And don't forget:

"hi" and "hello" are not the same.

Can fully AI‑generated code be copyrightable? Is there evidence that the leaked code was AI-generated?

"Top engineers at Anthropic, OpenAI say AI now writes 100% of their code"

> Right now for most products at Anthropic it's effectively 100% just Claude writing

I would argue that no app/website should be selling itself to kids. No corporation should be trying to tether its ARR to children's attention.

When my kids were young, we canceled our Disney Channel / etc cable subscription and showed them more PBS and similar.

It was really annoying turning on a show for 30 minutes then for the next week hearing about that new toy they just have to get. It was exhausting.

I think that is a fairly good definition of what an LLM is. I'd say the third leg of the definition is adjustable randomness.

Just like in "I, Robot?"

I tend to see humans as just another animal species, subject to pressures similar to those of other mammals. Whenever disease comes up it seems like vaccinations are the only factor discussed.

Can anyone here speak to other factors (at a macro scale) that influence human health over large spans of time?

The main factor (at a macro scale) that influences human health over large spans of time is, in fact, large spans of time.

Specifically, no human has yet, or ever will, live long enough to qualify as a large span of time.

Well, Palantir was taken.

As an official greybeard who has written much in C, C++, Perl, Python, and now Rust, I can say Rust is a wonderful systems programming language. Nothing at all like Perl, and as others have mentioned, a great relief from C++ while providing all the power and low-level bits and bobs important for systems programming.

It looks nice. The movement is smooth and elegant. However, I really don't understand what the essential play loop is supposed to be. Is this about graphs? Calculus? Physics? Am I solving puzzles? Taking quizzes?

You're getting the gist of how to transform functions in a fun way.
