How about the irrecoverable loss of data in RAM, though?
GPU driver engineering has received a tiny fraction of the resources of CPU engineering, while being significantly more complex. And GPU users will not pay for performance hits that better the architecture, they will just buy the other guy's GPU/use their driver. So it's a race to the top with performance and race to the bottom with architecture and stability.
It is pretty egregious though, I hope they fix this. I expect there'll be a Radar tracking this now that it's made it to the HN front page.
It's always funny to me when you put computers into such states. Last time I was tickled this was was when I nuked the TCC database permissions for Zoom while in a meeting, sharing my screen, using my microphone and camera. The OS rrrrreally didn't like that.
From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:
"Don't be snarky."
"Edit out swipes."
It did do it to all tabs though.
"It's just" dismissals are annoying when they're blatantly wrong. An infinite-loop counter in Orion.app shouldn't cause my entire machine to freeze, down to being unable to force quit.
Plus provide a corrective upvote from time to time especially when a knee-jerk robot is suspected, or a maybe it's an actual person where you can't tell the difference.
Sometimes it gets so bad that people hate it when you try to keep a decent article from plummeting under the depths of a sea of slop.
I think it's well-recognized that robots are more prevalent than ever and it doesn't seem to be making things better at this point.
