My favourite by miles was asking bard for some more mathematical examples after explaining quantum field theory quite well in words, to which it said "Ok here are some examples of mathematics: 2+2=4"

It's more that mathematics is solely consumed inside "mathematics for engineering 101" spread across N years.

Watching the demos for this the phrase "Apple are building the end of culture" came to mind. I want one, but if it sticks I can see a world where an AI persona is giving me a personalized layoff message in 10 years time.

The question will be will the distribution of ibeer/games to genuinely innovative uses of the form. That being said I don't know what the first "wow" app was for the iPhone other than games?

Below a certain IQ sure. The actual answer here is presumably just that it's legally cleaner — that and internal hiring and so on is apparently logistically almost impossible for a lot of companies (organizations accumulate a lot of sc

I dunno. I've always absolutely hated jumping around CSS styles, tailwind has got me actually making nice UIs.

Hate to say it but I get the impression (having learnt "hardcore" programming first then learnt react recently) that web dev struggles a lot from having smart-but-tasteless amateurs who don't know when to stop. That and npm h

Writing a program that can dump itself is a great learning project. Good bit twiddling practice too

You're mistaking something else for the rounding mode and subnormal handling flags.

One of the things that you can do with D and as far as I know Julia is enable specific optimizations locally e.g. allow FMAs here and there, not globally. fast-math is one of the dumbest things we have as an industry IMO.

I would never fault Walters graciousness, rather that I and others just find it difficult to establish a common ground quite often. You can see this very clearly in the discussion of the SQL applications of the string interpolation proposal
856.

I don't think Walter has ever intentionally talked down to anyone in my time, but his tone can be subtly belittling over some details. I don't think it's intentional but the argument always begins with explaining some detail

It increasingly randomly refuses to do stuff depending what they've been training it not to do. Aside: Llama2 on launch was so locked down it was refusing to "do creative work".

This is actually really important for things like browser extensions.

I've made changes to a pretty contentious page (amongst others, but that one in particular is quite conspiratorial) and it's all still there.

Your first example might be a little harsh, but there is a real risk if you let these things go uncontrolled e.g. the potential for fraud is enormous.

I have been reading about this in private eye for maybe a decade, nothing happens, TV show? Instant progress overnight.

I'd imagine the bulk of the sales at that price point will be people or companies justifying it as a work expense.

Yes. They've completely flubbed python-in-excel already.

Clang on Mac is closed source. We're already swinging back away from being able to know what went into our binaries

Yeah. Admittedly I haven't been burnt in a while but stackoverflow (stackexchange, really, i haven't truly learnt from stackoverflow in a while) is the highest signal to noise I know of online

I'm not sure exactly how to define it but this is the end of something — certainly something for that clique of British YouTubers (e.g. Tom Scott did the graphics for many jay foreman videos and so on) And really YouTube in general — T

He tried and AFAICT failed to do TV in the past — this is probably not a bad thing given how the tides have changed. I have always found his patterns of speech interesting. Quite measured but untrained. I've never met him but I know a
