This is also how I have seen this particular thought terminating cliche used. The problem with the framing is that on the one side you have someone complaining about unrestrained s…

I agree completely, the features the parent is mentioning like "identity mapping, unit of work, and change tracking/events" are exactly the things I don't want out of the ORM becau…

That's not the framing: > The private interest is genuine, [...] rational for the individual Nigerian saver You expand upon that rationale. It is individually rational precisely be…

If I understand the point being made here then the idea is that a stateless session via a cryptographically verified bearer token needs a stateful revocation list to eliminate hija…

We fear that these drugs have developmental impacts but beyond that we also forbid them in restaurants and indoor environments quite generally even for adults. So adult usage is to…

Network effects from the other side: If one parent forbids their child then their child becomes a pariah. If no child is able to access social media then they will all interact wit…

Have you met someone who claimed that their dog liked being slapped? When I imagine such a situation I imagine a person who is just excusing abuse because of the priors in my life,…

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc? > But the article doesn't consider whether restricting children's wanderings is the REASON it is so much safer for children now. The article considers e…

We definitely apply our ethics and premise it based upon communication. Given a stranger, all I can do is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and make assumptions…

> In logic, equivocation ("calling two different things by the same name") is an informal fallacy resulting from [...] knowingly and deliberately using words in a different sense t…

Certainly you pay a price for lifetimes but you buy compile time race condition detection via the borrow checker's aliasing-xor-mutability enforcement. So all that is happening is …

We have absolutely no way of reconciling ethics with animals. In human society, the same individuals will often be using force against others but those individuals may be the polic…

Rarely do people get the right takeaway from this effect. Take a normal bottle of red wine and some top tier, swap them around so the ordinary is in the expensive bottle and vice v…

> When you use an LLM agent correctly you are adding value beyond just the prompt, and those three additional paragraphs won't just be extra noise. So send me the prompt and the th…

As these products improve, one person sending the output and not the prompt will remain useless. The prompt captures the intent and level of real consideration of the person sendin…

The unfortunate reality of the internet is that anonymity is abused by troll farms and genuine human interaction is corrupted by their astroturfing and political propaganda. Anonym…

All available evidence points to it being an incremental improvement at best. Higher claims are attributable to the psychological effect of the AI sycophancy problem which erases t…

I think that callbacks are actually easier to reason about: When it comes time to test your concurrent processing, to ensure you handle race conditions properly, that is much easie…

I don't have the bias towards green that the "test" suggests for the very reason I pointed out. I and others understand the perspective of the test but you don't seem to understand…

The attempted point being to measure and compare how people classify colors between blue and green when given a false dichotomy between the two. But it cannot do that without bias,…

A recipe isn't copyrightable but is still protected under trade secret law. I imagine that the same would apply. I think the major difference with software copyright is that I can …

> Let f ... be Riemann integrable and F ... differentiable. What many people don't notice the first time they read this in the fundamental theorem of Calculus is that this is a dou…

I think what you actually want is audit sharing as the cooldown period. No audit shared with the community yet? The package is still in cooldown. Or you can risk it and run unaudit…

The California law is the closest thing to what we do in the physical world but better. We already decided as a society to limit the purchase of pornography, gambling, alcohol, tob…

An account level flag in a user account on an operating system is the opposite of verified identification. It is self assertion by the owner of the computer: the parent. If such a …
