to lambast someone on Reddit. Doesn’t seem like their style.

Maybe the person in this thread is exaggerating, maybe they misinterpreted it, or maybe it did happen. But it seems so out-of-character that some proof would be warranted, especially since it’s a single report.

We don’t need anecdotes, every single bug is public. Just looking now I see respectful responses to genuine reports. This document is clearly in response to AI slop and spam.

I skimmed the "slop" collection they maintain that was posted here yesterday, and even under those HackerOne submissions, Daniel was perfectly reasonable and respectful.

It is entirely possible I merely chanced upon his highlights, but this announcement to me really just signifies a final straw breaking than anything else. His historical conduct is all public and speaks for itself. I wish I had the patience and perseverance he does, and I wish he didn't need it.

I'd like to suggest that dev lower their settings: sota model + high + thinking is definitely not needed to do this simple task. Lower settings could easily do it for less than $0.50, maybe even $0.05. I'd encourage people to operate on average to low settings and wind then up or down depending on the prompt task complexity.

Also helps to use big models for planning, small for implementation.

I'm assuming it wasn't the creator that posted this here, and I'm also assuming that the OP has managed to get this working. So @guessmyname can you please post a screenshot of the "fix" in use?

+1 for the nano texture lovers. such a huge QOL improvement if you take your laptop to various places where you can't control the lighting.

After playing until late into the night, I would browse the weather channel, searching for places on Earth experiencing thunderstorms. Clicking on the icon would play a short audio sample of thunder. The whole thing was overflowing with personality and charm. Wii remains my favourite video game system of all time, and I've owned them all—from nuon to gamepark and back.

My wife and I spent a lot of time on the Everybody Votes channel.

She was way more in touch with what the general populace voted on than I was and frequently picked the option that turned out to be popular in our region.

Such a unique game console.

I’ve never heard of this game, so I’m particularly interested in how it played. Unfortunately, the article still leaves some questions unanswered.

I think it might be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJliQ2fsiUA

Thank you!

Yes and the screenshots of game play left me with no better understanding than I started with.

Seems pretty obvious to me just from “four-player, four-monitor arena battle with full eight-way scrolling and AI drones for players not present”.

And it’s clarified with “As a social experience had it been released in 1986, this would have been the grandfather to games like Fortnight; a multiplayer PvP battle arena where each player was supposed to have their own dedicated set of controls and display.”

The main question I had was what was the form of combat. There was no mention of shooting. So what was it? Ramming? Lasers? Magnetism? Bullets? Turns out it is bullets. Boring.

But they did say "a four-player game that was said to resemble Sinistar" but it would have been more accurate to have said "it's literally a 4-player version of Sinistar" and I would have had zero remaining questions.

It’s from 1986, so of course it uses bullets.

Flicky is from 1984 and uses tea cups as the projectile.

Sure, people have been putting different sprites on their projectiles for a long time. But whether it flies in a straight line, drops from the top of the screen, or follows a ballistic arc, a bullet is a bullet. It doesn’t matter what sprite you use.

Not quite. A bullet is a specific type of projectile. Arrows, rocks, and even teacups can be projectiles, but they are not bullets.

I'd say they have plenty of competent people, the problem is management and process.

Is this the fairly new window tiling option? Do you have it enabled?

On macOS you can store secrets in Keychain and then retrieve them with a command (using biometrics by default, or without biometrics if you so wish). The most obvious example is to hook `sudo` up to biometrics using `sudo -A` and askpass to tetris the secret (password).
