The point is, what if it you were MITMed from the beginning?

I thought so too, but then I actually once gave my phone to someone in need, and they... just called someone and returned my phone back to me. I was actually expecting a trick. I guess we need to be more trusting sometimes, and help each ot

For example, you can't replace these tiles with just rectangles. For regular shapes you can, for example if you tile your bathroom with squares there will be a repeating 2x2 square pattern too. Similarly, hexagons and triangles can be

I agree with you that the current AIs are just pattern matching. It's a known fact. But we don't really fully understand how human intelligence works, so I'm not sure how can you be so sure we're actually better. I mean

It's not clear they're looking for someone specific. When I applied for Google, I was first accepted, got the job, and then had to find an internal team that wanted me. I even decided which country I want to work in after I got

In case of small companies it's not unusual to have just a "software engineer" job posting, and consider everyone from mid to principal engineer (with salary dependent on their skill level). I wonder how job postings would wo

I love EU and everything it stands for (even if the execution is not always perfect). Why do you want to see Europe crashing down?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how Window's ABI works. Even command line applications have to parse their arguments, and this is just something that C's runtime usually does before main (in contrast to linux ABI, where

I thought that "socialism" has negative connotations for me, as an eastern European. But clearly it's nothing compared to how hated this word was in the US in 1910s. Interesting quote, anyway! Wikipedia says that the novel is

As far as I understand, no. This is only about Grover's algorithm.

Isn't it the same? Laws of physics describe how the physical world works, similarly to "laws of math" that describe how the mathematical world works. In both cases we tend to define our laws in a way that's easy for huma

Yes, this is what they claim. As long as your company has no physical offices in the EU you probably don't have to worry about it. If your company grows bigger, you probably should.

How does that work out for you? This doesn't strike me as a good use of fingerprinting: - Since you charge per person, what about people that use multiple machines and browsers (with presumably different fingerprints)? - On the other h

Maybe your fingerprint is just common? Location probably comes from geoip.

If you don't trust your government, how is it different than being arrested at the flip of the switch?

I also don't see how analog hole is relevant. This is not some novel DRM style, but a way to slightly modify the original image such that it's less useful for AI model training.

But why? Ordering via app is more convenient, and the restaurants clearly don't mind fees.

Agreed. That's like hearing about early group theory and disregarding it as abstract nonsense. Turns out it's pretty useful everywhere now, but at the beginning it was not so obvious. I would also change the statement to "nev

Do you honestly don't see the problem in your own behaviour? Your manager is as busy as you, and also a human - communicating your needs is your responsibility. I had a similar expreience with one piece of software that is expensive, n

You joke, but an economy that is 97% artists (aka content creators) sounds... good? Isn't this the utopic end goal after we automate the scarcity out of our lifes?

Attributes don't map well to standard collections, so it is clumsy to parse and use in most programming languages.

My job is fighting IT crime. Right now this means reverse-engineering malware, tracking criminal groups in various graph databases, and writing Python scripts. Maybe in 20 years I will reverse-engineer AI models (using AI tools), discuss cr

In my previous organisation $19/month (IIRC) was a dealbreaker. That was non-US so salaries are lower, and suddenly I had to explain why we absolutely needed the paid version so much (instead of sticking to the free one). To make it wo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but planes, cars and books also started as something very expensive and only affordable for the 0.1%, but are now enjoyed by everyone.
