Which is a shame considering the Linux distro has never ever once ever ever ever contained a bug

You’re right. Nothing has been stolen and then treated as public property in our society. I am fool, and you are a god.

Anyways

AS I said to the other dude, I’m not going to keep coming up with examples because you’ll just keep moving the goal posts. There are tons of examples of something of value, natural or man made, being stolen and later treated as a common good.

Just do some research.

So I assume you agree that if someone murdered you, you would prefer they go free and live a happy life.

After all what would they be punished for. There is no victim.

Yes that’s one of the mechanisms to steal the land

Furthermore - I suspect he doesn’t even care if you understand it. He cares if it works reliably. If you accomplish the task of solving hard problems by taking shrooms and dancing naked on your keyboard, I don’t see why he would care.

Conquered is a funny way of saying stolen.

Coerced purchasing, or purchasing from someone else who stole, or purchasing under intentionally false understanding, is still stealing.

This is just one example. I’m not going to keeping punting just for you to move the goal posts.

Morality of using resources that someone else stole is ‘muddy’ to say the least but the majority of modern society would not function if we didn’t look the other way.

For example, I hope you’re not living anywhere in NA or most of Africa or many areas in Europe or some areas in Asia. Because if you are, you’re probably standing on stolen resources.

It’s not ‘based’ to be pro-AI.

This is the standard position for anyone that got mega-rich on tech and still has high tech market exposure, such as Linus.

This is the thing I’m trying to advocate people to understand. It’s not that they were wrong about AI a year ago - AI has changed in radical ways people couldn’t confidently predict within just a year.

The AI coding agents a year ago DID create slop that would dillute your code base. The AI coding agents today generally don’t.

It’s becoming increasingly less valuable to combat your LLM and scrutinize it’s output. You can provide more market value by assuming it’s 95% correct, doing some manual verification, and architecting it in a way that leads to low integration complexity. The OOP principles are still relevant - abstract, encapsulate, etc.

I swear I’m not an AI bro despite the above comment being somewhat pro-AI. I’m just trying to be pragmatic about the state of our field.

As a meme, this is a good article.

As a genuine discussion on the definition of Robot, this is stupid af.

FWIW - literally all things are social constructs if your definition of social construct is “a category of things that includes/excludes things based on our perception & interaction with it”

My claude ignores half the stuff I define in it’s claud.md once it goes over ~200 lines, and I need it to know more important things like “don’t try to locally verify with chromium” so it doesn’t spend 20 minutes + $10 in tokens rediscovering I have removed it’s permissions to accomplish that.

Say you’re alive

I am alive

omg

Versions of that meme will always amuse me

“If you can replace a semicolon or hyphen with a comma/period, you probably should”. Writing advice I received at age ~10 and it never stopped being relevant in literature contexts

CRAM is an utterly goated name

Great edit. I love this.

It’s a 20/80 rule thing.

Coming up with a proof is the first 20% of work. Actually checking and validating the proof is the next 80% of work.

Self checkout in theory is better for both sides - business and consumer.

That said most self checkout as implemented is insufferable. The modern experience is waiting 5 minutes for someone to clear out your order because you accidentally clicked the version of Limes that this store doesn’t sell, despite it being an option on the POS, or to tap no / decline on the 5 different “Donate? Round up? Bag? Survey? Phone number?” prompts, or for the POS to lock up because you scanned a single can 3 times rather than 3 cans once, or for the cart to lock up so you slam your shin into it because the camera determined you were a thief.

Personally I avoid all self checkouts.

Some have, most haven’t. And those that have had mostly adopted the philosophy of “Every token spent is a a token spent well; except the ~10% of staff that abuse/misuse them”.

And with that philosophy, you naturally want to set the per-person budget at around the 90th highest spender. Which is what most did (some version of it).

So very few companies have actually set a truly restrictive policy. Just a “don’t abuse this” policy. But that will change IMO.
