Your comment still reads like watts are energy, which they are not. Maybe you mean "watt-days instead of joules". Watts/day is nonsense, and joules/day are watts. (With some coefficient)

That's so obviously false. There are wikipedia pages about products, and they are not ads, either by definition or extension or induction or by anything. You don't know what "ad" means. Maybe look up the actual definitio

Do you understand why the Cambridge Analytica scandal was a scandal? Advertisers target you in their interest, not yours.

Romainan courts say all kinds of things, many of them patently false. It's absurd to claim that since romanian courts say something, it must be true. It's absurd in principle, because there's nothing in the concept of a court

Presumably the requirements for public companies to disclose stuff and generally follow all kinds of rules were somehow for the health of the markets or something like that. I wonder how the markets will fare with the rules neutered. To be

I'm guessing nobody chooses to work with Oracle anymore for reasons or in situations that we would consider reasonable. It's probably either governments contracts, with or without corruption, companies already locked in, contracts

All the while programmers are not engineers but craftsmen, because... we don't use slide rules or something.

It's not inevitable by any means. There's definitely a way to build buildings so that at any point they are as resistant to earthquakes as they will be at the end. Actually I think it would take special effort to make it so it&#x2

That's assuming otherwise zero growth, or other nations standing still or stuff like that. Also, 10 years of constant 5% growth is a lot to ask for in general. Maybe not impossible, but really hard. Now, think that you need to have 5%

Given a certain place, somewhere in rural China or Congo or wherever, how sure are we it is the case that you can't do anything without the state ID? I for one have no clue. Maybe the reality on the ground is quite different than the t

Often the way they attepmt to manage 100 people is to split the monolith into a distributed monolith. Now you have all the same problems plus some new ones, but hey, we're "managing" the human problem. And considering they so

I like that the EU forces Apple to be more open. If you don't, just don't come to Europe.

The fact that violations happened is clear proof that violations can happen. You asked how RH could do front running when it's illegal - the same way they could and did violate customer protections when it is illegal.

Let's assume you are right. If two parties trade a large amount of shares at the public price, how is HFT going to interfere if the trade took place in public?

As usual, arguments for LLMs are based on rosy assumptions about future trajectory. How about we talk about data extraction at that point in the future when models are already cheap enough. And in the meantime just assume the future is unce

You're using a different, not hosted anymore package, three times a week ? That's somewhere between very unusual and downright absurd. Yes you can find edge cases with problems. Using this as an argument for "breaks 3 times

In a similar vein, lots of software is Mac-only, but omits to say this anywehere. You just get to the downloads page and see that there are only mac packages. As if nobody ever uses anything else.

No. I had the exact same problem. Feels arrogant. "Of course you already know what this is, how could you not?"

It is "hardest" in a context of the AI actually having a chance. There's no problem asking AI for the blueprints to a working faster-than-light spaceship, only we already know the AI will fail, and the way it fails provides n

I really don't understand the subtitle, and the argument implied, which countless people make. Do they really believe new things can't happen? "This thing has lasted for X years so it can't fail now". Wha...? I mean

Seems like they were able to change their position when faced with enough evidence. Does not seem like the other side can. Also, you know, literally "what about"-ism.

No, no it does not. Are you actually claiming with a straight face that not a single human can check for fraud or incorrect logic? Let's just claim any absurd thing in defense of the AI hype now.

I don't know. If my doctor tells me I need to take a certain pill to get better when I am sick, I don't grapple with the lack of free will. I really don't want to take my chances by choosing medications myself. What would be

It makes me think people can write things on the keyboard without the need for the things to make any sense. Which is of course nothing new, but it does make me remember it.

Java TreeMap is thread unsafe. The business logic is thread unsafe because it uses a TreeMap concurrently. It should either use something else or lock around all usages of the TreeMap. It does not seem to be "in itself" wrong, mea
