> sequitur

I love the malapropisms on hn because it always reeks of "I'm trying so hard to sound smart" lol. FYI non-sequitur doesn't mean "non-sequential" it means "illogical" (and thus sequitur doesn't mean "in sequence"). Also both of words these are nouns not adjectives.

Is this a performance art where you do the thing you accuse? "malapropism" is a five dollar word if "sequitur" is. The use tracks with the Latin or English definitions, what does any of this have to do with sequential? I imply the article is probably not simple AI slop because it follows official documentation. Add "a" in front of it if your worth is determined by neckbearding a borrowed verb that can only noun in the lease.

    No it doesn't

    > sequitur noun : the conclusion of an inference : consequence

    It is of course but I spent my $5 wisely because my use is syntactically and semantically correct.

    • > "the conclusion of an inference"

      Inference: article tracks accurately to other sources and reality Conclusion: no indication of simple AI slop.

      Fail and derail which has no bearing on the original topic of memory management nor whether AI is in play. Take the neckbeard behavior back to reddit.
