Don't say single nine, it sounds ugly and bad.

Say five eights of reliability. Maybe six.


We're talking about Claude, not GitHub...

that would be eight fives...

Worst case, meta will sue the programmer who produced infringing code.

I mean if the code is not copyrighteable that does not mean anything; it's just public domain code except that meta will just use good old security by obscurity to protect it. If somehow a meta programmer vibes code, say, VVVVVV, and Terry Cavanagh recognizes it on his facebook feed and sues meta, and wins, all that will happen is that meta will take down the copy of VVVVVV, will fire and sue the engineer that vibe coded it and call it a day.


Surely there are existing rails right now that could be transformed into a bullet train line.

Like properties and regulations are a true problem, but it's not like trains don't exist at all in America.


My understanding is that existing rail lines aren't flat/straight enough for high speed rail. There's no point to a bullet train if it has to constantly slow down for corners/hills.

Like the people who generally get rsi from playing their instrument?

If you get RSI playing the piano then you had a shit piano teacher.


Right but who is going to prosecute? the Department of Justice?


You know you have to give Nixon credit he slinked away before it ended in a shoot out between the SS and the FBI on the White House lawn.


In a way that might have been preferable. It would raise the bar a bit. No doubt Trump is aware of what happened to Nixon and thought 'ok, so you can get away with it' and then realized that in this situation he could just completely ignore any kind of potential fall out. The thing that boggles the mind is that this could be fixed in 24 hours.


I mean they could just feed the solutions into the training data. Then suddenly the bot will do real good at HLE.


Exactly. This is called overfitting and it's most definitely a thing.


Ah yes, Russia, the famously territory starved country.


Billionaires try very hard to increase their own wealth. Politicians try very hard to increase their own power.


USA won't injure or kill 1 in 25 of young adults in the Iran war, unless somehow Iran does have a nuke and wants to use it, come on.


Quite possibly would end up killing or injuring that many Iranians, though.

Gaza is up to 10% of the population killed or injured in the Oct 7 reprisals: https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/paper/HumanTollGaza


Raw manpower is hardly the only aspect of war.

Especially in modern war.

Running out of fancy equipment, for example, causes quite a few problems if your opponent hasn't. Like interceptor missiles.


Currently conflict is a really good sales pitch for buying more interceptors.

You could expect order books to get so thick that production increases.

I mean looking from the side lines, I could see why many countries might want to have a few interceptors on hand. Just in case, it's certainly a nice way to buy some time.


You are not telling the whole story.

You can mix indentation and braces to delimit blocks.

It's insane.


As a casual observer who has written perhaps a dozen lines of Scala in his life, I feel like Scala approaches any “pick one” decision with “why not both?”.

Functional or OO? Yes.


I like how Haskell does it. One can do both but not mix, as in either indent or use `{ ... }`.


I personally think this put the final nail in the coffin.


Dunno about Xcode, but if you put a go compiler in there, I doubt it will compile or run slowly. Some dependencies may require C, but you could avoid that mostly.
