While I doubt this is a result of the boycott against Telsa's Nazi-saluting CEO, its great to see the shift.
BYD sold 5,001 vehicles in Australia in January, a staggering 641% increase year-over-year, while Tesla managed just 501, leaving the American automaker in 24th place as Chinese brands continue their takeover of the Australian EV market.

Yeah, other languages have very different syntax etc.
And yes "Eats shoots and leaves" is a great example where adding mere punctuation changes the sentence entirely.

code. Flaws we quickly fixed, but went unnoticed for ~18months or more.

I've used Claude to add features to the services we develop at work. It can write code that fits in with our 1million LOC system much quicker than I can, and it can add unit tests for the untested parts of our code base. Reading those unit tests has been an eye opener regarding flaws in the existing

Might be controversial, but as a Discord user with a kid who wants to use it too, I am onboard with this.
if a multinational software corporation has to comply with many jurisdictions rules on what content they are allowed to serve to users,
eventually a tipping point gets reached, and that complexity collapses to "everyone on the planet gets the most bubblewrapped version. we cbf tracking ts anymore"

The problem is when the signal is short lived - long enough to earn kudos but not long enough to impact society.

This is what I am seeing across the market "Use AI to get more done, so the company can deliver faster with less added expense." And "Since its the AI tools delivering the increase in performance, no raises"

That sounds like something an aunt or grand mother would do... Could it be family?

That's the same distance as as changing "didnt" to "didn't", which doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.
None of the algorithms for text distance account for the meaning or context, which is the key here.

I am aware of the Levenshtein distance but that would put a change from "Putin sent tanks, drones, and troops to Odessa, US" to "Putin sent tanks, drones, and troops to Odessa, UA" at a distance of 1, despite the entire meaning of the sentence changing.

Aside from using an LLM, how one would write a detection algorithm for this is beyond me.

But I agree changing "didnt" to "didn't" shouldn't reset engagement, while swapping out the name of a place/person should.
"I love Perth, UK" vs "I love Perth, AU" is at best a 2 letter difference, and over 300 characters that is a tiny change, but they are on opposite sides of the world...

I think the old post should still exist as a history record attached to the new one, with all the engagement of the original still attached to the old one, each subsequent edit would add more history records (Like commits in GIT for devs).

#ICE (or anyone) pepper spraying some one like this when they pose no physical threat should be prosecuted as assault.
DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

"Self driving car" is a misnomer. These vehicles are driven by software running in data centres.
They are drones in an automobile hive. They are computer driven cars but they don't do the computational work themselves.

That is neat. I moved from full stack to back end 5 years ago and CSS has improved so much!

Look in to Anycubic's Kobra S1 - cheaper than the Bambu lab offerings and close in quality.
