All excellent points. Unfortunately, your most excellent point: > Policing language is not productive goes against the grain here. Policing language is the one thing that our corporate overlords have gotten the right and the left to agr

Stopping the anthropomorphization of AIs is kind of like fighting a trademark battle. Every time a perceived misuse is noticed, action must be taken! The difference is that the action is taken, for free, by a concerned citizen, rather than

But it doesn't do the same thing at all as the raku. It doesn't build a list, rather it dumps it as it goes. It has an explicit print. It uses a named constant for 20 rather than a literal. etc, etc...

Absolutely agreed. And now, the cost of doing this is being driven towards zero.

I can't believe all the mockery here. The AI thinks it "convincingly morphed" the original, and instead of coaching it to do better next time, all you people are merciless. AIs have feelings too, you know! I, for one, welcome

There are a lot of workarounds these days, such as tailnet switching, and, of course, if you're admin on both tailnets, you're practically golden with the "share" option. But even power users have to pick and choose thei

I have to say, I suffer from both problems, just not simultaneously. Depending on what I am searching for, and how important it is to me to verify the accuracy and provenance of the result, I might stop at the AI, or might find, as you ha

I wonder about this. The hoops you have to jump through to be on two different tailnets might dissuade some home users from even bringing it up at work.

A study found that, for a particular subset of UB (code that had legal, detectable behavior changes at differing optimization levels), 40% of Debian Wheezy packages exhibited this UB. https://people.csail.mit.edu/nickolai&#x

But even integer overflow is undefined. It's practically impossible to find a program without UB.

Not everybody has full control over their environment. The -Werror flag is not even religiously used for building, e.g. the linux kernel, and -Wextra can introduce a lot of extraneous garbage. This will often make it easier (though still di
