But it was a severance agreement. She accepted a sum of money for agreeing to not disparage. You don't see anything wrong with someone knowingly accepting these funds, and then turning around and immediately violating the agreement b

If I know anything about the Python community - that new runtime would simply never gain significant traction, due to the incompatibility.

This is (no offense) intellectually dishonest. Nobody wants the risk to be zero. What we want is that, if there is a specific KNOWN flaw in a life-critical system, that the flaw is addressed and the shuttle re-tested before humans are place

You're reading something into my comment which isn't there. Hard to say what it is, but it's causing me to not really understand what you're talking about, at this point. Maybe you thought I was disparaging Vietnam for d

Parent commenter is making a joke about the fact that, in the title "SpaceX Files to Go Public", the word "Files" could be read as either a noun or a verb.

I'm not talking about a foreign invasion on us, I'm talking about invading the foreigners (in this case, Iran).

You can have user-defined operators with plain old recursive descent. Consider if you had functions called parse_user_ops_precedence_1, parse_user_ops_precedence_2, etc. These would simply take a table of user-defined operators as an argume

Well, regardless of technology, the space of things you can accomplish without risking your own troops' lives is very small. (Unless you're willing to go nuclear, which has the pesky downside of ending the world.) To put it in per

well yeah I wasn't even talking about professional use, since I think in professional use cases it will turn out make a lot more sense to set up APIs that AIs, use, than to set up screen scraping and mouse+keyboard use. in fact even in

AI (that is, plain chat) is always going to be free to use as well. Google and Microsoft are going to keep it that way. And make the money back via ads. That's why ChatGPT still has a free option. If they didn't, they would lose a

tbh I don't think this use case is going to be as big as people seem to think there are a lot of reasons, but in brief - I think AI desktop use is a product that the average person isn't going to get much value out of. to make an

Even if there were, it wouldn't be very useful. In a "common law" system like the US, legal questions are rarely answered purely by the plain text of a law. You also need case law - that is, how the law is typically applied i

I don't see this as a "modern" vs "back in the day" thing. The real reason many software orgs nowadays don't have QA is for the simple reason that it's slow. Everything in the consumer tech space is about

There's plenty of results in math and physics that are true, in the sense that the math checks out, but are useless, in the sense that the authors claim they've made a breakthrough, but actually they've just tweaked a few par

I still don't see what the big deal is. If LLMs are (or become) all they're cracked up to be, it shouldn't matter whether someone "learns to use the tools" today or tomorrow or five years from now. In fact they shou

tbh this sounds revisionist... I don't recall anyone saying that any of those services "wouldn't work". Uber I suppose is one where people thought they might run into regulatory problems, and with some of those companies

Most people complaining about uptime aren't free users or open-source developers. It's people whose companies are enterprise GitHub customers. It's a real problem and affects productivity.

No, because in those cases you're still a user of gmail. When you tell people your email address, or send people email, and it contains "@gmail.com", you're still implicitly advertising for Google. From Google's per

I wouldn't even call this a Turing test, in the traditional sense. This commenter claims to have recently read several papers on this topic, and I'm curious what papers those are. If these papers don't exist, this commenter&#

I don't think the quote itself is responsible for any of that. It's true that premature optimization (that is, optimization before you've measured the software and determined whether the optimization is going to make any real
