  > I said nobody will use the driver. But I am terrible wrong because one person will? Yes? The person who needs it is using it. Other people who need it (anyone who wants to archive tapes of that kind) now can, too. > Second, another post on hackernews about how AI helps you code is not AI hype? Do you think it was written with the intent to specifically hype AI, rather than to report on a passion project?

      Why do you call what the author did shit? It is resurrecting an old tape driver for archival purposes. It may not have much commercial use, but anyone having those old tapes will appreciate it.

        I think you should read to learn, instead.

      If you are eating the baked shit and enjoying it, and a subset of shit-eaters might also like your baked shit recipe, then yes - it would be wrong to say "nobody will eat that shit". I suspect HN readers won't see enough value in your baked shit recipe for it to reach the front page - sorry. But bake away!

  > I said nobody will use the driver. But I am terrible wrong because one person will? Yes, you are wrong. And also, if you look around in these HN comments, there's at least one person here who says they have a bunch of these tapes lying around and would love to try the driver themselves. So that's two people! > Second, any post on hackernews is made to generate hype. Blanket generalizations like that aren't useful. You don't and can't know any random person's motivation for posting something here. I don't even really understand why you're commenting. The things you are saying are either just rude or unnecessary. Honestly, if you are that cynical about things posted on this site, why even bother visiting it at all?
