A great way to contradict the claims here about requiring ivy league credentials would be dropping some statistics on acceptances. Curiously nobody - for or against - has done that.

The comments here are giving me a great sense of how often people comment without reading the article. It's a minority, but significant.

If you like this kind of thing, I also migrated from mongodb to postgresql and wrote about it here: https://blog.stuartspence.ca/2023-05-goodbye-mongo.html My post is more technical, with examples and graphs, and less busin

That's not the point being made. However if 10,000 people lose 2000$ due to mysterious market forces, you bet this will contribute to some losing their lives.

That hello world program is brutal. Truly, the language is the first of its kind. Hopefully this helps fleets of developers bring their legacy code (more legacy than most of us can imagine) into a modern stack, and start applying modern SWE

I feel the same way. I think it's useful to think of a database as simply a fast storage and lookup for data. When it starts to run network code or run doom it breaks our expectations. This will confuse people on your team, and confusi

The article was packed with interesting legal details. If you don't like it you can just downvote and move on.

To add to what reaperman said about no existing contract: I can't just send a random stranger an email saying "you agree to give me 50$". There is no existing legal relationship to make that claim. IANAL. However I find that

There's a world of difference between Tucker (dabbles where he's deeply misinformed, "just asking questions" in total safety) and Russian "apologist" journalists who fear for their job and life.

Your infrastructure costs for pirating content are comical. Try to think of how to pirate the cheapest way possible, instead of the most expensive way to prove your point. Probably need a 100 TB SSD to pirate a single movie. And definitely

Good luck making a beautiful "website" 40 years ago. Curious grounds for comparison.

I recently pirated James Bond because the streaming service we pay for screwed up the subtitles. So to be fair to your friends, they may also feel like they like pirating also because it is still more functional and customized. And streamin

Leisure is not poison for the brain. It's required. Like anything else, everything in moderation.

Lots of internet commentary on this already, but in my personal experience there are many BIPOC or LGBT or female characters that are undeveloped and lacking any tragic flaws.

> no one likes making slides. I'm not sure about that. I think there's a lot of people who actually like frequent long meetings and bad slides. That's why we have them everywhere. The rest is groupthink. I agree your use c

Because it's still AI. If I write a simple program "if black, no scholarship" it should still face the same regulations as the latest LLM evaluating scholarships.

My AI sandbox game https://www.chesscraft.ca helped me get a great transfer within government to an AI prototyping team at Environment Canada. The job is a bit of a unicorn because it's full remote with tons of freedom.

> creators actually get paid Until I see a report of exactly how much my monthly fee directly goes to each of my subscribed channels, I'm never going to believe that.

Do you also boycott grocery stores that don't bag your groceries? What about those that don't walk your bags to your car?

It's tough. A vast majority of the time the doctors are right about recovery, and the family is wrong, and optimistic to a delusional degree. It's hard work telling family how bad things really are. Still, if something happens to

By your definition, any software with a bad bug is malware. Next time you propose a definition, try to break it as an adversary as a test.

One way way to put this into perspective is salaries. 200k usd means any game studio with at least 2-4 employees must earn that yearly to break even, so they are affected.

Leaking sensitive data and infringement are separate (tho related) concerns. They may not want to do what you say, even though it's totally infringement safe.
