Even if you want it to crash, you almost never unwrap. At the very least you would use .expect() so you get a reasonable error message -- or even better you handle the potential error.

When people figure out how to make a computer do something that it couldn't do before, that is interesting and impressive. It doesn't need to be useful.

There is a fairly compelling argument that divination in the ancient world was not a useless waste of time, as is commonly assumed, but that having either a process or a person that can make essentially random choices for them allowed peop

Even it AI is better and more cost efficient at doing everything that humans do, there will still be work for humans to do. AI development will focus on stuff that ai is best and most efficient at. There will be many things that AI may be

You are making a legalistic argument to justify absolutely monstrous behavior and you should probably spend some time examining why you are doing that. If the law justifies an atrocity, you should not defend the law.

A "rule of thumb" isn't just guessing. My point is that they weren't accredited members of an engineering organization following established guidelines from regulations. They were figuring it out how to build an airpla

Any definition of engineering which excludes the Wright brothers and James Watt, who _invented the machine that gives the field it's name_ is a fairly poor definition. If you're creating something in a poorly understood situation

Government did not invent the discipline of engineering. This is just completely backwards. How do you think all of those engineering organizations came up with those manuals and regulations, were they not doing any engineering until they

Blackberry made their best profits in 2008, a year after the iPhone was released, with a stock price of around $140 in May of 2008, their all time high. By December of 2008, their stock price was $30, by 2012 -- $7. That FB are making a t

The LLM basically just produces some code that either runs and produces good results or it doesn't. If it produces garbage, that is the end of the line for that branch.

You can make a lot of money on options even if the price doesn't collapse completely. Options dramatically amplify movements of the underlying price. Even if the market swoons a little bit, he can cash out for a big profit, as long a

This is making me wonder if it is actually possible to capture everything that is in blue prince in a text based game, and I think the answer is no, because the affordances are different. I am trying to explain this without spoiling too mu

That 'creative environment' was mostly used for obnoxious advertising by the time flash died.

The problem with flash is that it was a security, performance and usability nightmare for web browsers. Yes the games and videos were cool, but 99% of the usage of Flash was awful ads and UI/UX elements.

You are stating a lot of things as fact that aren't really supported. We don't know this is a bubble, we don't know that there will be a transformer implosion, whatever that means, we don't know that OpenAI would ground

Did the invention of compilers eliminate the need for programmers or make them more productive and valuable? LLM coding is really not in the most abstract sense any different from compiling a higher level language to a lower level language

Gambling online would be a lot less destructive if you had to buy a monthly subscription in advance and when you lose that money you are just done.

by empath75 1y ago
Those people will still gamble if gambling is illegal. Gambling did not start in the 1970s and the primary motivation for making it legal wasn’t revenue it was shutting down revenue streams for organized crime.

I wonder if it is just sort of detecting a weird distribution in the state and that it wouldn’t be able to do it if the idea were conceptually closer to what they were asked about.
