This is a very worrisome perspective about undefined behavior. It suggests that the issue with undefined behavior is that there is a bug in your code and it's the bug that is the problem. But that's not (entirely) the case, the is

Don't immediately believe what you read on Hacker News, certainly not to the point where you'd jump to such a significant conclusion over it. ChatGPT is simply inconsistent about enforcing rules. Sometimes you ask it to generate a

xAI doesn't have the money to buy X either. This acquisition doesn't involve any cash whatsoever.

Yes, self-dealing is illegal when taken to mean a precise legal term; a fiduciary using that position to carry out a transaction in their own self-interest and against the interests of their beneficiaries.

I don't think it's available to everyone yet on 4o. Just like you I am getting the same "cartoony" styling and poor text generation. Might take a day or two before it's available in general.

One of the main contributors to the C++ standard library refers to it that way. I can also confirm that many members of the C++ Committee refer to it that way as well. https://old.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/c90

Sure but that adjective matters. Could be cheapest, "intelligent", fastest, etc... it's rarely all three of them.

I'd really rather not tell you our database schema. Instead of expecting businesses to tell you domain specific things and then answer questions about them, please just understand some basic principles behind a large class of algorithm

You absolutely can't do that in C++ with consteval + template. C++ would need support for reflection to do that, and maybe it will get it in 10 years, maybe not, but as of today this would not be possible. Furthermore, the original arg

I didn't go out and ask random people, but as far as sales figures go from what I find Baldur's Gate 3 has sold more copies than Halo 3 has. Of course it's not a fair comparison since Halo 3 was released in 2007 and only on a

There's no shortage of examples: Iraq, Egypt, Argentina, Pakistan, Philippines to name a few recent examples.

This shouldn't be factored in unless you never debug your own code. At any rate, I don't know about OP but usually when I get an LLM to write out some code, I also have it write out the tests for it as well.

In reading the actual judgement that's not the case: https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Mc... Tucker Carlson is specifically cited as maintaining that he spoke the truth on pa

This is a take you'd only hear on a site like Hacker News. Software development consistently ranks among the least stressful jobs you can get and it's really out of touch to compare this profession to genuinely stressful jobs. Loo

To be honest this sounds like something someone inexperienced would do in any language. If you're not comfortable in a language, then sure you ponder and pontificate and wonder about what the right approach is, but if you're exper

Okay in terms of philosophy sure you could maybe make an argument, I don't know. What we can, however, say that is more tangible is that the make-up of Hawking radiation cannot depend whatsoever on the matter that falls into the black

The Wikipedia article is fairly loose with language, but at any rate Hawking radiation does not originate past the event horizon itself but just before it.

Your claim that a symmetric two player game always results in a draw is what I was replying to. That is only true for a strictly determined game. As far as chess is concerned, it's unknown what perfect play yields, but if a round of ch

If you just mean a closed group of people are passing around stock among each other, never able to collect a dividend or add new participants, then sure such a system would not be positive sum. But the participants listed, pension funds, ba

For anyone else reading this wondering how it is hedge funds can fail spectacularly, this is why... People get enamored by theory but forget that the theory depends on subtle details and preconditions that often don't apply in the rea

Unexploitable does not guarantee a draw. You can play optimally and still lose. However your main point, that GTO can not be exploited, is correct.

Everyone can make or lose money depending on whether the value of the stock goes up or down and whether the participants own the stock or are borrowing it (short/negative ownership). You mention two factors that can introduce new capit

Refrain from using quotes unless you are actually quoting something that someone has said word for word. One good aspect of quoting the actual words someone has said is that it can act as a sanity check against potential misinterpretations

Your comment is way too vague to be declaring anything as flat out wrong. At any rate, federal employees have numerous protections from being fired arbitrarily as laid out by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, a law passed precisely to l

I don't think this is a counterexample or even relevant. I can assure you if you had a conversation with an LLM and with a human, the human will forget details way sooner than an LLM like Gemini which can remember about 1.5 million wor

The problem with this line of argument is that nothing an LLM, or any algorithm period can ever have a theory of mind. If behaving in a way that is identical to a person with actual consciousness can't be considered consciousness becau

Single point of failure does not mean failure. It's an engineering term that refers to the risk associated with consolidating numerous responsibilities under a single system.

You don't need an unbounded integer to get the algorithm to work though. All you need is to test and set the value to 1.
