That mandatory isn’t the same as automatic?

Also, I’d guess that there are a ton of people who are not in fact aware of that requirement.

> mandatory isn’t the same as automatic

We know what the pieces are in the mandatory system.

What pieces make up automatic registration?

Iunno, counts as both dark pattern and a form of enshittification from where I’m sitting.

It’s thoroughly unenforced, which is the problem.

Tho I like the proposal to require that manufacturers design car horns to sound as loudly inside the cabin as outside. Might make a dent.

Thanks, Claude.

Believe it or not, iteration, editing, and research all existed in the typewriter age.

Vehement? Maybe. Violent? Doubtful.

This seems incredibly marginal relative to the choice to grow lettuce in a desert.

I actually heard a podcast once, and they asked a similar question. "Why does it make sense to grow alfalfa in the desert?"

The answer was surprising at first, but not really:

- You can grow a lot of it because there's a lot of sun

- You can get 8 or so harvests when in a normal climate you might get two

- There are no bugs in the desert that will eat your lettuce

Yes, it makes sense in terms of output IF you can sustain the water inputs. But the water inputs aren’t sustainable. Cutting back on that sort of farming in the region would make a much greater impact than fractions of percentages from digitizing infrastructure.

I thought you just said you spent however long building a prototype to answer those questions.

well the tool will tell me that there is a whitespace - but it won't tell me what developers think. ;)

This sounds like a copyright violation machine.

I say that both as someone who writes vooyrighted code and someone responsible for ensuring my company’s code doesn’t violate anyone else’s copyright.

Valid concern, but I guess screenshot feature on every computer could also be considered as copyright violation.

You're right though - don't use this tool to violate copyright please :)

I was thinking the same. Plagiarism as a service, lol

If you love plagiarising, I will not be able to stop you :(

Thank you, Claude
