It depends on how AI technologies are distributed in society. Let's assume the worst case. A restricted set of people have access to AI technologies. Let's call them "The AI Rich". All the rest of the population is effec

That would be fraud to investors, given investors own the company in a shared manner. If some investor approve printing new shares all investors should be notified. But there are no laws settings how many shares a company can print.

Mostly because of economic theories that turned out to be empirically wrong during the 20th. Most countries where free banking was the norm had very stable financial systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_banking

Correct, but the problem is how you prove that for humans is by using the output and inferring that. You can apply the same criteria to ML models. If you don't, you need some other criteria to rule out that assumption for ML models.

Languages evolve. Just like Italian words are used in English-speaking countries, English words or derivations of them become part of the spoken and written language in Italy. I think Government enforcing culture should be unconstitutional.

I have been using Godot since it was open-sourced in 2014. I'm also familiar with the source code and I have made some contribution. I mostly created prototypes until two years ago when I started working my first commercial project, it

I'd say that people coming together for something isn't necessarily good. If they come together for something wrong it is worse than everyone just minding their own businesses.

This person pretty much sums up my thoughts. I'll let him speak for me (although my position is probably a bit more moderate). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TzM1TO2pb4 He's also English while I'm not.

Coincidentally I had debates recently about traditions. In particular about Monarchies. While traditions can be there for reasons and it's OK to follow some traditions, all traditions should be questioned. The amount of knowledge we ha

The real question for me is, do you think that a Government is different or in a better position than corporations or people operating in the market in making economic decision for an entire country? I believe it isn't. Actually I thin

AFAIK this is the only one what is compatible with C++ at the source level. As much as I like C++ I think it has a lot of accidental complexity built in and the syntax is too verbose at times. I also think that a lot of people (me included)

I had been thinking about something like this for a long time. There is just too much C++ code out there but C++ (despite many efforts by the standard committee) is still too verbose and hard to make sense of in many cases. So I thought &qu

Of course. I use both the built in Godot profiler and perf. Which led me to change many things in the implementation and I also ended up patching the Engine multiple times. One example is this (which I have patched on my Godot version): ht
