Based on the image with the reflection, the photographer is probably closer to 12 - so there is indeed a chance they are still alive. The meaning of copyright is changing as these …

Fair enough. Now, can you justify your sentiment ? Which was what I asked about? (Or is it more fun to just cycle around in indifferent ontological ramblings?) Answer to the edit: …

Common source, great! First, you seems to conflate "free markets" (Whatever free means here?) with decentralized spending. How does that make sense? And more importantly: If we can…

Numbers do lie - it would be nice to have a breakdown of this. Maybe the difference, 16% points, is what affords the European a fair treatment upon illness where half of that is "s…

> The first duty of your documentation is to be complete and correct. It is probably unrealistic to expect documentation to be complete as it is not clear where the border on inclu…

In the world predating didn't have single factories serving hundreds of millions of people - such a concentration of risk very much merits a FDA. It is all about risk. FDA enables …

There is a concept I'd recommend you to get familiar with: Systemic risk. Nobody really cares about you and your sandwich. But whenever we introduce single point of risk into the s…

Yep, let's wing serving 400 million sandwiches - whatever the risk that the US population dies of salmonella or listeria. Anyways, one of the things about growing up is realizing t…

Why shouldn't it apply to larger contracts? There is a very easy way to get around such a requirement from legislation: Just call it licensing instead of a purchase. The need for s…

That is wrong - while you need the insurance to be eligible, the governments finances most of the unemployment payout. It is a hybrid model. The insurance premium is also entirely …

We have this in Denmark where you can get up to 2 years of unemployment benefit - also when you quit yourself (you will get a one-month quarantine, though). Denmark has a 2.9% unem…

It seems like you fully agree with the parent. I also agree, that the author probably not meant to establish an axiom: The axiom being established, while not having any support rig…

As I wrote, I appreciate that the author wrote it out as they did. It might be reasonable in the context of the article. But fixing it as an axiom just makes the discussion boring …

Sorry, I was too fast to answer to see that.

i am not sure where this comment fits as an answer to my comment. Firstly, do understand that I am not saying that LLMs (or ChatGPT) do understand. I am merely saying that we don't…

There is an immensely strong dogma that, to my best knowledge, is not founded in any science or philosophy: First we must lay down certain axioms (smart word for the common sense/g…

Using types ;)

Of course your code should live up to requirements and be correct, for it to be good - The requirements can also be performance requirements. If you have a list of maximally 10 ele…

I think the critics (myself included) perfectly understood that point. > What they really mean is that good programmers should think ahead and craft their code with an eye minimizi…

Exactly my thoughts. The reason why good code is code that is easy to read, is because products evolve, and so does the code. Suddenly the taxonomy of that enum starts to shift, an…

I still rely heavily on principles acquired from courses on Software Architecture and PL studies as a part of my CS degree - and I can definitely see a difference in how people org…

> in applications requiring accuracy You have it right there. There is a large set of applications that does not require accuracy. These applications will benefit hugely from LLMs.…

This is really nice to see! I asked about that feature almost 2 years ago as we wanted to use Supabase for everything. Unfortunately there were no plans back then to support it, so…

you have many ways you can solve the issues without ristricting free speach. you can ristrict how you can monitize a product - I think the problem would be much smaller if you have…
