People spent considerable amount of effort developing systems that separate contents from styles (latex, html/css, etc). And with Python people think it’s a good idea to encode con…

What's your suggestion then? For China to reduce its population by 3/4 (wasn't China heavily criticized for enforcing birth-control?), or to acknowledge that Chinese citizens (or t…

True browser-centric digital gurus don't restart their computer unless there is a power cut. They also don't shutdown their browser either.

I think they meant there is only one syllable per character.

> Japanese has a lot of compound words of Chinese origin, where two or more kanji appear as a set. In the original Chinese language, a "word" mostly consists of a single character.…

Except that a weather forecasting model can't experiment on weather, but a LLM system may be designed to be able to perform experiments and take feedbacks?

Excellent, Python is officially my favourite language now!

How about allowing non-indentation-defined code blocks? Say, by wrapping a block of code with {}?

It's salami bait and switch.

This is somewhat expected to be honest. I am rather pessimistic on the future solutions to such issues though. I can see only one possibility going forward: camera sensor manufactu…

I am afraid there are no such thing as "friends" when it comes to international politics...

Gangs also offer to "defend" local businesses from other gangs.

What I meant to say is that most people can only verify an algorithm is correct if they already know the correct solution. If they already know the answer then it’s probably more e…

If you need AI to help you program an algorithm, then you shouldn't be using it because you can't tell if AI's solution is correct. If you can tell if a solution is correct or not …

I feel Java deserves better. When Python finally gets true thread concurrency, JIT (mamba and the like), comprehensive static analysis (type hints), and some sophisticated GC, and …

Or they could mean "used by engineers who work at Google (for their non-work related projects)"?

> It's fascinating to me that the complexity of life always goes up. I feel this is only the case because the ecosystem keeps receiving useful/low-entropy energy inputs from the Su…

Just be patient. It takes some time for academic influencers to start jumping on the bandwagon.

__lack__ evidence sounds like you have already made up you mind but is just searching for confirmation. I'd say a better expression would be "we don't know yet whether ...", e.g.: …

> claiming "there's no evidence that happened" is nonsense - you just heard the evidence, and any reasonable person would conclude you did. I am not sure about that. If someone cla…

We are talking about different kind of evidence here. There are two sense entries under the word "evidence" per Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary[1]: 1. the facts, signs or obje…

That's not how logic works. The equivalent statement is "extraordinary evidence doesn't necessarily imply extraordinary claims".

I would argue that true evidence (for a claim) can be defined as such piece of information that, when a third party is invited to examine it, they would arrive at the same conclusi…

I'd say the difference is pretty simple: true evidence needs to be verifiable. Scientific studies provide evidence by describing the experiments/procedures needed to reproduce its …
