But this just raises the question of what it means to be larger in time than space. You can look at it in terms of multiples of Planck distance or time, but I think there's a more enlightening way to look at it. If you express the speed of light in those Planck units, it's 1. But the speed of light is also the maximum speed of causality. Any causally-bound system must run long enough for chains of causation to propagate, usually far below the speed of light in practice. This means that basically anything that exists within the bounds of our manipulation must be happening at scales where there is far more time involved than space.

We all exist below the diagonal because the diagonal is the bound at which the ways chemistry and biology work no longer even are theoretically possible.

This thing where we've traded societal trust for profits for the companies destroying it is a bad choice, and section 230 is what enables it. Let it all burn. Bring back small communities with internal trust relationships. Growth is not an automatic good.

(No, pointing out that I wouldn't be allowed to post this isn't a clever gotcha. The whole point of advocating for change is that it would affect me too.)

What if the goal of an economic system was to support everyone instead of maximizing the upside for winners? Perhaps that's the sort of change necessary for improvement. Perhaps having billionaires is the failure state.

How you politely communicate that you don't have anything to add? That varies by culture. That LLM content is not a useful response? That does not vary by culture.

No. It most definitely does not mean this. Go read the series this is part of: https://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should...

It is absolutely critical that people programming in C understand what real compilers in the real world do.

We agree that the program should exit early. I think we agree it should do it cleanly and intentionally. I'm adding the constraint that "crash" doesn't necessarily mean "cleanly and intentionally", especially when talking about a C program.

The spelling for compiler authors getting to choose a behavior is "implementation defined", as the other comment mentions.

So at the very least, adding a cooldown raises the difficulty of these attacks above that threshold.

This isn't to say that you're wrong about your main point. Steam is heavyweight to use just as an input profile selector at application launch. But you should be careful about details if you choose to include them.
