"Many in the AI field": who exactly? Shouldn't the author quote a few famous people when making this claim?

It's a questionable study. Giving the same amount of money to a person from the UK and China makes no sense given the difference in income between these countries. Also, this conflates factors other than cheating, such as the respect r

Ignoring footprint and bloat, the big problem you identify is inflexible class design. I wonder why it happened? Is it hard for langchain to expose all the desired features of a tool like PGVector via its own class?

How is retina scan any safer than a password, an RSA key fob, etc? Someone can take a scan of my retina secretly (maybe not this year, but surely in the near future); someone can threaten me to take my retina scan; someone can steal a scan

I find it hard to sympathize with companies whose websites are full of AI, blockchain, and quantum trash. Honestly, idgaf if they get shaken down. If you have a product that people like, just market your product based on its features, and r

You make very good arguments in favor of joining threads in most cases, and I completely agree with you. Perhaps the only disagreement we (may?) have is that I think these arguments may not apply in some cases. In my first example, I would

Why do you need to join? Let's say I write a task that updates a progress bar as an infinite loop, and let it be gc'ed on program exit, without ever joining it. What's wrong with that design? I can, of course, modify the task

The number of developers defending this decision may also partly explain the decision. Developers' skill has many dimensions that are not perfectly correlated. It's quite possible that even among the (otherwise highly skilled) pyt

Curious, in what cases might this help? The compute would have to be python-bound (not C library-bound); and the frequency of module lookups would have to be in the ballpark of other dictionary lookups. I wonder if cases like this exist in

The discussion here has been of a somewhat casual nature: - expressing personal feelings about the lawsuit - honestly sharing one's lack of understanding of the legal or technical issues involved - making brief, unsubstantiated claims

You are suggesting that the downfall of Newburgh was due to people chased out of NYC by Giuliani, but this article suggests that Newburgh was overrun by gangs, drugs, and violence several decades before Giuliani's reign: https:/&

Maybe I misunderstand what flat hierarchy means, but I don't think it is the same as "design by committee". It can still involve a single person making all important decisions; only that person isn't the one with the off

A very good observation. Based on your comment, I think we can relax the requirement stated by OP by saying: "Until Waymo's cars reduce any individual's chance of an accident." So for example, suppose a Waymo car is bett

Presumably these computer models are mostly useful for creating new designs (since the old designs were proven by real tests). Would such new designs be convincing enough to the adversary to fulfill its role as a strategic deterrence? When

How would it help build better weapons? I thought the existing thermonuclear bombs do the job perfectly fine. Sure, the military might want to make them a bit smaller or a bit cheaper, but is it really such a big deal as to warrant a major

So I'm confused. The front-page article on HN is about why SBF isn't arrested yet. So shouldn't we already have a well-thought out suspicion of what he might be guilty of? Basically, do we think this is just another financial

You have any examples of that? Sounds far-fetched to me, since SO posts: (a) are in response to very specific questions (b) can be easily reported to SO for plagiarism (c) make no $$ for the poster, reducing the incentive to plagiarize

I don't think anyone claims that there were no problems in Iran under the Shah. Or in the US for that matter. FWIW, every single person I talked to who lived in Tehran during the Shah said it was great. However, I know It's a bias
