    Whether or not Meta wins this case, I'm never going to support any government that supports both LLMs and IP. Like we have to put up with IP despite having no clear value to a digi…

    Eh, not a fan of puts. It doesn't add any value over write or printf and it should be named "printLine". But if you're still using raw libc in 2025 that's a problem you willingly o…

    I don't the US government is representative of any kind of advisable behavior. Perhaps if they weren't doing stuff that makes people want to murder them we wouldn't have to light p…

    Are the apps usable? The jargon seems intentionally impenetrable. The editor of that document should be shot every time they used an acronym. Like i get the DOD is a profitable dic…

    I don't think diplomas have mattered for decades, at least in tech. Let's not pretend anything improved with the introduction of chatbots. Annyway, any advantage is entirely offset…

    Apprentices were supported, tho. We just chuck kids out in the cold with college debt and hope they survive with little reason to think they will.

    Why haven't people bludgeoned them into opening their software if its so useful? This is inevitable; in fact you could measure the long-term efficiency of an industry by how quickl…

    Ok, sure. In neither case was such a world a product of imagination.

    I can't read the tone of this post, but "AI" as it stands as a marketing term for the last ~45 years has little to do with rigor. These are workers producing profit, not scientists…

    > If all we were interested in was moving the weights around, you’d be right to use a tool to help you. Does the use of a quantifiable metric like a GPA not exacerbate this? In a w…

    Yea but the world they created wasn't one anyone wanted or asked for any more than our own reality caters to us; it is intended to portray life as it was in the nineties. To accept…

    Do you have the link to this alleged government-produced e2e software so we can inspect ourselves? I realize they have an incentive to appear incompetent, but surely there must be …

    Planning for and expecting are not the same thing. This is just a bad-faith interpretation.

    Well yea as soon as someone starts acting like humans communicate well, let alone the mind-reading behavior you're describing, I'm completely lost.

    Sorry, which points did you find contradictory?
