It think it mainly depends on the difficulty of the problem. If you're working on a very difficult math problem - say, a novel proof - you're definitely going to lay out the tools and techniques, the various steps of the proof, be

Apple's Mx chip has an instruction to enable TSO, which Rosetta uses when running x86 code. I don't believe it uses TSO when running native ARM code, but I could be mistaken.

You use the hypotheses to make predictions and design experiments. Then you carry those out and see if they support the hypothesis. Or is this one of those rhetorical questions?

You can retire or quit, like a normal person. I'm sure you can find a new CEO.

No, the judge would not be okay with that. In the same way, shredding all your incriminating legal documents into a fun jigsaw puzzle for the cops to put together is also illegal.

Mountains exist, but that doesn't mean we'll ever build a structure the size of Everest.

Sturgeon's law says 90% of everything is crap. If AI pushes that up to 98%, that means you have to look through 5 times as much crap to get the good stuff.

It seems like 60 outbreaks over 25 years really isn't that many, with 10K illnesses and 0 reported deaths. As a comparison, every year in the US, over 20,000 children are hospitalized due to the flu, and over a hundred die. I know the

Probably not billions. Each person (at a 40-hour workweek) works about 2000 hours a year. V8 has been around for about 16 years. 1 billion hours would mean (1 billion / (16*2000)) = 31,250 people full-time on V8 optimization. A google

Wouldn't you have a lot more than one gigabit connection? I'm struggling to imagine the 1000-node cluster layout that sends all intra-cluster traffic through a single cable.

Most of the people who seem to be fans of AI-generated art are fans of AI, not of art. Maybe it'll get to the point where it's good enough to have on as background television - not everything needs to be great, after all - but wha

If I recall correctly, that was about the time that Google started demoing its generative AI "deepmind" - a particular demo of a frog comes to mind. The commonality of AI content has certainly increased since then, I didn't m

An interesting example. It may be because I consider myself a fan of animation (moreso than the average person), but the video has obvious garbage less than fifteen seconds in, with the spaceships (?) morphing and sludging around the pyrami

I didn't say that? It is foul and unpleasant to behold, based on my experience of viewing it repeatedly over the last 5+ years. It would be nice if you didn't assume that anybody who doesn't share your opinion is mindlessly r

Some people would say that the fortunate authors have already benefitted society, and that the potential of winning this lottery ticket was part of their incentive to do so. We could equally ask "does it benefit society to enrich tech

Unlikely. Generative AI is foul and unpleasant to perceive.

Even if that were the law, you could disconnect the cameras or cover the lens.

Yes, that's correct.

You can design to minimize P, though. For instance, if you have all the services running on the same physical box, and make people enter the room to use it instead of over the Internet, "partition" becomes much less likely. (This

It would form a gaussian distribution if you pick the questions carefully enough. If you rank-order scores and fit to the distribution after the fact, the questions are nearly irrelevant, as long as you have a mix of easy, medium and hard q

Code is an asset in the same way that any process documents in your organization are. They represent codified solutions to problems. You do not need to re-solve this problem, and when a similar problem occurs, you can adapt the existing sol

My nit is that we don't actually have evidence supporting the idea that it stops at or around 25. As far as I know, the brain continues to have observable changes throughout your life. (The person I replied to didn't make this cla

I feel like it's a totally different scenario. In usual times, you can afford to innovate - trade some risk for potential improvement. In disasters, you want to follow the established procedure, to minimize risk in an already confusing

Nit-pick: the meme about people's prefrontal-cortex not being fully developed until age 25 is not true. What is true is that there was a longitudinal study that found that people's brains continued to change under MRI as far as th

pv also allows this, but you have to look up the process id manually, and pass it to the -d flag.
