But how do you know whether a JSON string is a pointer to static data (like in the example with the `main` function) or was dynamically allocated? The same goes for arrays and objects.

My comment wasn't meant as an attack on you, on the contrary. I think we agree on your points. I find it absurd that one can be pro gun control but then be selective about what kind of gun violence it's meant to reduce.

That could be motivation if one doesn't mind absurdity, like “gun control yes, but you're exempt if you pinky-promise you only shoot <people-I-don't-like>”.

This whole area is so drenched in bullshit, it's no wonder that the generation of BS and fluff is still the most productive use. Just nothing where reliable facts matter. I do believe that machines can vomit crap 10x as fast as human

The Schwarzschild radius is 2 G M / c^2. When we assume the cutoff mass of 1.4e14 kg, then the Schwarzschild radius would be 103.966e-15 m ≈ 104 femtometers. A hydrogen atom has a radius of ~ 53e-12 m.

The most interesting aspect of all this “AI” craze is how it plays into people's forgotten wishes to believe in miracles again. I have never seen anything else that exposes this desire so conspicuously. And of course all the shrewd o
