  • > Dyson is an example of someone whose narrative is bullshit

    James Dyson, the salesman of (slightly crap) vacuum cleaners to the middle classes?

    I believe he was called out by those middles classes for advocating Brexit to "boost British industry" and invest in Britain, then promptly shifting his operations to Singapore.

    ...however discussion on Fortan is inevitably dominated by those who once saw some F77 code years back and associate Fortran with punch cards.

    Fortran 90 was a big update of the language, and modern Fortran versions and compilers are very good indeed. Not to mention they can be used with the old tried and tested libraries which are bombproof.

    There is a reason Fotran is still used. It's simple, and you can *really* trust it.

    Non-attributed data from LLMs (known for bullshitting) is not helpful.

  • > Chatgpt makes it so damn easy to fact check bullshit online

    Oh dear.

    I certainly hope you aren't daft enough to trust LLM's known for hallucinating^H^H^H^H^H^H bullshitting.

  • Some very sensitive Americans must have downvoted that (rather factual) post!

    Call it a comment on capitalism or what you will.
