Well, the word refers to "continuous change", so I guess it's pretty appropriate.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think "flux" is none of the above too . There's an extremely cool alternative iterator library for C++20 by Tristan Brindle named flux.

  In general I think that's true and agree that minor name collision commentary is uninteresting, but in this case we're talking about 11 collisions (and counting) in tech alone, 3 of those in AI/ML and 1 of those specifically in image generation. When it's that bad I think that the frequency of collisions for this name is an interesting topic in its own right.

  I just posted a reply to another person quoting this guideline: > In general I think that's true and agree that minor name collision commentary is uninteresting, but in this case we're talking about 11 collisions (and counting) in tech alone, 3 of those in AI/ML and 1 of those specifically in image generation. > When it's that bad I think that the frequency of collisions for this name is an interesting topic in its own right. I'll respect your judgement on this and not push it further, but this is my thought process here.

    That makes sense and you're not wrong - it's just that there's a clear tradeoff in terms of more vs. less interesting conversation. Having that simple rule is a net win for HN.
