My apologies, I didn't want to sound patronizing and wasn't making assumptions about your work and experience based on your examples, I am happy that generative AI allows you to make such apps. However, they are very similar to th

In the JVM projects, I use Karate for integration tests: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate It gives you full control of constructing requests and assertions because test scenarios may include arbitrary JavaScript.

It really depends on the context, e.g. if you need texts for a database of word frequencies, then the answer is a clear "yes", and LLMs have already ruined everything [1]. The only exception from your list would be OCR where a hum

As a mathematician, I think it is very hard to write popular expositions of mathematics. It is acceptable and even necessary to skip the technical details and replace rigorous definitions with intuitive explanations, but it should be done w

Modern browsers are not an issue here, e.g. chromium allows 2MB; the issue is with web server's limits.

This probably depends on the label and artist, Spotify is also missing lots of stuff. Just wanted to clarify that YouTube Music is not monetizing on old user uploads. Yes, YouTube still has tons of uploads of varying quality by normal users

I perfectly understand you from the beginning, and I still think that the blog post that you mention is nitpicking on a minor detail. I mentioned the paper by Rice (that is indeed elementary) as an example of someone citing Turing without m

I skimmed through the page that you linked and I am familiar with computability. When defining "computable reals", Turing defines a subset of real numbers, the only flaw is that he doesn't prove that this subset is closed und

by a57721 2y ago
Turing's definition of computable reals can't be wrong, because listing decimal digits is equivalent to giving rational approximations. The problem here is a confusion between real numbers and Turing machines that compute them.

Nowadays YouTube Music has separate accounts for artists, the music is uploaded through the same mechanisms as to any other streaming platform (by big labels or digital distributors), it does not rely on users uploading videos with music.

Yes, they are not dropping scripts completely, at least because of Gradle, but they are removing some parts of scripting support and advise against using Kotlin for scripting. And I would prefer a true command line REPL instead of the noteb

I think many bird recordings are made to showcase songs of different species, it would be more relaxing to listen to field recordings that capture the whole soundscape.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, especially in code; apart from adding unnecessary confusion for the reader, this will also confuse some monospaced fonts.

No, I wasn't suggesting that Rust is better for prototyping, the only thing I said is that Kotlin and Rust (that you mentioned yourself) are better than JavaScript because they were designed much later and more thoroughly. TypeScript i
