Interesting. Wild, but interesting. I consider Mormons to be Christian too, I didn't realize it was its own thing, I thought it was just the blanket term for religions that worship Jesus.

But Europe has the literal Vatican! That's where the religion comes from!

The title makes it sound like the judge put Data and the AI on the same side of the comparison. The judge was specifically saying that, unlike in the fictional Federation setting, where Data was proven to be alive, this AI is much more like the metaphorical toaster that characters like Data and Robert Picardo's Doctor on Voyager get compared to. It is not alive, it does not create, it is just a tool that follows instructions.

The existence of intelligence, not the quality

I don't work in software, but networking, where I often have to work in CLI for configurations on multiple devices simultaneously. What I've been taught, and what's worked for me, is drawing logical diagrams by hand with pen and paper when I'm working in a system that I think has the complexity level to get lost in. I don't know for sure how well that will translate to software in general unfortunately.

Where that line is varies person to person, so you might only do it for those weird legacy systems. That's usually how it is for me. This is how I best understand things in general. Laying them out physically in front of me and writing it all by hand in the format that I Intuit really helps me keep track of exactly where I'm working on what

It's designed that way, because it has the same effect on everyone. People with ADHD are just starting with a lower capacity for it. The goal is to get as many people as possible to give up on getting what should be theirs in order to "save money". It's the same thing you'll see in certain software when you try to do something they don't like, for example, opening a link in an external browser, or contacting an actual support representative. Suddenly, this app is really poorly designed! It's not a bug, it's a feature

Data preservationists are beating back the coming dark age. They're heroes.
