I appreciate it.

Yeah, I’m on the default but i'll explore the other ones now, see if there is anything i prefer.

You’re making quite a lot of frankly weird assumptions.

I've clearly stated what i'm referring to and how i got there, if you think there is an unsupported statement then reference it directly and i will respond.

That being said, fuck, i think i've seen two posts next to each other and missed where it changed from them to you.

That's entirely my bad and i apologise, my response was supposed to be for the other person.

Perhaps summed up as , "no true leftist" ?

"You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves in to."

Though it is occasionally possible to point out how their arguments don't stand up to scrutiny and get them to engage on it.

Only works with the ones not doing it on purpose, however.

key words there are discourse and discussion.

As is explained in a few responses to your paradox of tolerance reply (that you seem to have conveniently not replied to so far), the kind of discussion or conversation they are referencing requires both parties to be working in good faith.

from your own reference

as long as we can counter them by rational argument

If one party can't or won't provide logic or reasoning to their side of an exchange, that's not a discussion because there is nothing to discuss with someone not willing to engage in good faith.

There are absolutely places that are ideological echo chambers, despite claiming otherwise, but banning someone for the inability (or unwillingness) to engage in good faith isn't a removal based on ideology it's a removal based on not adhering to the basic tenets of how discussions are supposed to work.

If it just so happens that most of that kind of banning happens to people with ideologies you subscribe to, perhaps it's worth considering how you can help these people understand how to have an actual conversation.

That all being said, from what i've seen here I’d guess you're on the purposeful bad faith side of things so I’m not expecting any reasonable consideration, but feel free to surprise me (or block me, i suppose).

The DSM doesn't include that specific diagnosis any more right, it's all the ASPD and DPD spectrum now ?

They removed it because of the absolute shitshow that was trying to reliably diagnose psychopathy as it was originally described.(and possibly the negative connotations associated with the word itself)

So now they have a series of metrics to measure things they can somewhat reliably measure over time.

Like how the medical diagnosis of idiot doesn't exist anymore, but there are more accurate and nuanced terms and diagnosis for intellectual disabilities in various forms.

I could be wrong however, my understanding of this area of research is middling at best.

They even had an ending in the movie that was closer to the original , but they cut it/changed it because it didn’t test well.

I'd guess that was because it was an ending that followed the original storyline and didn't make sense without the rest of the movie also following the original storyline.

That's the goal, once you can't outright afford the hardware what do you think happens?

Subscriptions of course, much like the phone "contracts" of today, now you can rent a PC, or better yet subscribe to a cloud instance of a PC.

You'd still need to subscribe to the LLM of course, but that'd be easier if it was bundled with your cloud computer subscription.

Then comes the software bundles, because they can't just have you installing whatever you want on their cloud machines, that's leaving money on the table.

Eventually with the next generation, or the one after that it will become normalised, just another thing you can't own because fuck you, that's why.

FML: i scroll down maybe 10 posts and this : https://programming.dev/post/46457240

Yes, but with LLM's they can be incompetent faster and with more efficiency.

Volume and what i think of as uncanny valley code.

Where you, as a maintainer, previously had 10 PR's to get through you now have 100+.

Where you, as a maintainer, previously had a range of quality of submissions, you now have a significant proportion of submissions that look reasonable, but only upon further inspection aren't doing what is described.

Those two things are multiplicative and add an immense amount of effort on the maintainers side.

and just in case you are thinking "but automation", it mostly doesn’t fix these issue to any appreciable degree.

That's before you even get into what kind of % of the LLM PR's are useful ( a different discussion )

significant white space to it's classist and racist

Significant white-space is bullshit and i will die on this hill.
