Ah yes, smuggling lung cancer. How romantic.

It's not always "market forces". Case in point: state sponsored hackers and trolls. What speaks against market forces here is that "the collapse of Near Eastern civilizations in 1177 BCE" is not really a profitable

What makes this extra scummy is this: “If customers were to right now terminate their contract, the new data contribution settings will not apply to them as these will not be enforced until August 17, 2026,” (from https://www.the

From what I understood at [1], Context.ai users "enable AI agents to perform actions across their external applications, facilitated via another 3rd-party service." I.e., it's designed to get someone's OAuth token and us

Then again, there are 100 billion highly interconnected neurons without a CEO, a CFO, a CTO, a COO, etc. Thinking that from 50, 500 or even 5000 barely connected people with exterior motivation some higher intelligence can emerge is naive.

That's an Ayn Rand type black and white view of society. Not so long ago, companies were supposed to (and many did) care for continuity, in a broad sense: survival, labor, customer, and product. Nowadays, you would add environment too.

Easier has more than one dimension (speed, error rate, recall, precision, cognitive load), but the baseline for generic statements is not one particular, very rare task. That's anecdote. And in this case, the statement was about recogn

Odd, but for future discussions: it's nor a premise, nor a dichotomy, but a judgement. A premise would be something like: bad medical advice is bad. A dichotomy would be: Gemma can offer no medical advice or bad medical advice. It then

I don't quite get why you feel so strongly about it that this should be a deal breaker for everyone. It's really much better than a wrong answer, for everyone.

It is. This is fairly significant. Congratulations to the Hungarian people.

That's what I tend to do too, but sometimes space requirements win. But of course, a good design is adapted to its user: frequent/infrequent is an important dimension, as is the time willing to learn the UI. E.g., many (semi) pro

I am pretty sure icons are easier and faster to recognize, except when you make them (too) small. In particular, they probably are easier in the long run, as long as they don't change position. But in a context where things change or y

That's a good way to guarantee nobody will use it. Who is going to test the app in a sandbox with godknowswhat kind of tooling needed to find malicious behavior and read the code? For a tool that's convenient once per decade?

As long as you exclude defers in a loop, this can be done statically: count the maximum number of defers in a function, and add an array of that size + counter at the function entrance. That would make it a strict subset.

> The savings there would be negligible (in modern terms) A word of praise for Go: it is pretty performant, while using very little memory. I inherited a few Django apps, and each thread just grows to 1GB. Running something like celery q

Your comment is obviously against the rules, but I read it as: Why are people not more careful? This is some unknown, app, with unknown, unvetted depths, and you only like it because other people say it's shiny and AI. It made you gidd

It's CYA. Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM, the old saying went. And it was true. Perhaps they should have, but they weren't. Nowadays, Oracle and MS have taken that position. They have the "share of mind," a PR conc

Education research is really low quality. Like so many other fields in social sciences, the results rarely generalize beyond the direct findings, and only support the hypotheses in the mildest way. It cannot robustly guide decision making.

Why do you think children will learn anything from a remark on a specific problem? If it were that simple, teaching would be easy. (Notice that teaching smart kids is easy). Much of education requires making errors until you get it right

He wasn't happy with the Bolero, and it certainly wasn't his best work. The piano concerto in G was also late, and that's definitely better. I didn't know about the head trauma.

The best works of Bach and Beethoven are from later in their life, although neither lived to be 85 (65 and 57, respectively), and also wrote great works in their younger years. Bruckner kept improving with age. There are also composers who
