The set of people who can’t find companionship or intimacy is not nearly as large as the black pill community would lead one to believe. Certainly it’s smaller than the target market for these sorts of services.

I rarely posted questions on SO but I largely stopped using it as a resource because of exactly this. I got tired of searching for answers only to find closed-as-dupe questions. I feel like in their search for “quality” they completely forg

It was not always part of the platform. Moderation got increasingly aggressive on SO as time went on. There was an inflection point around 2014 where lots of people gave up on using the site. SO was in slow decline for most of a decade befo

I’m not blaming incels. I’m blaming the people building companies with the express goal of extracting money from them. There is no moral imperative to allow predatory behavior. We can recognize the difficulty many experience with romantic r

I don’t know anything about your work so I can’t speak to that. What I do know is that intentionally pushing my use of AI (to the point that at times it was clearly a detriment) taught me a lot about how I can use it effectively, how I can

I am increasingly convinced that the AI skeptics that remain in the software industry have put very little time into experimenting with AI coding. It’s like listening to someone confidently assert that a plane could never travel faster than

My "interpretation of it" is explicitly in the document. " Therefore, the NTSB recommends that the FAA require Boeing to determine the critical fan blade impact location(s) on the CFM56-7B engine fan case and redesign the fan

I don’t actually see that but I’m also not going to read all 193 pages. That’s not the point regardless. The post I replied to made the claim that Boeing has no responsibility here. The NTSB clearly disagrees.

My ultimate point is that source code specifies everything the software can or will do, but most of that is not part of the required specification. Most of it is implementation details you don’t care about. The entire reason we have funct

Leaking credentials is observable behavior. Certainly you could write specification for a piece of software, and the software could meet the specification while also leaking credentials. Obviously, that would be a problem. But at some point
