Counterpoint: Adding in a custom, proprietary interpretation of your data makes your complex task more complicated.


Howso? :)


> Why do they outsource something that is meant to have been written by a human

Says who? The point of the summary is so that I don't have to go look at the diff and figure out what happened.


The point of the summary is also to explain "why" something was done, most Claude-generated PR descriptions I've been seeing go through the "what" and "how" but if the human-in-the-loop didn't care to precisely describe the "why" it is just an English version of the changes made in the code... I can just read the code for that, give me the reasons behind the diff and I'm a happy camper.


If you have a large PR the existence of a good summary on "what" changed can help you to make a better review.

But I agree with you, when reading PR descriptions and code comments I want a "why" not a "what". And that is why I think most LLM-generated documentation is bad.


People still understand metallurgy and casting even though machines make all the paperclips.


> After about 4 hours and $75

Huh? The max plan is $200/month. How are you spending $75 in 4 hrs?


Enterprise plan. We've been instructed that our goal is to spend at least as much as our salary.


> is to spend at least as much as our salary

Reads as a very distopian "let's see how many people we can replace"


> and this is the problem

Why? The software is still there and you can still go choose to use it.


Current social consensus is that copyright exists and one can only use software on conditions stated in license. Thus, proprietary and copyleft have same protection.

Another possible consensus would be that copyright don't exist, and anyone can copy proprietary or copyleft work and improve it. Nobody would be harmed in such situation, original author still have its copy. I would have no problem with such state - but it must be same for everyone, not just FOSS.


If I release something as MIT or Apache, all I want is some credit, either for my own self-satisfaction or for resume fuel.

If a library I wrote was used by BigCo, then I could point to their license file and mention that in a job interview or something. If they have Claude generate something based on my code, they don't put it into their license, I don't get the resume fuel, and my work is unrewarded.

I have gone back and forth about how I feel about AI training on code, and whether I think it's "theft", but my point is that the original code being available is kind of missing the point.


Copyright is about originality and expression, not effort. US copyright law does not use "Sweat of the Brow" doctrine.


The labor theory of value is bunk economics anyway.


What is a black bar?


when a significant figure in the tech/science community dies, hn will sometimes place a thin black bar at the top of the page in memoriam


Ruby has always been typed.


> I wonder if it's using the background tile map for this instead of sprites

Yes, it's all background tiles being loaded continuously from the SD card. We created the tiles with a custom tile de-maker.


Very cool, thanks for the info :)


The bitrate of the PCM is determined based on how quickly you can write a byte to the register. The fastest you could write general data is once every 6 cycles, which gives ~298 MHz of sample rate, so 44.2 kHz is easily doable if that's all you want to do with the CPU.


Do you mean 298 KHz? I thought the 6502 on the NES was slightly over 1MHz
