I completely agree. LLMs are incredibly useful for improving the flow and structure of an argument, not just for non-native speakers, but even for native English speakers.

Making texts more accessible through clear language and well-structured arguments is a valuable service to the reader, and I applaud anyone who leverages LLMs to achieve that. I do the same myself.
> she knew I was too stupid to use a word like that.

Oh... It is the story of my school math education. I always got bad marks, because I was "too stupid to come up with this particular solution to the problem". I didn't thought it was really unfair, because I thought myself to be lazy, and I looked for such solutions to math problems that would minimize my work. Oftentimes I ignored textbook ways to solve problems and used my own. I believed that it was a cheating, so naturally I got worse marks, but I put up with that, because I was lazy to do it in more complex way from a textbook.

US Government Says Relying on Chinese Lithium Batteries Is Too Risky

That's nowhere close to the same thing. Productive assets like road infrastructure often has no payback because the government gives them away for free.

And the reason we're losing to China is because China invested in hundreds of Solyndras. You're learning the wrong lesson from Solyndra.

That's not quite how things work, file permissions don't magically go way just because they land in tmp, this is only a problem if your file permissions are setup wrongly and implicitly relied on parent folders etc.

But then file permissions being "wrong" or relying on the parent folder is the norm...

I wonder if it does keep ACLs associated with the file.

You can still do written essay evaluations. You could just require proctored exams whether or not you use software like Examsoft. If it's a topic that benefits from writing from a store of material, you can permit students to bring either unlimited supplemental printed material or a limited body of printed material into the exam room.

For longer essays, you can just build in an oral examination component. This face time requirement is just not that hard to include given that even in lecture hall style settings you can rely on graduate student TAs who do not really cost anything. The thing is that the universities don't want to change how they run things. Adjuncts in most subjects don't cost anything and graduate students don't cost anything. They earn less than e.g. backroom stocking workers. This is also why they, by and large, all perform so poorly. 30 minutes of examiner time costs maybe $11 or less. Even for a lecture class with 130 students, that's under $1,500. Big woop.

There are some small changes to grading practices that would make life very hard for AI cheaters, such as even cite checking a portion of citations in an essay. The real problem is that US universities are Soviet-style institutions in which gargantuan amounts of cash are dumped upon them and they pretend to work for it while paying the actual instructors nothing.
Very cool! Similar to mind map extraction and search in airesearch.js.org and you can integrate specific functions. For example it would help the mind map for it to be self organizing in the nodes and connections
It seems plausible to me that someone is just trying to exacerbate political/social conflict. Russia has been known to do such things, and they often take multiple sides just to sow chaos. Self-identifying as Palestinian activists would be an effective way to get more people mad that otherwise wouldn't care.

This is also right before a major U.S. election, and that might not be a coincidence. Someone might be trying to get Trump elected by drawing attention to the Israel-Gaza conflict, a topic that isn't exactly a winning issue for Harris.

That's just one possibility of many though. I mean, might just be regular assholes that happen to also be pro-Palestinian. Or pro-Hamas, which isn't necessarily the same thing.
In my experience with Node, these "familiar JavaScript errors" were extremely cryptic and had little to do with the actual issue most of the time. And talking about segfaults is pure FUD - it's not as if a build tool written in another language will throw a segfault at you if your JS code is broken. And if it does, you should file a bug report - same as you would for Node (maybe some JS developers have the knowledge to hunt for bugs in JS-written build tools, but I doubt even those have a particular desire to actually do it).
Please give us details, because this seems unbelievable.
Narrator: It hasn't.
This precedent is problematic I think. It seems like the populist way of addressing issues. Always just following the biggest outcry instead of the symptoms.
Just because there are currently more illegitimate users for a a thing we shouldn't prevent legitimate uses I think. The ratio might just be skewed because in the legitimate world you grow your audience with marketing investing tons of capital, while for illegitimate use cases, the marketing is often just word of mouth because of features.
Given that AWS has been around for nearly two decades they have probably encountered and have a workaround/fix for 99.99% of the use cases.

Of course there’s a minuscule possibility of you having a new use case. But is that good enough reason to build your infrastructure? That is a business call you need to make.
On the server, you wouldn't choose wasm, you'd choose a language that compiles to wasm. Which is really just saying "choose another language": there's no point in compiling (e.g.) Rust to wasm just to run it with Node on the server.

I'm not going to look up legal precedent, hire a lawyer if you want that.

You are wrong, copyright specifically prohibits copying, not distribution. They can get a cease and desist that requests you destroy property and they ca get a court order backing that which will put you into contempt of court if you fail to do so.

Proving damages is easier with distribution, but that is a civil matter not a criminal matter.

The only case where a computer programmer "kills someone" is where he hacks into a system and interferes with it in a way that foreseeably leads to someone's death.

Otherwise, the user voluntarily assumed the risk.

Frankly if someone lets a computer drive their car, given their own ample experiences of computers "crashing", it's basically a form of attempted suicide.

So I never looked into it closely, but I knew that the 3 and 15 kopeck coins had names of their own of Tatar origin, so it had to have had a long history.

According to wikipedia [1,2,3], as a physical coin it was minted periodically throughout Russian history. The Tatar origin of its informal historical name is either 'gold'[4] or 'six'[5].

