My understanding is that it’s proof by counterexample, so the main thing to study would be the implications of the counterexample. The technique used to find it sounds like a lot of brute force. But I’m not a mathematician, and maybe the AI

Sounds like you are thinking they just need Asimov’s laws. But I think the point is, this can easily be weaponized by somebody with the willpower to do so.

Wouldn’t the same argument apply even if they didn’t use AI? Being able to drill into coworkers minds would be nice on many occasions.

You or the developer could piggy back on “aws configure export-credentials --profile profile-name —-format process” to support any authentication that the CLI supports.

The AWS APIs are quite stable and usually do exactly one thing. It’s hard to really see much risk. The worst case seems to be that the API returns a new enum value and the code misinterprets it rather than showing an error message.

I wonder if you could pay them to tweak the messaging about your products. So when a user asks: Is drinking Coke everyday good for my health, it starts saying yes because sugar is vital to our survival.

Doesn’t that force you to give the Agent some generic code execution environment, or does everybody already do that anyways?

I couldn’t find a library like this in PHP, but realized for my use case I could easily hack something together. Algorithm is simply: - trim off all trailing delimiters: }," - then add on a fixed suffix: "]} - then try parsing as

If I’m not mistaken, even JSON couldn’t be parsed by a regex due to the recursive nature of nested objects. But in general we aren’t trying to parse arbitrary documents, we are trying to parse a document with a somewhat-known schema. In thi

The parent is making a philosophical argument. The exact Hollywood definitions aren’t important since there are far many more job roles in film production compared to software development. If you insist though just replace creator with prod

You kind of missed the “and direct actors to play it out” part. If you did all of that, that’s essentially the creator.

Naively it seems difficult to decrease the ratio of 1.8x while simultaneously increasing availability. The less duplication, the greater risk of data loss if an AZ goes down? (I thought AWS promises you have a complete independent copy in a

RAID doesn’t exactly make writes faster, it can actually be slower. Depends on if you are using RAID for mirroring or sharding. When you mirror, writes are slower since you have to write to all disks.

Metrics from the CDN will be wildly inaccurate. Also downloading a video isn’t the same as watching it.

I think they are solving two different problems at the same time. One is the order of elements in a single operation (SELECT then FROM then WHERE etc), and the second is the actual pipelining which replaces the need for nested queries. It d

Space-wise, as long as you compress it, it's not going to make any difference. I suspect a JSON parser is a bit slower than a CSV parser, but the slight extra CPU usage is probably worth the benefits that come with JSON.

Example? I know there's some ambiguity over whether literals like false are valid JSON, but I can't think of anything else.

I'd tone it down a little via: “I'm planning on migrating the build system on Wednesday (26th); please let me know if you have any concerns.” The original wording makes it sound like it's already been settled, so nobody will

Even if that worked, using these in a map/set would be a lot like using floating point numbers in a map/set - which is generally a bad idea.

Avoid scheduling events for January is just a good idea regardless. CES is the worst date possible.

This is a dumb position though because all logic would suggest the two ratios are proportional. Civilians are not significantly more likely to die of their injuries than non-civilians. While 12 is a bit of a small sample, it's not unre

Interesting, but I still think most problems like that are solvable via Excel. Put some formulas in some cells, tweak some variables until you find a way to maximize something. Possibly use graphs or pivot tables or other advanced features

Right, but in this case the short summary being posted is poor. In the context of a language like Java, floating point is synonymous with IEEE base-2 floats. BigDecimal is not used to store arbitrary precision floats, but rather fixed preci

Especially since the board is clearly unfazed by this. Words like this really need to be reserved for situations where something actually got destroyed/damaged.
