Yes, it changes the nature of the work. Back when you started coding there were people experiencing the same thing about shifting to higher level languages. What some of them liked was the efficency and aesthetic of…
If the AI is good enough to truly implement the whole thing to a similar level of reliability without copying it then who cares. At that point you should be able to decompile any program you want and find enough…
That's assuming you won't need anyone to manage the purchased software platform and its integrations and that you need a full time engineer to maintain your version.
Could you clarify exactly what you think is an illegal tie-in? Because it seems like what you are upset about is literally the opposite -- Anthropic unbundling their offerings so you aren't required to buy the ability…
I guess I don't even really understand the objection. That's how ALL mathematics works. You specify some axioms or a construction and then reason about objects that satisfy those constraints. Some of them like the…
Whoever wrote this just doesn't understand who apple's main customers really are. Yes, devs may be a high impact customer base but most of apple's customers are people like my mom who struggles with the difference…
What is the usecase for using ssh at all where you don't need to be resistant against timing analysis? Either it's not sensitive and you can use telnet (if necessary after using ssh to authenticate) or the game (or…
Lots of the real world vulnerabilities out there exist exactly because of people choosing to support a range of crypto algorithms. Sure, if it's an internal tool you can recompile both ends and force a universal update.…
To clarify the point in the other reply -- imagine it sent one packet per keystroke. Now anyone sitting on the network gets a rough measurement of the delay between your keystrokes. If you are entering a password for…
I couldn't think of something worse than demanding Amazon decide what is counterfeit or violates regulations and policing that rule. The law on both those points is far too complex for the result to be anything but…
That gets a bit tricky in terms of what you mean by valid programs. I presume what you mean is that you can't write a compiler that accepts every function which always returns the borrowed reference and reject every…
There is no inherent benefit in going and expressing that fact in a type. There are two potential concerns: 1) You think this state is impossible but you've made a mistake. In this case you want to make the problem as…
It is worth remembering that before artificial lighting the normal sleep pattern is to sleep in two segments and get up in the middle to have sex, talk, do some chores, change the baby etc. And I believe a normal sleep…
Some of the happiest and most satisfied people I know are academics who work 80+ hours a week because they love what they do. You don't need to sacrifice health to work more than 50 hours a week. And realistically there…
I really enjoyed the video but I think it can be a bit misleading. It gives the impression that it is the universal approximation property that make neural nets so effective when, of course, the learning algorithm:…
This is a problem that can only be fixed by legislation. Other things being equal DRM that's convenient for the vast majority increases book sales and consumers aren't willing to pay enough more for DRM free books to…
The government can invoke the Sherman antitrust act and other laws. YOU can't (at least not generally).
Maybe I'm missing something, but seems pretty brittle to me. From what I can tell, since the decryption key is entirely derived from the information in the PSP header (SA/SPI) a bad actor who observes PSP encrypted…
I'd like to see a charity that retrospectively sends people like this cash. Creating both the sense that you'll be financially and socially rewarded for this kind of brave action would do a lot to make the world better.
Damn't I didn't mean compact connected. I meant that if you have a convex region you can extend it. Obviously, non-convex regions can raise problems (e.g. maybe tropical rainforest can't transition to tundra in the…
I don't get the worry about the NP complete problem of tiling a finite area. Yes, of course, if you allow arbitrary adjacency rules then tiling is going to be NP complete but the goal here is to generate realistic…
Which is exactly why you wouldn't waste time signing a useless quote. Just sign a message attesting that YOUR NAME is satoshi. No more work. Done once.
Umm, he obviously does. Money, fame and influence over future bitcoin decisions. Imagine your Satoshi and you need cash for some reason. Reveal your identity and immediately get a bunch of offers for book deals and…
Umm why? For the most part a professor is a talking text book that stands in front of the class. You can go download charismatic people with fancy approaches to the material online. However, I don't think this really…
Should departments have standards they expect their lecturers to enforce? People would actively welcome new approaches to teaching math. It's fucking frustrating not getting through to your students or having them…
