Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.

Good. We could do with a similar rule here on lemmy. I know there's probably a lack of people to fill all the needed moderator positions, but I'm pretty sick of seeing the same people moderating the majority of communities that I visit.

It becomes especially apparent when someone gets banned from one community and the powermod bans them from every other community that they moderate. It's rare that someone actually deserves that type of scorched-earth response.

It's also the nature of the accidents. There are human-causes of accidents that we understand because we are human. We can punish irresponsible drivers more harshly than those who just had a freak accident.

Automated systems on the other hand will fail in completely unexpected non-human ways. We will look at the circumstances of a collision and say something like "it was completely clear [to a human] that the pedestrian was crossing the road, how could the car not see them?" and this will fuel a contempt of the automated car for being incompetent in ways which should disqualify it from driving, as an incompetent human would be, even if the car has a fraction of the accident rate.

We can drive defensively by predicting the mistakes or bad behaviours of other (human) drivers. But when there are drivers on the road that are completely unpredictable and make mistakes in unexpected ways, it makes all of us less safe, and less able to drive safely.

Well it's mostly going directly to the hardware vendors (Nvidia) and infrastructure providers (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud et al.).

The usual problems with parsing ls don’t happen here because Nu’s ls builtin returns properly typed data.

Isn't that the point that the previous commenter was making by linking that answer? I read their comment as "here is why you should use Nu shell instead of parsing ls output."
