Yes, preserving correctness seems like a good metric. My immediate reaction was to think that the parent comment was saying they’d like to see this comparison because AI will come out ahead. On this metric and based on current AI coding it’

As someone that has only dabbled in C++ over the past 10 years or so, it feels like each new release has this messaging of “you have to think of it as a totally new language”. It makes C++ very unapproachable.

This phrase comes up alot in mindfulness and self-esteem related writings. I interpret it to mean that you don't have to do anything to justify your existence on the planet or prove your worth. I agree with this. But the phrasing of &q

I wholeheartedly agree with the point of the article, but the phrase “You are enough” really grinds my gears for some reason. Enough for what?

It’s careless of me to say it’s a definition of intelligence, but I do think that property of being able to improve how you learn and how quickly you learn (especially in response to adversaries doing the same thing) is a clear indicator of

That is not getting better at learning. That’s repeatedly re-learning in the same way.
