Yes, and I’m talking about the time before that, when experts doubted whether Fox could survive. (I’m old.)

I remember when Fox News was considered irrelevant compared to mainstream news outlets. Don’t underestimate the reach of billionaires with an ideological agenda.

I think you are missing the point: If we assume that AGI is *not* yet here, but may be here soon, what will change when it arrives? Those changes could be big enough to affect you.

To double nitpick: She's a delegate, not a representative. There are also non-voting members from Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

The code in question is: if (sprtemp[frame].rotate == false) Note that this is explicitly comparing two values, which is very different from checking whether a single value is true. Surely you wouldn't expect -1 == 0 to evalua

> memset (sprtemp,-1, sizeof(sprtemp)); Yikes. I think this article undersells the point somewhat. This line of code undermines the type system by spraying -1's into an array of structs, so the only surprise to me is that it took th

I would suggest the US is slightly better. At least we don’t have an unenforceable law that offers the illusion of privacy protections.

This seemed like a bad idea to me from the beginning. Giving personal biometric details to a monster corporation is a nonstarter for both techies and normies.

Because we’re interested in AGI (emphasis on general ) and LLM’s are the closest thing to AGI that we have right now.

With dozens of agents running at a time, it must cost $1000's to build anything non-trivial. Is there a business model behind this project, or is he just made of money?

This is an interesting concept, but it is presented so abstractly as to be opaque to even most functional programmers, I think. The basic idea, as I understand it, is a typeclass that is more powerful than an applicative, but still less pow

They need to pay more if the US wants to avoid becoming an aristocracy. The top 1%’s share of income is growing rapidly, while the bottom 90%’s share is shrinking. https://www.epi.org/blog/wages-for-the-top-1-skyrockete

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you. As long as every use of sqrt has such a condition.

If sqrt -1 = 0, then (by squaring both sides) -1 = 0, which is clearly unsound.

Came here to say the same thing. A general-purpose microservice that handles authentication or sends user notifications would be prohibited by this restriction.
