We will quickly evolve a social contract that AI are not allowed to directly contact humans and waste their time with input that was not reviewed by other humans, and any transgression should by swiftly penalized. It's essentially spam, automatically generated content that is profitable in large volume because it offsets the real cost to the victims, by wasting their limited attention span. If you wantme to read your…

See Ghostty's social contract about AI use: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/main/HACKING.md#...

Suppose that Ghostty bans an account from contributing if it fails this test.

That still gives the next slopper a chance to waste the same amount of time. People used to call this the "one bite of your apple" attack -- it's only fair to give everyone a chance to prove that they aren't malicious, but if you do that in an environment where there are more attackers than you have resources, you still lose.

I’m guessing this list is defined by Mac users who all got taught em dash somewhere similar or for similar reasons. It is only easy to use on a Mac. But I wonder what is the 2nd common influence of users using it?

Android — keyboard – good for endash to !

My favourite android keyboard has a compose key and also a lot of good defaults in long touch on keys (including en and em under dash). Only downside is last android update causes the keyboard to be overlapped in landscape mode. A problem with a number of alternative keyboards out there. https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/issues/957

Crazy how he doubled down by just pasting badger's answer into Chat and submitting the (hilariously obvious AI) reply: > Thanks for the quick review. You’re right — my attached PoC does not exercise libcurl and therefore does not demonstrate a cURL bug. I retract the cookie overflow claim and apologize for the noise. Please close this report as invalid. If helpful, I can follow up separately with a minimal C reproduc…

Unfortunately that seems to be the norm now – people literally reduce themselves to a copy-paste mechanism.

I’d love to know what your genuine motivation is. Is it a desire to genuinely improve projects? Because I’ve always had the impression that people who do this just want to boost their PR counts and GitHub activity numbers.

There's been a couple of projects with typos, that I wanted to fix but didn't for exactly the reason above! Didn't want to be seen as just padding my github.

I opened a 1 letter typo fix for NextJS not that long ago and had the same thought run through my mind beforehand. I (obviously) decided to just do it anyway and let people think what they want, who cares.

I know my intention was simply fixing a typo I stumbled on while reading the docs..and the effort level is so low to open a PR to fix it

Prove to me that it's not perfectly random.

It is perfectly random for some distributions

And it's big-O of zero time. The solution is already there.
