even though you add the Mark to the headline, the title is still confusing. there are so many backstories to this. there is a little bit of clickbait factor.

Michael Corleone: "Oh, who's being naïve, Kay?" put the cynical aside. I would not say they are all liars. some of them sure have good hearts and want to make the world better. sometimes, they promised things they weren't sure, but they said things anyway.

There is an old joke "How do you know if a politician is lying? Their lips are moving."

These people have us arguing about nonsense while they line their pockets.

Stop assuming that these people have your best interests at heart. Cynicism is warranted because their class has earned the (poor) reputation.

can't agree more. there are a lot excellent comments that are better than the original post. I always think about a way to collect those pithy comments. so far i have not figure it out yet. i was wondering if anybody else has the same idea.

I just click "favourite" on good comments for quick access later

there is a minor mistake in this.." their minds jump to what it looked like circa 2003 - a closed source, interpreted, verbose...", C# was never interpreted. From the beginning, C# code has always been compiled to Intermediate Language (IL), which is then JIT-compiled by the .NET CLR at runtime.

To be fair, “compiled to bytecode which is JITted af runtime” is pretty common of lnaguage implementations described as “interpreted”, like CRuby.

cool, i like this iterative approach – starting small, maintaining certainty at each step. Nice job. thanks a lot

to train the network on New York Times articles, with the goal of teaching it to identify authorship. Sutskever concedes this could likely form the basis for plagiarism software one day, provided it functions well enough.

The writer's children actually inherited his empire and even wrote a book called Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens. I always wondered—if the original book was so powerful and effective, wouldn't the greatest beneficiaries be his own kids? With their father's guidance and the principles from the book, they should have achieved remarkable success. After all, you can't find a better coach than that, and it's hard to beat such a winning combination. Yet, the result is that his child ended up making a living by writing a book telling others how to succeed—rather than demonstrating that success firsthand.

thank you so much for this, it is surprising that i have never heard this part of history. the big mighty France, the land of "Liberty, equality, fraternity", could be so cruel, so stingy. it breaks my heart to hear the story like this....

As Bart Simpson might say, "In conclusion, France is a land of contrast"

The "last mile" of social change is the human brain, not consultants or LLMs.
