Thanks for responding! That's interesting. I'm a night owl and nap pretty much every day, but it's kind of my superpower, not something I consider a problem. I feel a million times better after a good nap.

I agree. That said, if AI puts journalism out of business, then AI will quickly run out of content to train on and report. I think this is a situation where technology has gotten way out ahead of the law.

So if they fix this problem, you’d then be OK with generative AI? BTW, plenty of humans have memorized copyrighted material, such as song lyrics. Do you think that should be prohibited? Maybe the difference isn’t as great as you think.

You don’t deliver source code with the binary at the end of the project?

I'm currently looking at purchasing a commercial product because CodeSquish has a fatal error and hasn't been updated in two years because the guy who maintains it has vanished off the face of the earth.

For those (like me) who are unfamiliar with this device: It looks like a Marshall amp, but is a 9" tall Bluetooth speaker.

Couldn't you write this more simply as A ⊂ B ⇒ size(A) < size(B)?

You can make exactly the opposite argument as well: You think that we can still define cars as human-driven even when they have self-driving features (e.g. lane keeping). If the car is self-driving in even the smallest way, then they simply

And hitting the terminal would likely have resulted in far more loss of life. Are airport designers supposed to consider this as "an eventual certainty"?
435.
by munchler 2y ago
Yes, this one. Just like the others, this airport had a dangerous obstacle at a considerable distance from the runway. It's not a design goal of these runways to make such a landing survivable.

I work for a Fortune 500 as well, FWIW.

IANAL, but I think that if they were to assert copyright over your code, the license you chose would be irrelevant (since the code was never yours to license in the first place).

As someone who grew up during this era, I find some of the nostalgic preferences of today's culture to be amusing and nearly random. In addition to ABBA, others that come to mind are Queen and Bob Ross. Not that there's anything w

LLM's are inherently untrustworthy. They're very good at some tasks, but they still need to be checked and/or constrained carefully, which is probably not the best technology on which to base real-world autonomous agents.

> an integer where the type system would ensure that it is always between 1 and 12 How does Pascal handle overflow/underflow? E.g. Month 10 + Month 11 = Month 21?

Hmm, you could be right, but you could also be very wrong. Jury's still out, so the next few years will be interesting. Regarding the value of "pointless pattern matching" in particular, I would refer you to Douglas Hofstadte

It shows objectively that the models are getting better at some form of reasoning, which is at least worth noting. Whether that improved reasoning is relevant for the real world is a different question.

I assume that if we ever unify QCD with General Relativity, the resulting theory would be able to predict these hadrons from first principles?

Yes, this is that study: “Patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with the drug Ozempic have an increased risk of developing damage to the optic nerve of the eye.”
