Math describes the world. It does not dictate how it acts. If your mathematical model is coming out with infinite growth and you're not a complete moron, you recognize quickly that your model doesn't apply to the real world.
We're currently in an ice age. Life has existed and indeed thrived greatly in warmer climates than this.
People don't understand exponential growth.
We hear this all the time, and the implication is supposed to be that people underestimate the scale of the growth.
But there's a flip side to that coin when it comes to the actual real world: negative feedbacks. The real world doesn't have infinite resources for growth. The real world doesn't maintain a single growth rate until it overruns it's tiny glass test tube or whatever container they're using to scare you.
The Emmy's have abandoned broadcast television. Why haven't you?
But the computers are getting worse at math. One of the cited examples was retracted for a flipped number sign. That's the type of error computers never used to make.
They do no reasoning.
But sometimes they are programmed by humans to integrate with traditional logic code.
Ad networks have a hard time figuring out if I'm a 20s year old kid, a middle-aged woman, or a senior man. I'm not too concerned about AI being able to pin me down.
Could also stem from training for certain types of tasks coming largely from male dominated content producers online. If men dominate a field, then their speech patterns dominate that field as well, and those speech patterns are likely to be perceived as more qualified.
If a doctor starts talking like a valley girl instead of right out of Hyderabad, some patients are going to become uncomfortable.
Right. But that does not change anything about derivative works.
That's not how that works. Making transformative adjustments allows you to claim copyright over the work as a whole. No one cares about copyrighting a function call.
IMO, anyone who spends any amount of time watching other people play games they don't play is a fucking loser.
Sammy boy, you should accept that some bad things are going to happen to you. A bit of hot man feces in your dinner here, and cold cock while walking the streets of SF there. You know, regular acceptable shit.
Bruh, Americans spend upwards of 10% of their lives in their cars commuting. This shit saves lives.
Probably because in the United States, about 95% of the country has no homes but is accessible to vehicles.
Is a computer language with goto's totally Wirth-less?
