Maybe they should just improve their product to make it more resiliant, rather than blaming customers for thinking that 148 V is below 150 V? Not everybody buying these has a Ph.D. in physics and if it says 148 V on the label and 150 V on t

Misleading title. I was expecting to read about why devs actually embrace type hints. What the article is about is why you should and how you can use type hints. That's valuable, but different from what the title suggests. Besides, the

Sure. The top 100 domains with that TLD still have little to do with Anguilla.

And if you ask one of those medics 5 years later to solve one, the response might make you depressed. (Or just 4 weeks after their maths exam.)

Already the title of your submission does not check out. Do you know how many clock cycles a 1 GHz CPU realizes in one nanosecond? One. Just reading the input argument of a function takes a "nanosecond-scale" amount of time. >

My claims: 1. LLMs are widely called "intelligent". Evidence for my claim: The term "artificial intelligence" that is used everywhere. It has its own TLD. 2. There is no evidence that this terminology is applicable. Ques

Did you read my post? The claim is "LLMs are intelligent". And instead if requiring evidence for that, apparently most folks (including you) are fine with just accepting that claim and require evidence if somebody questions this.

That's underestimating human intelligence. Even low-IQ humans can in principle learn how to use Lean to represent a multivariate system. It might take a while, but in principle their brain is capable of that feat. In contrast, no m

Kids hardly know what a multivariate equation is. Unless you use "kid" to denote 20-year old college students enrolled in a math program which some people do. The other claim is doubtful too: > while it require an experienced e

> Objective fact and "more likely" do not match well. Huh? If I take a die and paint a 6 on the sides which previously had 4 and 5 then it is an objective fact that you will be more likely to roll a 6 than a 1 with that die.

Indeed. But they typically are contingent on a certain number of views. If adblockers cause that stat to go down, then you get the opposite of what you are aiming to achieve: the user will see the "message from our sponsor" but th

And you my friend are demonstrating why this keeps being used. It's so common that now generations of devs and designers are so used to it that they don't see anything wrong. And if on the phone with grandma, instructing her to go

Key word: "directly" It does so indirectly, so it's a true albeit misleading statement.

That the blockchain bros are surprised that Trump is not acting in their interest is itself surprising, even though it shouldn't. 3-level meta-surprising, so to say.

What would really make an impact would be to work towards making that IT dept. functional, efficient even. That's what a true leader would do, but you are clearly disincentivised from doing it since it would upend your cushy sitiatio
