We don't even know how to get someone to be 130, but sure, let's waste time talking about this.

In terms of deliberate attacks on a DC, an adversary that can bomb a blast resistant bunker can easily bomb the data lines going in and out, to say nothing of external power supplies. I guess you can at least repair the lines after the atta

They are pretty well founded. You can read old rhyme dictionaries and see how the words evolved eg when borrowed by Japan at one time and then when borrowed again a couple of hundred years later. We can’t ever know 100% but it’s not idle sp

Different field, but it drives me crazy that people talk about Chinese philosophy and insist on using Mandarin pinyin for it. Mandarin is language that evolved from Classical Chinese thousands of years later! There are other, equally valid

I've seen this movie. It's long and boring and ends with the blue fairy resurrecting Haley Joel Osment.

The main problem with frames is that you need to use JS to get it to be responsively sized. If they would fix that, frames would be perfect. They actually do what people just think Web Components do. I.E. they are actually isolated from the

You can do it using gofmt, by writing gofmt -w -r '"github.com/abc/def" -> "github.com/abc/def/v2"' . That won't do subpackages though.

Python has None, which frequently caused me problems in production, so that's not different, except Go can at least tell between a string and nullable string pointer. Reversing a string is not a basic operation. A) why would you ever n

The Dole who took over Hawaii (Sanford Dole) was cousin to the pineapple company guy (James Dole). So, not the same guy, but also not unrelated either.

It's really important to be clear about the lessons to be learned from Python 3. 1. Forward compatibility is more important than backward compatibility. 2. Automated refactoring tools don't help with 1. The problem wasn't tha

I'm continually going through this thought process: 1. I should make blog engine using flat files. That way I can diff the plain text. 2. But flat files are hard to read/write structured data from, so I should use SQLite instead.

Yeah, I don't necessarily buy the whole Chomskian program. I'm willing to be persuaded that the reason kids learn to speak despite their individual poverty of stimulus is that there was sufficient empirically experience stimulus o

Wait, am I crazy for thinking relations are not sets? Two sets can be coextensive without the relation have the same intension, no? Like the set of all Kings of Mars and the set of Queens of Jupiter are coextensive, but the relations are di

Chomsky's poverty of stimulus argument is, if anything, strengthened by LLMs. You need to read the entire internet to make statistical methods work at producing grammatical texts. Children don't read the entire internet but do pro
