Sorbitol is known to cause GI issues. Some chemicals are actually just bad, but most aren't.

I would make one small change to the author's analogies of imperative versus declarative and one small change to their description of LLMs for declarative programming. First, on imperative versus declarative. I would describe imperativ

Simply observing a correlation in the wild is not evidence. Spurious correlations occur all the time. Even if it's a true correlation, that doesn't imply causation - they could both be unrelated results of some common cause. You n

I welcome some research in to this if only to put some credible evidence behind whether or to what extent processing of foods affects their nutritional value. I constantly see assertions that highly processed foods are killing us and causin

You inserted a dichotomy that isn't present in that article. The article explicitly points out that it does not say anything about the nutritional value. It does not say that the first three are nutritionally harmless, nor does it say

You completely misunderstand what the Streisand effect is. It's the old saying "You can't close the barn door once the cows are out." She wanted to stop the spread of knowledge that was already available publicly by lega

Irrational behavior goes well beyond clinical mental disorders. There are dozens of known biases and heuristics that we all follow every day that are irrational. There's a big difference between disproportionately attributing blame and

They mention having hundreds of contractors. Just because workers aren't full time employees doesn't mean they don't work for the company. Construction and sales are often done by "independent contractors". This red

Agreed, that's my experience growing up in a family where we regularly sang songs together casually as part of parties. It was less about listening to one performer and more about being part of the performance. Same still happens today

The problem is in how compiler writers have interpreted this as license to do some bizarre things. Does it contain UB? Skip that code entirely without saying a word. Regardless of whether or not the code is malformed, this kind of response

It's wonderful seeing this three days later after Guido himself has come in to say that this was nothing nefarious and more of an automation mishap. Yet here stands dozens of comments from people crying about how code of conduct is rui

The impressive thing about GPT 4o is how well it performs at most metrics. GPT 3.5 was already very impressive - most other companies are just catching up now. GPT 4o is a huge step above.

That simply means money and that's easy to come by. Proprietary technologies, good will, brand name recognition - those are things that are hard to replicate. If all it takes is buying enough GPUs then there is little preventing a comp

Training data can be anything. They scrape the entire internet, plenty of which is inaccurate or poorly written. That doesn't prevent it from being useful training data because the point of an LLM trained for text generation is to pred

I didn't quite grasp why the original splice has to be so slow. They pointed out what made it slower than vmsplice - in particular allocating buffers and using scalar instructions - but why is this necessary? Why couldn't splice j

This is something I often have to instill in new software developers and occasionally to remind myself. We default to seeing the thing we want to build and the plan that we imagine for doing so. As we proceed, every bump and deviation from

Anyone can get ChatGPT to write code for them. Whether it is compilable, functions as desired, secure, and free of infringing on copyrights or patents, and actually solves a real problem well for its user is a whole different question. Peop

While I applaud his openness and willingness to take accountability, I agree with others that resigning shouldn't be necessary. Resigning is what you do when you are clearly not fit for your post. Jeremy has demonstrated that he is any

The worst part about this kind of censorship is that it allows a national body to decide what is appropriate for your child to see. Moderating what your child can engage with had always been a right and responsibility of a parent and every

Both. There's a huge difference between designing a functional chip and designing a chip with high yield and long term reliability. Companies and individuals vary wildly in their processes and understanding. It's becoming a wide s

What was your purpose in developing this app? It sounds like you were trying to solve a problem you had for which there were no other good solutions. If this was the primary purpose, then it's only meant for you and not for anyone else

I get recognition plenty. We all get bonuses according to how well our division does, which is developers certainly have a hand in. If you do good work, you also tend to get promotions and raises well beyond the usual 5% per year.

The point is figuring out if it is information dense or not. You don't know until you watch it. An LLM can process the entire transcript much faster than you can.

We did so because it would have been even more confusing if one day we just switched the meaning. Electricity had been studied for a hundred years by the time we understood electrons as the charge carrier. In the mean time, many formulas we

Sources on the safety claims? Plastics were more flexible (in terms of usage), cheaper, and reduced use of paper and wood which, at the time, was a major concern as companies were clear cutting forests. Today, forestries follow sustainable

Management that knowingly chooses to ignore a major issue should be charged with criminal negligence. The creation of the bug is a common and difficult to avoid mistake. But once it has been found, choosing not to change it despite being wa

We used to use a similar tool in QA. Often when you accidentally reproduce something - especially something rare - you don't even realize it happened until it happened and then you can't remember what you did to produce it. Being

As others have pointed out, you could do so much with this. It's similar to a raspberry pi or a beagle board, but it comes with Bluetooth, a screen, and a knob for input. This is exactly the kind of thing that would be a great controll
