I don't know the particular "listen to women" trend you're referring to there but, as you say, there is no doubt that women hold diverse and independent views like men do.

So no statement by some or other advocate can legitimately claim to be the viewpoint of all women. Myself, I also wouldn't want that to be a bar that must be cleared to get onto the platform and take the mic.

We can listen even as women debate their own varied viewpoints with other women. And women themselves must call out and challenge the misrepresentations made in their name, it's a responsibility that comes with the mic.

What you said more or less, plus my 2c.

And if we left a population of SOTA LRMs on an island for long time, would we return to find that they had done the same?

Something like Robin Hood in the final analysis?

I am subjected to periodic performance reviews, you know.

There was that "smart contract" idea back when immutable distributed ledgers were in fashion. I still struggle to see the approach being workable for anything more complicated (and muddied) than Hello World level contracts.

That sounds pretty heavy on theatre and pretty light on insight!

My cupboard server at home is 2007 vintage ThinkPad I inherited from my father's discarded machines. The battery is gone and the CPU fan is shot so the processor sits at about 80 degrees C and gets thermally throttled very aggressively indeed should any work come its way (little does, and Debian doesn't ask much of it either). I didn't hold out much hope for its longevity but the damn thing just keeps running.

I wouldn't be surprised if its DVD drive is also okay and if you gave me a disc I could read the stuff off of it for you. Now there's something not everyone can do these days.

Et tu, Mozilla?

ClearCase. You just triggered my PTSD!

Oh we can have something stronger than almost a guarantee, I have first hand anecdotes of documents from the financial services sector being fed to ChatGPT for polishing. They weren't trade secrets but their classifications were INTERNAL, _and higher_.

Offer a 100% money back guarantee if the user finds that the software is not fit for purpose :)

"We'll fix our hardware bugs in software" :)

You've gotta be nuts not to be psychotic in a world like this one.

Thanks, I had no idea I was flirting with posting abusive content!
