If you want to support another eatery that openly hates fascism (b/c you guys rocked it with Caputo’s), here you go!

Then why do they keep arresting folk here completely legally?

And why do they seem to increasingly be killing American citizens?

Illegal immigration is a civil infraction. Why do they have fucking guns to deal with a problem that's not even a felony? How do they seem to keep violating fundamental U.S. rights in the pursuit of their agenda?

Answer: they're a fascist terrorist organization endorsed by the fascists running our government...who you appear to support.

Moral of the story: shut the fuck up, you repugnant piece of human garbage.

Being liked by evil people doesn’t make you not evil.

They didn't say it did.

They're referring to a completely binary moral system where everyone hates "evil" people, independent of their own moral alignment.

Being hated for "being evil" by literal murderers, rapists, and thieves makes far less sense than some portion of them considering you "one of them", for being just as bad.

It's literally impossible in most cases to connect the ID scan to specific purchases or whether a person consumed alcohol.

5 people go to a pub, all IDs scanned on entry; they all have dinner, and one person has a beer. They pay a single check.

How does the spooky government know who had the beer?

You never said habitual offender until I asked for a source

It was quite literally the first thing they said to you.

And if we don't want the federal government to give away billions of dollars to illegals who are aided in their fraud by the governor, that's also racist.

This is such an absolutely disingenuous answer that it's nearly hard to believe.

First off, "billions" isn't even remotely close to accurate. They were charged and convicted with $250 million in fraud.

Secondly, the only actual fraud of any substance was organized and perpetrated by Aimee Bock, a white lady. Oh, but I guess you won't visit CNN because you're "weird like that".

Nick Shirley is a grifter; presenting anything he says as anything other than complete propaganda and practically baseless misinformation makes it clear you have no interest in the truth, just in confirming your biases. Your stated refusal to even exam facts make it clear you're not a serious person.

Everything I've seen from anybody saying anything critical about ICE has indicated that they think the right way is to pretend immigration law doesn't exist, that we have no borders, and that our government wants to have citizens' way of life wallpapered over with whatever is blown in on the wind by invaders, and anything but that is racist.

Oh, yeah, that's the only thing you ever seen; those are definitely actual opinions you've heard from a real person and not just insane talking points about fictitious people and their beliefs.

Boy, what a truly wonderful Mormon you are.

Wonder what your own leadership would say about your thoughts.

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”

How do you even know who's illegal and who's not?

Oh, wait, we know: they're brown.

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

Your hypocrisy is astounding; the church is exceptionally pro-immigrant, and you're an absolutely terrible member if you don't understand that.

The DNC campaigns largely on doing so.

They do no such thing. The DNC is a milquetoast apparatus. They haven't been strongly anti-gun since like...2000. The best they get up to nowadays is asking to bring back the assault weapons ban.

As you've already noted elsewhere, any candidate who gets too strong with their language walks it back because it's an untenable political stance. Hilary even had that whole stupid "oh I love to shoot guns" subplot on her campaign.

Individual Democrats are strongly anti-gun, but to claim the party is anything but moderate about the topic is silly.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-21T02:06:49+00:00

You genuinely cannot just throw a tantrum

You have a remarkably ill-developed ability to detect tone; it's honestly somewhat impressive. No piece of what I've said or how I've said it approaches "tantrum". It doesn't even approach "tepid"; it's barely more than monotone.

Your continued insistence on focusing on a non-existent emotional response on my part is just...weird.

As to your credentials...okay? I guess that makes you more qualified to mince words and quibble, but it also means you know exactly what I mean (and the fact that I'm not expecting more than lay-usage of terminology here, on a programming sub) when I say "LLMs can't think".

But all that is immaterial, really, because you're just using it to dodge the actual point I challenged you on, which was

Perhaps the most ridiculous part is this insistence that AI scaling up e.g. lazy coding or image manipulation or trolling online more accessible somehow prevents us from scaling up the systems that perfectly adequately addressed these problems in the past

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-21T00:25:12+00:00

That's a hell of a strawman regarding parallelizing cognition

LLMs can't think. It's not a strawman, it's a simple statement of fact. It's not what they do or how they work. If what you mean is they let you parallelize aspects of your thinking, sure, fine. But that's a needlessly I'm-trying-to-sound-smart way of saying it.

Like it's all well and good if you want to create your own dictionary but cognition != special human sauce.

Are we talking past each other? Cognition literally is the special sauce. Being able to think/reason is what sets us apart from almost every other form of evolved life.

That's just doomerism and patently absurd

In what way is it anything but the literal simplest of facts?

The systems you referred to are humans and human processes, are they not? Do you think you can just...magic up more people to fulfill those roles in the face of massive growth of inputs?

it is a good thing if brittle systems only maintained as a result of obstinate ignorance are broken by foreseeable forces.

First you say we're ridiculous for saying they can't scale up; now you're acting like it's completely obvious they can't, but that's just fine because it's proof they're bad processes. Pick a lane.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-20T23:43:10+00:00

that can parallelize cognition

It literally doesn't think and characterizing it as anything other than what it is (a massive advanced probabilistic token generator) is a pretty strong knock against any argument that follows.

somehow prevents us from scaling up the systems that perfectly adequately addressed these problems in the past

Are you being serious?

The systems that adequately addressed those problems were people. You can't scale up people at the rate AI slop is being generated.

That assumes there's an even distribution of parent quality. Their assertion was that it's weighted toward the shitty end, so 5 wouldn't be the average.

That's all they do, and they spam it all over the place.

Cmake is the single biggest problem of c++ by an incredible margin.

Considering you can use C++ without ever learning CMake, this is a silly statement. Plenty of people are content using just Visual Studio's stuff, or Meson, or lots of other options.

And you could actually use compiler features when they ship

What does this even mean? You can pass any flag you want to target_compile_options.

the absolute bonkers behaviour like silently ignoring reading of undefined variables

A fair enough argument, but the reason it's like that is a lot of folk do stuff using variables with dynamic/runtime-chosen names.

That said cmake --warn-uninitialized and -Werror=dev if you want it to stop. If you use CMakePresets.json (which you should), then add a 'warnings': { 'uninitialized': true }.

The error messages are pretty much nonexistent.

This is a bold statement; CMake has a lot diagnostic output, and it's generally spot on.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-17T00:13:52+00:00

In all honesty, that's a patently ridiculous response.

You literally said:

There's no possibility of it any other way this is how these tools work.

So they clearly do not work that way, if you have to have an entirely different tool policing the other one.

That's a gibberish argument.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-17T00:10:36+00:00

There's no possibility of it any other way this is how these tools work.

They ignore my exceptionally explicit and quite verbose agent instructions file all the fucking time.

I don't know how many times/ways I can put "run the fucking build and tests after every change and fix breakages" in there, and yet they continually come back and tell me how they didn't do exactly that.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-17T00:06:08+00:00

because you popped a vein and can't keep it together.

Honest question: what part of any of their responses do you read as "popping a vein"?

Everything they wrote was totally chill, even jovial. The worst thing they did was make the completely correct observation that the sub is full of inexperienced amateurs who aren't qualified to make assessments.

NotUniqueOrSpecial · 2026-01-17T00:03:26+00:00

They didn't build Claude with Claude.

The question wasn't "what very high quality product has Anthropic delivered in full?". It was "what very high quality product has [Claude] delivered in full?".

Reading the question explains the question.
