That seems like a somewhat ridiculous objection. Should everybody start owning their own private planes to avoid people with BO at airplanes?

I don't know about a full on conspiracy, but it's no secret that in the US they put a lot of additional sugar into products you wouldn't think had them.

Zelda 1 has TONS of built-in compression, and it's own decompression routines.

That's not a very compelling counterexample, when you consider how often countries with governments force other countries with government to do as they want, often with nothing but economic or soft power.

Buying an entire cart full of groceries that will last for weeks is a somewhat American cultural thing. I'm not saying that I've never seen it, but the norm where I live in Europe is to have one of those hand-held baskets and gett

It does not, I've also used Dexie.js. Your usecase has most likely been too small to run into the very annoying walls.

I was shocked to discover how incredibly poorly IndexedDB works. I always thought it would be fast and snappy if a bit alien. But nope, it's incredibly bad! Despite being a native feature to the browser it's incredibly slow, and t

So there would be money, it would just be less efficient. That's a fair enough claim, but I don't understand why I was downvoted for asking.

Why would there be no money under socialism?

Emulators are wonderful, I got into assembly for the 6502 processor used in the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and it's been an absolute blast, there is something so inherently satisfying and almost zen-like in it.

A big difference is that you can't put a robot in jail. Even though the person driving the car is usually not harmed by hitting somebody on foot, it's still a life-or-death level situation, they might be looking at multiple years

I'm not saying that stuff like that doesn't happen, but what do you think is the ratio between employers abusing their employees compared to employees abusing their employers? And with the different kinds of abuse, which "sid

Bit of a ship of Theseus situation I suppose. Humans have been and will continue to evolve as well, but you still want to credit them as "humans", so why not give the same logic to the bacteria?

If you have public documents, you can obviously let a public search engine index them and show previews. All is good. If you have private documents, you can't let a public search engine index and show previews of those private document

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure there are types of bacteria that has existed long before humanity existed, and will exist long after humanity is gone.

It's roughly the same problem as letting a search engine build indexes (with previews!) of sites without authentication. It's kinda crazy that things were allowed to go this far with such a fundamental flaw.

The biggest reason is most likely that they don't understand serialization, and simply think that objects are somehow being "sent" from one worker to another, which sounds like a cheap reference operation.

You don't understand what Gigachad is talking about. You can buy API credits to gain access to a model in the cloud, and then use that to train your own local model though a process called distilling.

A much more likely scenario is that it's to hit some sort of internal metric, to have a certain percentage use of AI tools is a goal for management somewhere.

Because it's the truth. If you tell the AI that it's actually a human librarian, it might ask for a raise, or days off. If you tell it to search for something, it might insist that it needs a computer to do that. There will inhere

I think you should read up a little about what private companies have done once they have enough political power. They have actually kicked down people's doors and kidnapped them, murdered protestors, overthrown governments, and enslav

Check out the browser extension SponsorBlock which automatically skips over the length of such inline sponsorships (database is maintained manually but does a great job).

It makes sense to specialize it on one programming language to dedicate all of the LLM's intellectual space to that one domain, but on the flip side I wonder how much the LLM's sharpness and reasoning capabilities is increased by

How does the system separate between state changes that must be confirmed by backed compared to state changes that can be updated locally (by prediction) to give the user more snappy experience?

...don't get high on your own supply? It's pretty obvious that these tools are not replacements for developers as of yet. I've tried them, and they are very nifty, and can even do some boring tasks really well, but you can&#x

There was also the programming language Haxe which was like a slightly improved version of AS3/JavaScript that could output to .swf
