> was supposed to make future backwards incompatible changes unnecessary

I struggle to think of any system/scheme/protocol/spec/etc that promised this to have actually delivered. One can never predict the future.

They don’t want to: it helps deuce demand for the iPhone via the macOS/iPhone tethering integration, and for calls taken via FaceTime.

It devalues art.

Things get lost-in-translation, and Claude doesn't seek your input for decisions that matter.

...I'm dumbfounded at the idea of using real-life courts to enforce real-life sporting events' streaming rights by getting rapid injunctions against DNS providers as the means of striking at a multiply-redundant head of a piracy hydra when DNS TTLs are often longer than the actual sporting event being infringed upon.

...it's like going after the independent printshop who printed your local telephone directory book to redact known ne'er-do-wells from the directory because a local weed drug deal took place 5 minutes ago but the next telephone directory print isn't scheduled for another 6 months.

also, doesn't DNSSEC prevent this anyway?

To share a joke. Whereas by your logic then George Carlin was not a comedian, but a policy wonk who just happened to use the stage and mic to solicit feedback.

Actually, to be fairer to GP - their _git with vibed storage_ project is not a joke, it’s *art*. And the world needs more art.

> Full on Linux porting effort like Larian did for BG3 is very very rare and extremely hard to justify

Given the zeitgeist, how realistic are the calls to “just get AI to do it”? I’ve been rattled by just how good some one-shot (or otherwise low-human-effort) Claude ports of some games are (and I don’t mean “decomps”, but instead where an existing open-source and already-cross-platform codebase is ported over to new targets like WASM+Canvas, like C&C Generals: the AI-bros are in full-force posting demos of their new ports on a nearly daily basis - so if it’s as easy as these people say, why aren’t we seeing it from the major publishers?

…then the law has no respect, which is a problem.

And yet, won't let me control my Nest Thermostat

(I'm not saying this is exclusively Apple's fault: the lack of Nest interop is Google's fault, but Apple isn't making it easy for third-parties to build Apple-Google bridges either)

…isn’t this the same person who submitted Adobe clones to HN last week and then the thread was deleted by the mods?

My concern is that eventually Apple will require all apps (including non-App Store) to be specially approved by Apple in order to get full-disk-access, even if the end-user wants to allow it; like how there are no third-party iPhone/iPad backup apps.

I think it’s the threshold of them getting-away-with-it without too many people wielding pitchforks.

Antares is also the internal name of Azure App Services platform/infra.

If compression is intelligence, then is this kind of LLM use a sign of dumbness?

That's the ideal, yes.

But the problem with marketing and advertising is that it's impossible to know if a campaign will be a hit - a flop - or the butt of jokes from an entire generation (e.g. New Coke, Jaguar 2025; or it may very well just work despite all the industry naysayers like Apple's translucent plastic look from 1998 - I/we felt no-one would ever buy an overpriced and non-expandable PC that looked like a kid's toy, or a loo-seat laptop.

...of course, what actually happens is the strongest personalities in the C-suite eschew what their MBA course taught them about trusting the experts below them in the org chart; instead they champion their own personal pet ideas, no matter how much predictable damage they'll do to the company's share-price, because they couldn't possibly be wrong; he is the CTO, after-all; very smart!
