Do you also think that primary school students should not be taught, say, multiplication? Because they can, of course, use a calculator. No need to ask them what 3 times 4 is.

For your convenience, here is the list of NP-complete problems where "AI" works better than the state of the art in the worst case:.

Having some experience in this field, I can say that all of the tools presented on the webpage are very lightweight static analyzers. They are all based on processing the syntax tr…

Does anyone know anything about the affiliation of the first author, "Fgemm SPA"?

It does not stop it, but certainly reduces it. What are the dozen ways?

I have just seen someone using such a phone. It looks good, just a tiny bit bulky. Not sure on how it will do long term. My OnePlus has been serving me well for more than 3 years n…

Note that the title is misleading. The issue is lack of seatbelt pre-tensioning, not the size of car. I am surprised manufacturers are not required to have pretensioners.

To those wondering if there will be a successful "marriage" between popular incarnations of AI, like ChatGPT, and FM: no, at least not in the sense you would expect. Sure, ChatGPT …

I would like to point out that such a resource is useful for reference purposes (only). If you want to really understand an algorithm/a data structure, you have got to read it up a…

Could anyone in the know explain how "shorting" works?

I am surprised so many talented engineers went the touchscreen route. Volkswagen, Mercedes and more recently BMW are going this way. In my experience it is not only annoying, it is…

I have an anecdote to offer: in the early 2000s I was learning to drive in a former comunist country. Most cars were Dacia 1310, a copy of 1970s Renaults. The stick was awful, the …

When a field is young, it is simpler to make important discoveries, so in that sense, science is (obviously) getting harder. But most of the graphs can be explained by the sheer nu…

I am skeptical that a book can substitute for a mentor (or teacher) at the start of someone's dive into mathematics. Once you know your basics, sure, go study a book. But by this p…

The internet has become larger. People's attention is more dispersed (additionally, several platforms are actively fighting for their attention by using all tricks in the book). He…

While losing weight, I would not replace it, but simply remove it altogether. Bread is not an essential nutrient (although obviously French baguettes are great tasting). You can ge…

You are probably thinking of F#, not F*. Very different languages.

The key here is "it looks like they are equivalent". In fact, I am not sure they are equivalent (in general, without taking into account the context), and even if they were, provin…

You are probably right regarding speed, but the article is definitely not pointless and bad.

That looks interesting. The code is not simpler to understand nor is it more efficient, but it seems to work, assuming target is in the list. How would you represent the empty list…

To have a truly fair evaluation, you would also need to know all the cases where science has not self-corrected yet.
