A good way to look at it is to compare it to today: LLMs are already trained and are operationalizing a lot more mathematical knowledge than any human, including experts. Why are they not coming up with paradigm shift in knowledge expressio

What frequently happens when we recombine axioms like that is that they end up leading to inconsistencies or contradictions. Do you know if this topos with every total function on real numbers is continuous has been constructed and proven t

PhDs used to mean publishing a novel mathematical result: when has that changed?

by necovek 5mo ago
You seem to be missing their point (which I agree with). The type of intelligence we are equipped with allows us not to have the level of memory an LLM does and still complete tasks that are novel to us every single day. Like navigating a s

I am more concerned with getting the right order and not with entering the right one. McDonalds will still get it wrong when you have a complex "change" of defaults even if it's entered correctly. Other places optimize for th

McDonalds' menu is not designed for folk like you. In my part of the world, we had traditional fast-food joints where the question would be inverse: out of the things you can see and add to your burger, pick a few. That is very efficie

But that is also non-obvious. Even managing human employees — let alone customers — required a planning ability related to emotional intelligence that many a person with good pure logic ability simply lacks. Also, there will be hundreds of

If they don't have millions/billions of customers to spend koney on whatever they are selling, their riches become irrelevant too. Money is valuable only as it changes hands for goods/services, and if you want to get rich, on

Is anyone looking at what are college age men and women doing? Of those not enrolled in college, how many hold jobs, and if so, what is the compensation they achieve?

At some point it used to be significantly cheaper than any other AWS region in the world. Not sure if that's still true.

Let's also not ignore enterprise realities: in your example, Samsung Displays is likely giving a great price to Apple for displays based on long-term commitment of large quantities: it allows them to optimize production and possibly gi

Depends on your "business moment" (how mature you are, how complex your product is, etc) if you want to have more specialization or less. Most software teams benefit from getting daily access to someone who deeply empathises with

Experience has taught us that the two operating modes are different enough by nature, that you need slightly different APIs for each (look at tools wrapping CLI programs: they generally suck one way or another). What the industry settled on

You do not seem to be engaging in good faith: the GP explicitly discusses "self-driving cars", which come with an expectation that you still need to be "just checking they work well", and we have already seen people not

You joke but that's pretty much what cross functional teams are. The only other observation is that as you grow teams, communication channels multiply exponentially and at over 6-8 people communication starts breaking down. So instead

If you named your variables properly and your editor supported type hints, you'd have none of these issues: I used generic names for demonstration. Compare it to family_adults = [ person for person in family_members if person.age &

I am not disputing client side hashing brings some value, just claiming that it is the least useful of the techniques applied.

Best as the most capable, not with the purest motivation.

It is focused on communication flow for small data-only loops: it is much easier to reason about items = [ this for iterator ] because you immediatelly see what type of data ends up in `items`. Syntax inversion overhead is very much

There is certainly good reason to do server-side hashing: you do not keep a persistent record of the customer's secret, yet keep the ability for them to authenticate with it. If you are never logging a clear-text secret and storing a h

by necovek 5mo ago
We are not disagreeing, but I am not getting my answer: how is client side hashing really helping, what are the circumstances it helps with if you do have the basics right? In your enumeration, what is breached for this to be meaningfully i

The way US dominated in some of the industries (including software, for instance) was by being first to extract large value, and then funding the best people with compensation unachievable elsewhere. This meant that all the talent in the wo

I believe cutting off of rare Earth materials was both in response to a restriction US imposed first, and also reciprocal: limited only to the US itself.

My question still stands: how do you disallow cleartext password extraction if you are breached, assuming all your IT infrastructure and code is now accessible to an attacker? I am talking about not logging them ever, using internal TLS and

You seem to be complaining more about for working on iterators/generators like range() and not on comprehensions themselves. List comprehensions are inverted (syntax-wise) compared to regular program flow, but that is pretty easy to le

I wonder how common are setups where an internal person has access to the TLS private key part of the certificate or access to a network equipment that all traffic passes through, yet they cannot access the inputs required for hashing/

I think this is more a matter of perspective, rather than original meaning. I read the above as "avoid development that increases complexity needlessly " — and often, there is a desire to overcomplicate something that can be much
