chemical sensing is still quite good though.


Gain Of Function research is far more pressing, non-hypothetical, issue which may have already caused a major pandemia.


How about NeurVA, NeurTN or NeurOLED?


IPS in NeurIPS stands for Information Processing Systems.


Cannot find any confirmation to your statement. Otoh "All null pointer values (of compatible typewithin the same address space) are already required to compare equal. " in the limked paper.


NULL is not single type in any conventional sense (and is actually tricky to define in a way that makes it usable in the way most programmers expect).

Thus:

  T1* a = NULL;
  T2* b = NULL
  a == b; /* may be undefined at present, depending on the nature of T1 & T2 */


"NULL" in fact is a macro, not a part of the language. null (zero pointer) is, and it is explicitly defined in standard, that comparison of two null pointers lead to equality. You example simply won't compile, it is not undefined; the pointers simply are of different type, period.

here what standard says:

"A pointer to void may be converted to or from a pointer to any object type.

Conversion of a null pointer to another pointer type yields a null pointer of that type. Any two null pointers shall compare equal."

therefore, convert any of them or both to void amd compare. you'll get equality.


LLM hallucinations in fact has a positive side effect too, if you are using them for learning some subject; makes you verify their claims, and finding errors in them is very rewarding.


Why not just read a book where the author is sincerely trying to teach you?


When trying to learn a subject I find being able to ask my specific questions and getting a specific answer back is helpful. I find books tend to be laborious and filled with frankly filler, often poorly indexed, and when my question isn’t covered in the book I’m left with no recourse other than googling through SEO wastelands or on topic forum questions with off topic replies. At least with LLMs they always have an answer that’s got enough of the truth in it to give me a direction, or often when I’ve gone into an area with genuinely no known answers or the thing doesn’t exist the answer is easily verified as wrong - but that process, as was pointed out above, teaches me a lot too. I actually prefer the mistakes it makes because it forces me to really learn - even to the point of giving me things to look up in the index of a book.

Treating LLMs as a single source of truth and a monolithic resource is as bad an idea as excluding them as a tool in learning.


Not as interactive, not gamified.


School, then. Which is so gamified that it has real stakes. And so much interactions.


With an interactive LLM you can take a manual and start asking questions (about what you read), also recursively.

It is a very efficient way of studying. No, doing it with a professor is not the same - unless you can afford an always available tutor of unthinkable erudition.


You are not being serious at this point. OTOH I find that chatting with LLMs helps me in studying a lot, esp. when I fight over subtle hallucinations.


Never understood this kind of sensational statements without inflation adjustment. Although does not make difference in this case, but all these claims "X has never been this expensive" often ignore inflation adjustment; render them meaningless.


Surely you're not serious. The price of 1 bitcoin was less than a dollar in 2010.


As I emphasized, very clearly, that it does not make difference in this very particularly case, I want to stress, nontheless, that the phrasing of the title is misleading; from what you've said yourself, we need to measure bitcoin price in 2010 dollars then, as the title suggests "first time in history", presumingly Bitcoin history. Guess what it is not there yet. It is 80K in 2010 dollars.


I think OCaml needs a face lift to make it look like Rust.


I believe they did that and called it Rust.


No. I meant literally, leaving all the semantincs intact.


Fun fact: the first Rust compiler was written in OCaml


That's kind of a thing already, the ReasonML syntax (not to be confused with ReScript, which is a fork of both this syntax and the toolchain). The dune build system supports ReasonML out of the box, I think.


ribosomes are not proteins though.


(to clarify: Ribosomes are composed of mostly protein; they are protein/RNA complexes in which the enzymatic functionality is implemented by RNA enzymes that are decorated with proteins that stabilize the complex, as well as increase its efficiency).


"tiling"? what do you mean by that?


Tooling, sorry, was on my phone.


If someone is making a brazen statement of being "a bad guy because 80K is not enough, and could not find anything decent for those extra $30K" what kind of treatment would they expect?


To be fair, there's a huge amount of people around here that work on the universal surveillance industry, and for many of them the alternative is way higher than 80k.


I’d argue that someone cracking CAPTCHAs has a lot less dirty hands than someone who works in an actually scummy industry like US health insurance. Those companies literally kill people by denying them care to pinch pennies. This guy might cause a little more spam on the already useless mess that is YouTube comments. Who cares. I’d take the money, too.


Typical US-centric way of thinking. If your healthcare system is crippled it does not justify making internet mess for everyone else in the world.


I’d have suggested adtech before health insurers.


Tobacco pays real well
