    To be fair, I think a big part of Mercedes' dominance is that they had the best engine and the best driver, two factors that are not under Newey's control. I agree with your other …

    Looks bad, but I wonder whether he got a faulty unit or if it is a widespread problem. It would be odd that Apple and review sites wouldn't pick up on it if it decreases performanc…

    This is evidence that state actors influence the internet, which I think is uncontroversial. However, the specific statement here was that these left-wing communities were the resu…

    Sure. Some readers are convinced by pointless claims, others are more discerning.

    When you make a claim, the burden of proof is on you. Uncovering the fact you have no evidence actually contributes to the discussion in my opinion.

    No. Why would we want to go that route? Such a lawsuit would slow down a ton of work in AI, certainly big language models and DALL-E for example.

    Again, how does that differ from Stack Overflow? Do you go and check whether a given reply belongs to a licensed project? Also, please consider that there is a toggle that allows y…

    I think I still have not understood your argument. Are you saying that you are afraid that AIs will become too powerful and cause unemployment, and therefore we should regulate the…

    This is clear-cut fraud, but it is also not even close to what Copilot or most junior devs are doing.

    I think it's best if we sidestep these big conceptual questions about what cognition or creativity really are. It's hard to find agreement, and perhaps it is not necessary to do so…

    I don't see why that should be the case in this particular scenario, or what benefit is gained from that. Could you elaborate?

    I understand where you are coming from. However, I think you are making the assumption that this person simply copy/pasted some code with no understanding of it, or that this code …

    Comment #31846755

    Kinda, but I think you are imagining something bigger than it is. At least in my experience, it works well for simple stuff like "iterate over x and extract y" or similar queries t…

    If you assigned a task to a junior dev, and he/she used some code from open source projects and Stack Overflow to develop a custom program for the task, would you say that this per…

    No, it doesn't do any of that. However, it does not "copy code" except in marginal use cases, the far more common scenario is that it will suggest you very basic code that is akin …

    Comment #31846663

    I disagree. Copilot is selling content-aware code suggestions, which is a result of code that other people wrote in their platform, and which in no way affects the work of these pe…

    That's certainly very nice, but I'm sure you can appreciate the complexity involved here. I would need to compile this and have CUDA properly configured on Linux, or have no CUDA s…
