As a Go programmer, how often do you check if fmt.Print returned an error? You get to assume that stdout and stderr exist for a start, even if your code is being run in an environment where that makes no sense. And what is the correct behav

This is how rose breeders stay in business. They get the rights to profit off their work, time limited rights over the life form they created. Where it gets messy is people copyrighting stuff they didn't develop or breed, just what the

Yeah. My own manifesto is that once exposed to wider society, it becomes part of our culture and we the public gain some rights over the art from that. For reproducible art works, owners should be required to sell at a reasonable price, or

Or is that backwards? Revenue comes in the door, and we must spend it, because empires must be built. No longer 100 developers working on a browser, but thousands working on all sorts of unrelated things and all the support staff. Whereas t

The statistics (in the sample data) becomes the stereotype. If 99% of your samples are white doctors, maybe you will get a non-white doctor if you ask it to generate a picture of a group of 100 doctors. But if you ask it to generate a pic

There are dentists of the sort you can find on YouTube who say you can regrow enamel somewhat, but some of the steps go against common tooth care wisdom so personally I'd only try it if I was needing serious dental work.
