<disclamer>I don’t want to troll, this is a serious comment and I just want to highlight different perspective to improve mutual understanding.</disclamer>

Definition of words depend on the context. They are model to express ideas and have a common understanding of things. A bit like Newtonian model explain why planete orbit around the sun (Until mercury drift comes into play).

If we were on the context of neurological conference or medical comitte, I would completly agree with you. But we are on Internet, on Lemmy, and on a post that don’t even aimed to talk about mental disorder. Stating this, when talking about illness in this context, one refer to high level definition of illness that you’ll first find in the dictionary. According to Oxford dictionary: “a condition in which the body or mind is harmed because an organ or part is unable to work as it usually does; a disease or sickness”

I hope you would agree that, taking only this definition, Autism, at least more extrem cases, respect this definiton.

Adding precision can be usefull, but you’re then changing context. Let’s take an analogy.

My daugther asked me yesterday why the sun rise on a side and fall on the other side of the horizon. I told here it’s because sun rotate around the earth. This explanation is enough to answer the question, and is in the context of talking to a 5 year old girl. There is no need to explain that earth actually rotate on itself and around the sun, and that rotate around galaxy. There is no need to detail about Newtonian mecanic, nor general relativity in this context. This would just add noise to the discussion. The geocentric model is true in this context.

Another analogy. I’m talking about multiplication, and affirm that ab = ba. In this context, without precision, everyone agree with this. But, strickly speaking, multiplication being a binary operation acting inside a group, it’s not always commutative. Typically, matrix multiplication is not commutative. So, ab = ba in the context of algebric structure is false.

As a matematician, there would be no reasons to feel ofended or to claim that ab=ba is false when commenting post talking about, let say, carpentry. You can precise that, when digging into the details, there are cases when ab != ba, to open another discussion, but claiming that ab != ba, in the context of carpentry, is just… wrong.

Worst than that, it generate conflicts. You claim that someone is wrong without arguing, or explaining your own context. Going to the extreme, I’m quite conviced this kind of behavior fuel intolerance, up to the point of having a a retarded redhead elected (I think this will become the new godwin point). Most of people have nothing against Autism, LGBTQRST+, or whatever minorities. But being constantly corrected that “there is no 2 gender”, “autism is not a decease”, “the terms master or blacklist are ofending because it refer to slavery”, etc… just becomes unbearable and makes people fall into intolerance. Not because they have something against the minory itself, but because they feel attacked.

My 2 cents.

I think I’ve spot the autistic guy.

Depend on the level. It’s a spectrum, but at some point it do become a illness.

That at the begining, I thought the principle was to make computer smarter and smarter so that they can reach the level of human brain. But it’s seems they just try to make people dumber and dumber to reach level of current AI.

Dunning-Kruger effect.

Lots of people now think they can be developpers because they did a shitty half working game using vibe coding.

Would you trust a surgeon that rely on ChatGPT ? So why sould you trust LLM to develop programs ? You know that airplane, nuclear power plants, and a LOT of critical infrastructure rely on programs, right ?

neovim, because it’s much nicer and user friendly than vim.

Prompting.

Remember the day where you have to type commands on a terminal to do anything and some guy came up with “button” and “windows” and suddenly you could print yo document with a single click ?

Oh, cool, let’s bring back the trend of speaking to your computer through a text area !

Fuck LLM.

The point of self hosting is not to engage people going in your server. The point of self hosting is to have control over your infrastructure. It’s like renting or buying a home.

When you buy a home, you don’t complain that no one wants to sleep in your home 😆

It’s a bit strange. On one side you talk about a project you work on, so I expect a repo on github or something, on the other side the link you post redirect to a product or a service you seems to sell.

It’s cool if you can make money with it, but to be more effective you might have to clarify your point.

I don’t even understand what that guy is trying to sell. Is it some kind of picture of a monkey ?

I’m happy to pays tax cause it means I have enough money to pay tax.
