I don't understand the logic. AI vs Human development still have similar cost profiles. It costs $ per unit of thought (salary or tokens). If React Native worked well for human programmers, wouldn't it be just as good for AI?

> Censorship is the government controlling what information the public can access Wikipedia and the ACLU both use a more expansive definition, where your definition is only 1 type of censorship. The "Left" uses empathy to convi

The perception is that the left is in favor of censoring slurs and hate symbols. As a reaction, Trump/MAGA has brought back the R-word for instance. Saying the Left are "pro-censorship" is not factually incorrect but definite

The story of the cubic equations is another great example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation Dudes straight up used to hoard solutions to equations and use them in math battles.

Google's business model is providing you services that are excellent, while also providing advertisers access to your willing eyeballs when you use those services. Yes, the advertising targeting is incredibly invasive, but let's n

Not who you asked, but I was going to say Actions or CI/CD from when I tried out Gitea a few years ago (back when running a Jenkins instance was more normal) but looks like Gitea supports that kind of workflow now: https://a

The courts are 100% going to have to interpret what is "sufficient human control" at some point.

I've seen junior engineers be productive on their first day in the industry because of AI, so I don't think the article is the whole truth. The example math is boundary-pushing and definitely not a solved problem. But most of us w

Is it? Turning a book into an AI model is lot more transformative than turning an AI Model into another AI Model.

Now I'm being super pedantic, but every town can't have the same "landmark" law. What makes a law a "landmark" is that other municipalities look to it for direction. In a world where the California law exists,

The municipality is already qualifying the sentence! Instead of "NYC announces click-to-cancel law" they qualify it with "landmark". I think it's silly for a municipality to lie (by omission?) in their own press ann

The term MMO is about the game/server architecture more than the size of the game. MMOs are online games with a single (or sharded) persistent gamestate. That's it. Most shooters have rounds that restart, breaking the persistence

There's 1655 calories in a pound of uncooked rice, so with 330lbs you are sitting at ~1500 calories a day for a whole year. You wouldn't starve to death, but you'd absolutely want to supplement (both for more calories and pro

The layoffs being "due to AI" is usually about freeing up the budget to build a couple datacenters and buy GPUs. And they have to layoff 14% of their workforce because they are buying those GPUs at many times the normal price than

Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking of the CCPA which does have some revenue or user count minimums.

It's kinda wild that you don't need to be a professional engineer to store PII. The GDPR and other frameworks for PII usually do have a minimum size (in # of users) before they apply, which would help hobbyists. The same could app

The cards _could_ be copyrightable, would probably be essentially a coin flip if you took it to court. No individual card text (limited to just the mechanics) is copyrightable but the setlist of cards might be. It would come down to how muc

Gemini works well enough in Search and in Meet. And it's baked into the products so it's dead simple to use. I don't think Google is targeting developers with their AI, they are targeting their product's users.

They are constantly evolving the menu and it's entirely data-driven, so yes? It's not down to the person level like tiktok but if they could, it would be.

Cheeseburgers are everywhere, are addictive to some, and eventually eating enough will kill you. Put another way: If McDonalds sees I eat 5 cheeseburgers a day, at what point do they have to stop serving me for my own health? Do they need t

The poster above me suggested advertising is inherently evil and should be abolished, I was just countering that absolutist position. I don't disagree that there are absolutely some awful ads out there, and that they should be regulate

Advertisement serves an important purpose. If you were a farmer with a mule and the tractor salesman came by for the first time, that would be life-changing for you. You wouldn't say that salesman was evil for advertising his tractor.

An AuthN/Z system would probably end looking like counterexample #2, which immediately raised a red flag for me about the article.
