If Chatgpt replaces Google search then it will be effectively signing it's own death warrant. ML models like chatGPT rely on the open web for training data, particularly for information about recent events. But models like chatGPT are

defer can't emulate the destructors of objects that outlives their lexical scope. Return values and heap objects are examples of these since they outlive the function they were created in. defer only supports enqueuing actions at lexic

Oh, this steaming pile of FUD again. It combines a slick presentation with half-truths and misleading statements. This article conflates data sent from Chrome to search and other public APIs with data sent from Chrome to Chrome APIs for met

It's not that the money from the lottery ends up in a slush fund, it's that the government cuts funding for education by the amount that it gets from the lottery. The money from the cuts gives the government the same amount of &qu

No, the problem with insurance is not that providers have leverage over insurers. The problem is that people buying insurance have imperfect information about what that insurance will and won't cover when they buy it. Even after you ge

Yeah, the new "weight-loss" drugs seem to have significant psycho-active effects on the dopamine reward pathway. That seems like it may provide a more direct treatment than SSRIs.

If you ask any practicing psychiatrist, you'll see that they are aware of the problems with SSRIs. They tell their patients that they may need to try several drinks until they find one right for them. The way you presented those statis

A few years ago there was another AI that tried to beat Pokemon. It wasn't a LLM. I think it was an LSTM trained with reinforcement learning. It got stuck in Mt Moon. Right now, Claude has been stuck in Mt Moon for nearly a day. It kee

When they say "cash", do they mean a specific currency? Because I'm not too confident in the US dollar going forward.

I think parent post is saying that when they fixed the Y2K problem, they likely also modernized the date representation to comport with international standards. It wouldn't really be any more difficult to do both of those at the same t

I understand CPU time, as micro-kernels tend to be less efficient, but why do you include programmer time? My understanding is that it's easier to develop drivers for a micro-kernel. If you look at FUSE (filesystem in user space), and

Yeah, good luck with that. FSD has been a year away for over a decade. I predict states will outlaw it/require the driver to be fully in control of the vehicle if people actually start using it. Right now the error rate is so much high

Yeah, I think it's all those iframes. I'm seeing something weird on my Linux desktop - all the godbolt iframes crash on reload unless I have another tab with godbolt open. I didn't see anything obvious in Chrome's log.

by IX-103 2y ago
I'm also seeing this on Android Chrome. When I opened the page on my Linux desktop, I also saw the crashes (though they only affected the godbolt iframes). Note that on Android process separation is not usually as good, so a crashing i

The thing about Trump and Musk is that they both believed the other to be a convenient fool. It will definitely be interesting to see who lasts longer. I'd bet on Musk as he has better connections among the Silicon Valley elite that ar

They'll 25th him before they consider impeachment. Right now Trump is just a useful idiot being puppeteered by the Silicon Valley elite. They got "Just Dance" Vance as VP, so they have a good backup. All they would really nee

Good luck with that. And I say that as a fellow US citizen that has born witness to the abuses of the current bureaucracy. Good luck with that. By flagrantly violating the laws and constitution they are doing more than dismantle the bureauc

fMRI studies have found differences in the brain that are highly correlated with gender dysmorphia. So while we may treat it as a psychological condition, it, like many other psychological conditions, also has an underlying biological basis

Professional engineers are held liable for mistakes in their work. If a house falls or a dam breaks the responsibility falls on them to show it wasn't built as designed or there was some other factor involved that a professional engine

Sorry, I couldn't get through your third paragraph without hearing the "Team America: World Police" pussies/dicks speech in the background. But your argument is inherently flawed. Part of the point of government is to re

You should probably stock up on breakout boards in your most frequently used chip form factors. They're usually fairly cheap and can save you most of the pain of avoiding shorting pins on floating chips.

These days switching regulator have gotten so cheap that I'm surprised someone would use a linear regulator instead. You'd probably spend more handling the extra heat than you'd save on a better regulator.

It seems to depend on who you see and, probably, where you are in the country. Every time I go in to see my GP he seems to schedule a battery off lab work. And when I went to a dermatologist for an annual mole exam I left with prescriptions

So does everything. Everything runs off of entropic decay of the universe. Almost all the power we use is solar (stored energy from the sun). Nuclear is an exception, in that the energy didn't come from Sol, but some other star that we

You can usually find a couple of VPNs that work though. And even find a few holes to download the VPN software through. I was even able to watch YouTube during my last trip (one.....frame....at.....a......time....). Though it's difficu

One thing I don't like about Rust is implicit function return. Flow control should always be explicit. Given the other choices made in Rust to make flow control explicit (such as the absence of exceptions), I was surprised to find this

The problem with 1 child per family is that it cuts population too fast. You're going to end up with decreasing life expectancies because there simply aren't enough people to take care of the elderly. We're already seeing thi

The PMs only have a 3-5 year term. They can't be taken from the companies that bid due to conflicts of interest, so they rarely are in charge of an area they have expertise in. How long would it take you to get enough technical domain

I'm not so sure. The bug was that when an exception occurred while select was blocked then select did not properly clean up after itself. But no code in select actually dealt with exceptions at all, so handling it doesn't really
