Aviation in particular has a very strong culture around (government mandated) checklists and post-crash investigations. This has both pros and cons. The pros is that every airline learns from the mistakes made by every other airline and ove

That particular impact was undone in a single weekend. She may be an absolute rockstar otherwise but "firing Altman" is not impact when he is still in control of OpenAI.

I guess Tesla has to hope Danish/Swedish customs employees are ambivalent too then. You'd need a lot of trucks to replace a single car transporting ship btw, so even if Tesla manages to work around the strike that way it might b

That assumes that action is cheap and likely to lead to success, which is not necessarily true. In many fields, acting when you shouldn't can even lead to worse outcomes than doing nothing. Even when the outcome is relatively neutral

The Dwarven god in DnD is so good at crafting he can literally make new souls in his forge. :)

And yet it is a repeatable process that: - uses the information it already has combined with new inputs to form new information based on both (aka reasoning) - retains learned information over time (aka memory) - contains feedback loops to

I think that in a few decades after we've had a lot more experience with various NN-based AIs, someone will come up with a more general quantification of "intelligence" that can integrate all these approaches into some vaguel

FYI, the Houthi flag literally says "death to America" on it. They've made their position pretty clear.

The problem statement was super clear though. "Find the first occurrence of any one of these strings in a longer string" doesn't require any fancy regex tricks, just a for loop and knowledge about `isPrefixOf` or `startsWith`

When searching for the last number in the line I just reversed the line and scanned through it looking for the reversed strings for the number: one -> eno two -> owt three -> eerht etc It makes the entire solution extremely simple,

Meh. Was early Windows (and/or MSDOS) perfect? Obviously not. Was it better than its competitors? Yes. Absolutely. Compared to what we have today they were all shit tbh and MSDOS was better than most. Don't get me wrong, the marke

Probably neither. People like to belong to a group where they feel they "belong" and that in itself is sufficient explanation for the spread of religions IMO. Propagation of societal values and/or fear of hell and/or fea

There's also plenty of religious people who have never murdered anyone in their lives, and there have been plenty of dogmatic massacres for reasons entirely unrelated to religion. The two issues seem to be quite uncorrelated tbh.

This is like saying you can go hire the top graduate of your local bootcamp and they can be a decent tech lead. Experience matters for legal and business roles just as much for engineering, much as we devs like to pretend otherwise.

Windows (especially v3.1, Windows 95 and Windows XP) was leaps and bounds better than its contemporaries when it came to normal desktop use. You can have the most technologically advanced OS in the world but if it is too difficult to use fo

Yes! Let's settle the matter now and forever! We could probably solve most sports while we're at it, settle who is world champion once and for all!

So? My distro doesn't come with almost any of the tools I need for day to day work. It has never been a problem for me to install a new editor or compiler on a new machine, I don't see why ripgrep would be any different. Especiall

It would be without the tooling, yes. Shopify has a merge queue thingy that you can just shove you MR into and it will eventually get around to deploying it. It even gives you a ping on slack when your changes are about to go live IIRC.

Decades-long buy and hold investing. Buy once then sit on your ass for 40 years. This works quite well but is actually surprisingly hard to do for most people.

You can make it sound as esoteric as you want, but in the end an AI will still be bound by the laws of physics. Being infinitely smart will not help with that. I don't think you understand logic very well btw if you wish to suggest tha

It does mention in the article that: USCGC Polar Star (WAGB-10) began its journey to toward Antarctica in support of its yearly trip to McMurdo Sound. So it's probably sailing alone right now , but other (cargo) ship

I would expect that actual AI researchers understand that you cannot break the laws of physics just by thinking better. Especially not with ever better LLMs, which are fundamentally in the business of regurgitating things we already know in

That kind of engineering is surely done for "big" projects but I'm pretty sure my contractor didn't do any FEA modeling when he put up my shed. He knows from experience that normal wooden beams and some steel bolts will

Because OpenAi needs prodigious amounts of money to build its various products, far more than can be raised from donors. So investors are needed since otherwise the company could not exist at all.

It would be interesting to see how that compares with other professions. Do carpenters or dentists leave for other fields at the same rate? How about other types of engineers?
