In what ways do you expect a candidate for MP for Clacton to address the various calamities you mention?

Sadly another shot in the arms race that captchas started which just leads to increased inaccessibility. It's interesting work for sure, but the end goal of separating out AI versu…

A lot of the solutions in the CPU space involve things like memory allocation flags, NX bits, canaries, etc. that fire deterministically. Those things are fundamentally not applica…

This plausibly demonstrates why a nonprofit may not be a great vehicle for some free software projects - while the nonprofit should do whats best for the project, if the main work …

What would be great, and I don't know if @dang / the mods would take on requests like this, would be for bot participants to be allowed but the account flagged. So e.g. the user na…

I think they needed to be clearer about what the actual requirement was. If the requirement is, "Show the balance _as it was_ at that point in time", this system doesn't fulfil it.…

I suspect there is a bit of knee-jerk because so often this pattern is misapplied. I actually quite like the example in the article although I'm basically allergic to CQRS in gener…

Moore's law has kind of ended already though, and maybe has done for a few years, and even if you can make a chip which is faster there's a basic thermodynamics problem running it …

I don't want to sound too dismissive, but all these arguments have been brought up time and again. The move from assembler to high level languages. The introduction of OOP. Compone…

Surely the example can be "obvious" because it's simple/clear. I don't think they're commenting on whether _finding_ the example is obvious...

Sure, but would we really want to tell liquidators to manage assets for best eventual return rather than just convert everything to cash? In this instance, in hindsight, sure - you…

The trustee's reports on FTX's internal processes were damning. Even they had held their Anthropic on the way up, who's to say their internal FTT ledger and black holes in the Alam…

The reason is simple: it allows you to do the install using "sync" in all cases, whether the lockfile exists or not. Where the lockfile doesn't exist, it creates it from whatever c…

Perhaps your content quality meter needs a recalibration?

Agreed. "Dessert" vs "desert" - mistaking these two is often not a grammatical error (they're both nouns), but is a spelling error (they have quite different meanings, and the pers…

The Judges impose the punishment set out in the law; they don't make this stuff up. The alternative is Judges letting people off just because they're politicians. That seems like a…

Within UK dialect there would be some significant differences in many of these words, even ignoring the meddle/mettle examples - farrow/pharaoh is easily distinguishable, too. I wo…

If we think of the 'budget' as being similar to a bandwidth limit on video playback, there's a kind of line below which the picture starts being pretty unintelligible, but for the …

I think you're right about the essential ingredient in this finding, but I feel like this is a pretty ARC-AGI specific result. Each puzzle is kind of a similar format, and the data…

No, it's incorrect and/or badly worded. The author is right that a machine cannot author things, and the stuff that the LLM might create de novo would not have copyright protection…

I'm not sure that's completely true. Having read MS code and starting to generate new code that is heavily inspired - sure, that's not copyright infringement. But, if you had memor…

We don't really know what GPT-4 "is". I remember reading a number of relatively well-informed suggestions that there are a number of a models inside there, and the API being intera…

I think to be clear, brute force generally means an iterative search of a solution space. I don't think that's what this system is doing, and it's not like it's following some sear…

The point of doing the interviews is to ground the product in actual feedback from (potentially) paying customers. This is a make-believe facsimile of that. This is what insights a…

It's not even that: it's a device for non-dermatologists, to decide if they need to make a referral. "Cleared" is definitely the right language here, this might only be a Class 1 m…
