May take a little while because I got some deadlines coming up soon, but I’ll make sure to reply here whenever it is ready. It’ll also be a good way for me to improve my English 😆.

I reread the thread, my apologizes, you are right on that, I just forgot my first comment 😅.

The “alien being a person” argument is more an ironic one, you can ignore that. Any intelligent being, alien or not, is a person.

On the other hand, I could give you a corpus of 10 texts, part of them written by hand by your truly, only using a non-ai writing help to avoid obvious gramatical mistakes (English is not my native language), imitating corpo speech, and the anothers generated by my local AI (Mistral:7B). Would you accept to try ?

To be arguing in bad faith would require me to have made an argument, which I did not.
Other than pointing out the lack of proof of your (badly) hidden argument, I never pretended it to be either LLM speech or human corpo speech. Because there are no proof of either being objectively more likely than the other.

But you did, using a loaded question, which is written in such way to deny the possibility for it to be human corpo speech, which existed way earlier than LLMs.

You asked why you were getting downvoted, I anwered with the definition of why. With a link to the definition for you to read so you may improve your “question”.

Depending on the definition of “a person”, an alien could be one. What would be your definition of a person ?

I was just pointing out your earlier answer is a loaded question, by definition.

AI learned from the best worst of us.

Do you actually think it’s okay that they had a bot make a press release this hamfisted?

You are not “saying it sounds like it is written by AI”, you are affirming it is written by an AI. Big difference.
You affirmation being formated as a question doesn’t change anything, it is a Loaded Question, which tends to be frowned upon.

Bold claim, corroborated with no proof.

Sure it looks like AI speech patterns, but they are trained on corporate speech, so hard to differentiate an LLM from a corporate spokesperson.

There is a local relay that allows to basically use ProtonMail with whatever client you want to. It’s a bit more work, for sure, but it allows to use their encryption without having to install any addon on your client.

ProtonMail, maybe Tuta Mail.

Disposable vapes are already forbidden, at least in France, idk if it is union wide.

But yeah, those things make no sense. The only thing with a battery that should be disposable would be fire alarm. Not because of the battery, but because the main sensor has a 10 years lifespan due to its natural deterioration.

Ads and influencers pushing them.

Good ol’ cache.

As a personal example of Samsung reliability, my 11 years old samsung SSD is still kicking, despite being used as a cache for my Truenas homelab for half of it. This thing will outlive me 😆

What do you dislike about the new one?

Only if you don’t check when you update your deps.

Personally, I wouldn’t call it “viral” if it does not propagate to other files. It may create a confusion.
On the other hand, I don’t think there is an agreed upon terminology to describe it, so if my explanation help someone better understand the concept, I’m all good.

I think you misunderstood what “viral” mean in that context.

If a file, under GPL, is added to a project, the whole project becomes dual licensed under the original licence plus GPL, which propagate to the whole project, like a virus. I know comparing it to something like a virus sound derogative, but this is the best way to describe its effect.

If a file, under MPL, is added to a project, the project do not become MPL, only the added part is. Said project cannot change the MPL licensed part to another licence, but still can build anything it wish using it.

Globally, a GPL licensed project protects the user more, but also prevent the devs from doing a lot of thing, which MPL does not.

In the end, this is the devs freedom to chose which licence they wish to publish their code under, not ours.

Probably, but I won’t touch that shit unless I have no way doing otherwise.

Edit : As an example, I got an “add or update” stored procedure that start line 5, and ends line… 226.

Yeah, you can do pagination, but you need two request : one to select everything, the second to only return the results between id x and id y. Needless to say, the performances are far from ideal.

But in recent version you do skip and take x, which is far easier to write. But my codebase date back to the 2000’s, and it uses the old ways.

As an example, an SQL request to filter on an handful of parameters, and paginate, easily amount to 40-50 lines of SQL. And that’s the easy ones, because some request uses multiple view, in which case I wouldn’t be surprised to find a request doing more than 100 lines of SQL, maybe without even factoring the view in.
