You can emulate recursion with iteration and a push-down stack. If it doesn’t either recurse or offer both iterations (loops) and something that can act as a stack (at least an array or so) then it’s not Turing complete though. I have yet to see a stack or user-manipulable arrays in CSS.
You need unbounded recursion. Conditionals alone can’t do that. If you have some kind of conditional go to/jump if expression that’s a different matter.
No reason we can't rely on other sensory modalities after the AI "gets good enough," either. Humans don't have LIDAR, but that doesn't mean that LIDAR is a "cheat" for self-driving cars, or something we should try to move past.
In principle, I agree; but remember that people like to save money, and that includes by not spending on excessive sensors when the minimum set will do.
What I think went wrong with Musk/Tesla/FSD is that he tried to cut costs here to save money before it would actually save money.
The whole point is calling them “mental health problems” infers there is something systematically wrong with them as opposed to the obvious result of putting men in modern society.
> putting loneliness and depression on a pedestal here
Where is this happening?
Pointing out something is entirely normal, standard and expected is in not putting it on a pedestal.
You want to condemn them too, and I won’t. Their manifestation is a sign of other problems, as shown through history, and to paint them as mental illness is a way to avoid the other problems.
I know several homeschooled students who played varsity sports for their local high school (the one that they would have been attending). I'm not sure about the universality of that, but that's an option for at least some people.
I think it's patchwork & has changed over time. When I was at high school one of my friends who was homeschooled competed with me on our academic team. His older (and far more athletically gifted brother ;-)) lettered in several varsity sports. But now that state's athletic association explicitly says no to homeschool students.
Do they? It seems like Japan recognizes that it's a major safety issue that causes a significant portion of fatalities, and is working hard to eliminate them entirely.
Obviously level crossings are riskier, but comparing the stats in this article to the OP makes it pretty clear that Florida has it's own set of issues.
The company asking for this was Microsoft. This was originally developed internally because Microsoft wanted to make Copilot usage a key performance metric - they needed a tool to measure that. I've been told as much by people at Microsoft pretty close to this tool. Now I'm speculating, but it seems like someone saw an opportunity to take that internal tool and offer it as an add-on, and pad their bonus by doing it. I suspect this release was driven strictly by supply, not by demand.
This feels like a self-sabotage by Microsoft. There are things that Copilot does well - a business-context-sensitive LLM that works between Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel is legitimately bigger than any coding tool for most of the business world. However, once Microsoft leadership made it clear that Copilot their top priority, the rest of the company got busy rebranding whatever the hell they were already doing as "Copilot". Instead of selling a tool that fits a need, (employees at) Microsoft are selling a label that checks off a quarterly metric.
They're not wrong; the attribution is part of the quote. In-game, the source of the quote is usually important, and is always read aloud (unlike in Civ).
I would argue that they are, if not wrong, at least misleading.
If you've never played Alpha Centauri (like me) you are guaranteed to believe this to be a real quote by a UN diplomat. It also doesn't help that searching for "U.N. Declaration of Rights" takes me (wrongly) to the (real) Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I only noticed after reading ethbr1's comment [1], and I bet I'm not the only one.
You are correct. However, Joe Rogan should not be the first stop for assessing the scientific plausibility of a new idea. If that is where someone is sending you, that can- and should- be a red flag.
We didn't, though! At least, not for that purpose. When India's PM Nehru said to the UN, "We are the third world," it was a profound statement that had absolutely nothing to do with economics. "Developing" and "developed" were introduced to the public conscious as a desperate attempt to stop the ignorant masses (including, at one point, me) from ruining a useful descriptor.
