Being tricked by optical illusions is more about the sensory apparatus and image processing faculties than reasoning, but detecting optical illusions is definitely a reasoning task. I doubt it's an important enough task to train into

It's more a matter of comfort for me than anything to fit a program in a single screen or a function with a single line - large programs and functions are significantly more anxiety-inducing for me to read and work on. I have to keep s

Why not a whole language when so many problems can be easily reduced to these few methods? It's worth noting that almost all array languages are interpreted, and iteratively constructing a program in the interpreter is common. This sty

It's not about saving keystrokes, it's saving brainpower and effort when reading, writing, and modifying code. Instead of thinking about control flow and nested loops when doing multiple complex operations on an array, you're

For new learners, maybe, but what about more advanced learners and users? And how many letters are you going to add to get rid of all the overloaded sounds? If you read "A grup of jenarals inishietid a coo", it's easy enough

That's not a pronunciation difference though. Almost all english dialects and regional accents pronounce that word very similarly. It's just an introduced spelling difference for aesthetics.

Agreed. I really enjoy both acid and shrooms, but beyond appreciating the fractal beauty of trees and the patterns in carpets a bit more I wouldn't describe them as anything life-changing, let alone some kind of spiritual awakening. MD

I agree with your point, but food stamps can be used to buy drugs and alcohol... Buyer generally pays ~50% cash value. Very common for addicts to hand the EBT card over to dealer on the 3rd, but the vast majority receiving assistance use it

They don't have to read the whole thing. Excerpts or specific pages/sections, presented under the guidance of an experienced teacher or mentor, are perfectly digestible. The instruction description pages are the best documentation

It's relatively common is university CS courses to build a compiler after the basic intro and architecture courses. It's one of the simpler projects (yes, really, compilers are rather simple, optimization is the hard part) that in

They will be disabused of any of those notions simply by reading the relevant portions of the architecture handbook. In a pedagogical environment that's very simple to arrange.

It's just as straightforward as in higher level languages, just not quite as interactive as interpreted languages, but I've never seen an "intro to programming" that started in a REPL even when using an interpreted langu

After learning asm, teach compilers and have them think about how to generate code stupidly, then think about how to generate efficient code. If you don't want people thinking about the stack, just teach them RISC rather than x86.

Why are you comparing LLM's to a human brain? Software should integrate software when solving problems. It's completely reasonable to expect an LLM given a "count lines" problem to just pipe the text through wc -l.

Probable cause is a joke. It's incredibly easy to come up with a suspicion that someone is violating a law. That said, they don't need probable cause to arrest you, just to do so without potential liability. 99+% of people don&#x

Busybox/coreutils/the userspace of your platform are the "standard library". The shell is basically just there for control flow and IO, everything else is just programs on your computer.

If they cite their sources, next time you might just check the sources instead of them, or be able to tell when they're making shit up, or be able to see what they're careful not to say. Hiding the sources and being the middleman

Any definition which lumps drones and airplanes together with swords and muskets is not useful, in my opinion. The last ~100 years are totally different from what came before.

I don't think WWI can be firmly called "modern times" with regards to warfare. It was a notable event in the transition to modern, but the cavalry charges against machine guns and such are reason enough to exclude it.

There's a notable technological divergence between the Roman and the noble - stirrups that make cavalry charges possible. Roman cavalry were usually lightly armed and armored and had a very different function on the battlefield.
