That was the outcome in this case but in general it can be very damaging for someone to lose most of their social circle. The principal's goal was to save face at the expense of harming the son. The fact that he came out on top is irre

I absolutely agree with you but I can't avoid noticing an extremely common, yet pervasive irony. The rules of the school no doubt forbid physical violence and expect children to use a process set up by the system to defend themselves a

That's because the narrative in the last decades has shifted towards tools, not actions and intentions being good or bad. In the past, it was normal and encouraged to use any tools available to you to defend yourself. Psychological abu

The data is bound by licenses which affect how the resulting model can be used. I release most of my public code under AGPL so that, for most intents and purposes, anybody using it has to also make their code public and benefit society at l

The second goal is muddying the waters and making people not care. Say you're deciding between two programs (or AI models)[0], you prefer an open source one, a colleague prefers one that just pretends to be open. You say your choice is

Regarding errors: I don't know the exact mechanism in the brain that causes humans to make them but i believe it's a combination of imperfect memory, attention span and general lack of determinism. None of these affect logical rea

I don't understand how anybody can still claim LLMs show "complex reasoning". It's been shown time and time again that they'll produce a correct chain of reasoning when given a problem (e.g. wolf, goat, cabbage cros

Certainly. That statistic is misleading without knowing what exactly it measures. The author no doubt knows it. I am surprised you're the only person on HN pointing it out.

Don't pretend you don't understand. Failures like this aren't an individual programmer's responsibility. I can guarantee you programmers have been asking to implement staggered releases and management shut them down. In

That's the closest you get today but it means having to make, merge and delete branches all the time. What i propose is something like git squash but that keeps the history internally. It would present as one commit in gitk and other G

There's levels of granularity that matter. You could just as well record all your edits in realtime. Make a script that makes a commit every second or every time you finish editing a line. It might be interesting later, yet that's

Use a temporary branch for those. When you come back, undo the commit (git test -- hard if memory serves but i just have an "uncommit" alias) and commit the fully finished work to the real branch.

Do we know why they failed at the task? My immediate thought is that it's a failure of translation. My second is to "debug" their reasoning by asking them to describe the pictures. There's gotta be somebody who knows mor

It's not _that_ OOP. I keep telling people not to use OOP to refer to fyrox because people associate it with java but there maybe isn't a better commonly known word. OOP in fyrox means composition and message passing.

To the uninitiated, bevy is one of Rust's two main game engines, the other being Fyrox. Bevy, despite being written by an army of contributors is continually behind Fyrox which is developed mostly by one guy. Fyrox not only has an edit

Honestly, if you wanna see impressive pace, look at Fyrox. It has had scenes and UI for ages. While bevy is a decent piece of tech, it gets way more hype than it deserves, especially when there are more mature and capable alternatives.
