I think it's like this in the UK, you are required to either admit to it or inform the police who was driving at the time. For speeding there's a website where you can view photos and a certificate showing the equipment was calibr

It sounds like they might be under the impression that having any AI-generated output in the code even if parts are human authored would invalidate the copyright, which isn’t true

I guess I was thinking more when it involves rewriting large parts of it because they don't work

I doubt that much software is entirely AI-generated with no human review or testing, it’s probably more like integrating some public domain snippets you found online into your code (which doesn’t invalidate copyright on the rest of it, or t

Setting aside the privacy implications (which are obviously very important), it’s like saying “I searched my filesystem and it went through 1,000,000 files. I found the file but it was 99.999999% ineffective” so yes, that’s not a valid metr

You can use selectors to gain some information about things like input fields, e.g. https://www.invicti.com/blog/web-security/private-data-stole... Or I guess you could completely restyle and change the text of UI

How do you know? Some of the text has a slightly LLM-ish flavour to it (e.g. the numbered lists) but other than that I don’t see any solid evidence of that Edit: I looked into it a bit and things seems to check out, this person has scuba di

Here’s a video called “Is AI safety a Pascal’s Mugging?”: https://youtu.be/JRuNA2eK7w0 I haven’t watched it back but from what I remember the main point of the video is that kind of situation happens when the probability in

The commenter was being sarcastic about trains I think, but while we should be using public transport where possible there is sometimes a need for door-to-door transport so I don't see why we can't explore new ideas that may combi

I would assume that unsticking it requires forcing it to do maneuvers that it would otherwise refuse to do (or it would just unstick itself), so you'd need some knowledge of laws to do that

As people have said it’s not making requests to web store, that’s just part of this repository looking for what extensions it’s blocking via nodejs Browsers already have strong protections against that sort of thing, look up the same-origin

Unless an exception is made these types of laws only make things much harder for small communities, since they can’t afford to implement the required measures and take on the legal liability. The result will be that everyone moves to larger

Personally I joined Discord servers for open source projects and this is how I got my start using GitHub, learning how code review worked and the process for communicating with other devs etc. I feel like I may not be in a software developm

I worry that these measures (if they actually work, which is unlikely) will isolate people who struggle with real-life interactions. I remember reading somewhere that autistic people tend to find community in online spaces, and it seems lik

It’s already possible to make WhatsApp bots, if the API was official they could moderate it better if anything so I don’t see how it would help with spam

Surely less people will do that if they get fined for it?

This is like saying "HTML, CSS and JavaScript are all widely used, but the webcam capture API is used way less, so obviously it's a failure" In its current scope, WASM is a way to port existing code or accelerate certain comp

A few months ago someone wrote a much faster -O0 backend for LLVM, though it seems it didn't get much attention upstream: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/tpde-llvm-10-20x-faster-llvm-o0... Discussion: https:/&#

Wow, I had never heard of that ID -> variable feature

But WASM already exists and has many languages that are able to compile to it, why reinvent the wheel?

That’s a highly simplified, non-technical definition for people who aren’t necessarily computer literate. Compressing it to a single sentence will leave out important details about the word’s usage On the topic of descriptivism/prescri

In my experience the common and accepted definition generally matches with the one the OSI uses, people generally use “shared source” or something to refer to things that don’t fit that

I guess you mean offical legal documents or something, but your sentence doesn't say that or mention those so it comes across in a very confusing way (it implies that using Word is illegal because every time you type something you alte
