They wanted to copy the McLaren F1, but didn't have the guts to do a central driving seat.

>you need to tolerate "deleterious speech" in a democracy.

Why? You can have a democracy without the right to free speech.

I thought you weren't supposed to use it to estimate man-hours? Or is it ok if we don't allow engineers to provide time estimates, but permit simulations to do so?

For forecasting what, if not man-hours?

I take it further. I believe that WW3 has started before we even realised where the battlefield might be. Unfettered, anonymous, practically instant access to interfere with almost every earthly inhabitant's life and thoughts is a scenario beyond the wildest dreams of any despot until recently.

In case my point was missed, I was doubting the "people" element of the communication, not the "free speech" (although my opinions on that have also changed since my idealistic early internet days).

I would say that the ability for plausible-looking online personas to infiltrate and influence people's thought processes is the root of what plagues use, and a chronological feed wouldn't fix that!

By what metric has it worked well?

As I see it, online communication is more like de-humanised, context-free access to singular statements on a topic. As such, it does not equate to "people communicating freely".

State ownership is just a proxy for public ownership.

Strictly speaking, it's modifying itself. Although it would be an interesting challenge - can an llm create a new llm from scratch?

Alternative interpretation of the facts - "our slop generator has become buried in slop - could we all just take a breather for a moment?"

Right, and that's why Mel was a true programmer!

Seriously though, that's an overly-pedantic definition of a compiler. Broadly speaking, languages compile in a direction of decreasing abstraction. Crossing from one high-level abstraction to another is just asking for trouble, especially in this case where the target language makes very specific performance promises as long as certain abstractions are maintained.

I am looking forward to the first release tomorrow though!

Engineering decisions and the resulting output.

We've known for decades that machine-translated code is garbage, and should only be done as a last resort.
