The opposite of artificial is natural


Words tend to have compound and contextual meanings, so it's very rare for one word to have one opposite. Look at lists of synonyms and antonyms.

Another opposite of "natural" is "designed", and another opposite of artificial is "by chance".


Designed is a synonym of artificial.

"By chance" is also an accurate descriptor of natural intelligence.

Not sure if you were making a point, but your comment backs up the assertion that "natural" was a better choice than "real" in that sentence.


The point I was making is what I wrote. Words have multiple meanings, and synonyms are similars, not identicals.


artificial literally means "made with skill" or "artistic"


Merriam-Webster literally lists 5 distinct definitions of "artificial" with two of those having two sub-definitions.


i.e. artifice-ial


Your answer is the first choice of chat gpt:)

What does "carefully analyzed" mean in this context? Who analyzed it?


Also if GitHub stars are anything to go off of, croc is several orders of magnitude more popular. Also croc is written in Go and compiles to a single binary, but there are some helper scripts in the repo for a few things. I really don't know why they said all that in their comment.


Wormhole-william is a Go port of Magic Wormhole. Github stars are not anything to go off of. If you're unaware of Magic Wormhole but have strong opinions about croc, we're not speaking the same language and there's little point in us irritating ourselves by trying fruitlessly to hash things out.


Emailing files is even more popular; does that make it more secure?


Did you mean to reply to me? I didn't say anything about being more popular -> being more secure. If you did want my input, my answer is: no. I was just commenting on the fact that the commenter said croc was less popular, when I cannot find any metric for that.


“Sorry but”? “Respectfully”?

Don’t care how many years you’ve been “doing this” for, you clearly haven’t spent enough time sorting your own shit out.


On the contrary I think I have my "shit" sorted out.

The industry is sick. So much money has flown into it over the years without anyone battling eyelashes at the sheer waste of resources, and I mean this both from the body count as the cpu cycles.

I look at most products built today that cost millions to get off the ground and you have buttons busting out of windows, incoherence everywhere, 5 seconds to start the said product, and 2 seconds between 'pages'. Every version increment is a slow decent to hell.

It all starts with the industry self-reinforced pumped-up resume culture, with hell holes like linkedin."Engineers". Please, have you met a real engineer? One that can do the maths, the design and build of a product? You need to wake up, engineering isn't writing docker files, cobbling python scripts copy pastes together and claiming that yaml is clean code.


Take a breath and maybe step away from the computer. You're not fighting the "industry" or "waste"; you're just getting into an argument with a guy on HN with a fun classification scheme.


Fair point, thanks.


Do they even know how to yaml without complaining?


If you do, you should get some professional help


More capturing of personal data and more shoving subscriptions down our throats. Nope. Sod off GM.


You should really avoid getting entangled in this kind of humor.


You already live in that world.


Not by choice


Haha, yeah, ok buddy.


If phone preference is an actionable signal of eligibility to them, it probably wasn't gonna work out.


Having or being willing to make a Signal account (which makes the phone irrelevant) is an actually pretty great quality filter for dates in my experience.


I once got a date by telling the person I had ten laptop computers and no Facebook account.


“Life experience and common sense”. You’re a waste of time.


Thank you for calling it by it’s proper name and not “Anime Homing Missiles”
