But why stop there? What's the difference between Microsoft, Google, Meta, and OpenAI in this regard? All of those build their models based on the same sources and it's therefore a much more general issue than just one particular

To be fair, every reasonable linter will treat this as an error or at least a warning and inform the programmer about their blunder. In fact, in TypeScript you don't even need a linter - the compiler itself can be configured to disallo

The same is true for Typescript, hence the userType's restriction to 'customer' and 'admin'. Though the initial sample code is wrong anyway - note the missing "break" statements inside the switch.

Same here. Different hardware ( much older) and Windows 11. Haven't rebooted that machine in weeks either.

I wouldn't think of wind and solar as competition to fusion. Fusion power would have a different role in future electricity grids. Both would be complementing each other, rather than being a replacement. Solar and wind are comparativel

And what exactly stops a decoder from simply disregarding unnecessary format variants? If you go as far as to implement your own decoder anyway, this argument is simply not applicable. Supporting only a subset of the format is perfectly acc

Why wouldn't they just use TGA? Just as simple, more flexible if need be and understood even today by most image manipulation programs and 3d modelling software.

Amazing how few people do some basic research - this isn't new or exciting at all. TGA is fine and has been around for decades. It also has the added benefit that many applications still support it natively. I really don't get the

gcc is a complex beast and optimisation is hard. There's no such such thing as "generic optimisations" that remove useless actions, because depending on the hardware, certain seemingly useless actions are actually required to

I think AI would be great at generating similar things. Might be very nice for generating fake languages, too.

Exactly! This is a very good question that requires some context, preferably from within the field. What does it actually mean? Sadly, however, the article doesn't seem interested in answering that question and providing the necessary

The problem with SQL is that this behaviour is inconsistent when it comes to NULL values. Consider a column with values (10, 20, NULL, 30). In SQL the AVG() function would return 20, i.e. ignoring the NULL value entirely. COUNT(*) on a tabl

I didn't understand "false?" as a NULL value but more of a "Nothing"/"None" in the context of a Maybe monad. Since the language doesn't even have a Boolean equivalent, it makes sense to introduce

My guess would be that it's the usual case of trying to solve a non-technical issue by throwing new technology at it. I honestly cannot wrap my head around how a programming language of all things should solve the "millions of pro

The paper also stops before going into these. These were the bits that actually interested me, but alas, guess we'll have to wait for that.

Nice, so the model itself confirmed my suspicion that it doesn't do actual calculations. Rest assured that it won't be able to do that for a while (at least the public versions). Not for technical reasons, though - I'm 100% c

I agree with the softwaredoug that this is probably not a technical problem. Any proposed solution would only serve to make the next iteration of the model better at avoiding detection (e.g. incorporating a GAN-style training cycle). Just a

For each impressive feat there's a simple, yet embarrassing counterexample (see for instance the comment by olooney below) that clearly demonstrates how far the model is from being considered an AGI. > Definitely nothing related to
