It is the number 1 thing I cannot stand with Claude slop. It's a sort of anthropomorphization of language. Every "thing" does, produces, feels, wants, asks, answers, etc.... - "Launch is checked" - "Question is asked" - "The implementation answers" - "The model wants" - "The results name" - "The connection surfaces" - "The prompt wires" - "The feature rides the mechanism" Every single fucking thing is alive, wants th…

Create any page with a file uploader. They all look the same now. It's like the Twitter Bootstrap days of responsive design. You'll get an icon which looks like ones on (on the drop space) those sites which are like "you must wait 60 seconds for this file to download". It's so horrible. The human element has been completely removed and replaced by..... mediocre.

like for example, c*nt?

Maybe more like p**p, as in "that cunt p**ped in my yard"? I'll admit, it never once occurred to me that people might be using censored characters to provide more emphasis that a word is a swear, but I guess it does indeed do that, at least to the writer. Whether that comes across to the reader, and whether the writer cares that their intention was understood... I'm not so sure.

CUDA is neither an API, nor a language, it is an ecosystem.

That's a nice way of saying that it's a dependency clusterfuck. I've never understood why we can't just expose the GPU ISA directly the way the CPU does. It's all getting compiled down at the end of the day so someone has to write a compiler for it either way. We'd be substantially better off IMO if it was all built directly into LLVM and then let middleware sort out the details.

> I strongly dislike CUDA. Once you have allowed that proprietary cr*p Genuine question...why not just type "crap"? It's not even that much of a curse, but I've never really understood the point of self-censorship. If you don't want to curse then you could just use a non-curse word.

cause you might go to the eternal flames if you say a no-no word online
