Good for you. I have a life, and will never hold myself to such a standard. It's a side project I decided to give away for free. People can wait as long as it takes.

You seem to be implying that no one has successfully farmed without pesticides.

It's almost like there is more involved in a successful migration to a less synthetic approach to agriculture than simply stopping using fertilizers and pesticides.

Considering we waste almost a full 1/4th globally [0], and almost 40% here in the USA [1], do we need to produce the same amount of food? 0: https://www.wri.org/research/reducing-food-loss-and-waste 1: https:&#x2

My take away from the article, as with most articles which utilize a question as a title, is "No". At least not as long as we continue to allow the agriculture industry to blanket a not-insignificant portion of the earth with glyp

I was joking. However, as an open source maintainer myself I have had many people actually be rude to me for not doing X fast or often enough. No one owes you anything. Even if they committed the sin of making a website for the project.

Maybe they’re moving. Maybe they’re on vacation. Maybe they’re getting married or divorced. Maybe a family member just died. You want weekly doc updates? It’s open source my friend, make a PR or shut the hell up. Thanks for making my point

They take products from multiple sources and literally dump them all into one bin, from which they sell. If they were an actually an intermediary only, they would not co-mingle items.

In my experience, many people can't even identify blatantly AI generated images as such on social media. Determining some text came from an LLM will probably be even harder for that crowd.

Well, anal_reactor, it can be about more than tech for techs sake. My side projects help actual people in the real world, so working on them feels like more than twiddling bits.

Please elaborate. While obviously a LLM might miss functional problems, it feels extremely well suited for catching “stupid mistakes”. I don’t think anyone is advocating for LLMs merging and approving PRs on their own, they can certainly pr
