Privacy (or maybe, more precisely, anonymity) was a temporary side-effect of the industrial revolution and the move to cities. We didn't have it in villages, and we won't have it in the global village. (Not an original idea, but I

It's a good analogy because the key development does seem to have been the interface. Instead of wrapping it up as a text autocomplete (a la google search), openai wrapped it up as an IM client, and we were off to the races.

My assumption is that it would. Steam-bent wood stays bent once it cools and the lignin sets. It's a lot like thermoforming plastic. There's another advantage of putting wood through a heating-and-cooling cycle: you remove inter

I suppose if you've got a hypothesis about how it was written (eg the Cardan grille method) you could generate some texts via that method and see if they display the same characteristics?

That's how you ossify.

"I think callTheExactMethodINeed() was a hallucination. Can you try again?" Then it apologizes and gives the right answer. It's weird. We really need a new work for what they're doing, 'cos it ain't thinking.

You already have oodles of qualified applicants. I guess what you're trying to say is that you don't consider it a problem if the hiring process is biased towards one group.

You have many qualified applicants. Your hiring process is biased, and lets more green people through than blue people. Your task is to fix your process so the proportions of green and blue are closer to those of the general population. How

> Calling the library non-confucianist would be even more correct as Platonists are an important foundation for Christian thought. Epicureans aren't Platonists. We know that the library went heavy on Epicurean texts. The word "

I've played around with "create an image based on this image" chains quite a lot, and yep, everything goes brown with 4o. You append the images to each other as a filmstrip and it's almost like a gradient. They also simp

Or buildings? Or mammals? Or Chordata? I don't think this is a well thought out argument.

Reputation is, IMO, the key. And not just for code, but for natural language too. We're going to have to get used to publication being more important than authorship: I published this, therefore I stand behind every word of it. It migh

This human quite likes having everything on one page, to be honest. And not having a leaky ORM layer between me and the SQL.

Our current architectures are complex, mostly because of DRY and a natural human tendency to abstract things. But that's a decision, not a fundamental property of code. At core, most web stuff is "take it out of the database, put

There's also the fact that more data == better recommedations. Even if people wanted your standalone app, they're not going to sit and enter the kind of rich data a decent recommendation engine needs. It really has to be a tool th

I dunno if that many Nobel prizes are being awarded to people working for private companies. But yes, you're right, a government monopoly where there isn't a natural monopoly isn't a good plan. Funding a whole bunch of small

Yes. If you want your vendors to interop with each other in any way, it's the same n^2 lines of communication problem you have in dev teams. In fact, it's worse, because the vendors are antagonistic towards each other - it's

Nah, I played it in the 90s. £2 per game, I think. That arcade was also the first place I got to try a VR headset. It had a full scale Ridge Racer too. Looking back, somebody there was quite invested in trying new things.

Yup. The word I should have used is "triage".

Not really. It allows you to order your cases from most-likely to least-likely, and get human eyeballs on the most-likely cases first.
