I see both sides of this argument and am really not sure which side I land on. But I wonder if this fits into things like driving, where hey - done recklessly this is dangerous to yourself and others around you, so we require some level of

Isn't that true for any scenario previously unencountered, whether it is a digital simulation or a human? We can't optimize for the best possible outcome in reality (since we can't predict the future), but we can optimize for

It is great being able to generate a much larger universe of possibilities than what they can gather from real world data collection, but I'd be curious to learn how they check that the generated data is a superset of the possibility-s

It is actually one of the few cases where I don't actually really care about independent upgradability. In my experience I find that I pretty much always upgrade my CPU and my RAM in tandem. New CPU architectures sometimes force it (e.

You can use a string union to discriminate when it makes sense, but that's not the only way to discriminate and in this case you'd instead use the presence of the items themselves (essentially duck-typing with strong type guarante

How you define "external stuff" matters though. As soon as your function is calling another function, your test can be argued to be an "integration test", as you're now implicitly also testing the logic of the other

The problem with enforcing "freedom of speech" on private parties is that it essentially the same as infringing the speech of that private party. The only issue I have is when companies can play both sides and in one breath claim

Forget about reading articles even... the supreme court decision itself is not long, is written in understandable language, and breaks down point by point the things that they had to consider, why they had to consider them, and the outcome

I think the easiest answer to follow for "why is this not prevented by free speech protection" is "the fact that petitioners “cannot avoid or mitigate” the effects of the Act by altering their speech." (page 10 of this r

The case law around editorial control is at odds with most platforms' section 230 protection, which makes the fact that TikTok argued that its algorithm _is_ speech pretty different from how most platforms have argued to date (in order

Returning control to the caller only really needs to be explicit if you're doing it in an arbitrary spot in the middle of the function because if you're at the end there's nothing to do _other than_ return control. For instan

I think the idea is that there are many factors that might motivate somebody's decision that their life is not worth living any longer. Each individual will have a different threshold for that, but if there are institutions that can al

Like others are saying, this just looks like a rebrand. Hopefully this competes in performance with the 2019 Nvidia Shield TV Pro which is to date still the only streamer that performs well enough for high quality audio and video, but is st

The mistake here is thinking that cost and price are related beyond determining what the final margin is. The consumer decides the price that is acceptable for the good - the cost of that good being higher or lower just changes the viabilit

After a recent mention on HN I gave Kagi a try and subscribed for a few months. But after using it I'm really not sure why it get so much for the core "search", I found it so underwhelming that I would instinctively use the !

Really depends on "how many people". Also if its roughly the same group of people they're making angry over and over, and they don't see an impact to the bottom line, then I'd say the answer is "pretty small&qu

Google is basically split into "build things that make users happy" teams and "build things that make Google money" teams, so I think that on an individual product level you may be correct, but in aggregate at the high l

I think a company taking things seriously would view it as a gift from the heavens, but the fact that Boeing is seeking an exemption for certification doesn't really seem like they're putting safety ahead of profits.

Surprisingly I think this usage of clickbait is totally reasonable because it matches the author's initial thoughts/experiences of "what?! this can't be right..."

This was a flaw in the original AlphaGo, but the subsequent AlphaZero ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaZero ) trained entirely from self play with no prior information. So essentially it _does_ build fundamental unde

krita.org is a similarly polished and professional open source project, but I agree these types of projects are the exception rather than the rule (though I suppose the same could be said about most products).

I think the problem works both ways too, because for an in progress (but long-running) workflow, you may not want to retroactively apply your new business logic for the part that's already run because that would be unexpected. But for

I made a spinning LED sphere that has 72 addressable RGB LEDs on a 3-spoke "propeller" that spins on 2 axes. This is still a work in progress, as I need to design the final control board PCB so that it's not a bunch of breadb
