Personally I go with the recursive definition. Use the trig identity cos(x)^2 + 1 = cos(2x).

2cos(x)^2 - 1 = cos(2x).
2(2cos(x)^2 - 1)^2 - 1 = 2cos(2x)^2 - 1 = cos(4x)
2(2(2cos(x)^2 - 1)^2 - 1)^2 - 1 = 2cos(4x)^2 - 1 = cos(8x)

Keep squaring, doubling and subtracting one one the left. Keep raising by powers of 2 in the argument on the right. Eventually, if you're working with rational numbers, multiplication by 2^k moves all k fractional bits over to the integer side of the decimal, and then integer times pi is the base case of the recursion. If you rescale the units so that pi = 2^(n-1) for some n, you don't even have to think about the non-fractional part. The register value circling back to 0 is supposed to happen anyway.

You could Just as easily recursively define cos to "spiral downwards in x rather than outwards", each recursive layer reducing the argument of x by a factor of 2 until it reduces down to the precomputed value cos(machine precision).

This was all just circular reasoning

It seems obvious that AI is the future, and that ChatGPT is the most advanced AI ever created.

For me (in the medical industry), if something goes wrong and someone dies a horrible death, I can just say that I didn't write that code, ChatGPT did. Not my fault.

Next time you are at the hospital getting an MRI, I hope you think about how it's entirely possible that ChatGPT wrote the majority of the mission-critical code.

It's ok to claim that Qt's MOC optimizes for developer experience,and all other tradeoffs are acceptable.

This doesn't really matter. It's not just the MOC. Using Qt UI form files forces UIC into the picture, which also fails to be cached.

> Yes, perhaps optimizing the compilers would be nicer.

The compiler is not the problem. Obviously. WPF also uses code generators and it's not plagued with long build times.

> Maybe so, but this is not what my comment is about. What I'm saying is that MS has made much more invasive changes to C++ as a language than Qt has in its platforms or frameworks, e.g. compiler-backed extended and different behavior. Or look at C++/CX (since phased out, thankfully).

This reads like whataboutism, and fails to address Qt's problems.

Other societies are also societies of disparate cultures.

Most other societies also don’t tend to have every group at average, but some groups above average and others lower.

If you break other societies with higher average scores down by groups along fault lines in those societies, the top groups in those societies will also be doing much better than the bottom groups, and considering they have higher average scores, the top groups will likely be doing better than the top groups in the US.

Everyone is falling for tax-prep propaganda by even implying that this is a new service.

The IRS already prepares your taxes for you. There is simply no way around this: they have to prepare them to check the numbers they get from personal filings (or from Intuit etc). The additional service is the one that compares the forms people send against the form the IRS already has, and then has to follow up on every minor discrepancy.

So the direct-to-I.R.S. proposal isn't adding anything new to big government: it's eliminating an utterly pointless literal box ticking service they currently provide for free, at the expense of tax payers, and for the benefit of Intuit and pals.

If you think filing taxes is annoying, imagine working at the IRS with this system.

I wonder if all the innocent people killed in the US's overseas wars will get justice or their families get reparations. There seems like such a long list of justice that has yet to be delivered that makes me ponder if this is the beginning of an avalanche of change or just a small bump on a slow moving boulder.

No, it doesn't imply that.

Consider a scenario where I have £100 and decide to start a business as a self-employed individual. I invest £100 in inventory, but only manage to sell it for £100, resulting in zero profit. Under your hypothetical tax system, the tax authority would demand (let's say) 20% of my revenue, which amounts to £20. However, I don't have £20 to pay since I made no profit. Consequently, I am now £20 in debt to the state and essentially penalized for trying.

For a self-employed person, or a company, profit is analogous to an employed person's salary. Both represent the net flow of money or disposable income resulting from business activities or employment. This is why self-employed individuals and companies are taxed based on their profit, while employed persons are taxed on their salary.

Moreover, your use of the term "subsidy" is incorrect. A subsidy implies that the government provides financial support. In the case of a loss, the government does not send money to the individual or company. Instead, they simply refrain from taxing them, which is not a subsidy.

Note also in this example that in investing my £100, I likely generated tax revenue for the government through taxes on sales, salary, and profits on those who I bought from. So even though I paid no income tax, my activity still resulted in positive tax flows.

Finally let's imagine another example - simplified but makes a point. A grocery shop receives $1000 from customers selling bread. It bought the bread for $900 from a baker. The baker paid $850 for the flour from a mill. The mill paid $800 for the corn from a farmer. The farmer paid $750 for fertilier. In this example each entity recieves revenue, but a large portion of that money is passed on to the next entity where it is taxed again. By taxing the same money again and again even when it has already been taxed in a previous stage, the cumulative tax burden becomes higher and higher the longer the supply chain. With a long supply chain it could even exceed the total money in circulation. Mathematically, taxing revenue just doesn't make sense.

