In the end, it’s the same answer as to why humans do it: incentives.

Why do we commit financial fraud and destroy the planet? Because there is only one goal that counts: making more money. It’s the only measure of success for powerful people, they are powerful because of it.

If it’s being exploited “in the wild”, it means someone has already found how to chain it, otherwise what would be the point?

I'm sure there are people in this category, but there's also the other category who just want their stuff to work, and now can as AI to do it, without having to follow stupid processes (try contributing to QT...) or arguing for months.

I mean, they're from Scotland, the watch would have to be pretty water resistant to survive more than one day...

The strong language is fully appropriate given the circumstances.

New comment by fguerraz in "I admire Fabrice Bellard. He is almost certainly a better overall programmer"

In 2006, in my first job after uni in France, I wrote a toy PaaS system called CASIMIR based on qemu. It was a lot of fun, I could via a web UI launch VMs, access them via VNC, etc..

I've always had a lot of admiration for Fabrice Bellard, I always wished I was as good an engineer as he is.

Moving to a closed development model => opensource is just a gimmick, especially with a BSD licence.

It’s a good thing because it’s definitely an interesting company worth investing into long term. But not at this valuation. 10% seems reasonable given the profits perspective.

New comment by fguerraz in "How to convert between wealth and income tax"

fguerraz — Fri, 22 May 2026 16:05:13 +0000

This is misleading and not the point of the wealth tax.

If you’re lucky enough that you don’t need to work for your income, you should be taxed. A lot. How much? Enough to make sure you don’t become so rich that your children don’t need to work.

Being rich is not fair, it’s very rarely deserved, and it needs to be taxed unfairly.

This is great news, maybe people are going to start caring about their electronic gadgets more and not treat them as disposable? Maybe longevity is going to become a criteria again?

And then Apple pay and Google pay are not going to implement it, and nobody is going to use it.

This is incredibly light in details, no verifiable claim as far as I can tell.

They evolve and they don’t. People call things whatever they want. How is it going for X/Twitter?

I have renamed the bird Türkiye . It was called Turkey in reference to the country, I think it’s fair to rename the bird too.

So, nothing new?

The cosmic ray hypothesis has been dominant for a few years now.
