How would they know for sure if the submitted code was written by a human or AI? If they had a “no-AI” policy, there would be no way to enforce it.

The policy makes sense to me given the security concerns for the project.

The appendix has examples of the statements that led to the most disagreement:

This is wrong. You can’t convert between the two because it’s possible to have a lot of wealth with very little (even zero) income. Billionaires can completely avoid income taxes by paying themselves a very low salary and instead borrowing money against their assets (usually stock), which is not taxed as income.

This seems useful, but I don’t think this could replace most use cases for Meetup or Eventbrite.

This actually sounds more similar to Partiful, which I like for one-off events. I would describe this as an open source Partiful, but not specifically geared towards parties.

This is really cool. I’m not sure what I would ever use it for, but it’s a cool idea and seems well executed.

As someone who lives in the US, I was surprised to hear they’re facing jail time for this. In the cases I’ve heard, the company itself is sued and just has to pay damages to the victim. But I think it makes a lot of sense to hold the leaders of a company accountable for the culture they create and they should face jail time. I wonder why our laws don’t do that in the US.

I’m surprised Hey isn’t mentioned. That’s the only example I know of someone recently trying to reinvent email. Maybe it wasn’t included because it’s part of Basecamp and not its own company. But I think it’s important to discuss if your argument is that “no one has successfully reinvented email”.

Yes, it looks broken to me. The top article is too close to the header. I’m on iOS Safari.

Yeah. The title implies that the model has developed a scary sense of self preservation, but when you read the details it’s exactly what you said.

The conditions that elicited this response seemed very contrived to me.

This would make a cool progress bar replacement. Replace percentage with the number of dots (0-100).

I’m not an expert in physics, but this seems like a misguided critique to me. My understanding is that physicists aren’t looking for “new” physics because they’re trying to upend established physics, but because they’re trying to reconcile “inconsistencies” in the standard model. Like reconciling quantum physics with general relativity. We need new physics because we know there are gaps in our current understanding of the universe. I haven’t heard about many attempts to disprove established physics. Theoretical physicists aren’t looking just trying to fill the gaps in the model.

I agree. I generally support the EFF, but I disagree with them on this. I read through the bill and the language is very specific to revenge porn (although I’m not a lawyer). I think it would be very difficult for Trump or anyone else to abuse this law and use it for censorship.

I have friends who were the victim of revenge porn and I think this law would help them. I’m looking forward to this becoming a law.

Components look great. I would pay for these if I needed one of them for a project. It would be great if they worked in React Native too.

Instagram Messages and Snapchat also have an AI chatbot you can’t get rid of. It’s even more annoying on those platforms because they appear at the top of your chat list and it’s easy to accidentally click on them.

Yeah, you should be able to manually lock or they should lock automatically once it’s guaranteed a tile is in the right place. Like if there’s only one black tile in a row and that row is correct.

Yeah, it feels like there’s a slight delay when you tap on a tile. I’m playing on an iPhone.

People like to say that the American healthcare system is great if you’re rich, but based on this study, that’s not true. Interesting.

Can you color code the brackets so it’s easy to see how the clues are nested? Like outermost brackets are red, one level of nesting is blue, next level of nesting is orange. My brain is having a hard time parsing all of the clues.

AI can definitely produce a deletion. In fact, I commonly use AI to do this. Copy some code and prompt the AI to make the code simpler or more concise. The output will usually be fewer lines of code.

Unless you meant that AI won’t remove entire features from the code. But AI can do that too if you prompt it to. I think the bigger issue is that companies don’t put enough value on removing things and only focus on adding new features. That’s not a problem with AI though.
