Yeah you can not deploy this to customers with the hardware already in production if it mass fixes bugs and improves behavior because those are likely breaking changes.

They have to modernize the code while keeping all weird edge case behaviour. I think this can be done. And I suspect that is probably the request.

The issue is deciding what is weird edge case behavior and what are bugs. It can be a fine line.

yt-dlp works when ever I try it. I do not use it much but ever few weeks when I need to download a streamed youth ringette game, it works great. So while it may be in a constant race, it seems reliable to periodic end users like me.

I realized this earlier this year and dumped Cursor for just vscode along with 20x subs to Claude and OpenAI. Much cheaper and nothing of value was lost.

> Apple never drops prices, never. It will go straight into their margin.

They have dropped the price of the MacBook Air a few years ago and the Mac Mini as well. So your statement is categorically false.

That said, with cpu, ram and storage prices the way they are right now, prices won't be dropping soon. But there is hope long term.

This is a ridiculous demand to make of an early teen in the pre-internet era. You know how hard it was to get information on arbitrary subjects back then like this?

The nature of disruptive solutions is that they can be adopted easily at the bottom of the market - which means in this case people like you rather than at the centrally planned utility.

Yeah, Nuclear is one of those solutions where in an ideal world it makes sense, but in the real world it is just too complex all around make it work.

I am not saying that SimCity predicts the future, rather I had assumptions growing up in that period, probably similar to everyone else at the time, that Nuclear and Fusion were the future of energy. It is cool to see that shift so soundly to solar in just two decades.

Large multi-nationals like CNN can literally never promote eating the rich because their owners must be, by requirement, multi-billionaires. A lowly plebe could not own a multi-national media conglomerate, they are not wealthy enough.

It is amazing that solar, a ridiculous cheap and easy to install solution is winning the energy future. In the past, based mostly on playing SimCity, I would have thought that Nuclear and then Fusion was the future, but solar does seem to be winning and pretty thoroughly.

I guess this is in part because it only needs amazing factories and not complex deployed and maintained infrastructure that is at risk of blowing up.

Solar seems to fix the mould of a disruptive technology to a T.

> And hard left content is promoted everywhere else. What’s the point?

I guess it depends on what you consider to be "hard left".

If you consider anything to the left of Elon Musk's anti-immigrant, pro-White positions, unrestrained capitalism for him (although he is pro-tariffs on foreign EVs), to be "hard left", then yes, it is pretty prevalent, but I would argue that is actually representative of reality.

How is that related to this story? Are you commenting on the wrong Hacker News post?
