I think that’s my point: none of those things happened, so on what basis can we claim that it’s like they did. Who has to agree with what you’re doing in order for it not to be con…

Why isn’t it more like building a hardware store using lumber you purchased from a competing hardware store? Or founding a school using an education you obtained at a different sch…

Pro-tip: if you want to get from A to B without using Google Maps, simply pick a sequence of intermediate points A = a_0, …, a_n = B where each pair of consecutive points aren’t to…

“Nothing ever happens” is like “you can’t beat the market.” It’s basically tautologically the strongest predictive model that we can have. A corollary is that something may happen,…

I don’t know, back in the day you could just buy a newspaper and read it. Now, if you want to read an article you have to pay $20/month to that news organization in perpetuity. I d…

I really only find that story believable if we were to restrict AI development and only allow a small group of people to use it.

If compute isn’t the bottleneck then it wouldn’t make it 100x more expensive to scrape. Of course if it does, then it’ll be effective.

You can’t start policy justifications with “imagine” like that. Maybe if you’re the Beatles.

I hate it when it picks that register. I think it stops if you contradict it more, which he’s not doing.

I only buy certified organic non-GMO rainforest, so save a patch for me before you burn the rest of it down and replace it with a monocrop.

I want to see a binary clock with fourteen hands.

Ooh but then would the AI filter out discussion of itself?

That’s such a strange thing to say. Should we only use things invented in the last 300 years on the 4th of July?

Animations are four-dimensional. Colored animations are seven-dimensional. More if they include surface normals or lighting information. Simple.

Cars kill 40,000 people I just shoot for the tires though.

I don’t know who you’re including in “we”, but since most CEOs are being paid more for their judgment than HN commenters are, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to hold them to higher sta…

I meant about being either evil or stupid. Never mind.

Speak for yourself.

Sadly those of us hoping to learn about making popcorn are forced to look elsewhere.

Wouldn’t any Volkswagen keys need to cross the network to get into the Secure Enclave? Or couldn’t you exploit the Volkswagen app itself?

That’s the answer I found too. With pictures even https://stackoverflow.com/a/662285

Yeah upon looking it up it appears to have nothing to do with the data structure. When they were doing a linear scan to find a large enough free block I was waiting for a heap to c…

I don’t know too much about this, but strictly based on the name I assumed that you should use a heap. Is that not right?
