They messed up and accidentally used correct units (KWh) once in TFS.

Also, handling bug reports / patch review is far less token-intensive than coding as well. It's really hard to compete with coding when it comes to token consumption.

When a user uses an app on their phone they expect the image and video data to not leave their phone unless they actually select it for use. Otherwise, for the user, what else is the point of having an app?

Of course, the corollary (if they knew how anything worked) is that if the app doesn't do that, then clearly they could be using a website on their phone (just like they did on the laptop they used in school) instead of needing an app, so what's the app for? Its only purpose is to be on your phone where it can get more data than it can if it's only a website — and it only has access to your sensors while you're browsing the site, it only gets whatever files you pick in the browser... you hope

Insurance is a primary reason why people put their money in banks.

It feels gross to say that USD is more meaningful than BTC because it's backed by the US Government, but BTC is backed up by hopes and dreams (of apes.)

If the point is nostalgia, maybe they do want all of those things.

I bet Sony will sell their retro headphones that were slashvertised here the other day, not despite but because of their use of retro drivers.

Mini-NES sells because of carpal controllers. (TBF they were/are pretty good for precision.)

I personally want what you say they want, because I was too young to catch the original release of the original film. In fact, I only saw RotJ that way. As such I do in fact want the unreinvented version, which I've previously seen on LD. But these days you can get that from the seas.

What do you mean by use? For code generation, or code analysis? Or do you mean for other maintenance tasks? All three?

Using AI for code generation is problematic for many reasons, some of which are a fundamental threat. Using it for the other things is problematic for fewer reasons, but more defensible.

Clicking the coward box doesn't hide your identity when you write all of your posts the same way.

Unless there is a big increase in funding across the board, how do you expect "most OSS projects" will pay for the bottomless bucket of tokens necessary to have "AI" handle project management, bug reports, patch review, etc etc?

Deepseek 4.1 Flash, GLM 5.3 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Flash, Muse Ember, Claude 5.5 Haiku, GPT 5.6 Luna, MiMo V2.6 Flash (or even MiMo V2.6 Pro), etc.

You don't need to use, say, Fable or Astra to handle bug reports :P

... but if you don't incorporate AI into your project manage system, you're going to get swamped by it all. AI needs to also handle the first-tier of bug reports, patch submissions, and feature requests - reviewing them, evaluating them within the project goals, filtering out or improving submissions with issues, seeking and taking into account user feedback on controversial issues, etc. The limited human hours that most OSS projects have need to be insulated from the deluge, leaving them to focus on the high-level decisions, with content that they receive to consider being pre-reviewed and pre-considered for suitability to the project.

Otherwise, I don't see how most OSS projects can deal with this in the age of AI. Unless there's going to be some big increase in funding from somewhere?

Most modern vehicles could take substantial damage from a good-sized rabbit. The plastic bumper covers are fragile and in some cases there's not much preventing it from coming through the lower vent area and damaging your radiator. So in general you should be braking for a rabbit on the highway, though maybe you have a pickup with a winch bumper or something?

Correct. He wants other people not to have the same medical care he had. And you don't want them to have it either. Both of you are fully transparent.

What you were doing was making a statement you didn't need to make, because it's being made left and right by people who want people to be denied care which is medically necessary. In doing so, you made it look like you stand with those people, whether that was your intent or not.

No, they don't. They destroy functional societies, including destroying the media so you don't know the trains don't run on time, and also making it illegal for anyone to tell you that the trains don't actually run on time. Then decades later, absolute fuckwits with a taste for boot leather and zero ability to think critically think the trains ran on time.

Because you clearly can't figure this out for yourself, you're that fuckwit.

I just spoke to a woman who was denied approval for a PET scan to verify her cancer hadn't returned. They didn't schedule that, but they did schedule her a panel of STD tests even though she doesn't have multiple partners etc and no history of injectables. The only question is whether a piece of shit human or some piece of shit software made the decisions.

You seem to be using the old definition of "inflation", which is properly called monetary inflation or currency inflation. But the current accepted definition of inflation is a broad-based increase in the price of goods and services, the cause doesn't matter. This explains your confusion, and how you aren't on the same page as anyone else in this discussion. It is annoying that the meanings of words can change, but that's what happens when they aren't sufficiently specific to begin with. That's why making up new words based on roots, prefixes, and suffixes with actual meanings of their own is preferable to borrowing other words which already have meanings. Inflation comes from Latin inflationem (nominative inflatio) "a puffing up, a blowing into; flatulence" and makes no mention of currency or prices.

Shame on you for criticizing "Slashdot" for using words incorrectly when that's not happening.

Yeah, because they need more real money to pay for things whose prices have increased.
