Here's a good one for you: "Explain the double slit experiment which way variation" If they say anything about leaving two straight lines, then it fails. Just tried Gemini, and it …

I'll add to that: you are more likely to have a good experience if it has a lot of relevant data that it was trained on. You are also more likely to have a good experience if error…

I'm one of those developers, and I think it makes sense to write documentation for Claude and I have no issues with that. The point of self-documenting code isn't to get rid of the…

While I haven't had this issue with Gmail, I recently got a new computer and the first two weeks for full of moments like this. It's shocking to me how much we've let popups go ram…

The author is definitely not inventing a problem. I ran into this issue at work this month. We were using WPF, which is C# combined with XAML. I needed to call some async code. Fir…

You are correct, grayscale is where every pixel's R = G = B, which for a 24 bit image would include 256 colors.

Kurzgesagt just made a video on it a couple months back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMm-U2pHrXE

There are two types of "brainrot" that are related but not the same. Essentially brainrot is anything that is anti-thinking. The first type of brainrot is what happens when you let…

They really aren't all that different from each other. One is imaginary things that might one day be possible, and the other is imaginary things that won't ever be possible. And ev…

I agree, and one place I've observed this is in quantum physics. The double slit experiment is an experiment where you shine light through two slits, and instead of the expected tw…

My wife is on phase 3. She graduated with a computer science degree in January, and then her dad passed away. The estate was a mess so she ended up spending time figuring that out.…

I agree, but I'd add that it's not just the tech giants who want them to be better than they are, but also non-programmers. IMO LLMs are actually pretty good at writing small scrip…

Here's one: "AI Minecraft Is Beautifully Bizarre" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHJ9jJh0udc

I don't feel threatened at all. Until we have true general AI like we see in the movies, there's no chance that an AI like AlphaCode could design software, and there's no chance th…

I'd say it was because of the nature of two of the three punishments. Taking away money from someone who had won it in a tournament was too far and "firing" casters (banning caster…

The answer to this which makes the most sense to me is that the wave function collapses when the information exists that determines the quantum state. In Schrodinger's cat, this wo…

I don't have experience with it, but I have heard of what you are saying and I believe the technical term for it is "hyperacusis". If you haven't already done so, search that term …

Definitely not the same technique, but at one point I watched a Mario Maker puzzle level someone had uploaded that used part of its own level code as a clue. The trick was that onl…

I very much agree and love how the programming language AutoIt does it. When I was starting out, both C and Java took several frustrating hours to set up (don't get me started on r…

My take on this is that it has some valid points, but is mostly unjustified rants: 1. Versions: Definitely an issue with Python, the v2 to v3 split was a huge mess and is Python's …

I think I can answer this one because it is one of my gripes of Python. The problem isn't that it doesn't copy, rather it is that the = assignment operator specifically doesn't cop…

Sure! I found Solar Fields by looking for Mirror's Edge remixes and stumbled onto whole songs. Solar Fields has several albums, it's a massive group and I think it's just one guy. …

Solar Fields, the group that made the music for the video game Mirror's Edge, is one of my favorite groups for programming.

As someone who is obese and working on it, my suspicion is that it's mostly sugar. If you look at "processed" foods you'll see tons of sugar, which is both very bad and not very fi…

I edited my comment to say title and post. After reading a bit more thoroughly I realized he doesn't blindly use the graph data. But that title on the post is sure misleading! I gu…
