US politics, negative@ireneista Unless multiple total changes to the plan have been made and I haven't heard about them, the plan to actually land on the moon remains a total fantasy, requiring multiple non existent and untested technologies to be invented like mid flight refueling with liquid oxygen and liquid methane with an unknown amount of support rockets being launched to do that (12 at the low end, 20+ at the more realistic end it seems). The reason is because we decided that spacex should build a rocket too heavy to actually be able to carry its own fuel, and with less carrying capacity for non fuel stuff.
And yeah the way people talking about the fly by did make me check that I'd missed something. Honestly, I'm surprised even this mission launched.
politics@AnarchoNinaWrites Unfortunately that's been their position on everything else so far. It's always "we can't be mad he said he's going to do it, he hasn't done it yet." right up until "he's already done it so we can't do anything against it."
Politics@AnarchoNinaWrites I hear a lot of "Iran's not reasonable to demand America leave the middle east because America needs to protect its allies from Iran", but these people never seem to consider that America's the main escalatory party putting its "allies" at risk.
tdov, politics, rant?@puppygirlhornypost2 I feel similarly about arguments about disability. Arguments like the curb cut effect helping able bodied people to, or that anyone can or will become disabled. Maybe people deserve respect and help just because? We shouldn't need to "justify" or "prove" it any more than that.
US Politics@TheGreatLlama@AnarchoNinaWrites We all know they're hypocrites that don't care about consistency, but somehow I doubt the "free speech" argument will be extended to, say, a teacher using a student's chosen pronouns against parent wishes.
applicable to llms but not restricted to them, capitalism@lumi Another thing I don't love is appeals to futility when arguing against adopting a policy against it. It may not always be possible to distinguish slop code from other code, but that's on the person presenting it as their own. All technology is inherently built on trust and cooperation, it'd be silly insist that we shouldn't bother because someone may lie. At the very least, signaling that you yourself commit to not using it is worth something.
Also, a lot of slopcoders are really proud of the fact they don't review their code, and easy to spot.
