What we've accomplished here strikes fear into the hearts of that so-called democratic Europe. This is a brand new level of democracy they’ve never even witnessed. Their politicians are just as much careerists as ours used to be. They are terrified that if we’ve proven this is possible, why couldn't the exact same thing happen to them? They’d prefer that no one hears about this anywhere at all—imagine, picking people straight from the people, without a political career, uncorrupted people with no baggage! God willing, everyone will rise up just like we did and wreck the political elite everywhere.

we still use text, only we no longer rely on these awesome vim, emacs, helix advanced features, instead you spit out commands in English, tell what you want to achieve, your AI does it for you, nobody bothers learning these systems

In the grim dark future, there is no longer need for a text editor

You surely mean 'what your claude agents are working on'?

They learned from the best.

Do you actually believe in their altruistic goals?

That is not accurate either, a large percentage of bugs historically were never crashes but subtle or less subtle incorrect behavior.

Yes.

I like these AI threads with everyone's measurement of how good a model is starting with: "it feels like..." and that says a lot on how incapable we are to judge and compare these models.

How were they allowed to "sell" those titles in the first place then? Because it was never implied that access might be lost or restricted,it was very much sold to customers,not rented.

As for Destiny not working,this is a related but different problem, stopkillinggames tries to tackle it, but both issues go hand in hand.

1. If we give up physical copies,we lose ownership,as simple as that

2. Server side components must be released by the publisher once they take offline a game, as long as that game was "sold" to the customer

So ownership is a very important component in this, don't make it sound absurd.

Because Sony and all digital publishers with the exception of GOG are lying thieves. This is just another step in getting rid of ownership, and we are too naive and passive to stand up against it. Physical copies are a must to retain any sense of ownership over purchased games. If this is done, it must be forbidden to show "Purchase" on playstation store as that implies ownership,which it will never be. Also just look at the parallel issue that happened exactly these days with Sony deleting purchased movies from libraries. The same will happen with games. This is legalized theft.

Sure, just to clarify, I am not arguing that c++ doesn't work, only that c++ produced binaries are either having more dll dependencies, or are more bloated (in size). I also tried clang-cl and MingW, and while both work, the binaries produced by them are even larger then any MSVC produced (regardless of how I try to optimize it). C is a winner when it comes to binary size.

Even trivial stuff causes the linking to vcruntime, this is an extra dll dependency that I don't tolerate, no msvcrt, no vcruntime, nothing except core Win32 dlls are allowed on the platform. Static linking can relieve some of this pain, but that bloats the binary. C++ simply does not allow the same level of minimalism that can be achieved by C, and for many these are unimportant details, for me they are deal breakers and this is a core pillar of my architecture.

Understood, yes, but I described my reasons in my reply to another comment already. Your proposed solution is not equivalent to what I am doing, it cannot work on all the systems I support, and would never be as dependency free.

Have you checked what dll dependencies you get if you build such an app? And have you actually tried running such an executable on win9x?
