Given he's into cross-species dating he can't be that good a boy.

Now the effort is going into finding reasons not to like things, it seems.

Very odd. Where I live you're not supposed to return the bottles with the cap, they're different plastics and the recyclers don't want the caps. You're supposed to throw the caps away in the regular trash.

The example shown was specifically selected because it's funny, not because it's representative.

The fact that you called the tool "chatgpt4" suggests you're not experienced with copilot. They're not the same thing even if they're using similar LLMs as a component.

To the contrary, I see code like that all the time in my career. I've written some.

Why hasn't it been incorporated into IDEs until now?

I am becoming increasingly convinced that so is the human brain.

Fortunately it doesn't have to be exactly like the real thing to be useful. Just ask machine learning scientists.

Are you suggesting people shouldn't be allowed to own stuff? There are very few economic systems where people aren't allowed to own stuff and they tend not to be popular. Most of the people who are complaining about landlords and rent and whatnot really just want to own their own houses.

You answered your question in the sentence right after your question. The landlord owns the property and so he can do what he wants with it. He's letting you live there but has decided he wants something in exchange for letting you live there. If currency didn't exist he'd want something else in exchange.

I should note that currency and capitalism are not the same thing. Pretty much every existing economic system has currency of some form, it's just a way of tracking the relative values of various things so that people can make agreements about who gets what.

Sure, but having a smoking section in Tim Hortons isn't going to change that. I'd think it'd make it more likely for smokers to throw their butts out in a manner that can be properly disposed of, rather than making them smoke outside.

Note that I'm not advocating smoking or smoking sections. Smoking is awful on many levels and I'd rather see it go away entirely. I'm just pointing out that it's ridiculous to say having a smoking section in Tim Hortons is going to have a significant impact on the environment. Jumping to "this is going to fuck the planet" is crying wolf, it's going to result in people either getting sick of environmentalism or more subtly problematic it'll result in people thinking they're making a difference when they're not. The plastic straw ban, for example. Plastic straws were never a major contributor to ocean plastic waste. By far the largest contributor to ocean plastic waste is discarded fishing equipment, but I don't see any campaigning to reduce seafood consumption. People banned straws instead and then thought they'd accomplished something.
