It is your meaning and purpose if you’re minimizing a fatal risk,

And I’m not. I’m saying the data you provided to back up that assertion is wrong and/or bad.

Do you really think you’re smarter than the scientific community’s consensus for 30 yeas?

No - I’m saying the data you’ve provided to back up that assertion is wrong and/or bad.

Hell, would you eat a burger with this crap in it?

I’m not saying anything like that. I’m saying the data you’ve provided to back up that assertion is wrong and/or bad.

Take some goddamn responsibility for your words or STFU.

Same to you.

If a fatal side effect can occur from topical use, do you really think it’s safe to eat?

Again - topical use is not ingestion. And this is a case where dose matters as well. The amount you would ingest from meat that has been cooked is going to be very different from the amount you would be applying topically as a medicine.

My question to you is why would you try to minimize the risk? Do you want people to get sick and die?

That’s you’re reading - not my meaning. You don’t get a pass on “factually correct” just because your inaccuracy supports a conclusion you like.

Those side effects are all for intravenous administration, not ingestion.

And before you handwave it away remember that the difference between “life giving beverage” and “drowning” is in how water is administered.

I think they’re working less than the 80 hour minimum?

I’m not asking them to donate their time.

There’s a difference between offering your own labor for free and asking others to donate their time for “exposure”.

No? But I’m not the one offering “exposure” for art.

That’s a very long way to spell “yes”.

You’re asking artists to work for “exposure?”

I’m sorry but you can’t be in the military and be “apolitical”. Your job is to use force, support the ability to use force, or project force to achieve political ends.

That’s not what being ‘apolitical’ means. It means that you don’t question your orders or refuse to follow them based on whether you agree with them or not. That you don’t push back in public over decisions being made. You are there to carry out the orders of a politician regardless of whether you agree with those orders or not.

does it still work for software development?

… Why wouldn’t it? Like you could do other things but not write code?

Both extremes are absolutely maddening here. I’m getting as sick of the anti-AI crowd as I am the vibe-code-tech-bros. At this point you could just put them all in a sack and start hitting them with sticks and wouldn’t care who got the worst of it.

There’s a definite middle-ground here. Linus is one of the ultimate pragmatists and it shows here. It was helpful - so he used it. It helped you so you used it. I’ve found it to be incredibly helpful so I use it.

Not all usages are equal just as all hand-written code is not equal. There are good ways to use these tools and bad ways. But the tools themselves are still just tools.

It’s a bit more interesting than that…

Linux, unlike Windows, will let you delete a file that is actively in use. It removes the reference on the file system but the contents of the file won’t be deleted until all file pointers to it close. In fact it will still be seen as taking up disk space until it’s garbage collected (deleting a large file that’s in use can be frustrating).

So the file is actually still available to that running process. If you replace it with a new executable and run that then you get the new version.

Huh. I mostly read people moralizing the use of AI and wanting to slap a scarlet AI on anyone who uses it while derisively using the terms “slop” and “vibe” to poison the well.

Shhhh, Iran is the victim now.
