which was attributed to me, even though I didn't ask that

I think the ESOL explanation is believable though, I have a coworker or two who do the same thing

Personally, I agree with the top comment there.

If you read the actual letter, it's very vague and uses a lot of flowery language.

Definitely not the sort of thing that raised alarm bells in my mind given how the letter was written.

I'm just saying that there's no evidence I'm aware of that would prove or disprove that the creators were involved.

Personally, I think crypto types are bizarre enough that I could believe they would do something like that unannounced.

In my mind, it's the same behaviour as the infamous Kylie Jenner "get her to $1 billion" GoFundMe from a few years back: https://www.businessinsider.com/kylie-jenner-gofundme-fans-c...

BAGS is a crypto platform where relative strangers can make meme coins and nominate a recipient to receive some or all of the funds.

In both Steve Yegge and Geoffrey Huntley's cases, tokens were made for them but apparently not with their knowledge or input.

It would be the equivalent of a random stranger starting a Patreon or GoFundMe in your name, with the proceeds going to you.

Of course, whether you accept that money is a different story but I'm sure the best of us might have a hard time turning down $300,000 from people who wittingly participate in these sorts of investment platforms.

I don't immediately see how those left holding the bag could have ended up in that position unknowingly.

My parents would likely have a hard enough time figuring out how to buy crypto, let alone finding themselves rugpulled by a meme token is my point so while my immediate read is that pump and dump is bad, bad relative to who the participants are is something I'm curious to know if anyone has an answer for

> These days I don’t read much code anymore. I watch the stream and sometimes look at key parts, but I gotta be honest - most code I don’t read.

I think it's fine for your own side projects not meant for others but Clawdbot is, to some degree, packaged for others to use it seems.

We may not have any evidence that they had forklifts but we also can't rule out the possibility entirely :)

Eric had also once said in a CNBC interview "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

For the first part of this comment, I thought "trying to reinvent Istanbul in a bash script" was meant to be a funny way to say "It was generating a lot of code" (as in generating a city's worth of code)

It alleged that Claude was used to draft a memo from Pam Bondi and in doing so, Claude's constitution was bypassed and/or not present.

To be clear, I don't believe or endorse most of what that issue claims, just that I was reminded of it.

One of my new pastimes has been morbidly browsing Claude Code issues, as a few issues filed there seem to be from users exhibiting signs of AI psychosis.

That said, I dread having to do anything CLI related, which for hobby projects is like once every few weeks.

Glancing at the docs for Sprite, I worry that this will be another CLI where a good 95% of the time that I go to invoke a command, my workflow is interrupted by an auto-updater that takes longer than whatever interaction I'm trying to do and derails my train of thought.

Without a signature, Gatekeeper will throw up a dialog saying "This app could contain malware" or something to that effect.

If you're using other libraries, such as the Sparkle Framework (a popular macOS Objective-C(?) library for updater logic), I believe you have to sign those as well.

That said, the autoupdater may have technically been a second .app bundled within the main one and trying to launch it resulted in a failure to recognise the certificate.

As far as I understand, certain compilers such as Go are signed themselves and technically fiddle with created binaries in an above-board way that they pass Apple's requirements, otherwise you would have to explicitly allow them to run every time.

Having signed some open-source apps myself though, I didn't realise that certificates could retroactively expire. I haven't tried but I assumed that you would just be unable to sign new versions.

For myself, Grandia is one of those games that was part of my childhood so despite having flaws, it transcends ratings in a sense.

It was the first game I ever got on the first home console I ever had, the PlayStation 1. I would only have been about 9 or 10(?) (31 now) and the intro to the game is burned into my mind because I never had a memory card for quite some time so I'd replay the opening hour or two over and over until it was time for dinner or bed.

Eventually I got a memory card and my next entry was Digimon World 2003 and I wonder to what extent that lead to me being interested in computers generally and ultimately becoming a developer as a day job.

To this day, I've still yet to finish Grandia. I picked up the HD Collection on Switch and I'm about halfway. Every time I go on vacation (or particularly during the Christmas holidays), I'll progress a bit. There's no real rush though in that once it's over, it's over. I don't really tend to replay titles, particularly long RPGs.

It's also kind of weird actually seeing the rest of the game too. For the longest time, I had no idea where the story was going. I've still mostly managed to avoid spoilers as well so I conceptually don't know where the story ends up which is nice, given years of reading Wikipedia synopsis only to regret it later.

> A total joy… but one that demands an intense time commitment. A player Justin’s age surely has the time

I found this part funny because I was Justin's age when I first played Grandia and never found the time then let alone now
