In this case, the person gave me a heads up they used AI. Basically "it might not be good quality bc I used an AI, sorry."

isn't "stochastic chaos" redundant?

I am the sole maintainer of a library that has so far only received PRs from humans, but I got a PR the other day from a human who used AI and missed a hallucination in their PR. Thankfully, they were responsive. But I'm dreading the d

I had a quick check, and there were zero Americans on board this Malaysian aircraft shot down by a nuclear power over Ukraine, so I don't know how you think it's relevant to an American aircraft full of Americans being shot down

Are you alleging that the FBI interviewer unknowingly interviewed Teller who was posing, with a high degree of skill, as a woman known to be closely associated with Feynman? Because the FBI interviewer refers to the interviewee with feminin

I heavily use Discord for fan works stuff (I run some major annual fan works projects, like a big bang, charity fundraiser, zine, etc.). That's how I know Discord has this feature! Top right corner has an @ and it's the "ment

Nota bene, then is not a monad because the implementation of then implies map is isomorphic to flatmap. This is because `then` turns the return value of a callback into a flat promise, even if the callback itself returns a promise. That is

Yes, I 100% agree. But I want to mention something that isn't a disagreement, just a further nuance: 1. my explanation of monad is sufficient for people who need to use them 2. your explanation of monad is necessary for people who mi

by KPGv2 9mo ago
Right. I don't know how many times I've been exasperated by how monads are perceived as difficult. Do you understand "flatmap"? Good, that's literally all a monad is: a flatmappable. Technically it's also an ap

yeah, same here, I was like "wow what an interesting side to their business, a whole operating system intended to serve public and academic libraries!"

Also you can probably still write. Just not by hand. Which is a vanishingly useful skill. Unless you're applying for something in China , you don't need to know how to write hanzi ever, except for very one-off instances like &quo

If French trademark law is even remotely close to US trademark law, it can't be applied to videoconferencing because you can't apply a trademark that is just the term for the category of product that is covered. So for example,

In fairness, Python as an ecosystem doesn't make it clear, either. I used to write a ton of Python back in the v2 days. I came back to Python to write a web crawler in summer 2025 and couldn't believe how it was still a bunch of a

Literacy shouldn't matter for the definition of knowing a language anyway. Orthography isn't language. It's a symbolic notation that represents a language. Blind people don't speak a different language from non-blind peo

This sounds like some absurd mis-optimization of parameters on your part.

Because it would mean any contribution by AnkiDroid's owner to AnkiDroid would be considered property of his new employer, AnkiHub.

I have this vague sense that this is the opinion of many people in the Anki community many years ago when I last used it (to improve my German vocabulary before my first child was born—with whom I speak German). I was reminded that AnkiHub&

Outside investors want profits. A company with thirty-five employees wants profits. I don't see a meaningful difference.

Yeah, and while they say AnkiDroid is going to be maintained by the original creator separate from AnkiHub, we won't be privy to any employment contract language that makes any work done by the employee as being property of AnkiHub. Wh

Yeah this is what I always expected to happen. Cryptographic signing of source material so you can verify who the initial claimant is, and base credibility on the identity of that person.
