Can you confirm that continuing to use autocomplete in a code base against the policy of the project does make the person a jerk?
512.
by egorfine 8mo ago
It's pretty much obvious but the policy specifically argues against it and stands on moral grounds.
513.
by egorfine 8mo ago
Fully agree with you on all points. But again: how do we distinguish between manual code input and sophisticated autocomplete?
514.
by egorfine 8mo ago
Absolutely. But at the same time I cannot imagine reverting to code with no help of LLMs. Asking stackoverflow and waiting for hours to get my question closed down instead of asking LLM? No way.

Ah so you want things done the easy way? That's not fair. Everybody could have been running Linux and avoiding Microslop whatsoever.

That's not fair. Anybody could've done that. Now try to really sincerely use copilot prompt in the Run dialog.

There is no need for rust coreutils existence, thus one of the first things to do with a fresh ubuntu (like removing transparent peels on new devices) is to install the real coreutils, sudo and the rest.

Not really. If you take their rhetoric at face value ("Think of the children") then sure, it undermines everyone's data protection. I will go as far as to assume that no one on HN believes this is done for the children. It&#x

1) ID checks will not close the trade off. Real IDs are easily available on the market. Thus criminals will used them no problem. It's the law-abiding privacy-minded people (like me) who would be hurt the most. 2) Your point is valid.

by egorfine 8mo ago
You are missing the point. They don't care whether you are 14 or not. They want your biometrics and identification. "Think of the children" is just a pretense.

We have exactly that in Ukraine. And in Poland. And in many other countries. This does not conform to the requirements of american KYC/AML provisions that require KYC service to store and leak PII.
