Other people are dumping on you, but I think you're getting at where the real 20x speedup exists. People who are 'senior' in one type of programming may be 'junior' in other areas -- LLMs can and do bridge those gap

Global human populations are in decline; fossil fuel use will decline along with us. If humans no longer use as much carbon (because they no longer exist in large numbers), doesn’t that alone adequately address the climate change concerns?

"Maybe you should [get some education], because [my anecdotes]" is rude and not particularly convincing.

If your point is that corporate lawyers tend to see monsters behind every blade of grass, I agree. This is what they are paid to do. If I am a cavalier, it is to calm this community, to point out that they are over-indexed on this language

You say, paraphrasing, "It's harder to prove that a DEI program violates Federal anti-discrimination laws than it is to simply terminate a grant to an undesirable grantee." Ok. Suppose that's true. The government can ter

> I read it as an agreement to an interpretation that doing those things would violate the law. The Executive branch can make any claim it wants, but the Judiciary branch has the authority to decide what a reviewable claim means.

The requirement that grantees not violate existing laws is common in Federal grants. Taking umbrage with the DEI coloration on this entirely reasonable and standard requirement is absurd. There could be a long laundry list of such clauses

Could you clarify that you're suggesting that "it's un-American" for the government to require that the grantee not violate any of its anti-discrimination laws?

> There's a concerning lack of attention to detail here. I choose to believe that it's a brilliant feint. The author will run all these comments back into their LLM to generate fixes for all of these issues.

Honestly, what I see is that one side murders the other side when they talk about being opposed to the changes being forced upon them. Complaints about "the whataboutism" is a strawman, to distract and deflect.

Aren't the left the ones making the claim posed by your opening sentence these days? Could you clarify whether it's seditious only when one side is making that claim or is the seditiousness of the claim group-independent?

I'll bite. Do they get to decide what "fascism" means and change it to mean whatever they want on a whim? It might be simpler to just say that they can make whomever they don't like today illegal and don't allow the

It's good to see that the report identified raiding, and raid leaders in particular, as the principle origin and context of abuse. Raid leaders are symptomatic of broken game design.
