Judging by the current state of DALL-E, the generated software will look good at first impression, but have lots of weird bugs when examined closely. So yeah, not much different to current software dev.

They should give the Covid variants relatable human names too

The bias of this mathematician and the rest of the Royal Society working group regarding vaccination is irrelevant to the subject of these papers, which analyse how and why misinformation is spread, and how correct information can retain credibility.

Reflexively trying to discredit them while being too lazy to read beyond the headline is a great way of making your own position look highly dubious though.

Feudalism is about the localisation of military and legal aspects of government. Libertarianism is about trying to restrict the power of government. Slavery requires a strong central government to be enforcible. Feudalism and Libertarianism are both anti slavery.

According to the article, the video in question "featured clips of Black men in altercations with white civilians and police officers.", so the primates label could just as well apply to the white civilians or police.

It is anti-Marxist, in that Marxism requires that the whole proletarian class of a society unite, whereas wokism pretty much guarantees that society will be shattered into thousands of mutually suspicious parts.

They are a believer in defaults

Maybe people will learn to no longer believe partisan information sources, and organisations whose reputation is based solely on the veracity of their content will predominate.

406, mate

Capitalism's basic meaning is that the means of production are owned by private parties.

Putting them under government ownership instead doesn't seem like the solution to anything, unless you are very sure that the government will follow your ideological beliefs, not be corrupted by its newfound direct power over peoples lives, and not get taken over by populists.

This would presumably include any pointer dereferences where the compiler cannot prove that the pointer is always non null.

Rogan was interviewing Michael Osterholm, who seems to be of good reputation.

The Gloranthan take is that the Elves - Aldryami - are more-or-less human-shaped plants, making them rather weirder in a lot of ways than their high-IQ-long-lived-humanoid equivalents.

Nothing is sharable between Common Lisp and Scheme, either, but Scheme is generally considered a Lisp.

Fine as long as you call the backspace character BS and the tab character HT.

I don't think shedding ones britches has anything to do with Brexit, honestly, but if it helps you feel free, go right ahead.

Make their own trade agreements? Hold their government accountable without having a circle of the government and the EU blaming each other?

Imagine the chaos if she did take over and made a decision on Brexit one way or the other, though. Better to let the politicians take the heat.

What are some good websites for discussing technical aspects of blockchain?

The US first amendment is against Congress abridging the press as well as freedom of speech.

In addition, Milton's 1644 Areopagitica is meant to be an inspiration for the first amendment, and it is all about the need for freedom of the press.

The temples no longer contain money changers, however.

... and then a movement was started in his name which resulted in big changes in how society worked, or at least changes in how the leaders had to act in public.

Even back then, C++ introduced new keywords, so valid C code like

  int new;

would not compile in C++.

The tone may be confrontational, but the meaning is basically true.

I don't hate any language myself, only the codebases I have to deal with, but Clojure is very different from Javascript in its support for immutability, such that if you want to update values you have to use atoms, agents etc. This goes a long way towards making up for the lack of typing when trying to understand peoples code.

Some people also find the lack of random syntactical noise in Lisp style syntax preferable.

Repeating memes is the opposite of humor.

Taking down Twitter could be a huge boon for the economy, though.

The Pratchett's I have read seem to be full of basic human archetypes, riffed off for comedic effect, rather than anything approximating how real people think. He's no Shakespear/James Joyce/Henry James.

Maybe we can speciate into grunting Amazon-prime-subscribing Eloi, and the technologically literate Morlocks who feed on them.

It sounds like a good use case for logic programming.
