>Do you agree that C++ pass-by-value is using copy constructors? C++ is an incredibly complex language that it's almost never the case that you can make a categorical statement this simple and have it be true or false. In C++, pass

>So, unless you have chosen to shoot yourself in the foot by defining a class who's copy constructor doesn't do a deep copy, then C++ pass-by-value will indeed do a deep copy. You either are misspeaking, deeply confused, or qui

You seem to misunderstand the meaning of deep versus shallow copy. This distinction has to do with how references/pointers get copied. In C++ the compiler generated copy constructors are shallow, not deep, meaning that if you want a co

Why would you copy a whole list to modify a single element?

Why not? I already use LLMs to generate summaries of my emails, search emails, and perform a host of email related operations as do many people. No reason OpenAI couldn't release their own email service that tightly integrates their LL

Yes but ChatGPT has not replaced Google Search at a profit. ChatGPT loses revenue per user. Certainly the hope is that at some point they become profitable but the concern is that might not happen.

This is as relevant as claiming the President doesn't set taxes... it's technically true but displays a very superficial understanding of the overall political process.

Reviewing various western democracies it looks like most mayoral candidates run affiliated with a political party. The exception is Canada where mayoral candidates run an independent campaign.

I'll just speak for myself, but I use Copilot with Visual Studio and C++ and Copilot does an excellent job of interpreting the instructions given to it and ensuring that the code I write is consistent with the coding style and standard

Weird claim since threads were originally introduced as a concurrency primitive, basically a way to make user facing programs more responsive while sharing the same address space and CPU. The idea of generalizing threads for use in parallel

The same reason an actual AI wouldn't play chess by brute forcing every possible position. Intelligent systems are about reasoning, not simply computing, and that requires operating at the level of abstraction where your intelligence i

There was no need for you to involve yourself in the discussion to begin with given that you misunderstood every single comment that has been made, it's for the best that you refrain from further involvement.

When someone says "I don't understand why FOO matters so much..." it's usually understood that the author is trying to say "FOO doesn't matter". When the author then follows up with "It's sad th

Doesn't make much sense to say it doesn't matter and also that it's sad. If it's sad then it matters, if it doesn't matter then it isn't sad.

OpenAI has published a great deal of information about hallucination rates, as have the other major LLM providers. You can't just give one single global hallucination rate since the rates depend on the different use cases and despite t

I treat std::variant the same way I treat std::tuple, which is that I use them internally/privately and don't expose them as part of a public API. If I want to expose a std::variant publicly then I take the effort to emulate Rust,

I think the being an aficionado is clouding your judgement, because it's pretty obvious what the intent is.

Ease of implementation was not the issue here, on the contrary the easier implementation would have guaranteed that std::variant<Dog, Cat> always contains a Dog or a Cat. The issue was performance in that guaranteeing a Dog or a Cat r

Yes, C++ and Java have different conditions for what a data race is. That your position hinges on thinking all languages share the same memory model suggests a much deeper failure to understand some of the basic principles of writing correc
