Oh, I must have missed that In that case yeah, it certainly depends on what the local laws say. I think in the UK parody protection applies to copyright but not trademarks.

there are a wide variety of ways to indirectly detect that someone opened devtools the most common way is to set a breakpoint, which pause JS execution only if devtools are open. this pause can be detected with a timer.

Definitely not only C compilers. Any optimizing compiler can remove code from your program which you might deem important but that the compiler thinks is irrelevant.

No, tradmarks can be parodied too. It's a first amendment protection, and extremely common in movies, TV and video games. If the developer worked with a lawyer they could've gotten any suit by IKEA (this wasn't a suit yet, ju

Parent commenter didn't say anything about you personally. They disagreed with you, yes, but that's not an insult.

Mass surveillance has certainly gone too far, but comparing 3000 premeditated murders to car accidents is not really a logical way to argue that. We investigate murder for a reason, despite it being a much rarer cause of death than natural

Real life is a game of risk/reward rather than a game of deep calculation. You can't "calculate" life because there are too many variables and unknowns. You have to simply pick a path and either accept the risks or mitig

The Find N6 still has a noticeable crease, it's just much smaller than the average foldable (here's a video of it with the screen off: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ss31thoK7xM ). If someone truly can't

But, the iPhone Duo has a different aspect ratio from a regular iPhone. So your app needs to be designed for multiple aspect ratios anyway.

That doesn't really follow. Not every job can be automated with code. And those that can, largely already have been.

Programming (usually) isn't art, it's design. Design is when you arrange something to serve a particular purpose, not just for aesthetic value. In programming we understand that this purpose is not just to make code that looks nic

This was a type confusion bug in generated JIT code, not in C++ code.

Using a harness designed for a specific problem set to solve that specific problem set, means the AI+harness is generally intelligent? How do you figure that? Or do you mean that, for any given problem, we could theoretically design a harne

I wonder how likely it is that, one of the major providers had an outage, and then the thundering herd of users switching to other providers (and/or openrouter automatically failing people over to other providers) caused the incidents

No, the verification they're doing is on the sending side, not receiving. The state sends people ballots, the USPS intercepts them and sends them back to the state if they find an issue. IF this cycle of delays lasts long enough, then

At the same time, I think some people in this comment section are underestimating the likelihood that this was a hack, because they're overestimating how sophisticated such a hack would have to be. In my mind, if this was a hack, it wa

No, you're comparing apples and oranges. All an SSD sequential read is doing is copying data from one place to another. So you should be comparing SSD bandwidth to memory bandwidth, not SSD bandwidth to (time it takes to execute some a

No, I don't think the way you're characterizing this is accurate. I/O is inherently very slow compared to computation. And many programs genuinely don't have any useful computation to do while waiting for I/O - beca

> why can’t nested functions just be normal functions inside a namespace Because GCC's nested functions are closures - they can access local variables within the function.

I feel the opposite way. I very rarely trust the database system to do the right thing. Any query more complex than a basic lookup by primary key requires me to look at query plans and validate that indexes are in place and are being used.

Knowing game codebases, I'm guessing their test coverage was not fantastic. Agents weren't gonna get it done.

Both you and the parent commenter seem to be misunderstanding the point the Bitter Lesson paper makes. The Bitter Lesson is about general-purpose algorithms vs. specialized algorithms. Historically, chess engines were programmed to look at
