It makes hard chords easy, and impossible chords possible (if not easy). Most barre chords, for example.

Feeding birds is just feeding stray cats with an extra step.

Perl was in 1997 and is today a better awk+sed.

They can take my bird feeders from my cold dead hands.

A truck driver has to deal with a lot of people at the two ends of the trip and needs to work in a team.

Compare it to some of the other options in that space and you'll see why that was a selling point.

I think it should depend on if it's `except Exception` (don't use) or `except Exception as e` (probably fine, as long as you log `e` or do something else with it).

That's because everybody uses linters nowadays, which was the original point.

That's pretty much all software.

If you can't get three people to vouch for you, honestly or otherwise, then that's a pretty big red flag.

> awful to wildlife

I think this has been greatly exaggerated, but even if the claims are true it's as nothing compared to fossil fuel.

> pure mathematical research into elliptic curve cryptography based on algebraic geometry and number theory, a solution looking for a problem if there ever was one.

This is ahistorical. Elliptic curves had been around for a long time, but elliptic curve cryptography was applied from its birth in 1985. Also the reasons elliptic curves had been studied for so long (Mordell-Weil Theorem, Falting's Theorem, Sato-Tate, etc) didn't really have much to do with the reason it was proposed, which was that its group probably wasn't vulnerable to the same kinds of attacks as DH.

> When the problem eventually came along, the solution was obvious thanks to pure math.

Also ahistorical. ECC wasn't proposed until almost a decade after DHKE (possibly only that early because it was hot at the time thanks to Lenstra (https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~ajmeneze/publications/ecc.pdf)) and it took decades to get in common use. Doesn't seem all that obvious.

That's just to avoid the detectors, it's not One Weird Trick.

You ought to ask it to cut it out with the little ball things that track the mouse.

You can randomly shift every pixel in a movie by +/-1, doesn't make the original not copyrightable.

I would have believed them, my tv at home had more than 100 channels at the time, and I think we all knew back then that usable video streaming was coming sooner or later.

Are you trying to tell me von Neumann's work has had no impact on the world?

Harmonic analysis is "just" working with harmonic functions which you have enough background for: f(x,y) is harmonic if f_xx+f_yy=0 (f_xx=2nd partial derivative w/r/t/ x, and so on). Higher dimensions work the same: f_{x1x1} + f_{x2x2} + f_{x3x3}+.... = 0.

Literal video, metaphorical lube.

I don't go to reddit for answers.

Good for Moonshot.

> Test the LLLM against things you want it to do

I agree, it is ridiculous to ask an LLM to replace an artist.

Could you expand on what the dissonance is?

I read thru it and most of it is accessible to an undergraduate. As long as you remember what Sym{1,2,3} are (clearly explained in the text), and how a resultant works (many undergraduate textbooks will show you), how SL2 works (reasonably common undergraduate topic), and can figure out the bit about the dual space being the same as those differential operators, everything else is just basic (high school) algebra.

> When did it become normal to talk about open source like this?

It's not normal today, but it's also not new, that kind of language has been around for a long time.

A quick bit of research proves otherwise, for example: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/591464acadd7b0493427d3... and others as described here: https://aaml.org/wp-content/uploads/MAT109_1.pdf

The long-term trends don't exactly reverse under Democratic administrations.

Because they would have had to dig a little more to find trivia it gets wrong. They don't care about "which AI is the best for little facts about movies," they care about "what do people do when the AI gives them a response".

It seems perfectly representative of AI and AI users.

Not if they're married and their spouse also drives the vehicle.
