This is nonsense. Diversity isn't just how you look or who you are attracted to. When tolerance is only for people who agree with you, or who don't disagree too far, it's bullshit. They even get to the root of the issue, whic

I don't mean to implement security libraries myself. The problem is I don't even know what kinds of things to find libraries for.

If I have a simple side project, and can't afford to hire someone else to secure it, but still want to follow best practices, where can I learn them? Books? Courses? Anything anyone here recommends?

Don't worry. It's not you, it's an anonymous person who leaves your house every morning and comes back after working in the same place you do. Nobody could ever associate that with you.

Here's an interesting problem I hadn't thought about before. Teslas are expensive and rich people drive in different places than poor people, so teslas will have more data about places rich people go. That's another interesti

If haskell is that much harder, it should benefit from better tooling that much more. I think there really is a big difference in the priorities. I've never played around with GHC, so I have no idea how hard tooling is, but I know some

FYI about your edit: You aren't being downvoted because of "knee-jerk culture war" or because people here are too dumb to understand your enlightened view of epistemology. Your original comment is an incredibly unique view wi

I don't know. I love haskell, but it fits the bill of a language so hard to learn that people need tools to help in the beginning. Yet haskell tooling isn't that great. I'd guess that it's a question of priorities.

Are you trying to argue that taxes are inherently bad or something? How should we pay for roads, bridges, schools, and all that?

I guess I should have been more specific. I meant sorta convincingly emulating intelligence versus fully meeting some other definition. Is a turing test enough?

Specialized AI is all about X,Y pairs. Given X, predict Y. There are other problems it's good at too, like given X, choose a Y to optimize Z, but at it's core it's largely the same. On the fringes, you have stuff about explor

Like they say in the article, there's general AI (think sci-fi computers with minds) and specialized AI (think good old fashioned statistical models, but applied to more things and super effective). Specialized AI (and I hate calling i

Sure. I think that law enforcement is necessarily there to keep us from doing things. That is enough for me to think it's not necessarily the same as benevolence. At the risk of flying my ultra-nerd flag, it's like the lawful-chao

I would really, really appreciate if you would elaborate on this. Security seems to have the most unspoken community knowledge of anything I need to know.

Back in school, the harder proof based math courses were a big change for me. They took a while to get the hang of and even more years to really appreciate. Stick with it and you can get good at it. It's not innate.

If it's like the comment algo, it seems to take time into account. Brand new stuff has a short boost.
