Hm, not much of a law if we boil it down to a tautology.

That's neat. Unfortunately, in my place of work, going back to Obj-C isn't an option.

I was excited and optimistic about transitioning to Swift in the Swift 3 days. By Swift 5 I was pining for Objective-C. One of the arguments for switching to Swift was that it would be easier for new programmers. Now I think it's more

Oh wow, I don't even know where to begin with that. Like, the world economy can't continue to function even if acquisitions were only 80% value creation on average? Or does the entire world economy depend on companies acquiring ot

I realize 'midtagonist' is a standard sloppy internet neologism, but technically it should be 'midagonist', or maybe 'mesagonist' to keep it fully Greek. (And yes, I'm delightful at parties.)

Definitely. No company has ever overpaid for another company. No fraud or FOMO-driven overvaluation has ever occurred in an acquisition. And all acquisitions have always turned out for the best. It's all 100% pure value creation.

I'm enjoying the discussion of Charlie Brown, but while Peanuts is indeed an American pop cultural institution, I never really thought of CB as a 'hero', or even really a protagonist. While there were cartoons where he's

> Our elections have been so close that there are numerous single factors determining the outcomes, if that makes sense. Not sure if that's specifically directed at me, but that's exactly what I said.

A woman would never win the Republican primary as long as MAGA dominates the right. And Democrats aren't so broadly driven by identity politics that a Republican candidate merely being a woman would attract significant Democratic defec

What's the intersection of Americans who won't vote for a woman presidential candidate and Americans who support MAGA? I imagine it's fairly high. That said, I don't believe there's a single factor that determined t

The author is not a scientist publishing in a scientific journal, in case that wasn't clear from the domain. You always this cranky and uncharitable?

This comment deserves to be ranked higher. I 100% interpreted the quote as coming from Rob Pike.

That's a good point. I think a lot of forums were less vulnerable for a number of reasons. They typically don't have a large audience (not all, but most), which makes them less of a target. They're also organized around niche

The demographics of who was online before the internet went mainstream matter a lot, here. It wasn't exactly a representative slice of the general population.

Have you considered the possibility that you're the one who's really committed to an outcome, and are desperately trying to discredit anything that contradicts it?

This is a weird comment to make, given that they're citing "Meta documents obtained via discovery." Doesn't seem like you're making this comment in good faith, and/or you're very invested in Meta somehow.

If we're a part of the ecosystem, then deciding to be honey bees' legal guardian _is_ the ecosystem deciding that on its own, no?

> Or you can neglect AI altogether, and have a car with 6 LIDARs drag a pedestrian, because it had all the sensor coverage but zero object permanence. False dichotomy, much?

If they can't do things that require understanding, it's material, bub. And just because you have no understanding of what "understanding" means, doesn't mean nobody does.

You're quoting two different people here. - Google actively is working to, and has reduced, conflict cobalt from the supply chain. That's good, but doesn't change the fact that the supply chain for tech exemplifies &qu

There are two problems with your post. The first is that your phrasing "that LLMs are not possible or at least that they're some kind of illusion" collapses the claim being made to the point where it looks as if you're s

Absolutely. It's anchoring in the service of a massive con.

So many goons on here who keep flagging submissions like these, or trying to discredit them with superficial criticism ("he keeps saying the same thing!"). It's sad this behavior doesn't get modded. Edit: lol at the down

I don't think we can say it's "better" based on a bunch of anecdotes, especially when they're coming exclusively from people who are more intelligent, educated, and AI-literate than most of the population. But it is
