“You can’t solve programming security problems with more programming.” I think it’s definitely possible to detect “escape” attempts, and to train the model in the first place to respect its directions. It’s just not an actual security probl

Your argument works equally well to show that neither term is just magic incantation, but actually grounded in something.

Same thing here, I think this is really common and the “lack of evidence” as the article tries to frame it is just because it’s so obvious. There is also a lack of peer reviewed studies showing that you can drown in water but that doesn’t m

Some people just don’t get cavities very easily. You are extrapolating from that. Floss. For the love of God, floss. People carry around chronic gum infections in between teeth. Ask me how I know.

The writing is on the wall though, Apple is going to have to let other app stores exist. I think the EU said so already, and I would bet the Brussels effect will make this happen elsewhere.

The null hypothesis is that the cards are drawn from a uniform distribution, and if we only consider land/nonland as categories, it should be pretty straightforward to determine the probability of a sequence of draws under this distrib

I don’t quite understand, why can’t you just determine the probability of a game’s draws and do a regular null hypothesis test?

Codon is very impressive, it feels a lot like Python without being slow like Python. Don’t think of it as a Python compiler, it is its own language. (Esp. re choice of int == i64, this saves SO MUCH computation for the CPU.) I will say thou

Ironically, this app is almost surely the product of procrastination. I had the idea to make this once, then I realized a) just do the thing, b) a literal post-it note solves this and more.

”We’re basically monkeys” is a bad argument when monkeys share child rearing duties IF they have resource abundance, as do other animal species. Pair bonding is a term to search for here, this is a really well-studied question. I again don’

Actually, there are many species who share the burden of child rearing equally. It is often a matter of resource availability, if food is scarce, males become aggressive and patriarchal structures emerge more prominently, and vice versa. Hu

To better understand the intuition here, imagine you spin a really heavy bike wheel on an axle held horizontally between your hands. It would be easy to spin the axle, which is the equivalent of turning the car here. To be clear I’m agreein

That’s right, but it wouldn’t be a very large torque, I don’t think. Especially since the roll is resisted by the spring damped suspension and the sway bar. The resulting force would pitch the car up/down depending on turn direction an

The true insight here is not using XOR, it's sliding the window efficiently. Here is pseudocode not using XOR. members = [0]*len(alphabet) for i in 0...input length: members[input[i-window_size]] = 0 if bounds ok

This is one of those cases where the hyphenation really matters. A Japanese learning app would be an app in or by Japanese for learning things. A Japanese-learning app would be an app for learning Japanese.
