There is also Kotlin/Native, but yes, I am only talking about syntax here.

Weird the author finds it lovely and compares to Kotlin, but doesn't find Kotlin superior. Kotlin invested heavily in a really nice curly brace syntax. It is actually the nicest out there. In every point the author makes, it feels like

What you are arguing here is factually false and the exact kind of communist apologetics the article is trying to combat. The Soviets deliberately starved the Ukrainians who would otherwise have been fine. In Ireland Britain used its Royal

Modern capitalism evolved from those old arrangements, so, yes they could! It wasn't invented as a replacement of society via intelligent design. But OK, what's your definition?

Communism depended on the west and was sustained by it. Obviously they exported raw materials to purchase the many things they failed to produce themselves including food. But also particularly, the Soviets had no way to set prices in their

Improving capitalism is possible in the abstract. The reason it's hard to imagine is that "capitalism" is not a real thing that exists concretely. It is a term used by communists to refer to the natural state of affairs that

The National Socialists were socialists so that undermines not reinforces your point: - they implemented communist policies like mass nationalization schemes with some of the resulting "companies" being amongst the largest organiz

Seems wild unless you check out the state of the modern book market. That kind of verbal pornography is everywhere, women can't seem to get enough of it. 4o isn't even chatting in those screenshots, it's writing fiction in wh

It depends a lot on the type of conversation. A lot of ChatGPT load appears to be therapy talk that even small models can correctly predict.

I wouldn't describe the first two as computer science safety arguments. Those are purely social and merely the latest iteration of exactly the same debate that occurred around VHS tapes, newspapers, etc. The latter two are very specifi

There's no need. The BLS themselves check their own numbers and huge revisions have become normal. The idea that the BLS is getting things wrong isn't controversial and has been flagged by economists for years. If you want to unde

They can afford it but it probably won't increase Windows revenue, which is anyway only ~10% of their income. If they could make upgrades that people would pay $$$ for like in the Win95 days they'd be motivated to try but desktop

The UI for taskmanager was never great. Your link says so too. It's full of stuff like "If all your titlebars disappear and you just have a graph, double-click dead client space to switch back to normal mode" and "If Tas

Windows power users are sometimes their own worst enemy. The top cause of broken Windows Update or Windows Stores is in my experience people either running malware as part of pirating stuff (it's not zero-daying their browser), which t

Yes it has religious qualities. The decline of Christianity opened a gap in the market. Climatism preaches a definition of good person that's tangible and easy to understand. You're a good person if you fear the wrath of Gaia, bel

Congress puts political appointees in charge of the executive branch specifically to ensure political control.

If it's government funded it was indeed always under political control, just that some prior politicians chose to let it drift. Having politicians exercise more direct control over this type of spending is good and as it should be. The

No we never moved past that because the weather isn't getting more extreme. What happened is the left repeat this claim over and over, so people came to believe it. But where's the evidence? Are storms getting worse? No. https:&#

Not really. Ethics asks, "is this good?". Safety asks, "how do we make this safe?" - very different questions.

There is a Cloudflare project that published the entire AI generated history complete with prompts. And of course in many projects the majority of PRs are opened by dependabot, it's not an LLM but it's a "bot" at least.

Browser makers could easily let resources opt out of cache segmentation and then if everyone agreed on a CDN, or a resource integrity hash of a decoder, the wasm could be hot in the cache and used to extend the browser without Chrome needin

It's taken over my mature codebase just fine. I'm not in the business of spending tokens on open source projects though.

It's been tried already and doesn't work. Very often a model needs to emit tokens that aren't valid yet but will become so later.
