> Rust's development process is also design by committee, interestingly enough. Sure, but it's still quite informal and they just add things as they go instead of writing a complete standard and figuring out how everything inte

by LiamPowell 7mo ago
I didn't say this applies to every committee, but I do think the opposite applies to almost every "try it and see" language. Examples of cohesive languages designed by committees would be Ada and Haskell.

by LiamPowell 7mo ago
This inevitably happens when the approach to language design is "try it and see". I know people here hate design-by-committee, but historically it's led to some very cohesive languages.

True, but in that case the fuse only needs to be as easy to replace as whatever else you're replacing. If there's internal socketed components then the fuse only needs to be internal and socketed. If everything is soldered to a bo

There's simply never a reason for a user to replace a fuse in a properly designed device. If a fuse blows then it means something has gone horribly wrong and replacing the fuse won't fix it. The exception would be a device that se

Another downvoted comment asks if this is all LLM output. While I don't think all of it is, chunks of it have LLM smells so I wanted to point those out as the author or other readers may find it useful: The ASCII flowcharts all contain

Worst case you just run your userscript before any policies are created, but in most cases it's not going to impact userscripts.

I would absolutely love to hear your reasoning that leads to type systems being considered a "restriction of end-user computing freedoms". For those that don't know what trusted types are: Simply put, it splits the string typ

If we could reset a human to a prior state after a conversation then would conversations with them not still be "human like"? I'm not arguing that LLMs are human here, just that your reasoning doesn't make sense.

I don't necessarily think we'll ever reach that point and I'm pretty sure we'll never reach that point for some higher risk applications due to natural language being ambiguous. There are however some applications where

I'm not arguing that LLMs are at a point today where we can blindly trust their outputs in most applications, I just don't think that 100% correct output is necessarily a requirement for that. What it needs to be is correct often
