My compliments to your vocabulary and effective word choice.

I don’t see why… once you “buy a column” (which you must weigh the trade-off towards readability), subsequent uses of that column on other lines are free (save the line itself, of course).
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 days ago:
Ok… just for you, I will extend the saying to be “every line and column is a liability”.
- Comment on CTO reveals new AI plan... 3 days ago:
Even then, so the theory goes… every line of code is a liability, it is only emergent properties of the system as a whole that makes it an asset. It takes but one line to destroy it’s value, and in general a 2kloc codebase is more valuable than a 4kloc codebase, if they do the same thing. QED? :)

By using the software as intended. I guess I could file a bug report, but I think it’s hilarious that you think I spent a bunch of time compositing a gimp screenshot to that level of detail, but refuse to believe I would spend even a few seconds compositing the original (with obvious 3rd arm and poorly colored zig-zag join points).
- Comment on Anything for you, babe... 1 week ago:
I don’t know what you think I’m claiming. I just mashed some images together, I never said I took them with a camera. FYI: The screenshot is legit. Also, you might be interested to learn about “merge down”, it really helps with layer management. docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-layer-merge-down.html

Yes, the base images are AI generated, but it will actually refuse to generate such an image (child endangerment or abduction).
- Comment on Anything for you, babe... 1 week ago:
I have no idea what that actually proves, as I could just as easily mess with the gimp screenshot in, say… gimp… (or I suppose ask GPT to make a gimp screenshot?) but here you go. Image

I wonder if people are mistaking my rough gimp composition for AI giving the guy a third arm…

I guess it is allowed in the sense that moderates won’t remove it, without a guarantee against an angry mob razing it with down-votes. :)

I wonder why people downvote this… some kind of brand loyalty/emnity, or buyer’s remorse?

By extension, ufo and alien abduction stories may be likened to animals trying to get others to believe they saw a tree flash a brilliant light late at night.
