You can't forget what you never knew. Nobody's paying attention and nobody cares. If you disagree, then explain how we got here in the first place.

You can actually swipe down starting at the bottom third of the screen, and the top of the screen will move down so you can reach it with one hand.

Nice! So it looks like polymorphism is done via C++ template-style ad-hoc polymorphism? Are there any restrictions on it? Also, is there any kind of sophisticated pattern matching? I feel like for me a language without pattern matching is a

The analogy falls apart because calculating isn't math. Calculating is more like spelling, while math is more akin to writing. Writing and math are creative, spelling and calculating are not.

I think the shamelessness from Paris Hilton of a different kind than the shamelessness of the 2016 candidate. The former is of the "give them something to hate/gawk at/despise" whereas the latter is a byproduct (first),

Your comment is, strictly speaking, correct, but not very useful, because nobody is saying either of those things. The reality is that 90% of people are totally oblivious to the danger of any technology, and they scorn the 9% who say "

Not sure if someone else has already commented on this, but this is the fate of people who primarily use LLMs to code. They’ll be like second-generation children of immigrants, who can vaguely understand the meaning of their parents’ native

The Rapture isn't doom for the people who believe in it though (except in the lost sense of the word), whereas the AI Apocalypse is, so I'd put it in a different category. And even in that category, I'd say that's a pret

If something is universally true then it shouldn’t have to do with whether you or I can travel at the speed of light. But beside that, you’re incorrect. Energy is not conserved in this universe. See e.g. https://www.preposterousu

Conservation of energy is a useful, widely applicable model, not a universally true law, so I think you proved their point.
