This study says that AI influences human decisions, and I think to say that the study needs a control group, with the same setup but with "AI" replaced by a human, who would toss a coin to choose his opinion. The participants of

I cannot say numbers, because I don't watch for them... So I took a blog I read regularly, and counted top level comments to some post, I got 10 people used it, 4 didn't use, and 8 didn't use words with "ё", so I ca

Mostly unrelated to the article, but the title stirred up memories. ~20 years ago I stumbled across the "Ё" license, that granted you all rights you can dream of with one condition, you must use the letter "ё" in its rig

This classification was invented decades ago. I think in 1970s or even earlier. Garbage collection is a large field with lots of ideas and research behind it. There are different approaches to structure the heap, to find roots, to trace liv

Well... I believe that the illusion is a real thing, but a lot of people started talked about it also may be a real thing, and they could happen at the same time. But there is one more piece of the puzzle: probability to learn something rai

They matter. I could play a game with negative expected value just for fun, if this negative expected value is not too negative. Or not for a fun, but to let Ballmer win to make him feel himself winner, to make him feel superior, hopefully

Maybe I don't understand something, but for me it seems pretty easy. What is needed to be done: 1. Make a list of all UB 2. Define the sensible compiler behavior in each case (for example, let MAX_INT+1 to calculate into MIN_INT on x86

Whatever you call it, if it gives you immunity to Sam Altman's talks then the article is not for you.

I believe you miss the point. Sam Altman's talks can confuse you into believing he is caring, and the article warns you about not trusting to him. If you are such a cynical person that you don't need these warnings, because you as

SpaceX faces the same risks of becoming a monopolist and then declining. To give the whole contract to him maybe is a good short term solution, but long term it will end badly.
