    > I think there is a section of programmer who actually do like the actual typing of letters, numbers and special characters into a computer... This sounds like an alien trying and…

    As a lay person, huh, that's something you don't think about. But still even if that were true, I don't see how society, patients and their caretakers will accept high risk patient…

    Imagine if someone did that. "Hey, sorry I'm not here for a haircut. The other day when you were brushing my hair, I just thought it was really erotic and I wanted to apologize." T…

    Naturally, I'm a dev. Could it be something to do with limited genetic storage being dedicated to software instead of coding for hardware capabilities? In my limited knowledge, inc…

    Won't this just become the fitness function for training future models?

    I asked around and a few people seem to have no problem "visualizing" tastes and smells, especially for common ones. I can imagine sense of touch too, I just assumed it's normal to…

    Do you have an inner monologue? If you can hear your inner voice, you'll know that your inner voice is less of a voice and more of a speaker that can play anything you like. The on…

    Aphantasia might occur with other senses too. I'm almost certain I have aphantasia in taste and smells. I simply cannot conjure any in my head, even for extremely common ones like …

    I found the 40 and 50 algorithms book from the same publisher at a library, most of it was machine learning algorithms though.

    So what is the takeaway from this? It isn't even the expectation of winning money that keeps people in casinos, just the dopamine hit from a slot machine itself? They would've play…

    Because AoC has a leaderboard? Whenever you have a leaderboard of any kind, there will be people trying to get up there. It's also likely that a lot of AI users will be skilled dev…

    In school, they used to teach us about the atomic structure of metals being an orderly lattice. Being an orderly lattice, if two pieces of metals were in contact with each other, t…

    But if researchers say there isn't enough evidence, where will the average consumer turn to to "do more research"? That's where the shady pseudoscience advertising articles come in…

    Which follows that the final frontier of ad blocking are AR glasses that use machine learning and AI to block light from ads from reaching your eyes?

    Not really though. The impact of the API issue being protested hasn't even occured yet. It'll be up to individuals tomorrow to cope with the objectively worse experience of browing…

    Yesterday, I wanted to write a comment on a programming sub with some advice. But I decided not to because I ain't training reddit's AI product. This has happened repeatedly the la…

    Btw, how do any of these work for people with glasses? My vision is too bad to survive without them and I'm sure half the city dwellers around me are too.

    By the way, I realized that sprintf can be used to concatenate by using the buffer within the formatting itself, while snprintf prevents it. Is it a safety issue too? strcpy(buf, "…
