Real life is a game of risk/reward rather than a game of deep calculation. You can't "calculate" life because there are too many variables and unknowns. You have to simply pick a path and either accept the risks or mitigate them.

This is similar to (but much higher-level than) the Shakespeare programming language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_Programming_Langua...

The Find N6 still has a noticeable crease, it's just much smaller than the average foldable (here's a video of it with the screen off: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ss31thoK7xM).

If someone truly can't tolerate their phone screen being in any way perceptibly different from a single flat pane of glass, then they shouldn't buy foldables. It's something you have to get used to or ignore, with any brand. Especially over time as you bend and unbend the phone repeatedly and the crease deepens.


But, the iPhone Duo has a different aspect ratio from a regular iPhone. So your app needs to be designed for multiple aspect ratios anyway.

> Is it legal for US citizens to all put cameras on their cars and set up a network where we can all see where all police are at any given time?

Sure. There's absolutely nothing illegal about monitoring the location and activity of police (unless you broke some other law to do so, like hacking).

Hell, most of them will simply tell you where they are and what they're doing, as they tend to broadcast over unencrypted radio (which is also not illegal to listen to).

In theory, sure. In practice? Good luck.

That doesn't really follow. Not every job can be automated with code. And those that can, largely already have been.

Programming (usually) isn't art, it's design. Design is when you arrange something to serve a particular purpose, not just for aesthetic value. In programming we understand that this purpose is not just to make code that looks nice, but also that functions properly, that is maintainable, that communicates its intent, etc.

And, it goes without saying, programming is just one activity of the many that encompass "software engineering". There are plenty of people whose hobby is programming, but probably far more whose hobby is actually software engineering, and are fine with LLMs handling the programming part.


Same exact thought when this trailer came across my feed. "Oh, who did A24 get to play Holmes, she looks familiar somehow." hahaha

> LLMs write better than most journalists

In my personal experience I strongly disagree. Curious what publications you read wherein this is the case.


I suspect the commenter prefers the concise, factual summary of an LLM.

It is true that modern journalism on the web is trying to get ad impressions. After all, this is how we ended up with clickbait. Sure you still have the Economist and Atlantic (which aren't beyond criticism), but your local county paper is an absolute mess. The content is stretched, meandering, and designed to keep you scrolling through more impressions.


> concise, factual summary of an LLM.

Pardon; the what?


This was a type confusion bug in generated JIT code, not in C++ code.
