Please note, a question does not imply an opinion . Could you provide a reference for them not being federal law enforcement officers (specifically immigration law)? I've seen this mentioned several times, but can only find evidence t

I think this has to be seen as "over some span of time", because a drought is an "over some span of time" thing.

For the downvoters, I think giving examples of what's NOT a function would start an interesting conversation, especially if you don't know how it could possibly be interesting!

Sure, but there's a clear practical difference. Most professionals don't have the agency or company backing to allow LGPL, with their companies source code. Most personal users do.

I've seen it many many times, a few from myself. It's not so hard if you're an expert in the field or concept they're asking the solution for, especially if you've already implemented it in the past, in some way, so

I think this is the cause for the division in the perception of how useful AI is. If you work in a field with mostly proprietary implementations of solutions, the top model aren't going to be all that helpful. The models won't

Appears to be around 150 times slower. I suspect increasing the sample circle cell resolution would give similarly crisp edges.

If you like absurdist humor, there's a really good chance you'll enjoy some of the humor focused AI video "algorithm tracks" (what's the proper name?) on TikTok.

Hasn't this been proven true, many times now? Just look at the difference between ChatGPT 3 and 3.5, for example (which used the same dataset). That, and all the top performing models have large gains from thinking, using the exact sam

I don't think I've ever seen less than 10x speedup after putting some effort into improving performance of "organic"/legacy code. It's always shocking how slow code can be before anyone complains.
