Did you know there have been literal slave markets in the past? And they still exist today (e.g. in Lybia). Please explain how this is "not universally bad". Actually don't. Spare us your disgusting mental gymnastics that you

There is no moral or philosophical debate to be had here. It's morally wrong to do this and in my opinion that's clear as day. Putting yourself in a dangerous situation and provoking a "self-defense" scenario like that o

What exactly are these benefits beyond weight loss?

But the contest does not ask what needs to happen to achieve even and fair distribution of wealth, it specifically asks what might happen after we reached that point. That kind of blindness towards today's political and socio-economic

By your definition a migrant needs to cross borders and successfully settle on the other site. What do you call the people being forced back or stuck in holding facilities and internation camps then?

You don't happen to have a reliable source for this ludicrous claim?

> In theory the government is hired by sofereign to govern the country to the benefit of the people. This kind of suggests that the people ever sat together and decided on a political system that would benefit them. The reality is that e

Are you claiming that LLMs have an intent beyond producing the statistically most "correct" output? This sounds a bit like you are saying LLMs are conscious.

How would you define high-quality LLM output? How do you differentiate it from LLM slop? I think all LLM output used "as is" for content/entertainment/art is slop.

Funny, I had a similar experience. I wrote a script that enabled players to "call in" mortar support, by looking at the target and selecting a distance. Also using shoddy trigonometry and also one of my earliest programming experi

My impression is that smaller companies, that depend on rapid prototyping to gain clients, exert a lot of pressure onto their devs to use LLMs. At least that's the situation in the companies some friends of mine are working at. I'

No. They cut on maintenance to make line go up. And then they deconstructed existing switches, signal boxes, train lines, and train stations to cut costs even more. This is not an EU problem or a regulations problem or labour cost problem.

Link is paywalled and archive.ph does not work on it. Could you please summarize the argument?

My mistake. I see my oversight now. `Either String String` is not equivalent to `String | String`, but to `Left String | Right String`. The same must be done for the C# version. You are correct that this requires support for disjoint unions

Have you considered trying them out (maybe in F#) to understand why they are so popular in many other languages?

by bertylicious 4mo ago
I think it's almost always about making code more concise and programming more ergonomic. Assembly could already solve all the problems higher-level languages can solve. Yet we didn't discard them as useless.

But you can have an `Either String String` which is what GP was talking about.

by bertylicious 4mo ago
No, it's a union of a left value (that happens to be a string) and a right value (that happens to be a string). But the compiler-generated code can't tell them apart.

I don't think it's a matter of the type of problem and I always found it weird how F# is being framed as being only useful for "math-heavy" problems. What matters is what libraries you are gonna use for your solution. If

What's the company's name? And why the unnecessary secrecy in the first place? It's a publicly traded company so this information is public by definition.

Could you please show us an example of the change made to one of these if statements? I'm curious, because it seems absolutely wild to me to end up in such a situation (where that many changes are required and the usual refactoring too

What about shadows? The UV-C light can't reach everywhere, right? What about the back and undersides of product packaging you want to sterilise?

Interesting. It seems like you're one of those persons that actually believe what Trump and Hegseth are saying regarding the war. Is that so?

If you felt improvements with semiglutide only after many months, how long did the other trials last? It sounds like you went through hundreds of trials. Did they all went on for many months? When did you determine that a drug wasn't e

I'm pretty sure there is no diagnostic test for ME/CFS. What are you referring to? Also I don't understand how semaglutide did help you while you're at the same time part of a minority risk group with a hypersensitivity

I'm sure the other astronauts are really looking forward to fly with a person showing signs of suicidal ideation.
