They could just buy insurance. You know, like doctors, lawyers, and a wide variety of other professionals that deal with liabilities in their field. Regardless, the police get sued all the time anyways. It's just that the burden curren

I think you would find that they would make far fewer illegal mistakes if they actually had to deal with the consequences of those mistakes. Qualified Immunity didn't exist as a concept until the 1960s, and it was put in place to shiel

Maybe they saw the roving bands of masked militants roaming the streets and grabbing people without warrants with their own eyes like I did.

Qualified Immunity should not apply ever. Period. No one should be above the law for any reason ever.

That's great! There's nothing wrong with that. However, "semantic elements" became popular shortly after the push for the "semantic web" which was entirely based around making the web easier to process for mach

Exactly! It cracks me up when people name-check "semantic elements" when it doesn't actually mean anything in that context. Accessibility software doesn't understand the semantics of your custom elements, so there is no

Every markdown implementation is supposed to allow inline HTML.

OpenAI literally wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Google's work in the space.

You were talking about your personal experience, were you not? How can I avoid Ad Hominem when we are literally talking about you? I definitely could have phrased my question better, but I genuinely don't understand why you think that

This was not the experience of the health professionals that I know, but I will take your word for it.

Which part of my post judged the practices? I just want to understand the other user's motivation for complaining because my experience was the polar opposite. I am related to several health professionals, and none of them ever complai

Buddy... Are you a doctor? Are you a scientist? Why do you think that you have an inalienable right to proselytize your "health practices" on a public forum? My experience was that there wasn't nearly enough moderation on soc

You search for a term and then you watch videos until you're satisfied. I don't think it's a very good way to learn about a topic, but millions of people seem to disagree with me. It makes more sense when you remember that 21

This is absolutely a tragedy. Dr. Rauschmayer's work is unparalleled in detail and accuracy, and the JavaScript community is worse without it freely available. I completely understand his reasoning. It just makes me sad.

The neat thing about HTML is that it's a living standard and anyone can contribute. Old bugs get corrected all the time simply because it annoyed a certain person enough for them to push a fix through the standards process. Unfortunate

Fair enough. I didn't say anything about a "final call". It just feels like there is a middle ground between that and telling people they are overreacting.

Yeah, but he obviously had enough confidence in this project to keep the agents working at it, didn't he? Given infinite time and money, if you prompt an LLM about something enough times, it will eventually work. Insert something abou

That's why I said "the equivalent of". Additionally, time and cognitive effort are not free. The work spent on this branch was work that was not spent on other branches. Does that make sense?

Yeah, I still find Opus to be pretty unreliable once you get past around 150K tokens, so I usually run a custom hand-off command at that point that extracts specific elements to specialized documents. The command contains a "Documentat

Honestly, I fully support the rewrite to Rust, but he should have just owned this from the start. I'm sure he knew in the back of his mind how dedicated he was to that branch as he had already spent the equivalent of thousands of dolla

I thought they were just bolstering the refutation of TFA's assertion that XHTML is strictly better because of its parsing algorithm.

I'm not GP, but I would want a benchmark that actually tests the entire context window. A benchmark that only tests the first 128K tokens effectively tells us nothing about how well it works at its full capacity.

It's very common, but (like most things with LLMs) it's not as deterministic as you might imagine. A common technique for agents is to have them create a "handoff" document (usually markdown) that summarizes the previous

*I* believe in the rule of law, but I don't think it's actively being enforced in the country that I love. I won't pretend that America has ever been the place that we pretend to be, but there have always been people who beli

Sorry, but I'm actually a bit of a patriot who cares about his country, so I don't want to run away when it is being dismantled by thugs. Why shouldn't it be the criminal billionaires and politicians that move? They're t

I mean, there are three options that I see. We vote them out peacefully, we end up in a long-term horrific dystopian society, or we overthrow them violently. I'm doing everything I can to make sure that the first option becomes reality

I'm willing to bet that it's just for telemetry, but this kind of stuff just lends credence to the crazies claiming Google wants to create some kind of absurd botnet with people's devices.

Yes, reading this back, I definitely veered off-topic. I apologize. I still don't think that you can say how much time it will take to review code based on how many lines of code are involved, but my argument was not well crafted. I ju
