The thing is that both ideas come from the same place. People try to create a save and livable place, but they have different opinions on how to get to that place. Some more right than others, but the fact is that both have their root in th

What is the argument for it being too high? The argument for it being what it is is the fact that our auditorial processing (when using a starter pistol) or visual processing (looking at start-lights) takes time, as well as transferring th

I think Mozilla is doing a great job. I really don't get the comments that they should not focus on anything else than the current browser. If other browsers start adding llms, I bet those same people will start complaining that Firefo

well yeah but it's un-obviously a very big difference that basically invalidates any conclusion that you can make with this comparison.

That's a stupid analogy because you're comparing a brainprocess to a full animal. Only a small part of that 60kcal is used for learning, and for that same 60 kcal you get an actual physical being that is able to procreate, eat, do

A little nitpick; a biological neuron is much more complex than it's ml-model equivalent. a simple weighted function cannot fully replicate a neuron. That's why it's almost certain that a biological brain with a billion synap

I think this actually shows the exact opposite. That is like saying the existence of cargo trucks, pick-ups, minivans, campers, and rv's shows that the underlying 'internal combustion engine' technology is flawed. I think it

The pipe operator just flips the order of execution. In my experience this doesn't really impact debugging at all. without the pipe operator you would write ` fun1(fun2(fun3(fun4(fun5(x, y), z, w), u), v)) ` The order of operations in

Syntactic sugar is such a broad and vague term that those features you mentioned could also technically be considered syntactic sugar. Instead of having to write harder longer code you can write easier and less code.

Exactly. It also massively improves readability by reordering the code to match the order of operations. Also long nested chains of function calls make it so the arguments for each call get spread out, so your eyes have to go back and forth
