You're misinformed. clang also has a custom parser. Both gcc and clang have great support for new standards, though as those standards are evolving some features aren't there yet (but none of the missing features have anything t

gcc's C and C++ parsers are handwritten recursive descent parsers. Years ago, Bison was used, and for C++ a third pass was required between the lexer and the parser to add the needed lookahead to differentiate complex type and function

There's been a movement away from LR parsing in favor of recursive descent, and it isn't only that many languages are not LR(1) (for example, C++ can require infinite lookahead). It's also that even if the grammar of the lang

This is good. If we merely confirm what we expect to see, then we don't learn anything new.

Is there any evidence that you can point to that Teslas are saving more crashes than they are causing, compared to some other vehicle with basic collision avoidance features?

That's not how it works: you start with the null hypothesis and you try to see if you can reject that with some confidence interval. In this case, the null hypothesis is that it's some kind of ordinary object, and its path is dete

Since the pandemic especially, a number of businesses don't take cash, only cards, particularly some small breweries and independent fast food places in our area (Silicon Valley). I guess if the card readers all go down they are out of

The problem was that it was made useless. If you ask random people to teach your chatbot, you are at the mercy of those random people. Sure, MS could have left it on, and no one would use it except for two groups: actual neoNazis, and peopl

Probably the law passed long enough ago that $46.8k was a high salary and it wasn't indexed for inflation.

Longitude was a much tougher problem to solve.

I think it can depend on the particular discovery whether we should teach "here's how the first person figured it out" or skip right to "here's how a later person found a much better, easier to understand approach&q

Erastosthenes did it by comparing the angle of the shadow cast by a stick on the summer solstice at noon in two cities, Alexandria and Syene (now Aswan), which are about 800 km apart. What was special about Syene was that it is so close to

Simpler way: just turn off notifications. Look at it when you have time and you want to, not because your phone beeps. Ideally notifications would only be used when your work colleagues or family members are trying to reach you, not for som

Agreed. The article is measuring the wrong thing: a company doesn't care about high readership of the initial bad news; it wants to get bad news out of the way as quickly as possible and have the conversation switch to something else.

Certainly. Approaches that have done better on the Turing test have used various tricks to avoid their lack of understanding, like playing a paranoid person. But some of the best chatbots give themselves away by getting stuck in a loop or d

The Pacific Northwest is near-desert just east of the Cascades, and transmission lines could carry power to Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver BC from the dry sunny parts.

A key reason that we want models at least for some applications to be interpretable is to watch out for undesirable features. For example, suppose we want to train a model to figure out whether to grant or deny a loan, and we train it to ma

Perhaps some sort of adversarial network approach could work better; models that learn to generate text and other models that try to distinguish AIs from humans, competing against each other. Also, children learning language benefit from co

But the business models of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Google Search are all based on tracking people.

Yes, but big artificial revenue growth coupled with equally big artificial expense growth can look like a growing company and hide the fact that non-bogus revenue is actually shrinking. I don't think sophisticated investors will be foo

That's an argument for two companies to show ads on each other's platforms, but not an argument for the vastly inflated prices they were pretending to charge each other. At least for public companies, regulators should crack down

From the article: "GPUs don't really like drawing vector graphics. They like big batches of textured triangles. So, I needed to rasterize these vectors." The author certainly wasn't the first person to have this problem.

For something like img2img with Stable Diffusion, if the starting image is copyrighted by someone else I'd expect that the output image is a derivative work of the starting image.

It's 70 in the US now. From the US Copyright Office: "As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years. For an anonymous work, a pseudony

The Berne Convention (an international agreement) requires at least 50 years of protection, and the US signed it. But 50 is a lot less than 95.

A streaming service could hire musicians to do a new score for public domain silent movies, they would then have the exclusive right to distribute the combined work.

Permanent. The term is 95 years now, unless Congress changes the law. And reducing it would be very difficult legally, with copyright holders suing for their theoretical losses if Congress "deprives" them of 20 years of protection

I work in electronic design automation. When I started, Solaris on Sparcs was dominant and we supported a number of Unix flavors, but all that died long ago, Linux killed it off. The Solaris port was the last to die, and we were very happy
