What else could you have? Whatever you are building, you will always have some primitives and ways of combining them and that's practically it. To make things more manageable, you start abstracting, give names to things and refer to th

Graphical programming just does not work, it has been tried often enough. As soon as you step beyond toy examples, you need a hierarchical organization, functions calling functions calling functions. How do you represent that graphically? Y

Waymo is already there, in at least 2 cities but not all weather conditions. A few weeks ago I saw a video of someone making his first Waymo ride, there was some construction site and the vehicle stopped and waited for some human to take

Let's say Apple allows sideloading, but it is somewhat tedious and most users choose to stick to the official App Store [...] There is no reason that sideloading is tedious. If it is, then that is a deliberierte choice, going from no

No, I don't. I specifically said that they should not be required to actively support this, write and publish documentation or even provide a SDK. And I said nothing about providing warranty, replacing the operating system could just v

There are always two limits, what producing something costs and how much people value the thing and are therefore willing to pay for it. The actual prize must be somewhere in that range. A thing is a success because the prize is less than w

The cost of distributing an app is not tied to its price, it probably mostly depends on things like size and so should be a reasonable prize.

The economy primarily exists to benefit the consumers, not the producers. With that in mind, I should be able to run any operating system on an iPhone I bought. Apple should not be required to actively support this, put in extra work to doc

This would also have been my opinion, computer science graduates should definitely be able to solve those problems in a few hours. The longest time to first solution this is year was something like 15 minutes, an hour or two for 100 correct

The claim was that all computer science graduates should be able to solve those problems in a few hours each, the counter claim was that only one percent of them is capable to do so. The existence of one computer science graduates capable o

Then somebody could maybe just copy and paste two, three of the failed problems into ChatGPT Plus and ask for some code solving the problems? Should only take a hand full minutes.

Nothing will change the fact that the people participating in this challenge are not a representative sample of computer science graduates, hence an evaluation of their performance will not really tell much about what kind of performance on

I know nothing about that guy, but several commenters point out that debating here does not mean making correct arguments but only making convincing arguments. If that is the case, why would anybody care? I can imagine a few situations wher

My guess is that this is 63 'modules', rather than 63 different isotopes? My first guess was element 63, so an europium isotope, but now that you mentioned it, it might also just refer to nickel 63.

Wikipedia says a typical lightning bolt releases 1 GJ, so 10 GW you can have for 100 ms, for 50 µs you can have 20 TW. And most importantly 1.21 GW for the better part of a second, 826 ms to be precise.

I was specifically replying to the following part. A paid actor may look similar to a victim, but not exactly. Their image will evoke a totally different emotion from the victim's friends and family. In that specific case the digital

The generated girl was white, the actual victim black. Also - after skimming another article - it seems that the child was killed with a knife first and only then was the body put into the oven, maybe in the hope to get rid of the body. Thi

An autoregressive transformer is trivially a finite state machine with the state being the k input tokens. The state update just discards the leftmost token of the context and adds the predicted token to the right. It is somewhat tempting t

I played quite a bit with vertex three coloring in the past and it has a surprisingly sharp phase transition. If you randomly generate graphs by including each possible edge with probability p, then the graph will have average degree p×n. D

Not sure what exactly ancient wiring implies but at 120 V this thing will draw 83 A to deliver 10 kW. CORRECTION: It only draws 15 A at 120 V, the remaining power comes from the 3 kWh battery. So you have 22 minutes of 10 kW until the batte

This should be doable. On each access append the key to a list of recent keys which would also not be terrible expensive if the keys are much smaller than the values. Ever so often you can then look through the list of recent keys and analy

SVG also has functions for hit testing [1][2] but I have no experience or at least memories of using them. So no idea if they could be useful and performant enough. But given that interactive SVGs might require finding the object under the
