It wasn't. The main purpose of the original space race was to develop capabilities to put satellites in orbit and to be able to deliver nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles, which both countries considered (rightly or wrongly) to be

I know how alternatives work, and they are not used to make packages with the same named binaries drop in replacements. They are used to make packages with differently named binaries able to implement standard shell commands. There is no ne

Oh my stars are you actually saying viral story telling is not "real" work? I'm outraged! But seriously (and I can't see linkedin), it sounds like the qualification is most relevant in response to the comment the OP made

The same acronym is underhanded. And it's entirely possible to use different software names for projects that implement a compatible API or service, the claim that it's for compatibility is pretty bogus. It's not "standa

It is one sided, by definition. However creating a fork with the same acronym and name for the daemon or binaries or whatever seems pretty under-handed. Was a release announcement for the original software moderated, on a list where release

What is the problem if they could be translated to a working chip? A C program contains no instructions the machine can use and yet you can compile an open source program with a closed source compiler.

Corporations are absolutely involved in oppressing people at the behest of government or other ruling class, yes. If you were deluded into thinking otherwise. You're okay if the government privatizes certain "problematic" se

So, you want to teach your kid all kinds of hateful weird cult theories from a young age. That's incredibly weird and almost nobody else would think that's a good idea, so I really can't see how you can possibly think you can

"Let me monitor and censor your private speech otherwise you won't be able to communicate with your friends and family on our platform they all use." The apologetics for corporate-government fascism digust me. No, it's n

I hear lots of amazing sounds (and accompanying self congratulation) from the EU when it comes to "human rights". Time and time again though, they prove they're not actually interested in human rights or interests of their ow

If you were that concerned exactly following the rules that change on a daily basis and are so difficult to decipher, why would you trust a journalist to get it right for you? What country, by the way, I'd like to see these crazy rules

What were the remaining reasons to paint realism after relatively cheap color photography came about ~100 years ago and before the iPad was made, out of curiosity?

I'm not being glib here, how do you link 9/11 and Covid regulations and Berlin wall to really needing to pay attention to the news? Check your government website if you want to know what the regulations are today, or check your ai

Syria was a half-hearted involvement? So sponsoring insurgencies to destabilize a sovereign country would have been good if only the government was also toppled? Iraq? The whole ISIS genocide rape torture destruction and blood letting thing

So even if we ignore for a minute that software can have warranties... having a warranty? Really? That's what you're going try to say means software development is not an engineering discipline? You could have just accepted my arg

It's jibberish and not impressive in the slightest. This is roughly the state of the art in "AI". It can't even write one single coherent short paragraph. Not even after having 800GB of coherent paragraphs to look at and

You didn't really address what I wrote though. And I disagree, it does fit the pattern which is what my whole rant was about. You seem to have a romanticized idea of what "real" engineers do as well. A _lot_ of it involves so

That's jibberish though. Is the bar for good "AI" still that it frequently writes sentences that, in isolation, could pass as coherent writing but string a couple together and it's a train wreck?

It seems to have a lot of incredibly ill defined, unscientific, unproven, and frankly racist and divisive ideas if you ask me. Any criticism or request for evidence, logic, or results is met with wildly disproportionate reactions from bully

No it's not. Engineering does not mean proving a design against a model, although that can be part of engineering (and software has formal proving methods, I might add). Physical engineering projects are not mathematically proven eithe
