> What MSFT support policy do you need to have the legendary Raymond Chen take a look at it?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Do you honestly believe the Trump administration will set aside their anti-vaccine vengeance tour and anti-woke activism because someone talks to them persuasively??

You can't use logic to get someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into.

> there are competing demands placed on this finite source

The US national debt has gone up by 2 trillion under the current administration. They are spending money they don't have at a faster rate than any time in history.

Whatever else you can say about the cuts to science, you can't say they're due to "competing demands." They're not cutting in order to fund better research, they're cutting (in the most counterproductive way) to send a message to scientists that politically inconvenient research is not welcome.

> Are you saying that this isn't political? It's literally about politics.

Sure it's about politics, but it's also about tech. The intersection of politics and tech is a fascinating area, of great interest to many folks on HN, and probably within HN's charter.

I think that merely touching on politics should not be grounds for flagging a submission, even when the specifics are highly controversial (as in this case).

> Capitalism allows individuals to take decisions in a free market.

Capitalism provides a set of incentives that shape how people make decisions. Anyone can be selfish, but selfishness in capitalist society has a particular shape. To ignore the external incentives when looking at human behavior is horribly naive and shortsighted, but is frequently done by capitalism-apologists who seek to disregard any criticism of their favorite incentive system.

Correct. Unfortunately, that's not how capitalism makes decisions.

What I said, in part, is:

Why are you lying about what I said when everyone can see it?

Huh? Have you forgotten Clippy, the first AI agent?

> Tracking the currents isn’t going to have any effect on the currents.

That's exactly why I never get tested for sexually-transmitted diseases. I mean, I'd rather not know, right??

You are missing the point.

Windows is not a platform for serious people.

And CPython runs Python bytecode, which is basically running in a Python virtual machine.

I am not sure what GP is objecting to.

There is, however, a large shortage of sense of humor.

Instead of using AI actors, couldn't we address Hollywood's actor shortage some other way?

For example, we could tap the federal Strategic Actor Reserve, or import actors from actor-rich countries such as France and Belgium.

A more apt analogy: I don't consider North Sentinel Island to be part of the modern world, since there is no relevant innovation going on there, it has no influence on the rest of the world, and there is nothing to be learned there.

If OP wanted to know whether WinDbg and debug.com can be considered feature-similar, they could have read my first comment [1], where I specifically said that debug.com is a "debugger, *assembler*, and *disassembler*". Of those three features, WinDbg provides one.

WinDbg is just a debugger: it does not assemble or disassemble. It can't patch running programs in memory. Moreover, I don't consider Windows to be part of the modern era, as I haven't used a Windows machine for 20 years.

So, no, WinDbg has nothing to do with debug.com.
