Oh man, that's a blast from the past, I think I had that book! Was that the one with an aluminum cover?

I haven't read much of Shakespeare, but the lightbulb moment for me personally was the 1996 "Romeo + Juliet" movie with DiCaprio. The modern contextualization makes it so much easi…

In fact, a combination of the two is likely to be even more effective. As another commenter mentioned, heuristic-based analysis can generate false positives, but that's less of a p…

I was gonna post this! I actually kept it bookmarked front and center, and have checked in for awhile. It seems that the agent has been blocked this whole time, waiting for its cre…

And NTP, if I recall correctly.

To be fair, the phrase "begging the question" makes almost no sense from a modern English perspective- according to Wikipedia, it's already a bad translation of a Latin phrase that…

An article posted elsewhere in the comments ( https://www.theargumentmag.com/p/illiteracy-is-a-policy-choi... ) has a take that might explain a distinction: > Billions of dollars a…

He does mention at one point that sometime soon it won't be necessary: > Note: This step will become much easier and concise when the sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions …

Not to dispute too strongly (since I haven't used this functionality myself), but Node.js does have support for true multithreading since v12: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/a…

Even though LLMs (obviously (to me)) don't have feelings, anthropomorphization is a helluva drug, and I'd be worried about whether a system that can produce distress-like responses…

Similar here. My last name is pretty unusual, but my first name is common, so I generally go by my last name with friends and colleagues. Oddly, I've gotten so used to this that it…
