One thing which I did not see specifically mentioned was the potential economic motivation for hospitals to rely on AI to do the doctor's job instead of hiring more or better doctors. That is to say, hospitals will make business leve

I don't know about nepotism, but I have heard the security background were easier with mormons. If you list all mormons as references and the investigators go and ask other mormons about how good and trustworthy you are as a person, wh

This reminds me of a book I read a while back where a CIA guy was talking about problems they had with a newer generation of officers. IIRC, one of the field officers was interviewing another female officer's agent (agent being the loc

I like scan-build better than codechecker, but codechecker is the only thing that does CTU, which is much more thorough. That being said, codechecker is not that great in terms of it's interface. Over all, it really needs to be impleme

No. Term limits have nothing to do with the overall strategies being used by subversive non-government organizations. They function in the background and direct the party to steer policy in their favor. All of the deep research required to

Aside from purely capitalistic motivations, there is such a thing as environmental warfare. Unless you want to naively assume that any foreign nation might always have the best interests of another in mind when exploiting their resources.

This take is a bit silly in that they are implying the problem training models will be that we will run out of data. It's more likely that the problem is that the current models require too much data to reach convergence. We've be

It's intentional. One of the biggest threats to authoritarians is an educated electorate. All of this is part of a larger war on public education in Texas: Book bans, accusing librarians of stocking pornographic material, pushing radic

Star Raiders is a great game, but Gauntlet(Gauntletak) was hands down my favorite. I still fire up an emulator every now and then for a play through.

Yes, some of the transformation mechanisms are nice if you need to dump info into it and want it reorganized or processed into something else as well. But outside of that it's hard to justify spending $20 month so you can be bullshitte

Yes, they not complicated, and I imagine it's a non issue for most. The interface is awkward however in that in other languages you would overload the function or pass a data structure, or reference of one, to manage additional optiona

The API documentation should reflect that the result is context sensitive. Not reading that is a good way to get burned despite the language. Perl is well known for it's multitude of idiosyncrasies, this is one of the reasons why it ca

wantarray() is a sensing operation that allows a type of transparent function overloading: Oh you wanted just a scalar? OK. Python's ordered arguments mixed with out of order labeled arguments is worse IMO: Tell me arguments in this

I am surprised no one has mentioned Perl's miserable signal handling and how working with binary data is clumsy and slow. These two things are what make it difficult for me to promote Perl as a great general language. But when you need

This branch of comments has decent gripes. I adopted the contextual thinking fairly easily so it was not an issue for me but having worked with so many languages since perl I can see why this would be annoying to others. It's not the m

More precisely the percentage was 3.6, which is not great, but not terrible. I've been told it's the equivalent of a few pay raises.

There are plenty of authoritarians in the US to conduct warfare against our institutions that are up to speed. We don't need to wait for anyone else overseas to get this party started.
