One of the key challenges that lies in remote work is the inability to truly know what's going on. You can have an idea, but you'll likely faces situations you cannot predict or cannot defend against.

> Even reusing your own work between classes was an example of plagiarism.

As a high school student, this is still true. People literally get suspended/expelled for plagiarism.

I still don't see how this is a crime though, I mean sure, he has a sense of inspiration and borrows sentences and phrases from somewhere. But, that doesn't mean the entire plots of his books, or the primary reason they sell is because of him stealing a few sentences from others.

He could have also potentially got it off trading, since he'd have to show his Lambo first before getting suckers who think there's a magical formula for the average Joe to make millions.

Or, hypothetically, he could have rented it for cheaper and then bought an actual one with the money from the suckers.

As a high school student, I also use Obsidian over more mainstream alternatives such as Notion or OneNote. I find it primarily useful because of the no-internet feature and I find the linking ability to be extremely useful since most ideas are related to other ideas, and in totality this creates a concept.

> Because the model can’t “look ahead”, it starts spitting out valid combinations, but without being able to anticipate that committing to a certain combination early on will lead to a mistake later.

Aren't there already models that CAN look ahead? Or are there none?

Does this bug work across all applications that use Firebase? Or just those that didn't push the update with security?

Couldn't it have been COVID and the markets crashing?

Hmm, isn't this how like GitHub / other services can check whether you own a domain. What are the advantages of this over other ways of sharing information like a TXT file or a database?

I think it's perfectly fair for the prof to catch students who are cheating this way.

One question for the tech experts, of course people can use AI and technology for bad and illegal activities, but isn't that the case about everything?

The person who invented the car didn't think about people using it to smuggle drugs or trample other people on purpose, and the wright brothers didn't think about all the people who would die due to plane crashes.

So instead of focusing on the bad that's happening with AI, can't we just look at all the people he has helped with his work on AI?

> Is Parrondo's paradox really a "paradox"? This question is sometimes asked by mathematicians, whereas physicists usually don't worry about such things. The first thing to point out is that "Parrondo's paradox" is just a name, just like the "Braess's paradox" or "Simpson's paradox." Secondly, as is the case with most of these named paradoxes they are all really apparent paradoxes. People drop the word "apparent" in these cases as it is a mouthful, and it is obvious anyway. So no one claims these are paradoxes in the strict sense. In the wide sense, a paradox is simply something that is counterintuitive. Parrondo's games certainly are counterintuitive—at least until you have intensively studied them for a few months. The truth is we still keep finding new surprising things to delight us, as we research these games. I have had one mathematician complain that the games always were obvious to him and hence we should not use the word "paradox." He is either a genius or never really understood it in the first place. In either case, it is not worth arguing with people like that.

Everyone nowadays is lazier than the average man in the 80s. In the 80s, you probably had to buy music in a store rather than use Spotify or Apple Music or had to look up information in the library instead of google it.

The industry wants you to get everything you want through one click, nowadays though, it's not even a click, you just need to talk about it and Alexa and Google Home will pick up on it.

I'm pretty sure that already exists. Any post that doesn't link or links to sites like GitHub, Substack and Medium are downranked.

Why do you think the Tor project team is releasing it together? Isn't Tor private enough? Or do they want higher privacy without onion browsing?

OpenAI is a fairly new company, and if it tells you how it trained models what stops you from making one yourself?

On the contrary, if you don't know, then you don't know. If you're always needing to use ChatGPT or other LLMs then what happens in a world where they're unreliable?

Everyone will start to use AI, so simply, don't.
