MacBooks are at least ok+ for every conceivable regular office worker (including programmers) use case. Windows and Linux have their respective strengths, but their main issue is being almost completely unusable in certain use cases.

Most important feature imo: The effective "password" being sent over the wire is essentially some hash(secret, uri). Think about the consequences for phishing!

I care about my time on battery being cut by 90%. I am in no way above writing GUIs with web tech, but it's very noticably suboptimal for the UX.

ADA unfortunately doesn't have the authority to decide what constitutes a good argument or not. That being said, they do have the authority to enforce rules that exist in spite of the excellent arguments against them.

In what world is cost not a good argument? In fact, assume cost is not a good argument – then why should it even be legal to compile programs that aren’t universally accessible? It’s always beneficial, and just a matter of cost after all. O

You can't just assert that it makes sense when answering why it makes sense. If you are right, then the owner is losing out on money by operating a car wash, which by the way is their moral and legal right. If you think you can provide

There is a big difference in how the browser treats the information, depending on how you provide it. Secrets in URLs leak more easily.

Property rights. In theory you can use your nuke as much as you'd like. The problem in practice is that it is impossible to use a nuke without negatively affecting other people and /or their property. There's also the quest

If you devalue a currency by 1/10 and everything else is equal, then everything will cost 10/9 more measured in that currency.

The set of models we're discussing haven't. You were derailing with "reason" for no reason, so I pointed it out. That doesn't mean logic should be applied as some sort of universal standard.

by kriops 3y ago
Doesn't need answering. All we need to know is that reason requires logic. LLMs do not employ logic, thus they are not able to reason. They sometimes act as if reasonable by happenstance, but fundamentally they are not.

That’s a strawman if I ever saw one. Apple is morally entitled to licence their products however they’d like, because property rights. If you don’t like it, then nobody is forcing you to give them your business.

How do you suppose one should aggregate the contributions from all the different stakeholders? I don’t think you can.

Your supposition that they fail to uphold the common good is unsubstantiated (and arguably must be, because it is arguably wrong.). And arguably a corporation can neither be moral nor immoral, as only its individual stakeholders are moral a

The probability is exactly 0, because the article is vague humbug. As for playing God, that is more or less the definition of having a consciousness.

Can you elaborate on why you describe 10^241 as non-physical? Just because it's too large to describe anything physical? Anyhow, Aristotle had another take on the problem of universals, and taking his view that every concept abstract o

Scandinavian unions are incredibly naive financially speaking, and entirely lack a basic understanding of capital markets on an organizational level - including their relationship with the question of what constitutes fair compensation. The

Based on my personal experience with Scandinavian unions (I was an unorganized employee in a chain in which some stores had a push for unionization), these “fact checks” should be taken with a huge grain of salt. The math often aint mathin.

Try moving file explorer windows with your display set to different refresh rates. “Blur” might be an incorrect description, but it’s how I would describe it at least.

It's like playing in black and white, kind of. But yes 50 FPS is completely fine if you have not gotten used to better. Also helps if the game doesn't rely on high levels of detail (which Skylines, unfortunately, does), so that mo

Linux and git were examples I was thinking of. He could still have made them, but most of their value relies on interactions with commercial offerings. Not to mention technology financed on the back of taxed profits. And their availability

"(...) nursery rhyme (...)" is a nice way of not addressing what was said. Good for you. Yes, a lot of discoveries (not "most innovation", but besides the point!) happens at Universities. But so what? Universities are ei

I don't disagree, but I want to expand upon your point in a cautionary direction: Using OIDC/OAuth2 does prevent you from making several classes of rudimentary mistakes, entirely for free. The nonces and whitelists aren't the

That is just an outright lie. Even most of the open source stuff I'm going to assume you are thinking of could never have existed without adjecent profit-driven ecosystems. Profit drives innovation, and more importantly makes technolog

I describe various tree search algorithms as "thinking" all the time. It's a figure of speech. But of course, what LLMs are doing wouldn't pass for thinking in a human being.

You should read the Declaration of Independence :) It is a right to live and settle wherever you please. In practice YMMV depending on different states’ ability to recognize rights, however. And yes, the Declaration of Independence isn’t
