Ahem did you know David wasn't always 100 years old, and that in the past he worked on the field?

To be fair to the idea, though, while this would make individual instances less secure, it would drastically decrease the leverage for the work bad actors put in. There is a saying in the software security industry that (I'm paraphrasi

Reminds me of the discussions with my wife. She is from Japan and, over there, you cross a traffic light when it's "blue". IIRC, the word was chosen before international agreements, and the colour has shifted towards green si

The title makes it sound like a worldwide claim. I understand this forum is USA centric, but we could perhaps add a qualifier in the title?

I think the general wisdom in that scenario is to keep them around until they get in the way. Let them provide a bit of value until they start being a cost.

GP was arguing against the OP, not a comment, and AI written posts are fair game. Also, the comment you responded to was criticizing the attack to the substance of the post based on who/what wrote is. The comment neologism actually fit

Agree with the sentiment! But "securing ... in all ways possible"? I know many people who would choose "password" as their password in 2026. The better of the bunch will use their date of birth, and maybe add their name

Is it a good proxy, though? My intuition is that many economic effects play out very differently if they are limited to one country vs the whole world. To make this more concrete, tax havens only work because most countries keep producing

What makes you think this trend will continue? In a situation with finite resources (eg the number of parameters), the default is to assume things will plateau.

No, the complaint is that "the syntax is not intuitive even knowing the simpler forms of redirection": this one isn't a competition of them, but rather an ad-hoc one. I know about manuals, and I have known this specific synta

Trying to be language agnostic: it should be as self-explanatory as possible. 2>&1 is all but. Why is there a 2 on the left, when the numbers are usually on the right. What's the relationship between 2 and 1? Is the 2 for std er

Worth pointing out that calculating p-values on a wide set of metrics and selecting for those under $threshold (called p-hacking) is not statistically sound - who cares, we are not an academic journal, but a pill of knowledge. The idea is,

The difference with guns, tobacco and alcohol is huge: all negatives aside, giving kids what they want makes the life of a parent so much easier. Take it away and many parents will fight. Sugar is in the same game.

It's very much believable, to me. In image generation, it's fairly common to add "masterpiece", for example. I don't think of the LLM as a smart assistant that knows what I want. When I tell it to write some code, h

While I agree, if you think that AI is just a text predictor, you are missing an important point. Intelligence, can be borne of simple targets, like next token predictor. Predicting the next token with the accuracy it takes to answer some

I've been taking classes for one year when I was in uni, about 15 years ago. I have always had the problem that I would run out of voice after 1-2 songs. My teacher at the time kept saying my problem was that I had to strengthen and us

Could it be the pendulum swinging hard before selling in the middle? Once we learn from our mistakes we can find the frequencies that do yield the best outcome and at the same time consume (say) ¼ the energy of an incandescent bulb. Or the

The thing is, when you copy paste a bibliography entry from the publisher or from Google Scholar, the authors won't be wrong. In this case, it is. If I were to write a paper with AI, I would at least manage the bibliography by hand, co
