What happens when it's indistinguishable from a human speaker (in any conceivable test that makes sense)? It's like a philosophical zombie - imagine that you can't distinguish it from a human mind, there's no test you can make to say that it is NOT conscious/intelligent. So at some point, I think, it makes no sense to say that it's not intelligent.

Up until I was around 10, most of my dreams were lucid - I didn’t have to do anything special to ‘enter’ them. Then they became less and less frequent. The last one was when I was 15 or so.

It doesn’t affect existing apps

I don't think pirating mp3s is more attractive to the listener than Spotify.

> But if we multiply the numbers together we get a number that is divisible by every number in the table.

Wouldn’t LCM be the correct/more general approach? The periods could have common factors, right?

Overpriced homes, out of control rent, retirement are extremely problematic in a lot of European countries. And in the US, healthcare is usually covered by the company (talking about big tech corps).

So the extremely high salary is still a net positive compared to EU

Yajirobe — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 16:48:09 +0000

I thought git complains and doesn't allow you to checkout uncommitted code? Something along the lines of 'please commit or stash your changes before checking out'

So it’s supposed to be ‘exemplary’ and ‘beautiful’ but literally the first script I opened had global variables used. That’s not my idea of elegant Python.

> Typically employees make poor money in comparison to what kind of profit they generate

I think it’s the opposite - developers are overvalued.
