That xkcd is exactly what this thread is about, and so your lazy linkdrop is completely beside the point. The bots are currently posting lots and lots of (often superficially) "constructive and helpful" comments, and it turns to be a complete slog and burnout for humans to figure out whether to press the "constructive" or "not constructive" button.
In the UK there are prepaid electricity providers: there's a card reader at the power panel. When you run out of credit, power cuts off, it resumes when you pay again.
Rings that can't be adjusted are ubiquitous. Walk into almost any store that sells rings, most open-air stands that sell rings, and you will find some. It's true they aren't usually preferred, but they are common.
TWO! Mine's cobalt as well. My wife picked it out when I'd lost my original gold ring (temporarily, cough). Besides looking interesting, apparently it was much less expensive than gold is these days.
Mental models existed before coding. The pyramids were not built by just a couple of guys hauling some rocks together. It was a highly structured organization.
Or the East India Company or many other great organizations that achieved big things before computers.
I just ran this on a personal repo I've been working on for two years. It's 250k loc of Python, that for the last year has been written with agents.
I told Claude to look at this article and the original research paper and calculate the numbers. Verbosity came out to 0.08 (lower than human, that's weird), erosion to 0.495, so between humans and agents. So according to these metrics, I have managed to contain the complexity of code.
Maybe if they don't like the results of the elections, they'll hold new ones until the "good" result comes out (true story, happened in Romania (a EU country) two years ago).
There was proven massive illegal funding of advertising for one candidate and the election result was annulled and rerun under the existing statutes and regulations under Romanian law, ordered by professional judges in a public legal process that was procedurally fair and had appropriate evidentiary requirements.
Stop parroting lines from organisations dedicated to delegitimising liberal democracies.
