Are you thinking of TDCommons? https://www.tdcommons.org/

It's not even predictable like dynamite. Sometimes it can blast through a mountain, impressively, the problem is you can't predict which mountain it works on. And other times it ca…

Looks like that was published in 1998, but that's also the year they submitted their patent application for PageRank. So you couldn't use it because they didn't want to risk losing…

As long as LLMs need their users to "engineer" prompts for them to actually work well, clearly LLM-driven development is not exactly equivalent to back-and-forth conversation with …

I think this comparison is interesting because it shows the difference between theory & practice, but it's a little inaccurate. The halting problem being undecidable just implies t…

Not infinite memory, a Turing machine only requires "unbounded" memory, which is a way of saying that it will not run out of memory while running its program with the given input. …

I'll give you that, enforcement of the rules can sometimes fail. But scamming & malware is a global industry, definitely not limited to state-funded actors in those two countries (…

I don't think it does because of the workaround I mentioned upthread.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Isn't app data, photos etc. usually synced with the Google account? Besides, Google claims that the scammers are using social engineering to create a feeling of panic and urgency, …

Users don't have to wait 24 hours because Google Play store already has registered developers. Scammers can be held liable when Google knows who the developer of the malicious app …

Well maybe nothing ultimately changes. Maybe we end up in a world where Android users have to wait 24 hours to change a setting so that their devices will install any apps they wan…

I don't think it's fair to extend the analogy to what amounts to censorship of websites since that's not the system they're proposing. Also isn't the owner of a website already ide…

It's a little inconvenient for someone setting up a new phone to have to wait a full day to install unregistered apps. But while I can't speak for others, it's a price I'm personal…

Google has a library of millions of scanned books from their Google Books project that started in 2004. I think we have reason to believe that there are more than a few books about…

They said it builds Linux 6.9, maybe you are trying to compile a newer version there?

> this isn't just a matter of teasing out the compressed C compiler written in Rust that's already on the internet (where?) A quick search brings up several C compilers written in …

Their section on "Dataset limitations" says that the study "Only captures bugs with Fixes: tags (~28% of fix commits)." Just worth noting that it is a significant extrapolation fro…

Interesting. Could you elaborate? Is there a specific reason that it doesn't do 100% of the work already?
