COBOL ? Hurrah! If there’s anything that would improve vibe coding, it’s a “come from“ statement. :P

I think a good analogy would be a cheap, non-medically-approved (but medical style) ultrasound. Maybe it’s marketed as a “novelty”, maybe you have to sign a waiver saying it won’t be used for diagnostic purposes, whatever. You know that i

Teaching is hard and training courses are often terrible. IMO, lessons need to consist of multiple (usually hierarchical) examples of (1) specific thing to learn, (2) high level motivation for doing this thing, (3) specifically when to do

Ah, a man of culture, I see. :) I too settled on 120 characters a few years ago and so far I'm still happy with it. Programming is much more verbose than it was 20 years ago, and accordingly, there's plenty to be said for allowing

I think it’s more just that you’re inside a lot with other people, easing transmission.

Sounds fun, let's do it! Also no discussion of lunar rail guns is complete without a mention of The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress. :)

I’ve long maintained that our actual definition of a “person” is an entity that can accept liability.

Because unless the board explicitly removes them, they’re the ones that will be deciding who gets replaced?

And as a parent you realise that they put those cartoons on so the kids had something to do while you got a bit of a sleep-in for once. ...and to sell toys to those kids while you weren't watching, of course. ;)

Is it really x% of the profits? Most of the investment and financial advising services that I've had pitched to me (although that's not too many, tbh) seem to charge x% of your portfolio, and if their sage advice doesn't crea

I always felt (and my maths teachers agreed) that if I understood something sufficiently to automate it, I’d proved my point and didn’t need to do the rest of the exercises. Edit: Automate in the sense of coding it myself, not in the sense

That second one is about ‘smartphone addiction’ not smartphone use. They don’t even give the number of interviewees with smart phones, presumably because it’s 100%.

How many objects go through our solar state each year? More than 200? Are their trajectories uniformly distributed?

I don’t think this specific approach would wish to well (you’re training the network to answer ‘dunno’ to that question, not to questions it can’t answer) but I think you’ve got the right general idea. I’d try adding an output (or some spec

That’s still way better than being told to take two Panadol and come back in the morning if your symptoms don’t improve. I mean, 99% of the time it’s a seasonal virus and that’s all you could/should do, but 0.1% of the time it’s mening

Why would you keep using an app that you suspect was cynically exploiting your generosity like that? I’d drive every time rather than encourage such behaviour.

So it’s hiding behind social pressure to externalise costs? Which I guess is tipping in general.

Ooh that’s actually a really interesting question. Because you’ve retroactively signaled that you will pay more for priority service? Or that you’re dumb. Needs to be iterated. Incentives depend strongly on population of both drivers and cu

This is an improvement because only the identity provider(s) have your ID, but now you also have a central database of all the age-verification-requiring sites that many people use, along with those peoples’ ID. You could argue that the

Huh? We’re talking work chat, right, with technical content and project specific stuff etc.? I refer to that all the time . I moved work chat from ad-hoc social media onto an internal Mattermost server explicitly for this. And at the time

Oh man, that first capstan drive video was awesome and I kept wondering what he was going to do with it. A lot, apparently! This is so cool. Edit: And yes of course, in hindsight, you don't build a leg unless you're planning to bu
