Interesting post, but I am surprised the author does not directly address Mozilla's own recent controversy regarding AI authorship of commits to the Firefox repo (https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/71cc24b6a4...).


That's a fair question. Mozilla is a large organization and I don't work on Firefox itself, so the blog post wasn't meant as commentary on that specific change.

That said, the Firefox policy actually reflects something similar to what I'm describing in the post: even if AI tools are used to generate code, a human must ultimately take responsibility for what gets merged. AI can't own a change or be accountable for it.


It would be helpful to add "phpGPX" to the title of this submission.


Below the link to the North America file, you should see a few examples:

> A spirited attack on daylight savings from Canadian intellectual Roberton Davies in 1947: [full quote]

> A story of a public clock in Nashville in the 1950s with “dueling faces”—one time for conservatives and another for liberals.

> An account of the “day of two noons” in New York City in 1883, when standardized time zones were adopted and “local time” was abandoned forever.

> A detective story about ascertaining the proper chronology of time zones in Resolute Bay, a tiny community north of the Arctic circle.
