I'm not trying to detract from the OP's point but if the author turned the lens they are using to evaluate whether AI videos are harmful or not onto the videos one usually encountered on the internet pre-AI videos, I think they wo

Others pointed out the value of silence, but I just wanted to say it saddens me when humanity is misclassified as inefficiency. The other day Sam Altman made a jest about how much energy is wasted by people saying "thanks" to cha

I think it's a good point and I experienced the same thing when playing with SDL3 the other day. So even established languages with new API's can be problematic. However, I had a different takeaway when playing with Rust+AI. Hav

I tried that with work. I created an account where I can just follow a few things related to my job. The problem is that reddit will start showing you things you didn't subscribe to. It's a battle to keep them at bay. If you lo

You're right, but I don't think giving a dollar to gifted programs instead of intervention for struggling kids solves that problem. In fact if a kid is gifted but is struggling because of household issues, again, the money is bett

I appreciate what you are trying say. I'm having a hard time believing it because I was one of those kids. The only thing my parents gave me was access to books, technology, love and free time. They possessed zero experience in engin

> Or by disrupting the rest of the class. Kids that are struggling in class can be just as disruptive. > Gifted kids in a single stream classroom need to learn to play dumb or become a social pariah. Aka learn to function in society?

It's just the truth. Look at the boeing dreamliner failures. Hundreds of smart people doing a bang up job. It just took one a few missteps to jeopardize the whole production and peoples lives.

I don't believe it. Almost every kid in America has access to the internet, a public library and a teacher. How many don't have access to any of those? That's a different problem.

She makes some good points, but my take is that we in the 21st century are more bound to the success of our weakest links. Our world has become so complicated, one small mistake can have dire consequences. So, it's the state's p

> happens more at runtime Bingo, that's the difference. That's why I said "compile-time memory safety". This is what Rust gives you for your trouble, zero (runtime) cost for memory safety.

I'm glad you found something you like. I just want to make it clear that the things about Rust that make it "unfriendly" are also the things that make it able to do things other languages can't do, like compile-time mem

Imagine being a researcher from the future and asking this same question of the AI. The safety concern would be totally irrelevant, but the norms of the time would be dictating access to knowledge. Now imagine a time in the not too distan

Fennel has a form `assert-repl` which will drop into the REPL wherever, if the condition fails. For writing games you can launch the REPL in the game loop if a keyboard button is pressed. But what you can't do, that I know of, is int

It does have a screen for output. In they demo they showed it displaying a stock graph. As for input, I suspect elucidating your desires verbally is a muscle that is developed, like learning to program or be a writer. The assistants of y

It's not a complete waste, every engineer you employ is one you don't have to compete with, which matters for big tech companies. Also, employed engineers can be mobilized to react to threats/emergencies. It's just a m

The metal shell is ridged though, so the volume maintains the same with the vacuum. A rubber duck collapses with a vacuum inside of it, thus losing the shape of a duck and reducing the volume of the object =). That's why I said it&#x2

A rubber duck with a vacuum inside (removing the air material) of it is just a piece of rubber with eyes. Assuming OP's point about the rubber not being less dense than water, it would sink, no?

Yea, of all the edits in the video, the editing for timing is the least of concern. My gripe is that the prompting was different and in order to get that information you have to watch the video only on YouTube, expand the description and c

That's a tricky one though since the question is, is the air inside of the rubber duck part of the material that makes it? If you removed the air it definitely wouldn't look the same or be considered a rubber duck. I gave it to
