Why not here? Because for starters, humanism isn't a religion (and I say that as a humanist). It's a philosophical stance within atheism. And atheism is the absence of religion** (it's literally right there in the name), not a religion. You can't claim "religious" exemptions as an atheist. What this person actually wants is a philosophical exemption, akin to, say, a vegetarian wanting an exemption from having to cook meat at a restaurant or whatnot.

** - Well, except for those atheists who worship Athe.

There is a statistically significant increase in deaths when the time change occurs. This proves that it is not simple for at least some people.

If you want to appeal to technology then go all the way! Propose using hours from sunrise at your location for daily activities, plus a universal time constant which applies even on other planets. You can calculate what the time is anywhere from your smartphone, right?

Come on guys, this is your moment! Come tell us how everything isn't a conspiracy, and the corporations aren't all out to get us!

This is how businesspeople behave all the time. Virtually all of them see us as a lesser species to be manipulated and milked for profit. Advertising is manipulation of your emotional state to cause you to make decisions you'll regret. The whole business world runs on gaslighting you, the only difference between this and that is degree. It's a war for your wallet, and your security and sanity are the casualties.

If you don't buy a racing car Porsche is middling at best without any luxury features other than a vroom vroom noise.

I see you have no idea what the top end of their catalogue looks like, but still want to flap your yap as if you had anything relevant to say.

I'm sad for you that you've not experienced luxury to the point where you can't even identify what it is.

I'm sad for you that you're suck a clown-assed cuck for the wealthy. You constantly bend over and spread for anyone in a position of authority because you're easily impressed by power. You're never going to understand the kind of harm you do by being an enabler for the worst people.

It looks good, it works well, and Claude produced an SBOM and a security audit.

Since Claude is not a human, Claude cannot sign off on a security audit.

If a human signed off on Claude's security audit without verifying it themselves, they deserve exactly what they're going to get.

We have traditional keys locks on the garage and back door. The front and side doors are UWB and they just unlock when I get close. If they stop working, I go get the hidden key and let myself in.

Or just open the garage door assuming power isnt out.

I have carried keys ... or misplaced them in at least 5 years and there are exactly 0 downsides unless you count walking around to the garage door to be life altering

no longer rely on the Sun to provide light and gauge the time of day. Rather, the entire country following the same single timezone to start working at the same time makes everything simpler and more efficient.

Only agrarian societies that mainly operates in isolation without access to street lights and accurate clocks need to adjust their daily work schedule according to the season of the year.

At my company, like many, we have a pretty varied range of people from fresh out of college to nearing retirement after decades in the field. I mostly see the older developers get enamored with AI. The younger ones do not seem nearly as interested in it. We even do have a few modders in the group, and I mostly see the middle aged ones thrilled to be producing AI slop and dumping it to the community.

Depends on how much you plan on using it. If you're like

"Write me a P2P sharing program like Limewire was back in the day!" - you're going to produce a lot of slop.

If you're using it to generate small functions though 15-20 lines at a time, or plugging in your own code and letting it help debug, then it can be very useful.

Its not any substitute for knowing how to code because it still makes a LOT of errors that need to be hand corrected, but its a great time saver for trivial tasks that are technically straightforward but would take longer to do by hand.

I used to stress to newer programmers that its perfectly normal to keep another browser open with the language specification/documentation for whatever you were writing in - its just a good reference. AI functions the same way.

This is the cycle of capitalism.

I think we've all seen that script about hard times creating strong men creating good times creating weak men. What the nitwits who think it's the ultimate aphorism don't understand is a) what either of those words mean or b) that this applies just as much to nepo babies like the CEOs they worship.
