Since a certain point in time, I usually reject most startup offerings, because their term all look fishy.

up2isomorphism commented on Generic Containers in C: Vec uecker.codeberg.page/2025... · Posted by u/uecker
Many C programmers need proper generic programming mechanisms (perhaps something like Zig's comptime) in C, but macros are the worst possible approach, and they don't want to switch to a different language like C++. As a result, they struggle with these issues. This is what I think the standardization committee should focus on, but instead, they introduced _Generic.
They showed something they think it’s neat. You start a topic with the assumption that they struggle, not sure how you get that information from the original post or you just want to state that claim anyway?

Glock should show up to the UFC and win the whole tournament handily.
Exactly!
Why so many people are still jumping into this overcrowded space is beyond me.

In fact no car company claims “gold medal” performance in Olympic running even they can do that 100 yeas ago. Obviously since IMO does not generate much money so it is an easy target.
BTW; “Gold medal performance “ looks a promotional term for me.

It's a lighthearted post, so probably not worth tone policing.
It has nothing to do with the tone, it is just a fact. So there is nothing to police about.

There are numerous distributions not using systemd. So adding “complete, utter, unmitigated “ in front of success seems far-fetched.
up2isomorphism commented on LLMs should not replace therapists arxiv.org/abs/2504.18412... · Posted by u/layer8
Thing is, professional therapy is expensive; there is already a big industry of therapists that work online, through chat, or video calls, whose quality isn't as good as a professional (I am struggling to describe the two). For professional mental health care, there's a wait list, or you're told to just do yoga and mindfulness.
There is a long tail of people who don't have a mental health crisis or whatever, but who do need to talk to someone (or, something) who is in an "empathy" mode of thinking and conversing. The harsh reality is that few people IRL can actually do that, and that few people that need to talk can actually find someone like that.
It's not good of course and / or part of the "downfall of society" if I am to be dramatic, but you can't change society that quickly. Plus not everyone actually wants it.
The question is why should that be so expensive? The labor market is not working here.
LLM for therapy is way worse than porn for real sex. Since at least the latter does not play around with sanity.
The rule should be: One has to give up dream to become rich if they want to become congressmen. They should be able to live like a middle class, but not rich.
Also they need to have term limit.