Do you actually mean "pushing them up", or is this code for "filter out underperformers"?

This goes to the root of the issue. What is the whole point of a school? Is it to help students learn and improve? Or is it to serve as a series of challenges to eliminate and filter out people based on arbitrary people?

If the goal is to lift up people, you need to pick them up from down where they are at.

It'll most likely improve in the future, I'm sure. The amount of real-world progress this will bring to humanity boggles the mind. I think we'll see progress in many and as-of-yet unthought of areas, because the power of mathematics, algorithms, and advanced systems will become available to a lot more people due to this "helpful uncle".

I do hope they work on improving its math skills though, also in the sense that it can explain the steps taken when solving equations or algorithms, or even how algorithms could perhaps be "translated" and implemented in various languages. In my opinion this is key to understanding mathematics, and a whole host of other systems as well. Moreover, it helps people who previously didn’t have the capacity to understand these things, so the effect on “world knowledge” is cumulative.

Personally, ChatGPT has been a great help for understanding many things a lot better, everything from mathematical equations to subsystems in Linux. And of course, it has helped me improve my coding.
That's why this technique is good though.

Look at the 3 words I modified..

kryptonian, muggle and the last was '47 ronin'.

Alternate case, make some substitutions for letters with numbers/symbols, add in additional numbers/symbols, and you'jj have something that isn't trivial to bruteforce.

Once you know the core words you are using, you only have to memorize the substitutions you have made, which is much easier.
You might be interested to know about mod 2^m -1. Look at these numbers:

32640, 15420, 39321, 43690

In binary they look like:
1111111100000000, 0111100001111000, 0011001100110011, 0101010101010101

How cute. They are like little one bit precision sine waves.

I assure you that these numbers multiplied by each other mod (2^16 -1) are all equal to zero. When multiplied by themselves they shift position. test it for yourself. Long story short, in the field of mod 2^16 -1, 2^x works just like e^pi i, these numbers function just like sine and cosine, and you can even make linear superposition out of them and use them as a basis to decompose other ints into "frequency space."

Even better, the number i is represented here. There's a number int this modulo system which squares to 1111111111111110 (aka -1). Once you see it, you can implement fast sine and cosine directly through 2^{ix} = cos(x) + i sin(x).

Cool right.

Have fun.

I think the point here is that the "DM" has not set this up. From how I
interacted with ChatGPT, and I have roleplayed with it before, it basically
"Yes, and ..."-es everything you throw at it. In general this is good GM advice,
but here it is "Yes, and ..." to a point were you can basically ask for anything
and it will give it to you.

E.g. say the party is in a remote keep at the edge of the wildernis, the closest
city is several days away. I would assume that if you ask ChatGPT to go to "the
bakery" because you want some fine deserts it will gladly let you do that even
though such a place does not make sense in a remote keep.

It's the crux of the issue for me.

I'm not at all against nuclear reactors as part of the energy mix of some countries but the vast majority of countries do not have the infrastructure (socioeconomic included) to properly maintain dozens of reactors going with a stellar safety record.

It takes a lot of money, low corruption, stability, and properly following procedures to keep nuclear reactors safe. I can't see those conditions being met by a large set of countries over 5-7 decades to consider nuclear reactors as a solution. When you consider that even Japan with Fukushima had issues with designing a safe plant...

Knowing the subtlelties of memory management in the 80' didn't help the Ruby coders to create RoR and run Basecamp, or the Python coders to create Django and run the Washington Post.

People jumped at ORM, CSS frameworks and JS wrappers, and won the day because they traded memory and CPU for what the user wanted.

The new generation will do the same. They will figure out how to be super productive with AI, way more than what we are. And our superpower will be useful in specialized cases, but mostly, their impacts will be small compared to the order of magnitude of speed they'll gain by using the new paradigm.

People said interpreted languages were a waste, that you had to learn SQL, that Electron was an abomination.

But the people building stuff always win, not what we think is the right way.

That's why PHP won at some point. JS won at some point.

And something super practical (but that will make us say uhh...) made by AI will win at some point.

That's also why all the open letters and ethics committees will have no impact: the short term advantage given to AI users will be such that they will take everything over by storm.

It's already happening in porn: we just gave millions of teenage boys a shiny new toy, and they are spending days and nights on it. New incredible models come out every day. Some hyper specialized. Last week, I saw a publication of a new model specially trained on only vagina called "bettervulva" and one for boobs called "breastinclass". Somebody spent hundreds of hours on those, collecting the data, annotating it, and training.

I guarantee each niche of the world is doing exactly the same. Not to mention each new model is coded with somebody who has the previous models to help with the new one, code included.

This is snowball from now on.
