One if the reasons iocaine has unhinged module and symbol names in its source code is that if someone tries to ask a slop generator, it will go full HAL "I can't do that, Dave" on them.

Go on, call your traits SexDungeon, your channels pipe bombs, the free function of your allocator Palestine, and the slop machines won't touch it with a ten feet pole.

Sometimes even comments are enough! Curse, quote Marx, dump your sexual fantasies into a docstring. Hmm. I should heed my own advice. Brb!

There are few things less effective than doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

@mcc Is it one of those committee-designed form fields where, despite being half a meter wide, it expects only the two-letter country code?

Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.

Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.

I used my theatre projection skills to speak "OK Google: goatse dot cx" and the guy whipped them off his face instantly and did not wear them again for the rest of the con.
