I switched from OpenAI models to using Anthropic ones some time ago, and every once in a while I briefly check in again just in case. I continue to be amazed at how infuriating OpenAI's agents are. They do things I never asked for, make decisions I didn't ask them to make, impute assumptions I never suggested, and just generally rapidly piss me off. I find it maddening, and then I immediately switch back to using Claude and it's like an immediate wave of relief washes over me because Claude just always seems to follow along with me and do what I actually want.

A new surface vehicle for naval warfare is absolutely bonkers in the modern era. Even in the littoral space where notionally you don't have the depth for a sub-surface launcher, the LCS project was a complete bust. For anything in deep water, a submarine platform is so much more useful for projecting force and not a sitting duck.

Yes but you have to account for the barely-functioning melted brain factor. Reality just can't compete when an old man goes "pew pew! zoom!"

On macOS if you drag a synced HEIC photo from Photos.app to the Finder it automatically gets converted to a JPEG.

> everything seems to have settled on 5.1

Not exactly. LuaJIT has backported various hot features from 5.2 and 5.3 as long as they're unlikely to break 5.1 code.

True. But

1. The luajit documentation basically just had a list of features. AFAIK there isn't any documentation that combines the 5.1 reference with luajit extensions (including things that were backported)

2. In some cases, for example Neovim, luajit extensions aren't guaranteed to be available. It just says there will be a lua runtime compatible with 5.1. Which means a truly portable neovim plugin can't use those extensions

3. There are features from later lua versions I would like to have (in particular <const> and <close>) that will probably never get backported.

4. Some features require luajit to be built with special flags

Not true, see "Extensions from Lua 5.2" here: https://luajit.org/extensions.html

No, real LuaJIT has some features from 5.2 and 5.3

That video has so few pixels and so few frames, there is no way to say who that is or what they are doing or if the video is even real.

Maybe they're anti-capitalist.

bravo

> During the same period, mortality inequality across counties rose 30 percent, accompanied by an increasing rural health penalty

Surely women aren't a 30% greater percentage of rural county dwellers than urban county dwellers, though?

Developments in technology, innovation, and commerce are all inherently value-laden, because those things are nothing without their users and their uses and their contexts, and values are politics. Eliminating politics from HN just means eliminating HN.

I notice that your style of pleading appears only ever on articles of a very particular subject category, namely conversations highlighting a particular US group being liars and grifters and abusers, and not on any of the other inherently political subjects discussed on HN, like

software freedom,

the value of historical preservation,

the moral position of hacking,

libel,

the justice of DRM,

privacy and the inherent injustice and dangers of televisions monitoring what you watch,

how old is old enough to use social media,

AI eliminating, or not eliminating, people's livelihoods that they depend on to eat, house, and clothe themselves,

whether AI training data is spying, stealing, or fair use,

the human value of AI-generated media,

whether warrants should be needed to access data about you,

whether data about you is yours,

the relationship between increased accumulation and centralization of wealth and decreased personal autonomy,

and so on.

I find it strange how participants in your refrain don't seem to see the politics in those conversations, only in this particular one. It's almost like your values and politics are showing. This suggests to me a non-rigorous understanding of the reach of what politics means and where it comes from.

I'm annoyed by the stay, but I'm more annoyed that the desired penalty is just a 30 day suspension. No fine, no refunds for sales made under false pretenses.

I honestly don't want to make this political and I'm not a libertarian. But this reminds me of something a libertarian once said. That courts would find companies liable for their crimes and someone would go to jail.

My question: Why isn't someone going to jail, when they have clearly broken a law?

> My question: Why isn't someone going to jail, when they have clearly broken a law?

Because the law in question is civil, not criminal, and because the violation was found by an executive branch administrative law judge, not by a court of general jurisdiction in even a civil lawsuit.
