Even before LLMs, proving that a specific human wrote some piece of text was difficult or imprecise due to coauthoring, editing, plagiarism, etc. The important question then, as now, is rather to determine whether a specific human approved

This is wrong, given only the text of the article. The two books explicitly listed are not banned in Portugal or anywhere else. They are simply not subsidized with public money in some libraries.

Only two books are explicitly listed by the article, neither of which have been banned anywhere. Unsubsidized is the more accurate word here. Some governments have chosen not to pay public money to stock these books in libraries, but no gov

It behooves every company working on some form of actual AI to immediately switch branding to distance themselves from the slop bots. Call it image recognition, automated translate, inventory automation, what have you. I tried to use claude

Another day, another breathless claim about the abilities of LLMs based on output that looks valid to underinformed user but is actually defunct.

On other topics I imagine the conversation would flow better and, I hope, be just as lively and engaging. But to be direct, no, I'm not eager to continue when universes that admit contradictions are on the table. A conversation that pe

No, again, I have made no assumptions. I have made the observation (as others may, just as easily) that no one will ever succeed in describing a scenario or a universe where modus ponens is violated.

by carodgers 4mo ago
Modus ponens holds regardless of whether it is assumed correct or not. By that, I mean that excepting contradictions, not only are no counterexamples known, but it is known that none will ever be found. So I decline to adopt your convention

A hobby project I've been working on for a few weekends. Picked it up because I've been wanting to learn Rust by writing something simple. I've found a lot to enjoy about programming with Rust. Some minor complaints: - The sy

I've hit this problem multiple times. The approach which finally eased this pain point for me was to take care to not overwrite any tmux defaults with my config, and only add non-conflicting configs (new shortcuts, styling changes, etc

I don't use Windows at home. What happens if you don't have Outlook but your personal local files still fill up OneDrive storage? Do you get error messages that files aren't being backed up? Are you unable to save files?

It appears an overeager dev has gotten a CVE filed against np++ for a "DLL hijacking vulnerability." Submitter's repo is linked in the CVE change history: https://github.com/zer0t0/CVE-2025-56383-Proof-o

Just beautiful. I love that the pattern appears stable but diverges after 5 mins or so. Is the initial state proven to be stable under exact conditions?

by carodgers 11mo ago
Because they produce output probabilistically, when multiplication is deterministic. Why is this so hard for everyone?

This really misses a major point. If you write something in Zig, you can have some confidence in the stability of the program, if you trust yourself as a developer. If someone else writes something else in Zig, you have to live with the pos

I can't believe he omitted that detail. How did they appear to send an email from a google domain? This is especially puzzling given that he says he works in security.

You only get two options for each vote, and there is no reason that one or both of the options would need to be aware of or be in favor of an acceptable solution to the given problem. In fact, the chance of that happening is vanishingly sma
