Sure but my father isn't asking his fellow humans unanswerable questions about God and the universe. People don't treat other people as omnipotent, but they sure as hell treat LLMs as though they are.

>People don't treat other people as omnipotent

Funny you mention God and this statement, because believing in any particular God that says they are omnipotent is believing that humans are, since you know humans made this crap up.

Given the opportunity a very large part of the population will quickly absolve themselves of any responsibility and put it on another human/system/made up entity.


well actually since 1 == 0.999999… and 98.82 is 98.91999999… there are an infinite number of 9s

This is cool, just don't let Rob Pike see this, he will have a conniption. Glad you called out that it shouldn't be used because this is about the most magical thing I have ever seen in Go


The lesson of the post is that Go is compiled to machine-specific object code mapped to a non-writable text segment in an OS-specific process. What's really magical is that compilers save you from such dangerous and non-portable details.


There is a popular postgres client for Go called pgx. This naming will likely sow confusion


Now, do one about neurodivergent brains and confirmation bias


psa, "is comprised of" is almost never correct. "comprises" means "is composed of". so when people say X is comprised of Y they really mean "X comprises Y" or "X is composed of Y"


This is exactly why BYD is and should continue to be banned in the US. It’s not that they are doing this, but that they have done it and they have the capability


should US products be banned outside the US because NSA has done all those fancy things and have the capability to do it again?


I think it would be eminently reasonable for e.g. China to ban US products on those grounds.


no matter what excuses are used, it is called "闭关锁国", for which every Chinese kid got taught it to be a bad thing. Chinese learnt it the hard way as they did exact that 500 years ago and that didn't end very well.


NSA sold cars with remote bricking feature?


their chatkit demo (chatkit.world) doesn't even work in safari. also "react bindings" and "vanilla js" isn't exactly "framework-agnostic". I don't like the idea of embedding someone else's UI in my app. This seems like an overly generalized solution for a specific set of problems.


it doesn't work in chrome either


LLM improvement is a sigmoid, not a parabola. The sooner we understand this, the less money we will lose to deceptive marketing


Isn't this what Unwrap() is for? errors.Is calls Unwrap if it's available and then compares _that_ error.


Yes, but “an Is method should only shallowly compare err and the target and not call Unwrap on either”:
