These articles consistently fail to acknowledge students were cheating in large numbers prior to these AI tools being available. It was certainly not difficult to cheat at a "closed book" take home exam before.

> There's no need to overthink this. I agree, but for a completely different reason. A lot of executives simply chase trends. This was another trend they copied from each other. No reason to imagine they carefully studied the issue.

You have no opinion about the bill, but then clearly imply it'll be bad. Sure.

Before maybe you had to deal with someone hiring schetchy consultants once in a while, but now the managers have a limitless well of dubious answers to draw on at any time.

Nothing proposed will succeed in preventing access if an adult is willing to help a kid get access. You don't need to do anything technical. Log in, and hand over your phone.

Unfortunately, a lot of times articles are kind of full of fluff, or journalists trying to add their own spin. Partly, that's financial. If Apple makes a product announcement, most people want a link to that, but most news sources don&

I don't feel your proposal to exterminate all dogs will be popular.

That's the system. You're supposed to freak out about your kids doing the same things you did when you were young.

The high level might look simple, but something like "attack" has to involve checking if it's possible/reasonable in a 3D space, animating turning and walking prior to the attack, playing the animations, dealing with pla

De-compilation isn't enough to avoid copyright infringement issues, and if there are patents involved, they can also be an issue. You're always going to basically be stuck asking for permission, which is the essential intent of in

I'm surprised they didn't at least attempt to email them to ask why. Ignorance is always a possibility here, as it might be their first time hiring.

There are some studies, such as twin and adoption studies, suggesting genetics plays a role: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4038932/

That's definitely not a normal person's view of things, sorry.

That's just innate. Often you don't know until you try.

I felt the same, and I saw multiple people did back in 2016 as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12554887 Edit: Looking at the raw pixel data, the cells seem to be (0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0), (1, 1, 1), (8, 8, 8), so the

That total R&D spending number is heavily private sector, and is often not what a normal person would consider research, as there is a tax incentive to identify activities as R&D.

I commented about the logic of the bank's forecasting. Your response doesn't make sense in that context.

But that just means the bank is creating deliberately delusional forecasts. I can build a building that charges a billion dollars a month rent, and sits completely empty. A forecast suggestion I'll be making hundreds of billions with n

It's usually just that the core product was built a long time ago, and that's 95% of what customers want. There's always the option of getting rid of all the engineers working on new stuff, and having a small support staff. O
