People spent considerable amount of effort developing systems that separate contents from styles (latex, html/css, etc). And with Python people think it’s a good idea to encode contents as styles…

What's your suggestion then? For China to reduce its population by 3/4 (wasn't China heavily criticized for enforcing birth-control?), or to acknowledge that Chinese citizens (or those of any other country with a population greater than that of the US) don't deserve to enjoy the same standard of living as US citizens?

True browser-centric digital gurus don't restart their computer unless there is a power cut. They also don't shutdown their browser either.

I think they meant there is only one syllable per character.

> Japanese has a lot of compound words of Chinese origin, where two or more kanji appear as a set.

In the original Chinese language, a "word" mostly consists of a single character. Interestingly, many of the compound words commonly seen in modern Chinese were in fact coined by the Japanese scholars during their attempts to translate western writings around the 19th century and were later "imported" back into Chinese language. Interestingly, the two examples in the article, "art" (美术) and "science" (科学) are both of Japanese origin, though one can still tell whoever coined the terms chose the individual characters due to their meaning being relevant to the concepts the words are describing.

Except that a weather forecasting model can't experiment on weather, but a LLM system may be designed to be able to perform experiments and take feedbacks?

Excellent, Python is officially my favourite language now!

How about allowing non-indentation-defined code blocks? Say, by wrapping a block of code with {}?

It's salami bait and switch.

This is somewhat expected to be honest. I am rather pessimistic on the future solutions to such issues though. I can see only one possibility going forward: camera sensor manufactures will either voluntarily or forcibly implement hardware that inject cryptographic "watermarks" to the videos produced by their cameras. Any videos that do no bear valid watermarks are considered potentially "compromised" by GenAI.

I am afraid there are no such thing as "friends" when it comes to international politics...

Gangs also offer to "defend" local businesses from other gangs.

What I meant to say is that most people can only verify an algorithm is correct if they already know the correct solution.

If they already know the answer then it’s probably more efficient if they write it themselves rather than having AI produce a potentially difficult to verify answer and try to verify it.

If you need AI to help you program an algorithm, then you shouldn't be using it because you can't tell if AI's solution is correct.

If you can tell if a solution is correct or not --- well, then you don't need to have AI write it for you.

I think AI programming can only work when the industry begin to treat "almost working" systems backed by human customer service as acceptable.

I feel Java deserves better. When Python finally gets true thread concurrency, JIT (mamba and the like), comprehensive static analysis (type hints), and some sophisticated GC, and better performance, people will realise Java have had them all this time.
