fwiw, there's a telling detail about ptaček's attitude to people who he doesn't see as his equals or peers: today is a second day in a row when he's not able to use proper pronouns with regard to hazel weakly (who dared to criticise his article), despite being corrected by more than one person.

it's either malice, or the principal engineer at fly dot io is not able to remember a single fact despite being informed about it three times.

he's not a bad programmer, which is part of the problem here.

precisely. a fucking shame.

i always thought that some canadians do get sarcasm.

China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery and slave labor.

so, just like the united states when it suited them, no? do read about united states in nineteenth century once. oh, and: you do realise that slavery in some circumstances is still legal in the u.s.?

“don't imitate other people's accents, it's rude”. less than 10 words.

i would swear that in an earlier version of this message the optimal batch size was estimated to be as large as twenty.

maybe try to learn from the past

we did. you just don't listen.

:-)

oh, typical techdirt eu-bashing, this time again because we have regulations.

(i wouldn't be surprised if they're conflating regulations with panic on purpose and packing valid criticism of llms and image plagiarism generators with the ridiculous tescreal screeds just to discredit the former; masnick's primary stance was always extreme tech libertarianism and american exceptionalism, and the whole publication follows this)

one day i'll finally catch a lobste permaban thanks to your links :-)

I liked ptaček better when he still knew he doesn't know everything.
