Moreover, this is a breach of trust between the reviewer and the author. Our assumption when we review is that we're talking to a real person who wants to do their best work.

I think this is a really excellent point and gets at a general feeling I've had towards LLM-generated PR comments for a while now. I can understand the desire to use LLMs to generate changes (my company pushes AI super hard and it genuinely is a helpful tool in many cases), but to delegate discussion of those changes to an AI model feels extremely antisocial to me. I don't really like the idea of vibe-coding in general, and this practice really distills down everything I don't like about it with an added layer of deception.

As other commentors have pointed out, it's vital that justice is applied as uniformly as possible in the interest of maintaining a fair and truly just system. Defense attorneys are an important check on the state and ensure (at least in theory) that it has met its burden in proving guilt before a person can be convicted, however heinous their alleged crimes may be. Without this adversarial dynamic prosecutors would be free to paint whatever narrative they please, whether rooted in reality or not, and any semblance of actual justice would go completely out the window.

You would need to spin the first gear 1 trillion times per second from now until the last proton in the universe decays, then do that about 10^68^ more times. 10^68^ is roughly equal to 52!, the number of unique ways a deck of cards can be shuffled. There's a somewhat famous description of how large this number is (paraphrased for brevity):

Start a timer that will count down the number of seconds from 52! to 0. Every billion years, take a step along the equator. Every time you go around the world, remove one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean. Every time you empty the ocean, take one sheet of paper and place it flat on the ground. Every time the stack of paper reaches from the Earth to the Sun, take a step up Mount Everest. Once you've reached the summit 80 times, the timer will have reached 0.

Interpreting a PR which changes "he" to "they" as pushing political ideology is not an apolitical stance. I don't know a ton about him and I'm not convinced this makes him a "fascist" by association, but the fact that he seems to be ideologically aligned with the ones in power on America is troubling at the very least.

That's not really how it works. It'll load quicker than on the 64 GB eMMC model, but that's due to different technologies and nothing to do with storage space.

The trouble is that "2 AM" now means radically different things depending on where in the world you are, and you lose any ability to be able to intuitively reason about the time in other parts of the world from you.

Their black coffee isn't great, but their espresso is good which is what makes it into the sugary drinks. I think the main draw is that it's pretty consistently decent, while with other chains like Dunkin or Wawa you're never quite sure what you're going to get but it's probably not going to be that good. I'll also add that the coffee they sell at grocery stores isn't bad (although it's far from my favorite). I think it's much worse at Starbucks itself because it inevitably ends up burnt pretty shortly after it's brewed.

As far as price, it costs $2 because that's the price that Starbucks determined maximizes profit. From what I've seen at other coffee shops though including Mom and Pop ones, that price point is pretty typical.

The title here isn't very good. He was previously sentenced to 13 years in BC, which was then replaced with a 6 year sentence in accordance with Dutch law.

I personally take the stance that the justice system should be rehabilitative above all else, but I honestly don't see how someone like this can be rehabilitated. No normal person would be capable of committing such an unambiguously evil act, and it's a shame he can't be put away for life.

It's a very slow moving project by design for better or for worse. There also hasn't been a ton of developer interest in the DE space in supporting it until the last few years since it would necessarily take resources away from other work, and generally X has been "good enough" until recently. I don't have anything to back this up but I suspect that the increased accessibility of gaming on Linux as well as HRR and HDR displays entering the mainstream had a lot to do with this renewed interest.

Except that's not actually an issue in practice. In a real-world conversation you would disambiguate with "Let's get breakfast" or "Let's get dinner" if you're not referring to the immediate future. I honestly can't think of a single time that I've been genuinely confused in this way.

Edit: Also, when would you ever make reservations for breakfast? Unless this is a joke that's gone over my head.

Maybe I'm mistaken on this, but I'm fairly certain the screenshot they describe as "Unity" is just a heavily themed GNOME. Also, I've never seen Xfce stylized as "XFCe." I realize that's not the point of the article, but just something that stood out to me.