It was last introduced in 1839-1841 and persisted into Soviet period, until 1991 when it was discontinued by the newly independent Russia. The 1/2/3/5 weight system had to be of the Soviet design, since the metric system was adopted following the Bolshevik revolution, but the weights and dimensions haven't changed since 1926 [6].

People have their favorite phrases or words, but also as readers we fixate on words that we don't personally use, and project that onto the writer.

But as a second language learner, you notice that people get stuck on particular words during writing sessions. If I run into a very unusual (and unnecessary) word, I know they're going to use it again within a page or two, maybe once after that, then never again.

I blame it on the writer remembering a cool word, or finding a cool word in a thesaurus, then that word dropping out of their active vocabulary after they tried it out a couple times. There's probably an analogue in LLMs, if just because that makes unusual words more likely to repeat themselves in a particular passage.

The problem is that if you're a regular-sized company, you will never reach any support person with experience inside AWS ;) And paying for Enterprise-grade support at a medium to small scale is probably more expensive than just hiring 1 skilled operator. And in the latter case, it then doesn't matter anymore if the problem takes 1 hour our 10 hours because your employee can take as much time as needed.

This has not been my experience at multiple companies with AWS, even with heavy spend – your tickets have to make it through a gatekeeper who has no more idea than you on how to fix it, and more triage than anything else.
You have to make a PRODUCT, not an hello world app :)
You also need to add PPAs to get the non-snap versions of certain applications, like Firefox, since Ubuntu's deb package for it just installs the snap.
I think the question is not about the persistence of uploaders but the safe harbor of innocent hosters.

For example, hosting a password-protected binary with a cleared hash is one thing. The bad actor posting a password (any password) might be another.
It's not the same product, even if you consider just virtual machines rather than higher level services that others commenters are referring to. Sure public cloud is more expensive but you pay for the reliability of not being bound to physical hardware. When you buy a dedicated machine from OVH or Hetzner, you get a great deal for the compute power, but if something goes wrong with the hardware, you're stuck waiting for a technician to fix it.

Take the recent Lichess downtime, for example. Their main server had a hardware issue that required physical intervention. This meant the site was down for over 10 hours, and there wasn't much they could do except wait for OVH to send a tech.

If Lichess had been on AWS, the provider would have automatically moved their workload to a functioning server, and the outage would have been much shorter or possibly avoided altogether.

For Lichess, a non-profit, this tradeoff still make sense. Their service, while important to its users, isn't critical. Nobody dies if Lichess is down and the cost savings help them keep running. But if your business can't afford downtime, the extra guarantees from a public cloud provider can definitely be worth paying for.

> Most top athletes are retiring around 35. Their bodies are ruined like those who need to physically work hardly every day. They look elder as well.

This isn't a true statement. Just turn on golf or bowling or cycling or marathon running or triathlons for a few hours. People retire from sports early for lots of reasons. The ones whose bodies are wrecked are overwhelmingly the ones in impact sports.

But athletes also retire because they're no longer competitive. A 40 year old, on average, can't jump as high or run as fast as as 27 year old. You're not going to be a successful 50 year old basketball player when you're up against people decades younger than you.

My explanation if someone asks is that I thought they were good opportunities but I was concerned about my job security after all of the issues and more I listed above.

This has been my argument forever, and it’s always met with disagreement, because entirely too many people have no desire to learn their tooling. They just want an API that they can push data into, and get it back out. What happens inside is irrelevant.

Well, that's not necessarily true. I was perhaps the most importunate student ever, and lingered around my professor's offices whenever they were open. I had endless questions, off topic and on. I was curious sure, but I was also annoying and pushy and wouldn't take no for an answer.

In fact, the only reason I use the word 'importunate' to describe myself, is because that's what my undergrad advisor called me.

So I at least was able to get well over 30m with each professor to discuss whatever I wanted. But likely that's b/c there wasn't a lot of competition.

Well, it's not like there are that many alternatives. macOS is out of the price range for public service and most large companies, in addition to a lot of specialist software not being available for macOS.

Linux has it even worse regarding application compatibility on desktop - and no, WINE is not an option, because the kind of software used in public services comes with strict stipulations where you can run it, sometimes down to minor versions, and if you violate that, the vendor can and will refuse support. For a lot of FOSS software, there isn't even commercial support available so it gets automatically off the list because companies actually want to pay people so that they have someone to talk to when they get issues. And that's before you hit the cost wall that is employee (re)training.

IMHO, it would have been the role of our governments to mandate MS get their shit together first before diving into AI and advertising crap.
You'd choose wasm on the server if you're using a framework that supports it. For example:

I have, yes. I have gotten some compliments from reviewers for clarity as well, if that's worth anything.

As pointed out already by others, some jargon is necessary, and using difficult language can be seen as a way to prop up credibility.

As a personal anecdote, I've known someone (from an unknown institute) who deliberately didn't want to make his results sound as simple and accessible as they could have been. However, most top people whose papers I've read are written with clarity and unnecessary jargon.
They are advocating for a holistic approach for safety. But of course, when talking about a specific part of that, they’ll talk about the specifics. With regards to programming languages, memory safety is the next big thing to tackle.
