Once the longer number starts repeating digits, then it's not n^2 anymore. Multiplies get replaced with lookups. And we're only counting the multiplies. That's all they counted in …

No, that's taken into account.

Ok, maybe I don't understand the problem, but it seems obvious that it should never be greater than O(min(n1, n2) * 10), where n1 and n2 are the lengths in digits of each argument,…

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but how can we reach a human at Facebook to plead a case? Our small Indiana county has a Facebook group. Local news is limited here, s…

I'm wondering how many millions in developer productivity are being lost every minute.

It's not clear to me whether Anthropic's limitations are technical or merely contractual. Is Anthropic actually putting the limitations in their prompts, so that the model would re…

This looks great, but it's not clear to me how to use it for a practical task. I need to transcribe about 10 years worth of monthly meetings. These are government hearings with a v…

178 billion? That's nothing. I did trillions just this morning. I went to the grocery store and picked an item off the shelf, effectively filtering out the trillions of other produ…

The performance hit you take for doing dynamic dispatch is real and measurable. It's a no-go if you're in a performance sensitive part of your app.

They do pay taxes. They each pay personal income tax on their $100k.

Is there a paper or some other explanation of what they're doing under the hood?

The issue in this case is being tested in other cases. It's about the "third party doctrine", the theory that the fourth amendment does not cover our information if it is in the po…

Oddly, I thought this discussion would be about actual toddlers. There is a way to win an argument with a toddler. You find out what's bothering them, usually something emotional, …

How do you place a value on aesthetics? Or driver distraction? Or the irritation I feel when I see 50 billboards for cannabis every time I drive down the road near my house?

I know very little about this, but a little googling suggests that the measure you're looking for is entropy, which has a mathematical definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ent…

I wonder if it would have been possible to win the challenge legitimately? If a randomly-generated file happened to contain some redundancy through sheer chance, you could hand-cra…

Yup, this works. I did not think to click "Digital Services" because this has nothing to do with digital services. But it does get you to the chat.
