<p>I'd say for the sake of argument we're assuming that's not possible. Perhaps the blood types are incompatible in any direction but killing the healthy person [1]... the point isn't why these are the only options but assuming these are the only options what would be more ethical. Same way the point of the trolley problem isn't to say "derail the trolley" but to probe at which of two options is ethical in the nice simple world where those are the only two options - because if you can't say what's ethical in a simple world you certainly can't in a complicated one.<p>[1] do you need blood type compatibility for organ transplants? I really don't know... But I'm certain there are <i>some</i> compatibility constraints to ground the example in the real world...</p>

<p>So first off, Asimov's entire point was these laws don't work. But also the entire setup of the trolley problem means that the robots only option is to violate 1. by either pulling or not-pulling the lever (though the server case is different - at least in the philosophical interpretation - I can easily see Asimov justifying it by saying that destroying the train-control-robot is going to cause a lot of human beings to come to harm).</p>

<p>> Just standing by makes total sense. By participating you become part of the problem.<p>Consider also the variation of the problem where you're a surgeon, you have 5 patients, and one healthy person whose organs/blood/... could save all 5 if only you murdered the one... (but none by simply maiming them, i.e. one needs a heart, one a stomach, one a liver, one so much of this particular kind of blood that you'd have to kill the donor, etc).<p>> The person at lever would became active participant on that train disaster. All we know the train could go too fast, apderail and kill 100 people.<p>Standard philosophical interpretations would reject this possibility as impossible (the purpose of the question is to have a simplified environment to probe ethical beliefs - not to reflect reality). I'd also say even outside of that this is like saying you have to consider the possibility that by wearing a green sweater you might distract a driver and cause an accident - you might - but so might doing literally anything else - it's not a foreseeable outcome and has no ethical weight as a result.</p>

<p>I don't think you're reading it correctly.<p>I'd describe this as approximately weakening aliasing xor mutability to interior-aliasing xor mutability. The motivation seeming to be to have a more expressive system that rejects fewer correct programs. With a secondary goal of interacting with more (not less) restrictive languages (namely rust).</p>

<p>You can't revoke the old ones, you can choose to only communicate new ones with the restrictions though, and make it other peoples problem to figure out if there's another more permissive license available for that particular work...<p>For CC By-Sa works the new one might also not be strictly less permissive, because applying the restriction should allow people deriving derivatives to do the same via the share alike clause when they previously couldn't (though I didn't actually check the wording this person is using so this is just assuming the restriction is applied like I think it ought to be).</p>

It completely (and silently) ignored the values I entered.<p>It's still impressive in some ways to be sure - but I agree the marketing I've seen for it suggested to me that it is more done that it appears to be. It's the common theme with LLM developed that marketing is pushed far too early in the process.</p>

<p>I don't think that follows - just that compile times aren't the <i>only</i> thing that matters. Maybe rust could be twice as productive as go if compile times went to zero for instance (or maybe not - just disputing that the evidence proves the claim here).</p>
