"two paragraphs suggesting bad business ideas should stop, as sarcastically as possible."

Oh yes, by all means, let’s keep investing in terrible business ideas—because who doesn’t love the thrill of watching money vanish faster than dignity at a karaoke bar? Let’s keep pushing forward with “Uber, but for pigeons,” or “AI-powered fax machines,” because what the world really needs is yet another subscription box that sends people socks they didn’t ask for. Forget innovation—mediocrity is clearly the gold mine we’ve all been ignoring.

And please, let’s never stop brainstorming more brilliant schemes like “gluten-free water” or “solar-powered flashlights” (for nighttime use, naturally). The market desperately craves apps that remind you to breathe, or perhaps a service where you pay extra for the privilege of picking your own groceries. Honestly, bad business ideas shouldn’t stop—they should be cherished, nurtured, and written about in MBA textbooks under the chapter titled “How to Fail Faster Than Light.”

An entire industry of YouTube based explainers will now proceed to interpret Linus's latest statements for the next two weeks.

It's Canva so testing isn't a priority.

You solve loneliness by either, going out and meeting people, keeping busy and doing things or learning to accept it.

These c**ts of things will drive people to suicide when the money runs out.

There will be plenty of money cleaning it up in a few years time..

Person after person told them not to use a sub constructed this way and still that Rush guy just kept on going.

I have given some of these AI coding assist tools a red hot go, and I spend more time deleting the absolute specious garbage they produce than anything else. The only time it is actually useful is when it is behaving like traditional content assist. Outside of that it's mostly producing crap. Even with perfect knowledge of the rest of the code base it still suggests stuff that is blatantly wrong. The also seem monumentally shit at test creation.

the sun don't shine..

Seriously though, can't they just stop with this crap. Stuff is unreliable at the best of times.

They are burger joint, you go there to eat average to bad food that triggers all the feel goods..

Enter with ones eyes wide open and enjoy a kind of food based hedonistic delight and you go home and feel guilty afterwards.

Go there a couple of times a year, enjoy it, all while knowing you will feel hungry again an hour or so later.

I guess if your entire business is generating specious rubbish then using an AI would be an advantage..

I had to implement a bunch of native accelerations for a java api and I started using Rust only to find that virtually the entire thing from handling JNI calls and gaining critical access to java byte arrays through to the calling the CPU intrinsics was unsafe. Switched back to C because Rust didn't provide any additional safety and people take the C related issues seriously because C lacks the vaneer of security that Rust has.

I didn't mind the odd general discussion on how they compromised Google etc but an awful lot of money has now just gone down the tube for no useful purpose except perhaps to satisfy a Gen-Y's sudden burst of conscience.

Which kind of explains why senior Australian and American politicians have been in Indonesia recently..

Hate to be the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia at the moment..

Rumour has it that the Indonesians regularly send encrypted birthday greetings for Australian operatives so we will probably just end up with another round of mock outrage and contrition from both sides and then it will be back to the cricket..

I think that its a shame Shirley Temple Black is dead because now there is no one to lead a global round of "Good ship lollypop."

I support the sentiment of these guys but your code is going to be running on a platform that is largely exploitable by most English speaking foreign governments and possibly well funded crooks.

What this means is that no matter how good your software is it will be ultimately rendered useless by going after the host platform and memory.

Also anything that uses a public key exchange is only secure because certain reversals of transformation are 'hard'. There is no universality to hard, what is hard for me may not be hard for you.. Globally governments and crooks seek out and employ people who are good at working with hard.

Then there are all the other sources of issue, like suitable entropy, which is not to be scoffed if something is 20% less random than is should be then that is a huge advantage.

However most of the above is a bit unfair though because they will not be in a position to do much about it but it does need to be considered by the users though.

Cool, trust the Chinese Generic diversity makes it harder for disease to take hold.
Cloning removes that barrier.
