Do I need a standard library to learn how to implement a language?

Our objectives might, and most probably will, be different.

Now we need one that detects and filters AI narrators.

Add a couple of pedestrians to that parking lot, as in a mall, and that situation turns dangerous quickly.

How would a malfunctioning AI decide it's safe to stop?

Is it? If I'm not mistaken this is exactly what journal editors, and reviewers, claim each and every time a new scandal blows up.

Let's stop pretending "peer-reviewed" means anything, please.

New comment by madmulita in "The IBM mainframe: How it runs and why it survives"

madmulita — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 14:53:27 +0000

I believe the real reason for its survivability is the fact that you can pull a tape from the seventies and those binaries will run without any modification. It's not only that you can easily recompile your COBOL from the '70s, the binary is still compatible. You've never been pushed to migrate to another technology. Imagine the effort and 'knowledge' included in those evolved programs. The banks don't even know, and are conscious of it, how many laws and regulations they have encoded in there.

As someone stated in another comment, the software is the impressive part.
