GP did not suggest anything of the kind, though. They talked about "figuring out where to look" which very different. In that kind of use, it doesn't really matter that the model might hallucinate or draw faulty conclusions,

Imagine being so well off that you don't even notice being off by ten orders of magnitude. Meanwhile, there are people dealing with negative exponents.

You don't get to call it "stepping out of line" if there are no consequences for doing so. See for example how the My Lai Massacre was handled[1]. The pattern continues when it comes to shooting down an airliner[2], an airstr

That description does not match the RCA 1802 [1] perfectly, but it is probably the best known microprocessor (not a microcontroller, though) without a dedicated program counter. There are a lot of misconceptions about it floating on the int

UTF-32 allows for constant time access to code points . Neither UTF-8 nor UTF-16 can do the same (there are 2 to the power of 20 valid code points, though not all are in use). While most characters might be encodable as a single code point

No, the worst outcome is much worse than that. You need to keep track of what is going on around, or you won't be able to account for you surroundings when you start moving again. I see these failures all the time: a driver of a stoppe

In Finnish you might use "kuunteluttaa" . You start with "kuunnella" , "to listen" and inflect it in the way that turn a verb into "make someone verb ". This particular example is a little unusua

SMS does not support images either, and email supports HTML. I'm not all that familiar with Word, but I believe it supports some formatting options too.

I worry we're veering very much off topic, so let me state, for the benefit of anyone thinking that this is still about the original comment, that I consider the quote provided by abnercoimbre to be both correct and relevant to the sub

You will notice that the provided quote is not from the submitted page[1] but from another page[2] on the same site. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one on this page that assumes that quotes on top level comments are sourced from

"The people living at this address might be pedophiles and sexual predators. Not saying that they are, but if your children are in the vicinity, I strongly suggest you get them back to safety." I think that might count as libel.

Not so, but if you're to pick one company over all the others as being the most deserving of your ire, EA seems like a rather strange choice compared to, say, Nestlé [1], Chiquita [2], The Coca-Cola Company [3] or Shell [4]. One might

Developing a reusable launch vehicle is not needed for a fast launch cadence. The expendable Soyuz family has had 2006 launches since 1957 [1]. That's one in just over 12 days, and in reality, the cadence has been a lot faster at times

That seems weird. I would expect optimizer to be able to do anything a rapid fire joystick could, so if the simulation code could be tricked that way, should it not have become apparent during the brute forcing? The other option is, of cour
