I'd argue that if rape happens in prison, it is because the discipline is not enforced harshly enough. It blows my mind that certain prisons are effectively co-managed with gangs.

On the other hand electronic versions can be copied over and over. If you think about it, we have preserved many ancient text that have been copied again and again, like biblical texts, greek philosophers, etc. Even though the originals are

I am not sure why the downvote. It keeps hypochondriac people away from the medical system by giving them essentially placebos. Everyone is happy.

What I don't get is who will apply the watermark? Certainly not the company running the LLM (why would they degrade the output of a commercial product?). The people submitting text generated by the LLM have no interest to do that. The

Given LLM are only trained on an english dataset, it will give some amusing results if politicians of non-english speaking countries try to do the same!

Am I right to understand that it would be the equivalent of visual studio's wpf designer [1], where you have the WYSIWYG editor side by side with an xml editor and you can make the change in either of them and it translates into the ot

or the danger of photoshop... I think we managed to live with the idea that you can't trust a random photo fairly well. AI is just doing that to audio (which was never very reliable anyway) and video. Which is healthy, people are too t

And to take a measure of the creepiness, you just have to remind yourself what would be the non digital equivalent of what google is doing. You would be followed all day long by a guy who would log in his notebook every move you do, everyth

Stackoverflow is about expert programmer answering questions from novice programmers (it can be novice on a specific tech, not necessarily junior devs). How will chatgpt learn from expert programmers, who don't need chatgpt to code som

Will it? I mean there is stack overflow already. All it is is a better UI for stack overflow.

I remember those days. Even into the late 90s early 2000, modems (including ADSL) didn't come with a router, you had to establish a PPPoE connection from your computer, which also means your home machine was directly on the WAN with no

I never understood what backward compatibility was met by windows api not supporting >260 chars file paths. It will work just in the same was if you pass any short path and no old application expects a long path anyway.

You are probably doing an approximate match which is the default. Always add FALSE as the last argument.

Named ranges are evil except in a limited number of cases (referring to a cell from VBA). If you duplicate a tab or move it to another workbook and you have named ranges, hell starts there.

Not sure what legal precedent it could set. A driver is ultimately responsible for where he drives. “Someone told me to drive into that wall” isn’t going to stand in any court.

ok but that's 12" armour. But doesn't necessarily mean we went to the other extreme, i.e. that a modern military ship has the same hull than a trawler. A quick google search suggests the thickness of an ice breaker hull seems
