Actually I outlined what I believed the issue is before you replied and it's not that.

The "issue" is the comparison is much more complex than people may be led to believe. It's not a simple "adjust the dollars to be the same" calculation. There are a lot of assumptions that go into making that calc

now tell us how they calculate those inflation adjusted dollars-- what basket of goods? prices in which markets?

There have been lots of complaints all over the place that contradict your experience. One article that talks about it: https://osxdaily.com/2025/09/19/why-im-holding-off-on-upgrad... For less discerning user

Why play all these semantic games? You're saying it's the author's problem. You want them to even edit their readme to include warnings for would be production/business users who don't want to pay for it.

In what way? I just disagree that americans "overestimate" their skill levels. I think the realistic answer is there's a range of "unskilled" to "skilled"

Fair point, it just wasn't immediately clear to me :)

That quote would mean that the system being unusable without RC4 is exactly the point. It doesn't mean that a system is what its makers intended for it to do.

Except that money laundering is allowable for some, but not all. Don't pretend the AML rules are enforced fairly and evenly.

Seeing as your LLMs need the novel output of human brains to even exist or expand capabilities, quite a lot. But even if it's not a lot, it's more than the number of LLMs that can invent new meaning which is a grand total of 0.

Personally, I give Claude a fully specified program as my prompt so that it gives me back a working program 100% of the time. Really simple workflow!

Why does your 6 year old Github account only have activity in the past 6 months mostly centered around LLM projects?
