No, SETH implies quadratic time does not mean !SETH implies !quadratic time.

Were any of those using JS/TS? I've seen Bazel perform wonders with many compiled languages, but I'm not impressed with the JS ecosystem.

The best part of the downvoting of this is the answer to all of these is yes. Companies have banned all of these in the past when they were coming up. If you don’t learn from the past, …

No they didn’t. Did you read either of the things you posted?

Do you know of any company that banned IDEs and went back to plain text only editing?

Do you know of any company that banned compilers and went back to hand written assembly?

Do you know of any company that banned stack overflow and went back to figuring everything out?

It makes sense at a company that sells AI as a service. Perhaps to make presentations...

None of those are French words. How many letters is the word you say is French?

Have you considered what happens in the presence of multiple threads? I know aarch is weakly memory ordered but the assembly output by those two versions is quite different when multiple threads are involved. There must be a reason spreading the mutations across multiple lines causes the compiler to pessimize to the branch version.

Edit: not saying they are different just that it is harder for the compiler to see the safety of the transform when they are quite different.

I used to do phone screens with a similarly simple question. I am still blown away that something like 60% would fail to write working code. I had more parts for the 40% that got it the first one, but it was crazy how many people couldn't do the most trivial task.

Because hypertrophy is generally pointless compared to strength. The hyperthrophy that naturally accompanies strength work is sufficient but the strength that accompanies hypertrophy work is far less beneficial.

> something is valuable because some people think other people will pay more for it in the future, and not because it does useful things

This has been the definition of finance for hundreds of years. I don't know why it comes across here like this is a new phenomenon.

I mean I think hating practices and efforts to exploit people is good. I think hating the adverse consequences of our inventive structures and lack of protections for basic human rights is good. But I think hating AI is pointing at the wrong subject for scorn. If you want positive change you can’t point at something that a lot of people are getting value out of (individuals as well as corporations) and say fuck your experience. It is also wrong for a billionaire to say fuck your future and deal with it, but that should mean hating on that person not the technology.

Why not require putting up some money, say $20, to submit a bug eligible for a payout? If you know what you’re doing you wouldn’t mind this at all because you’ve proven it to yourself and you’ll get paid $1000. If the bug turns out to not be legit and it was a good faith effort then you can return the deposit as well. Slop doesn’t get a refund.

Dude I was there 2019-2022 and mdproxy was a huge win when I realized I could work while traveling. I remember following some incantations on someone’s personal page to get it running. Then covid happened and I was ahead of everyone for a few weeks because I already had been doing real work on my laptop. Thanks!

Yes they can. Your research papers are not the whole story. It’s like google could open source their entire monorepo and very little would change. No one else could operate it.
