    Representing anyone in a court room by definition carries liability risks, because the judge can punish the lawyer unilaterally, but not the AI.

    If errors of over half a typical screwhole width are so common, why has it never been noticed before and reported on? That seems literally impossible to not notice for years on end…

    I don’t see how that helps? A lawyer isn’t going to sign on to take liability risk unless they spend quite a lot of time analyzing the AI’s outputs for possible blunders? So it str…

    Spec committees arent rigid automatons, they can clearly decide on say USB Type C-123 for practical implementation if they chose to.

    Obviously there is some latent risk in choosing a career anywhere, that the demand disappears. There can’t literally be zero risk of structural demand changes.

    So? Is there a hard limit on just one “Type” in the formal name?

    Why not just USB-C Type 123? That allows for 999 possible permutations of usb-c cables.

    This seems to be circular. Wouldn’t anyone need some reading “taste” in the first place to decide to read more. And if they already have it, why would they need to read it? If it’s…

    Then why tack on some gibberish? Just for the heck of it? Frankly, I simply don’t believe in your genuineness enough to care about satisfying any requests.

    I’m not trying to prove anything…? I just don’t care that much either way about what others think if it’s adversarial, even if thousands of HN users come to this comment chain to o…

    Why would Cloudflare want to lose credibility and reputation though? Doesnt seem to make sense.

    Uh are you confused? I’m not the one claiming they refuse to test it, they are the ones who said so.

    How did that compare to the big firms? HPE, Dell, and so on.

    If you dont ever intend to do any testing… then why would anyone care about what you believe or not? Why post random noise opining?

    If you dont believe me… nobody is stopping you from testing various things on the same model? And if you dont have it already… then what could I possibly say that would motivate yo…

    My base 2019 macbook pro 15 on Mojave is actually faster than new macbook pros today on some tasks. There’s no way Apple doesn’t know about that internally. So I don’t see any othe…

    Many people seemingly have trouble grasping that baselines can shift. And then they get into mental contortions as to why getting 2x or 3x better in an absolute sense doesn’t budge…

    This is such a bizarre decision that I’m curious who in the org chart made the call.

    Isn’t it very ironic to post this under a pseudonym? Which by definition contains some signalling that deviates from WYSIWYG.

    The real curious thing is serious C/C++ folks seem like one of the least likely groups imaginable, to want to undergo humiliating and embarrassing blunders… Yet they seemingly don’…

    Is this AI written? I didn’t accuse you of downvoting. It’s literally not possible for HN users to downvote the comment they reply to. Anyone with seemingly over 10k karma would kn…

    Hmmm, so it sounds like the root cause isn’t really about “speed” at all… but something else? For example, someone in a meeting saying things lacking credibility and everyone else …
