But what's the goal? And as long as it's one big crash, at the end things stop inflating and all prices are higher and all wages are higher and everything is pretty much back to normal.

Whatever, I'm not here to argue about it, but it's what people are implying with the autocorrect thing, not stuff about determinism.

The autocomplete argument is calling them fundamentally dumb and not self aware. That's separate from free will. A cat can have free will but we don't care much about its desires, and even if the universe is deterministic we sti

I'm not sure what performance improvements you're expecting with cell phone generations but most of it's pretty incremental. I don't think 7G is going to be even twice as fast as 5G on the same frequencies. It should b

I said it can use a different mechanism. Why would I want to read the code for more details on the current mechanism?

I said that in my first comment. You do a google search. The extension resolves every link on the page immediately via the goto urls. This doesn't leak any information to google because they obviously know which links they sent you

In both situations the lawnmower scoots up and takes fuel without paying, so it's meeting the basic requirements for theft. But the question was whether the lawnmower was trying to commit theft, as much as a computer can try to do th

The discussion of whether free will exists? It's related but only barely, I'd say.

Larger than what? That only goes so far. And tons of whitespace doesn't make the tap targets bigger. It exacerbates the problem of bigger targets causing less to fit on the screen.

That's a weird statement. Do you think knowing the most about something inevitably leads you to a specific decision? It doesn't. And this isn't something that would affect their revenue particularly much. So while it'

But the extension doesn't need to use that exact mechanism, and the person that linked it didn't mention specific mechanisms. The purpose of the extension is putting the real URLs back, and it can still do that. And it can stil

We don't know how good models will get, but the pattern of open weight models keeping up on a relatively short delay has been holding pretty well. And even among the proprietary models there's healthy competition. The concentrat

We're way into diminishing returns in matrix multiplication, and being clever about ALUs and cache layout is likely to dwarf any asymptotic improvements you're going to find. Any better examples of improvements in the last decade

Unless I want to see what the link is before clicking. Or copy the link.

While that is true, the current default situation in the US is way too far on the anti-build side.

In many environments it ends up acting like a generic "don't build things" mandate. Such a mandate's wins are by accident more often than by target, and it does more harm than good.

If someone searches for a specific product, you could still have competitor ads in a relatively fair way, but you have to put them after the correct link. Putting them first is going to mislead so many people. And you could advertise r

Energy going up 16%, because gasoline went up 30%, is the main reason "core CPI" and full CPI are a full percent apart, 2.4% versus 3.4%.
