Would you trust more an intern consulting 10 lawyers about your case instead of any single lawyer? Assuming a world where AI has surprassed human ability to make a case, having a human component would just make it worse.

If it could build a case better than a human, you would. But currently it's nowhere close to that

Also, in a further iteration, people could upvote and downvote results, or even parts of it, so that it learns what it knows and what it doesn't. If it just say "I don't know" for bad results or omit the bad parts, it wo

Making a gpt query on every search I'd say that's indeed unlikely. Luckily, most queries are repeated, so caching can work very well. There are many opportunities there, gpt could potentially be used for common queries to expand t

Being infected with malware is, hopefully, a rare event. I think it's reasonable to alert the user they've got it, even a non techy user knows roughly what those are. If they know about it they may have an idea of how they got it

Exactly, that's the criticism. Many find exceptions better than explicitly handling errors, even when you just want to propagate them.

To be fair, most of popular and important algorithms and tools in our daily lives are likely even older than that. Arithmetic takes you a very long way. RSA is quite mathematically sophisticated (and recent) next to most of the algorithms w

That's not a particularly nice implementation of exceptions and all libraries treat panics as invariant checks, things that should never happen. So, if you want to treat expected errors (eg. file not found) using panic you simple won&#

There is a difference. People are far less likely to go themselves, so that may be manageable by the restaurant. The app brings a lot more orders in. The restaurant possibly solved the problem by telling the delivery platform. If they sudde

The only way to do it in go is to always handle errors, even if you just want to pass them through. It’s one of the downsides of the language. My recommended way is to use a language with exceptions. They have downsides too, of course. It’s

I once interviewed someone who was "proficient in dart, go and nim", but I was puzzled when they said they never wrote a computer program in their life.

To the second point: I think the issue is that you don't want to handle the errors in a function, but just propagate it, you still need to write error handling code, whereas in languages with exceptions you can just not do anything and

The GC may copy data around, though. So, when you scramble the data there may be already be copies of the previous value in memory. I think that's the biggest drawback.

Python has `gc.collect` which should work for user created types. Besides, it does have a reference counting GC. So, as long as you don't create cycles, you should be able to force the collection of objects similarly to C++'s shar

You don't need to use the String type for your sensitive data, though. You can create your own type that acts the way you want.

One possibility would be to reference a password variable always from t he same thread. But even if you use multiple threads referencing the same memory location, you could make some of them weak references (which the GC doesn't take i

You should be able to know all the references to a variable, if you are careful when writing your program. Also, you could write a destructor that scrambles the memory location before the object is collected. However, you would still not ha

I'm not an specialist, but I suspect the rationale is that you have less control of how the memory is cleaned up after use. In special, the GC can actually copy objects around without the programmer's knowledge, potentially making

That makes no sense. How is defacing art helping fight climate change? How does that reduce emissions or remove CO2 from the atmosphere? It doesn't. Also, it's terrible PR for anyone advocating for people to change behaviour in or
