> ... Apple renting its AI from Alphabet (Gemini with Siri) might be a long term risk...
Similar to Apple (and everybody else) using Google maps. They survived.
That is not the take-away. LLMs are finding potential bugs in code. People are using LLMs to create potential fixes which people then test, confirm and implement.

... completely and totally owned by private interests, some of which are foreign.

The intelligence formerly known as...

I saw what you did there.
Repeatability is more important than accuracy.
Note also that some of the best printers used metronomes to count exposure time and turn the enlarger light on and off manually.
The fit is (almost) trivial.
That's confusing copyright with patents. The right to publish Newton's books is separate from being able to apply the knowledge which a patent protects. Note that math equations cannot be patented.
"I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."
Make like a tree and leaf?
> I liked the film noir voice-over.
I remember the voice over the first time I saw the movie, possibly in a cinema. I liked it, and was surprised with the general level of dislike it has received. The film was meant to be a mid-20th-century film-noir detective drama.
> Windows Vista came out and everyone hated it.
People had difficultly opening the plastic case it came in. I did. Ms added a red pull tab to indicate an affordance, then later changed the case to a simple clam shell for Windows 7.
You're off a generation. The boomer's kids have kids.
That's
average or mean. Median is the
middle value.
From the article:
> It can lead to some discussion about statistics and why you might prefer a median to a mean in most cases.
My best example for median vs mean is property prices, where very expensive properties will skew the mean (average value) upwards but the median (middle value) will remain about the same.
Monty Python’s Matching Tie and Handkerchief Executive Version.
Perhaps Polo will end up like competitive sailing with one-design classes based on the clone of horse. "Measurement" would be a blood test for drugs and dna.
Indeed. I just watched a "leak" video that claimed Apple is already releasing the MacBook Neo 2 with A19 chip because they are running out of A18 chips.
A lot of the people that bought iPhones are now buying Macs as well.
I worked in a broadcast company archive (doing database work). Tapes were often reused. Fragments of previous recordings -- sometimes just a few frames, occasionally many minutes -- may remain at the beginning or end of the tape. AFAIK tapes were never completely erased before recording over top.
I was invloed in a digitisation project, the scanning companies were instructed to process the whole tape in case there were fragments of older programs at the end. A 30 minute tape may have 15 minutes of program, then a period of blank/black, then the remains of an older program for several minutes after that.
The gottcha moment in the article was when the questioner's name was revealed as PLAYBOY.
Myth Busted: Some people really did only buy it for the articles.
Really? Satisfied people lack the ability to dream?
> ..the top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you... on which step of the ladder do you feel you personally stand at the present time?
10, I'm living my best possible life. It's conceivable that my "best possible life" may not be as happy as the lifes of other people, but I have achieved the maximum that's possible for me.
Any other "possible life" would require some combination of different genes, being in a different place and living at a different time.
Ships were a lot smaller when the bridge was designed and built.
A bite requires teeth. Sharks bite. Snakes bite. Bees and wasps sting. Jellyfish and bluebottles sting.
Not sure about spiders. Are their fangs considered to be teeth? Platypus have venomous spurs, not sure what that’s called.
That or a Windows update.
I use the term “unexpected error” because if the code got to this alert it wasn’t caught by any traps I’d made for the “expected” errors.
