there is a very big difference between starting an ephemeral instant message without capitalization, and lacking capitalization throughout a more "persistent" long-term medium

For what is worth, it is incredibly jarring to me as well (I am a middle millennial, not a boomer, and usually not prescriptivist about writing style). My knee-jerk reaction (I know, book by the cover...) is that it is probably not worth reading given that the writer did not think it is worth making it easy to read.

It can do AR, especially with this addon arcturusvision.myshopify.com

It is recent and still uncommon that private universities have a grad student union. The US also has many great public universities that have had grad student unions since forever

Who has been projecting FTL as a realistic technology ever? FTL is not possible according to the current laws of Physics, while AGI is at least not forbidden by them.

I read OP differently. I thought they said "we should invest in non-dystopian public safety[1] to avoid dystopian populist creating a 1984 version of public safety".

[1]: I imagine this includes things like mental heath help, housing, and other related social safety nets.

This is far from true. On the experimental side, gate fidelities and physical qubit numbers have increased significantly (a couple of orders of magnitude). On the theory side, error correction techniques have improved astronomically -- overhead to of error corrections has dropped by many orders of magnitude. On the error correction side progress has been feverish over the last 4 years in particular.

This sounds incredibly naive. Competition does not magically prevent monopolies -- once you have a dominant player they just buy or undercut the occasional competing startup.

I am sorry, I did not mean to imply anyone else is doing something poorly. I believe glibc's (and the rest of the ecosystem of libraries that are probably more limiting) policies and principled stance are quite correct and overall "good for humanity". But as you mentioned, they are inconvenient for a gamer that just wants to run an executable from 10 years ago (for which the source was lost when the game studio was bought).

Wine's APIs are more stable than Linux's APIs, so it seems more plausible to me that Wine will become the first class target itself.

non-deterministic does not mean it is not biased towards a particular type of results (helpful results)

This is fascinating to me. I completely believe you and I will not bother you with all the common "but did you try to tell it this or that" responses, but this is such a different experience from mine. I did the exact same task with claude in the Julia language last week, and everything worked perfectly. I am now in the habit of adding "keep it simple, use only public interfaces, do not use internals, be elegant and extremely minimal in your changes" to all my requests or SKILL.md or AGENTS.md files (because of the occasional failure like the one you described). But generally speaking, such complete failures have been so very rare for me, that it is amazing to see that others have had such a completely different experience.

I know that China is an authoritarian near-dictatorial country that oppresses minorities and commits cultural genocide. And I am not an American.

That does not seem to be all that related to the original post I was answering to. An average person / citizen / visitor has way less to worry about around (trained) Chinese police than they have to worry about around an (gangster) American ICE agent.

Strict police does sound quite a bit less bad than fascist police...

As an aside, it is really interesting to see a computational package that, while supporting multiple GPU vendors, was first vetted on AMD, not NVidia. It is encouraging to see ROCM finally shaking off its reputation for poor support.
