Take care: this hasn’t been updated recently. The article says that generics are being considered, but they were added in go 1.18 which released in 2022.

Both LG and Microsoft share responsibility. LG for doing it and Microsoft for allowing it.

Can it do things on its own whim without any human interaction? No? Then not sentient. Get over yourself and realize LLMs are hitting your internal Turing Test.

I think the supposed logic is that if you average everyone’s predictions together you’ll be pretty close to accurate. Similar to how a crowd of people sing with near perfect pitch even though any individual in that crowd isn’t. However, this runs head first into Goodhart’s Law and immediately falls apart

Good hackathons don’t mean more work. They should carve out time for people to participate. However if the systems those employees are maintaining need constant work then you can’t carve out time for a hackathon because the systems will go down otherwise. It sounds like Facebook is doing the latter. A one off event will also not improve morale, just like a pizza party won’t on its own.

“oops we got caught”

“They didn’t read the instructions” is a massive design failure. A good design doesn’t require reading instructions, especially for things that users are used to like cars.

Just like the “verified” badge on Twitter eh?

I’m skeptical that governments know about these solutions given how little people in general understand technology. It’s a “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” situation. Ideally they should have experts available to consult with when making laws to prevent BS like this.

Does the Supreme Court have jurisdiction over civil cases?

That certainly would weed out disabled candidates…

Does it happen at a consistent time or frequency? Like at 8pm or after 2 hours of being turned on?
