  • I’ve been a profession Dev for 20+ years. I generally agree with you, but I have experienced what appears to be non-deterministic behavior. One room me it was a multi threaded algorithm and would return slightly different results each time. My theory for mult threaded apps is an environment effects each thread differently. What other tasks the user is doing effected the thread execution order and would give different results based on which thread finished.

    While I still think the process is deterministic, but with enough factors it becomes indistinguishable from non-deterministic.









  • The author of tesseract hardcoded blacklists that targeted communities, moderator and phrases that were progressive or anti-conservative. These blacklists weren’t editable by a user, not publicised, and not documented.

    Users then starting posting how it explained why they weren’t seeing that content as much. Then some users cried themselves to sleep because they weren’t special enough to be in included in the lists. 😭

    So they got called out for supporting fascists, took their toys home, and left a boobie trap on their website while crying to sleep at home alone, or maybe on the streets. I don’t know or really care where they are crying.
