Comment on A philosopher’s one-word theory to explain why the world feels so weird: uni-context in ~humanities

Agree. Anonymity/pseudonymity is a means of preserving our ability (maybe even our right?) to choose what context we're operating in at any given moment, a way to maintain the barriers between the different people we are in those different spaces. There's a lot of useful things about the connectedness that comes with a uni-context (see @chocobean's top-level comment) but it brings with it a lot of challenges too, since it's such a radically different environment from the one we've evolved to function in. Being able to adopt different identities (those things that, according to Callard, cut across contexts) lets us get a little of the best of both worlds. We can access the connectedness on our own terms instead of being completely reshaped by it.

I have a doubt only regarding young programmers that don't have enough experience, and can't build a mental model. We don't know, yet, if they will require or not to understand very well how a given piece of code works, but I believe they should learn how to write programs.
I take that to mean, roughly, "If you couldn't write the code/solve the problem yourself, you shouldn't be asking the LLM to do it for you." So while I find a lot of what he says in there disturbing (e.g. "I believe many programmers at this point have less impact they could have because they look at the code. [...] The working day is 8 hours. If you read the code, it is a tradeoff."), the ending bit kind of qualifies the rest of it in a way that I'm slightly less uncomfortable with, I guess?
Idk. Looking forward to hearing what the professionals on here think.

After voting on a comment, I lose the ability to interact with anything within it (links, expandable/collapsible sections) until I refresh the thread. It seems to only affect the comment that I voted on, not others in the thread. It's highly consistent and reproducible for me, so I'm happy to help debug this if needed!
Android 17 (GrapheneOS) on a Pixel 8, Three Cheers v1.6.6. Guesstimating that the bug has been around since 1.6.0 or 1.6.3.

I'm using it with their Google Play compatibility layer so it's not as hardcore degoogled as it could be, and I'm sure that has a lot to do with my extremely smooth experience.
Only issues I've encountered were (1) an app demanding a higher level of verification from the Play Integrity API than it needed (not a sensitive app, absolutely no reason to do so when literally every other app I've ever used, including banking apps, works just fine without it) and (2) being unable to share location in Google maps, but I'm not positive that that one's not my fault since I didn't want to use that feature anyway and disabled a bunch of relevant stuff.
I'm not super comfortable with some of the behavior of the organization's leadership or their public communication practices, but the OS itself is fantastic. Happy to answer any questions you have.

And that makes sense about the other two; I've never gone more than a page or two deep on G4G and a lack of useful depth is what I'd expect from an SEO-driven site. As for FCC, I haven't actually used it yet, I just know it by reputation and have poked around a bit. Good to have some perspective here.
