so-long-mode is sophomoric garbage.

The buffer is the UI, rendered by Emacs's extremely optimised text display machinery
The author is known in the community as a mere packager whose knowledge of the nitty-gritty derives entirely from hearsay. Perhaps he read the long-winded preamble to xdisp.c written in 1995 boasting of all manner of optimisations. But they were written so long ago, almost no one believes most of them matter anymore, what with thirty years of bitrot.

Not every modern editor. Neovim bogs on long lines too.

Anthropic, like most frontier companies, have more money than they know
what to do with. When the prize is world domination, turning a profit
isn't high on their todo list. Twenty dollars per month is the bare
minimum hurdle to prevent DoS bots from ruining it for the rest of us.

"Tremendous societal cost" is putting it uncharitably. My country was
built on the financial incentivization of patents. I can think of
several economies with an open disregard for patents, even some where
the state assumes ownership of all innovation, and I'm happy I live in
one where IP hoarders like The Walt Disney Company continue to thrive.
