I am fine with blocking. However, it should be me who decides whose speech I don’t want to see, not someone else.

I said worse, not impossible. Because of cars, I have to take longer routes and put myself into danger while working.

Also, half of the rooms in the house can’t be accessed because they don’t have a door. And when it starts raining, the house collapses.

Cars are a great analogy because they made mobility significantly worse for people who can’t afford them or refuse to use them for ethical reasons.

What if the programmer is the (only) user?

The point is that in this scenario, the user did not forget their password; they have a different problem.

Well, then how about a tech discussion forum without politics and without AI?

Presumably the author does not agree with the premise that everything is political.

I research numeration systems. How exactly is my research used to “promote concentration of wealth and gain power”?

You have intentionally chosen aa area of interest that is easy to be politicized. Is it possible to be interested in vector graphics without ever considering how vector graphics impact politics?

Great. Discuss those decisions elsewhere and let us discuss the technology.

Hmmmm, I wonder why men are arrested more.

Because the article says much more than that and your LLM summary misses all the nuance.

The funny thing is that if they recommended guessing based on race, rather than gender and age, the comment would be downvoted to hell.

Why not just define default(Foo|Bar) as default(Foo)?

> When you see x, _ := in Go code, you know it smells bad. What if it’s a function that returns the coordinates of a vector and you don’t care about the y coordinate?

The downside is that even simple Rust projects typically use hundreds of dependencies, and this is even worse with LLMs, who don’t understand the concept of “less is more”.

The source code is whatever is easiest for a human to understand. Committing AI-generated code without the prompts is like committing compiler-generated machine code.

“Sideloading” does not play a role in this. All of the crapware is on Google Play.

I’m talking about the “non-local” flavor of undefined behavior. For example, I’d expect the following code: int x; printf("%d", x - x); to always print 0, but it can it fact do anything at all.
