    There is no point discussing these minutia, ever. Just ban discussing them in PRs and then you don't need an opinionated bot rife with false positives to "fix" them.

    The boom in datacenter construction is driven mostly by the AI boom and most of us are sick everything AI too. We don't want to read AI slop, watch AI videos, talk AI customer serv…

    The vast majority of Americans prefer roads being dedicated to vehicles. I live in a town that is stealing drivable roadway for bike lanes. It's a total wast of tax dollars. There …

    No, they are doing everything they can to ensure that only the people who are legally allowed to vote are the ones voting.

    You are failing to make an argument for why stable sorting is objectively the correct choice. Just because something doesn't match your expectations doesn't make it wrong.

    I work in a FAANG. My sense is that most of my teammates are loving the AI. Personally, I hate the AI tools and the hype around them and what it has turned this job into. My own mo…

    We should not treat this as an acceptable strategy. If we do not have a viable mitigation for the risks of AI, then AI should be banned from public usage, just like nuclear weapons…

    Exactly. At the very least, we should be treating AI like nuclear weapons. It can exist but it should be locked away and never used.

    There are countless other stories about the AI's spouting complete bullshit. This easily wastes as much time as they save.

    Tiny suggestion: make the visualization for torch.zeros and torch.ones have the same y-axis limits so the difference is visually separated.

    At least you can read the switch statement. One of the worst features of c++ is all of the code that gets generated for you automatically.
