You are probably correct. If you are it is something millions of people suffer from, an inability to work with evidence or vet sources. Like how symbols are hard to parse for some, dyslexia, or math incomprehensible to some dyscalculia. How

Yeah, I get what they are saying and there's no reason to believe that. The die is an analogy for our decision making. They are implicitly claiming that randomness must come in an order and that simply isn't how randomness works

When polls like these are run the numbers don't always wind up tilted in the favor of the bigger number. I wish I could provide a specific source but I've been listening to the 538 podcast for years and I know they've covered

If You asked me to pick a random number between one and six and ignore all previous attempts, I would roll a die and you would get a uniform distribution (or at least not 99% the same number). If you are saying that this thing can't ge

It is often challenging to understand what is really happening, particularly when people involved aren't seen as reliable. So many three-year-old children say there are a monsters in their room when when they just let their imagination

It absolutely can be a lot of work, but sometimes the statement or stance is self-disproving. I once worked with a conspiracy theory believer who thought that the Earth was simultaneously a flat disk and a hollow sphere. This person wasn&#x

Somewhat?! Dude is a walking scandal machine. They make bumper stickers for tesla owners apologizing for Musk's behavior. His behavior is listed in the risk category for at least one of his company's financial filings. Only the mo

A core part of the problem is a lack of trust in institutions. People feel the experts aren't experts, feel the experts lie, or feel the experts have different and sometimes malicious goals. Even if that weren't the case new insti

Each country needs to weigh the risks of letting a foreign power like those companies control so much of their information access, against the benefit of the services they provide. Of course the United States wants United States companies i

I would prefer all green energy, but there is a lot of natural gas in the US. Likely, closing down a coal plant and replacing it with a gas plant will happen in more than a few places.

If the court AI were a cost cutting measure before real courts were involved and appeals to a conventional court could be made then I think it could be done with current tech. Courts in the US are generally overworked and I think many would

I definitely know some humans that make doubt blanket statements like "humans are self aware", but I have no formalized way to call them stupid.

Good luck! I hope to see many competitors in this space because hegemony in this space would inhibit the software industry as a whole. Figure out your differentiators and figure what copilot sucks at. Succeeding here can be done.

I strongly agree with your points and sentiment as far as the state of machine intelligence remains non-general. Currently, LLMs summarize, earlier systems classified, and a new system might do some other narrow piece of intelligence. If sy

I like the Primeagen's examples for the simple stuff. On stream he fires up an editor and copilot then writes the function signature for quick sort. Then copilot gets it wrong. It creates a sort function, but one worse than quick sort

I don't really see either of those as factors or at least not major factors. China is entirely comfortable playing a long game they take a long view with nearly everything they do. It is at least plausible that they want to be able to

Would them sharing their steam page with all the badges showing they are in the top 1% of most the solutions kind of similar to sharing their GitHub profile?

I wonder how hard of a problem detecting this would be, with the goal of unskewing the scores? Could they simply hash your solution and see if you match someone else exactly? What if you give someone credit for exact matches because they do

I think you have this exactly backwards. Einstein applied his intuition to find gaps in special relativity. He had built an intuition for how light works and asked what happened in corner cases so he could rapidly understand the boundaries

Why are so many people interacting with this at all instead of downvoting to oblivion? What kind of post comes from an anal_reactor?

This seems like bigoted garbage, without just coming out and saying who he hates. He hates "liberal culture" and is concerned about reproduction rates. I can't imagine he is lgbtq friendly or could hang out with my friends wi

Portability? In some situations it is harder to support different desktop builds and this might unify that. I don't think it is the strongest argument but at least on the margins it is an option I can see teams in some places choosing.

This isn't my example, but consider this situation: you are maintaining an old code base that has stuff from 30 to 40 years ago in it because it's still working and still making the company money. But it is old, came from before w

I hadn't even considered the task of going through old code and using this to make it more compliant, this is a great use case for this feature.

Is that supposed to make it seem better? If refactoring is too hard for a Microsoft owned company what am I to think about my tech stack?
