The Jesus people love it when Americas army support Israel

The racists love it when Muslims get killed

Having grown up deep in the Bible belt, I can say that there's often a lot of overlap between the Jesus people and the various -ists

Bigotry has been a big part of the Moral Majority's platform for decades for a reason - it works on that demographic

I have an armchair theory about one possible contributing factor

These are two of the most fundamental beliefs of evangelicals and they don't make much sense when you put them side-by-side:

1. God is the ultimate progenitor and prototype of love

2. God wants to torture a LOT of people forever, some of whom you may know personally and may be all appearances be decent people

This sounds really, really cool. How does reviewing such patch-PR's work?

The LLM models give the most likely respond to a prompt. So if you prompt it with "find security bugs from this code" it will respond with "This may be a security bug" than you "you fucking donkey this curl code has already been eyeballed by hundreds of people, you think a statistic model will find something new?"

There are mastodon communities such https://mastodon.art/ where AI is explicitly banned.

Solar panels are waterproof (how else would they survive rain) as are insulated electric wires. The only challenge is connectors, and there are ways to make connectors submersible-safe.

This is how floating solar is a thing.
