    Or no one is to blame, if the mechanism of the regression is complex and non-obvious based just on the patch itself.

    Regressions are bad and they should be avoided. Still, software engineering is a complex thing and regressions happened long time before coding agents were a thing. Unless one can …

    I believe your point is not that it has never failed for anyone in the last few years after upgrade? Then, if the claim is that breakage is considerably worse than it used to be be…

    These are not possible, as x can be 7 only if y is 7, and likewise for 8. Semantics isn't based on sets, but on non-deterministic assignments to variables: y is either 7 or 8 and x…

    It's a social construct in the the same sense anything not directly verifiable using senses is. Is there an Eiffel tower in Paris? Most people haven't seen it, so they can only acc…

    I like the idea - does it support .gitignore though? I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation and GitHub issues seem to be confusing in that regards. If it doesn't, it m…

    Only if by "work involved" you mean burning lots of electricity with expensive GPUs/ASICs.

    I fully agree, thousandfold price increases would suggest that processes that control prices in free market system had become unstable. In such cases I'd agree with state intervent…

    When the price explodes, bakers may hire more people and bake bread during night and day, increasing the supply.
