The problem is the messy in-between, plenty of people who talk to professionals or call hotlines don't know that their questions are dumb. The bot should at a minimum say "I have no information on that" or "that's n

Well see, you actually missed the catch that by eliminating everything except income tax people like Elon wouldn't have to pay any tax, it's even better for them. He's not getting a W-2, virtually all of his income is actuall

> unless there is some reasonable person standard applied here like 'everyone knows Harry Potter, and thus they should know it is obviously not CC0' Yes there's an expectation that you put in some minimum amount of effort.

I agree it was a moderation issue, but for me it's Reddit that largely replaced my SO usage starting some years ago. Reddit is pretty similar to SO in design, but the more decentralized nature of the moderation means that questions rar

Something that bothers me here is that Anthropic claimed in their blog post that the Linux kernel could boot on x86 - is this not actually true then? They just made that part up? It seemed pretty unambiguous to me from the blog post that th

It's phishy because it's breaks the rules people are generally told for avoiding phishing links, mainly that they should pay attention to the domain rather than subdomains. Browser even highlight that part specifically so that you

Without questioning the LOC metric itself, I'll propose a different problem: LOC for human and AI projects are not necessarily comparable for judging their complexity. For a human, writing 100k LOC to do something that might only reall

Yeah I agree that one isn't very clear, perhaps the idea is to use `msync()` as a barrier to achieve consistent ordering of the writes without having to handle that yourself with more complex primitives. But then, they do mention some

Just because you believe X is going to happen doesn't mean you can make money in the market off of that information, that requires judging what _everyone else_ thinks will happen and thus how the market is priced. You could just as eas

I would add, I've always felt the addition of the 3D screen also held it back because the touch screen became relegated to always being secondary (so that the main display of the game could be 3D). Many games that were sequels to touch

Pawns only get 6 moves :) But also they can't all make 6 moves because they can only move past each-other via capture, so half of them would get 5 moves instead (if you're counting all the captures), so that gives a maximum of ~88

It depends what rules you're using, but there are the three-fold repetition and 50-move rules which allow a player to force the game to end in a draw. The catch is they both require one of the players to claim a draw under the rule, ot

Comparing Chess AI to AlphaStar seems pretty messy, StarCraft is such a different type of game. With Chess it doesn't matter if you get an AI like Lc0 to follow lines it played previously because just knowing what it's going to pl

`eay` is just the initials of the original author, so basically the same thing as `awk`.

You can, but then the names get needlessly long and one of the things we generally like (especially for command-line programs) is names that are short and easy to type. If we're going to make this argument then why not call the unix to

Yeah this definitely falls into the category of "I use them so they feel natural", there's nothing amazing about those names. The underlying problem is that you now run into so many named things (utilities, libraries, program

I think the problem is that if they're in the road their liability and required smarts go up a lot. Right now it sounds like they're at least partially relying on being the largest thing on the "road" and everyone else w

In this case the problem is that the fed is the one who runs the TSA and created the Real ID rules, but the states are the ones that actually issue the IDs meeting those rules. The fed couldn't force the states to implement the rules a

What prevents a farmer from simply switching back to the non-GMO seeds if the GMO option goes up in price? Or even ignoring that, switching to a different cheaper GMO seed from a different company? I think that's the piece I and others

"Bugfixes" doesn't mean the code actually got better, it just means someone attempted to fix a bug. I've seen plenty of people make code worse and more buggy by trying to fix a bug, and also plenty of old "maintaine

It's a difference of whether the function arguments are declared or not. If you declare a `void foo()`, and then call `foo((float)f)`, the `foo()` function is actually passed a `double` as the first argument rather than a `float`. If y

FWIW licensing is definitely part of why some 'obvious' stuff is still missing, Nintendo doesn't own the rights to games that they didn't develop themselves (generally speaking). Ex. We'll probably never see the fir

"Operating system" has no real technical definition, it's a term that doesn't cleanly map to all the stuff we call "operating systems" today. Even the "technical" definition you gave is murky, that de

It costs more because it's less dense than DRAM - the same transistor count that produces 2GB of DRAM can only fit a fraction of that in SRAM because it's 6 transistors per SRAM cell vs. 1 + capacitor for a DRAM cell. Power usage
