To play the devil's advocate: AI allows non-tech people to bootstrap a functional application. A global good design may be missing when the code is generated in small quantities and stitched together. It's sloppy in the sense that

Excellent visuals! The 18th century warship video is a good watch too. It's a nice comparison to the ship described in this one.

Great project! For long running containerised simulations, this saves a lot of time on failures ( as long as you have a safe place to write the snapshots to ) by not restarting from 0 every time.

No, I did not make that assumption. His answer to the investigator's question should have been what the operating handbook says and not an opinion he held. Even he was offering an opinion as addendum (that may have been edited out of c

> His opinion was that the Cessna 185 simply didn’t stall. There's your problem. Don't opine on operating characteristics of a production aircraft. Read the handbook. This incident was caused by poor airmanship.

People draw an arbitrary line of difference in the way we treat AI programs and human outputs. A human imagining orcs and one horned horses has 'fantastical, larger than life' imagination but AI generation drawing people with stra

The microwave example is very interesting. The prompt only asked to "warm up my lunch" without specifying how. SayCan[1] generated step-wise high level instructions using LLMs for robotic tasks. This takes it a step further by con

Did something similar with a previous incarnation of OpenAI's LLMs - codex. Far more constrained no doubt but it made some things convenient like finding obscure `ls` flags.

Waymo has demonstrated capability (in a limited sense) with full self-driving so I'm excited for this to take off. What concerns me are the screens. They are going to play ads on a loop. Phone ads to car ads to house ads. We'll ge

Taking long term considerations into account does not need to happen over a long period of time. The advantage of machines is their superior ability to parallel process efficiently so you'd expect answering questions would happen prett

I can attest to the unstable handling of '+' suffixed emails. UPS allowed me to ship a package as guest with myemail+ups@gmail.com but wouldn't let me create an account with the same email ID. I had no way to track the packag

What if I am travelling to another country physically where I don't read or write the local language? Would this affect my website access even if I'm connected via an IP inside the country?

That is incorrect. On-campus employment is allowed in the student visa and graduate student appointments are typically RA positions which qualify as employment under this definition.

I've always wondered if the fluorescent markers are visible to the fish and whether that might change their behaviour during experiments especially if it is a group interaction with other specimens who are not similarly modified.

The focus of the article is American literature. In that context, cricket has no standing. Across the erstwhile british empire, yes, cricket is quite the snooty sport ;)
