This is something I think the ‘you have to use LLMs or you’re falling behind’ crowd are missing. Of course these companies want you to become dependent on their product, and unable to complete basic tasks without it, because then when they slap you with monthly fees and ads and tokens you won’t have a choice but to pay.

Use them if they’re useful, but don’t out source your brain. You’ll need it when the enshittification begins.

Israel does not recognise that there are civilian non-combatants in Gaza and therefore does not allow aid to enter. How about you?

What would you call intercepting someone in international waters and taking them back to your country without their consent? If Somali pirates did that you’d have no qualms using the word ‘kidnapped’.

This is actually not true. You are referring to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), an artificially intelligent system that is able to function in any context.

Artificial Intelligence as a field of Computer Science goes back to the 50s, and is defined as systems that appear intelligent, not that actually exhibit thinking capabilities. The entire purpose of the Turing test is to appear intelligent, with no requirement that the system actually is.

Rule based systems and statistical models are examples of AI in the scientific sense, but the public perception of what AI should mean is warped by portrayals in science fiction of what it could mean.

Can actually be worse, any clubs as the last card is still straight flush because the two sets of 4 don’t have to be the same 4 cards

Just started Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice after wanting it for a long time… and I feel like I’m bouncing off it. Having never played any of the Dark Souls series, but having absorbed some of the concepts via cultural osmosis I feel like the game has gone: It’s a soullike, you know what to do from here! But I have no idea what my goals are, other than running around and dying repeatedly, and occasionally finding a ‘bonfire’.

I thought the combat was supposed to be a selling point, but it feels really clunky. Maybe I’m missing something, idk.

S10 E12 (The Doctor Falls) is the end of (Modern) Doctor Who. Such a perfect episode epitomising the character, and closing an arc for one of the longest villains. He even ‘dies’ at the end.

Everything since then has been badly written and purposefully disrespectful to the cannon and the audience, and has wasted so many fantastic actors.

Did the generated code get merged? I’d be curious to see the PRs

If they are only preventing opportunity, the crime will just take place at a different place or time when an officer is not present. The program’s mentioned are aimed at reducing the motive for crime, which applies at all places and times.

Sorry random internet person let me forward your opinion to my old Computer Science professor and have them update it.

AI as a field goes back to the 50s, long before any concept of machine learning, or what ‘intelligence’ was possible for a computer to achieve.

AI in the computation sense can refer to any system that appears intelligent. This includes simple logic. It seems to be you that is confusing AI with Machine Learning.

I completely disagree that it is not using anything that identifies the universe. The visual language of Star Wars is very strong, and even besides the obvious storm troopers this show captured it in its’ production design in a way that very few recent introductions have.

I would argue that almost any frame could be immediately identified as star wars even if you hadn’t seen the show.

QR codes are a huge problem in contexts like this, because they are easy to overwrite and impossible for a human to verify the legitimacy of.

This means anyone with a sticker printer could slap a malicious QR code over the genuine one, and you won’t know until you’ve already scanned it. This could easily take you to a clone of the restaurant’s website for example, that instead steals your passwords or bank details.

I only use it when I know exactly the code I’m trying to produce, but just saving time if it can write it for me. Somewhere I saw this described as ‘toil’ vs. ‘domain knowledge’, and it definitely reduces toil even if I have to correct it. Anywhere that I wouldn’t know how to correct it, I don’t trust it.

No.

The courts can only interpret the law. The wording of the law refers to ‘sex’ i.e. Biological sex, not gender, hence the ruling.

Only the media is talking about the ‘definition of a woman’. This is not what the ruling is on.

That isn’t to say that the equalities act shouldn’t be changed to also include gender, I strongly believe it should and hope against hope that the Labour government will, but it is not in the supreme court’s power to enact new law.

Lack of understanding of the legal system leads to a lot of misdirected anger, I’m on your side, but be angry at the right people.

You’ll be a better programmer in any language if you can understand a systems language like C. No need to become an expert, just the basics of manual memory management will help you understand what other languages are hiding from you.
