1) Drugs in medicare need to be cheaper, absolutely, but that's regulatory/legal issue, not something that can be solved by tech. 2) $13.6 billion sounds like a lot. But what is it costing the entire economy by not "curing&qu

You can't have spatial and logical reasoning without qualia.

Otherwise known as the idea of qualia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia ). There's no indication that LLMs possess anything like it, so there is no "knowing". I'm also not sure we can ever imbue

This is a great argument. One just has to go to countries like Ukraine and the Baltic states to see what people think about Russia. Russia is an existential threat for these people. Not just some ideological opponent in global politics. The

I love this and I've thought about making something similar just for myself, because I miss fucking around with DVD cases, but I also don't want to own a large library of DVDs and blurays that takes up too much space. I need to do

I thought there would be price drops with the Pro being launched. Should've seen the writing on the wall that this is just a more expensive SKU to sell alongside the existing ones.

Nobody said you'd get all your money back. Used games historically were generally cheaper and unless we're talking retro games, used games are always cheaper. That's the point. You get games cheaper when you buy. You get some

I'm sure it's due to plenty of things the US has done. In the end, people are often unable to hold conflicting ideas in their head. So it ends up being "the US invaded Iraq so the US is always bad and Russia isn't bad be

Our culture has reached a point where there are no good guys or bad guys. Just look at Star Wars, where the latest director and actors try to argue that it's just a matter of perspective, the Empire isn't necessarily evil (despite

What's the better solution though? Tariffs, which end up just passing on the cost to consumers and do nothing about the competitiveness of the US's own industry, or subsidies, which can either incentivize waste or it can make US i

It's also a decent but annoying indicator for stress, lack of sleep and fatigue. If it's particularly loud, I know I'm tired.

Binning by core has been done for a long time, actually. I remember it being a thing with Sempron and Phenom, where AMD was so aggressively binning that you could unlock the locked core(s) and go from dual-core to quad-core.

Also, plenty of women worked. In 1950, women were 32% of the work force (in the US), earned 60% of what men earned and had little room for advancement ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_United_States_lab... ).

Science fiction that took place in space weren't necessarily predictions. They were imagining what life in space could be like, whether human or not. I don't see how any of us would benefit if every SF author had "realized&qu

At my first job a few years back I sat down with a senior dev at least once a week (informal meeting) to discuss my tasks and the code bases we were responsible for in general. It was incredibly helpful. I could also request feedback at any

Because the results aren't the same? I use AI every day for software development and a number of other topics. It's very easy to recognize the points where the illusion breaks and how it breaks clearly indicates to me that there&#

Go over the code again and again like you would if you'd written it yourself. Keep iterating on the code yourself without having the AI generate everything. In a current project I have everything internalised because I'm constantl

I've noticed the same thing. I can get great results by being detailed in my comments and/or docstrings. A lot of the time I don't want the AI actually "thinking" for itself.

by Sakos 2y ago
If inexperienced developers can commit code like that to master, then there's a culture issue, a process issue or both. This isn't a problem with AI.

by Sakos 2y ago
I'm not the same person but I share their perspective on this. I do it by treating AI written code the exact same way I treat mine. Extremely suspect and probably terrible on the first iteration, so I heavily test and iterate it until

I only use Copilot and Claude to do all the boilerplate and honestly just the mechanical part of writing code. But I don't use it to come up with solutions. I'll do my thing understanding the problem, figuring out a solution, etc.

If this is used in the EU successfully, it just means AI will continue to be developed and used everywhere else. I doubt the EU can afford to reject the kind of competitive advantage that could be enabled by it, particularly in the future w
