Personally, I find the cyber security act to be a difficult topic. I generally agree that there should be some form of liability for software, but the list of cases I can imagine make it difficult to decide on the criteria. Most of the prop

What form of "AI" are you looking to avoid? Do you want to avoid the company engaging with AI? (Maybe because you don't want your searches being used as training.) Do you want to avoid LLMs answering your search? I have not s

The thing I dislike about many maths problems (including many proposed in this thread) is taking the wrong initial approach can make it take forever. Finding the right trick to solve something can feel enlightening, but in my experience it

It is so interesting to me seeing how everyone utilizes those large language models. I often wonder how they do it. I tried to get something usable out of ChatGPT now and then, but the code is littered with misunderstandings of the data for

Huh, this is a really nice writeup of the logical time part of the foundations of distributed systems lecture I used to assist in. I always wondered how much they are actually used in real systems.

My experience with leetcode at least is, you can just access the forum of the given task to look at solutions (and explanations) by other people. So for anything other than challenging yourself, it is already obsolete without additional too

You could also google your hackerrank task on the second computer. Which, I assume, is the primary motivation for "no alt tabbing" to begin with.

As I said, I think it is okay for authors to make any request they want, it is their software after all. But I still think making citation for gnu parallel is unreasonable. There is a huge body of software, of which gnu parallel is probably

This was quite interesting to look through! Perl 5.8.0 is over 20 years old ( https://dev.perl.org/perl5/news/2002/07/18/580ann/ ) while centOS 3.9 was released in 2007! At the same time it seems

I wonder if the set of undescribable numbers is well defined at all. It seems to run into the same problem as the "minimum un-interesting number is interesting" as a function chosing a number from that set would be a finite descri

Your argument seems to be that punishment only exists on an absolute scale (or relative to the overall population, not relative to the individual). Am I understanding it correctly? If so, I heavily disagree and hold the opposite opinion: Pu

I find this notion rather unconvincing. To me, there is a huge difference between acknowloging that humans produce terrible stuff and training an AI to produce more of it. Humanity has improved thanks to our desire to go beyond the worst as
