> Your remark about "you seem to assume I claimed something else, like, cd doesn't exist on windows" is absurd at best and verges on bad faith that I'm not even going to engage with it.

You seem very upset, at least, I'm not used to people being this aggressive on HN, and I've been here for 15 years. I apologize for my contribution to that, if not my sole responsibility for it.

I remain fascinated by your process, I never have heard bad faith invoked when someone points at their actual words.

Generally, it is rare someone invokes "bad faith" when someone else's thoughts don't match their expectations.

I just...can't lie to you. I can't claim I thought it wouldn't work on Windows. I thought the opposite! That the sequence had 0% chance of working on not-Windows, and a 70% chance of working on Windows.

>> Are you 100% sure those commands will work? > Again, my claim isn't that the project works 100%, or even that it's not AI generated,

Oh! I'm referring to the commands, not the project :) The project can output "APRIL FOOLS!", as far as I care for this exercise.

> it's that your critique makes little sense either.

Oh, interesting - happy to hear more beyond that I must have meant pip/Python aren't available on Windows. If that's your sole issue, well, more power to you :) I do want to avoid lying to you just to avoid an aggressive conversation, you may not be even meaning to be aggressive. With the principle of "don't lie", I can't say I had something else in my head that matches your understanding so far, I presume something like "They are UNIX commands follows by Windows commands" [and thus this won't work on Windows]

> claiming "pip" and "python" are "UNIX commands"

Do you think I thought pip/Python wasn't on Windows? Sorry, no - in fact that's what I was using on Windows this week! (well, porting Python code to Dart) I just was 70% sure the commands as written would not work on Windows, and I suppose there's an implication I'm 100% sure they wouldn't work on not-Windows given the .bat file. Beyond that, nada.

>> separately, you misunderstand the quote re: glass houses

> No, I agree that you don't have to be 100% correct to accuse people of posting dumb stuff, but you shouldn't be posting dumb stuff either.

Intriguing, as always: "Did you write this with AI?" followed by a kind inquiry into the meaning of that, followed by "people in glass shouldn't throw stones" meant "you said something wrong when you said something else is wrong, but its cool, that's fine" - "shouldn't" seems to bely that interpretation, but I'm sure I have it wrong.

P.s. all the best, my friend. :)
