A teacher thought he figured it out and asked ChatGPT if it wrote the text that his students handed in. ChatGPT said yes for every piece of work, so he failed the whole class. Apparently it didn't write it. Turns out ChatGPT thinks it

He has cred, but I also felt that this was from someone outside the finance industry because we have seen this all before. After the FX scandals with the 'Cartel' chatroom, the libor scandals, we've seen compliance digging th

By the way, all the pictures they show are coloured (if from this telescope): the sensor the use in this device is monochromatic. And space is not this colorful.

What a hype, pardon the pun. "Just try out the power of the most advanced astronomical instrument ever developed." I don't know... I am sure the telescopes professional astronomers use are more advanced... some operate even i

Not sure about this word, but the English language does not have a body that decides what the official words of the language are (unlike the French [0]). It seems that if a word or construct is used often enough, it becomes part of the Engl

Many seem to not realize that privacy is not about having something to hide (I guess that would be secrecy), but about the right to keep things to yourself. Those are two different concepts.

It seems that GPS signals can be used for higher accuracy if the receiving equipment uses two frequencies instead of one. This can freely be done by civilians, but requires more expensive equipment. Perhaps this solution with SBAS requires

There is one thing worse than failure , and that is the regret of not having done it in the first place. Except for cases where failure led to great financial ruin and loss of health etc.

It would also make a great interviewer, because I understand everyone used to read them for the great in-depth interviews.

Regarding secrecy: a few years ago secret information got out because soldiers used flash-card apps to learn it, and those cards were released/available publicly. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2021/05/2

I cannot find the reference but I remember reading, not too long ago, that even the professional ransomware gangs can be extremely lazy with their own security. Apparently even some well-known players (not script kiddies) could be identifie

Makes me wonder: if the amount of users affected is vanishingly small, then why implement it, as it sounds like a vanishingly small problem to me?

No bank out there has enough to repay the deposits of all their customers at once, that is just not how (most) banks work. In other words, you can practically bring down any deposit-taking bank by starting a large-enough bank run. (Except m

The market cap dropped from $17.8 billion to $104 million. They also rejected a $6 billion offer from Google (at one moment). Probably a lot of regret among those who did not cash/sell out, but that is hindsight.

Agreed on jsons not being ordered. The docs on simdjson mention that if you parse the fields in the order as they appear on file, then simdjson can do it in one iteration. If you get fields in random order, simdjson will have to loop the da

Articles need to be aimed properly at the audience. Is it beginners or experts? It ir is not for beginners, then why start explaining Big O notation and SAT with some pseudocode? In my opinion, the article should explain what sat stands for
