It's beyond that. There's information required to evaluate the current state that is currently unavailable - meaning that the current state of things will not be defined until the …

Because the problem is perfectly avoidable with very little technical understanding, and this is Hacker News.

That only works in scenarios where competency is superfluous.

I'd like to see brain scans of burnt out people contrasted with those of people with PTSD. With a more than fair share of both, I'm not sure that they're genuinely distinct phenome…

Valhalla is what you want, at least for some of it. https://openjdk.org/jeps/402 interface Box { T get(); void set(T val); } interface IntBox extends Box { int get(); void set(int …

I had a boss who actually acknowledged that he was deliberately holding up my development process - this was a man who refused to allow me a four day working week.

Thanks, but it really wasn't - it was just the least shit of the top five results for "civil war bioluminescence". I'd much prefer a more scientific article, especially one that de…

My favourite story about bioluminescence is "angel's glow" in the civil war. A bioluminescent microbe colonised the wounds of civil war soldiers, beating out pathogens and preventi…

I had it go boom on Tumbleweed (when the drive filled up) less than a year ago. I tried accessing and fixing the fubar partition from a parallel install, but to no avail.

> Defining 1/0=0 isn't really helpful imho But it's quite a nice way to mask program bugs.

As someone who has pulled himself back from suicidality, I absolutely abhor the expression "died by suicide". If I had gone through with it, I would have killed myself - and any eu…

It's a moot point. Changes should be in place in time for regression testing, if you cannot manage that wait for the next cycle. Those same rules apply to everyone, and you're bein…

Yeah, it kinda was - https://lore.kernel.org/all/172816780614.3194359.10913571563... He was refusing to contribute his code according to the rules (by which everyone is meant to ab…

That's nowhere near useful enough to justify such a significant security flaw.

Relative coordinates sure, but why would you need the absolute position? I'm with you on the second point - as unlikely as it is for the click to occur at the origin, it's still a …

The idea that the novel coronavirus didn't escape from the local coronavirus R&D laboratory never had anywhere near enough evidence to be credible. It was pretty much the WHO simpl…

Worst case scenario, you can always still turn it into wood.

Artificial not-intelligence would be an actual intelligence pretending not to be. Like a cuttlefish disguised as a rock.

Of course it didn't have intelligence, as I stated - it's artificial.

> artificial diamonds and synthetic diamonds are the exact same thing No, they aren't. Artificial diamond generally refers to cubic zirconia - which is not a diamond. Synthetic dia…

Yes, because our society rampantly abuses language ignoring the actual meanings of words. As far as science fiction goes, it's irrelevant - we live in the real world and have had A…

You don't know what artificial means.

They're wrong. Any actor that simulates any aspect of intelligence is a genuine AI - it doesn't even need to be adaptive. Pong had AI.
