    Then that nonsense starts to evolve and converges into meaning. I am curios what AI would come up with If I asked it to create a new c++ code documentation system.

    Maybe I should start banning some folks. You either follow the directions of the mods/admins or you're going to find yourself on the receiving end of the ban hammer. Is that clear enough for you?

    Indeed, and that speaks against your principle of writing documentation before coding. Better short comments in the code. And my idea was to leave the final documentation to AI using code and comments. But someone said it is bad troff code...

    I disagree in my culture nothing I said was out of line or even odd. It would be like me getting upset at you for expressing things you find odd in your culture.

    Nope just pointing out cultural differences. In the United States saying "Fag" in public would likely get you killed. In fact, I felt uncomfortable writing it.

    This whole thing has been on topic. It's about AI how did you expect it was going to go?

    You are adding geography, a parameter that has no influence in the phenomenon. AI would have probably not done it. Perhaps the reason is that you expend too much time at work with top engineers and do not have contact with normal people.

    When you create a jail with poudriere, it copies the host's /etc/resolv.conf. Looks like you may have created those jails when your host's /etc/resolv.conf was a bit dodgy. You can set an alternative file it should copy to the jails (at creation)...

    I have very frequently the experience that some people get offended when they meet someone more intelligent than them. I can imagine that people acting that way, and so stupid to also personalize AI, do get upset.

    So how do I know they can write good documentation? Because the ones who do now have a job. Good docs aren’t harder than coding, we only tell you that to make you feel special, so you keep doing the job we don't want to do.
