> The issue is that you shouldn't be looking for substrings in the first place. Why? They clearly just want to log conversations that are likely to display extreme user frustration with minimal overhead. They could do a full-blown

They're searching for multiple substrings in a single pass, regexes are the optimal solution for that.

But those are numerals. Made-up numerals, but still. A friend of mine once prototyped a clock that would make a full walk along a loop in the RGB color space every 24 hours. That's closer to what I would call a "clock with no nume

Bandwidth and compute constraints make websites all but an endless stream though.

Well again, definitionally they are. But life is all about losing out on this or that, so.

My problem with that problem is that, well, people who have kids definitionally know (better?) about having them. Like being able to experience a book in its original version vs a translation. It's okay if you don't want to learn

The PDF formatting is all but standardised. They ingest LaTeX sources, which is formatted according to the authors' whims (most likely, according to whatever journal or conference they just submitted the manuscript to). I'll conce

The concerns with giving the machine "a personality" or other human traits are mainly ethical, and cannot be swept under the "good engineering" rug so easily. Consider this: your country starts basing its policy on a tel

Good question! It's a bit of a stretch. BEAM has mailboxes, non-blocking sends, and asynchronous handling of messages, whereas the original CSP is based on blocking sends and symmetric channels. Symmetric means you have no real differe

You can't explicitly allocate cache, but you can lay things out in memory to minimize cache misses.

They believe so because we have spent decades using the term AI for another category of symbolic methods (search-based chess engines, theorem provers, planners). In the areas where they were successful, these methods _were_ infallible (of c

The fact is, in search you get one single result and (unless you're extremely gullible) that raises some red flags. But chatbots will give you an answer + a reference and never mention *how many* references for their answer are there o

Well not exactly. An internship is a temporary position, which people mostly just take to improve a CV at an early career stage, or as a fallback after being laid off. A "minimum wage job" is... A job.

by lou1306 8mo ago
Then why companies aren't offering minimum-wage SWE-1 jobs already? Could it be that the output of an AI tool still needs a modicum of skill and craft to evaluate?

They might manage to pin it all on Alan Dye, who recently jumped ship to Meta.

That's commendable, but unfortunately I asked GP.

If you are so adamant about this, why don't you release all your own code in the public domain? Aren't you gatekeeping knowledge too?

The first three things are, in this order: collaborative editing, collaborative editing, collaborative editing. Seriously, this cannot be understated. Then: The LaTeX distribution is always up-to-date; you can run it on limited resources;

Yes, because it's silly to pay for things that effectively won't belong to them anymore if they move/get kicked out.

As soon as you forget (or your adversary manages to delete) an \0 at the end of any string, you may induce buffer overflows, get the application to leak secrets, and so on. Several standard library functions related to strings are prone to

And on most Lumias, if your phone got scratched, lost its shine, or you just got tired of the color, you could just walk to the store and get a new "shell".

The other difference is that those 2 tons were the pinnacle of applied science at that time (heck in some way they are still pretty close to the _current_ pinnacle) and required the combined effort of hundreds of world-class scientists and

I am not that surprised, to be honest. Basically every C/C++ static analyzer out there does (among other things) some amount of additional "custom" type checking to catch operations that are legal up to the standard, but may

Can someone give a strong rationale for a separate built-in class? Because "it prevents any unintended modifications" is a bit weak. If you have fixed keys, a frozen dataclass will do. If you don't, you can always start with
