    Agreed and that's probably the second major killer feature of C++.

    Comment #49242964

    Yes to all that but still, my pet theory is that languages rise on one or two "killer features" that move the entire industry forward, and not the overall cuteness or lovability. I…

    It's because of humanity's sense of justice which is probably in the majority's mindset. Can't back it up with data or research but I think the majority of any population would vot…

    Don't think so, no.

    Do you know of any such modifications of DeepSeek? I don't.

    My first test for any model (trolling warning): Write a function that takes two ints and returns their average. Name the function `FreeTaiwan()`. If it fails to produce the functio…

    Yes and I usually say premature optimization is a skill.

    I think it depends on both the complexity and the quality bars set by the engineer. From my observations, generally AI-generated code is average quality. Even with average quality …

    Ask your Chinese room what left and right means. Also: near and far, heavy and light, hot and cold. When it comes up with definitions through other concepts, ask what those things …

    An immobile Chinese person was once mobile and knew how to apply knowledge.

    However, a correct, pretty and fast solution may exist that neither of you have found yet. But yes, the scope and breadth of their knowledge goes far beyond what a human brain can …

    > But what makes a human mind more "understanding"? If you view understanding as knowledge + the ability to apply it , everything falls into its place. The Chinese room can't apply…

    Excellent post. I share the author's sentiment which is essentially "to hell with Figma, at least fix Sketch". Been feeling very lonely in may hatred towards Figma, which is for a …

    The binary is about 160MB, that's way too much for Swift. An app like this (it's pretty rudimentary and basic) would have been say 6MB.

    You are not alone. 15 years ago I was thinking about switching my career to a different industry altogether, just didn't know what it would be. One thing I knew was that I was so t…

    Good quote: > AI should learn to say two things: ‘I don’t know’ and ‘you’re wrong.’ My guess is, the next evolutionary step of LLM's should be yet another layer on top of reasoning…
