"snatch with their spider leg like fingers that are dripping with digestive fluid"
This isn't about "might", this is about "obviously will", and the sheer fact that questions that were 101 of scientific discussion now lead to instant freaking out and accusations, i.e. stupid cultish bullshit, show me…

What is a "purpose"? Something people wish something would only be used for, right? How does it relate to, what influence does it have on what something will end up being used for?
> even if this was true, cost of code consumption and generation has fallen so much, that anyone in a developed country can point their favorite agent to the "unmaintained vibe coded stuff" and then maintain it to their…
When I say cancer sucks I'm not ignoring that other things also suck. So when people start trying to put those words into the words of others, they effectively act like cancer fanboys, which is weird and all about them,…
"The future has changed", oh my. The idea that "the future is changed now, so you can't change it again" is the language of abuse, not the language of wisdom. We'll just change it again by draconically punishing…
Please don't take this as a personal dig because it's not meant that way, but this has such berating a girl for not being into you energy. You want something from them, and they just want you to go away, basically. You…

Absence in the results of whatever we measured for. Just take the sheer hybris of "junk DNA": We don't understand this, so it's probably junk.

No, I think racism is mostly one of the ways in which little fish get played off against other little fish, and the best way to combat it is also the best way to combat a lot of other big issues, and that is holding the…
There is one human race, you can divide them in groups by whatever markers you want, doesn't make it a race. "Tall people" is no more a race than "white people" is. > I think this is what you have done: you want to…
That's like Germans moving to a poor country and being annoying to the waiter, then going "do you want my money or not?" When it comes to respecting someone -- which is what I'm talking about -- that just makes it…

As a German, don't respect Germans who move abroad and never learn the local language because they "don't have to", either. I cut a lot more slack for people who come here, but I can't help but notice this sense of…
I was alluding to Ford Prefect rather than your username. Anyway, if someone asks you to respect their rights, such as not recording them, telling them you value them too much to respect that is just... odd. It wouldn't…

I didn't say it doesn't happen, but I for one never experienced it, I saw zero churn and posturing or kool-aid. I guess plumbing got more professional the more widespread and crucial it became, while software is just…
Most programming is throwaway garbage, and if plumbing was treated remotely like that we'd be in deep shit, literally. I never had plumbers come in and complain about the previous guy. They either changed something, or…

Great, so let's just make everything a wobbly mess chained to middlemen, so we ca get that "gigantic, complex systems hitting edge cases because of small inconsistencies between builds" feeling for even "hello world".…
I simply mean same input, same output. A tool you can learn. A screwdriver or a jet airplane vs. having to ask someone else to fasten a screw or fly you somewhere. Sure, you also can't just fly a modern fighter jet "by…
