Not with the way the ultrarich ones do it the old-fashioned way - paying a few people very well. Shows executive potential, after all.

Prove I did not write my code if I do not tell you which tools I used. =}

That's not how that works.

You warrant you wrote the code yourself, then it is found your code infringes on code owned by other entities. Now you have a tough choice: admit you lied about writing your code yourself tainting all of the code you claim you wrote since these tools became available or stand and take the infringement penalty which could be very substantial.

Judges and courts don't like playing silly games like this.

I've sued two parties for copyright infringement and won and a third settled out of court for a substantial sum. You don't tell a judge you don't need to prove you wrote the code, that's an automatic loss. Then there are such things as expert witnesses who will interview you and check how much you know about the code you claim you wrote.

This doesn't really make sense; in no way can an "expert" interview definitively assert someone wrote a piece of code or not, especially if the person has access to the code beforehand.

They don't need to prove it 100%. They just have to show that it's likely you did.

I believe the standard can be as low as "more likely than not".

I’ve done temp. transcription for grey hat medical “expert witnesses” who are paid by innocent and guilty alike, fwiw - mercenaries.

That's what I say when I breathe car exhaust. Why cannot all combustion engines be removed from society for my health preference?

That's one of the reasons they are banned from selling new ones starting in 2035.

I don't want to inhale microplastics from tire wear. When will this be addressed?

Sounds a like next century problem to me.

Some cities have streets where internal combustion engines are banned.

Some have bans on just diesel engines. Others ban combustion engines during some hours. Some inner-city congestion taxes have been introduced for health reasons.

While I appreciate those efforts, and do not mind tobacco-free streets, I'll also note that some cities have unfiltered power plant exhaust falling on them, carried by the jet stream from other cities vast distances away, which care less about the problem. The local solution may not be the optimal solution.

Spec-mode in the Kiro IDE generates requirements and design docs for a feature; the design always contains one or more Mermaid diagrams of the arch in the feature.

Judging from Claude Code and the sheer number of “Make Your Favorite Anime Crush Into An AI” SaaSes on the market, I’d posit that both the young and experienced are quite enthusiastic about the new tech.

If you had kids, or friends and family with kids, you wouldn't be making false conclusions based on some weird proxy "metric".

None of the targets have anything remotely resembling free press. So yes, the real effects were censored.

cough and an A10

As a longtime iPad Pro (large) user that always gets the AppleCare, I have walked out of the store with a brand new device a half-dozen times with only a few questions asked.

Well….they tended to collapse after a couple centuries.

How does that compare with putting hundreds of thousands of people into cages for arbitrary reasons, I wonder. Or depositing them in random countries to be killed because they are e.g. homosexual.

Breaking a country's immigration laws does come with consequences, yes, at least if the government is willing to enforce to said laws, as it should be. Previously we had governments that weren't.

If you have a problem with those laws and think our borders should be wide open, that's of course a different matter, and one you should take up with Congress, which makes the laws.

I think those laws should be changed by the way, to be much friendlier towards Hispanic immigrants. They share our cultural values and are easy for the US to assimilate in my opinion, so long as they're properly vetted for obvious criminal behavior, ability and motivation to work, etc.
