AI slop is not a contribution.

This is a really embarrassing post. You stalked the author's online presence, turned up a TCP bridge utility, not really relevant to anything, and tried to shame the author for writing it, all so you can pretend you won an argument on the Internet?

#135Just downloaded source and built this to play around with it. I was a bit surprised that the first thing it did when I ran it was to start downloading binaries from the internet. It went off to fetch FFMpeg from some remote server, but I already have FFMpeg installed. Then it tried and failed to install its own Python interpreter, which is another thing that's already present on the system. How come this is trying to…
This guy just discovered static linking.
May he enjoy an eternal debate about static and dynamic linking, strong types and duck types, tabs and spaces, vim and emacs, less and more, and Kickers and Rockport.

It's probably pertinent to mention that the Python installation ecosystem is a hot mess, with multiple ways of installing Python (e.g. standard Python installer, multiple different packages managers on different OSes, Conda, and myriad package managers which can also install Python. And of course, these can all be in different locations, and may have different approaches to installing libraries. Which is to say, I do…
It's not open source if it has to download binaries from the internet to run.

This is unfortunately becoming more common. Just yesterday, I went to try out some cool new AI thing that was here on the front page of HN. It's written in Python. Great, I thought, that means I can put it into a virtualenv and just rm the whole tree when I'm done and my system will be exactly in the same state it was previously. But sadly... no... the first time I ran it, this Python program started downloading and…
I would, for safety, run the whole thing under a different user.

Most people who contribute on FOSS seriously will not use github for anything important.

#139Looking at the commit history, this came together pretty fast. Assuming it's AI-assisted (hard to know for sure), it's a good example of the opposite of the "AI replaces developers" narrative. AI is making whole categories of projects viable that simply weren't before. Not because they were technically impossible, but because they were too time-consuming for a niche audience to justify the effort. Thanks for the cool…
Similar software existed at the time of windows 95. A pentium 2 could do it.

there's a difference between static linking and downloading your dependencies over the net
