Callbacks and decorators are fine, but callbacks/decorators to a function which itself takes a function pointer and returns another function pointer are crazy.

I’ve thankfully never had to use recursive callbacks or decorators, but it seems like it could very quickly become difficult to keep track of.

If you actually use code like this you’re insane.

Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

So, hormones don’t exist?
Intersex people don’t exist?
Trans people don’t exist?
And what, we’re all either 100% male or 100% female and there is never a grey area in biology?

Don’t make the conscious decision to remain ignorant, you’re keeping yourself back.

Looks like a piet program

Ooh look at mr hundredair over here, thinking he’s better than the rest of us. You’ll get what’s coming to ya, pal.

And don’t think for one second that I’ll be turning a blind eye to the rest of you positive balance freaks.

That’s a great question! Let’s go over the common factors which can typically be used to differentiate humans from AI:

🧠 Hallucination
Both humans and AI can have gaps in their knowledge, but a key difference between how a person and an LLM responds can be determined by paying close attention to their answers.

If a person doesn’t know the answer to something, they will typically let you know.
But if an AI doesn’t know the answer, they will typically fabricate false answers as they are typically programmed to always return an informational response.

✍️ Writing style
People typically each have a unique writing style, which can be used to differentiate and identify them.

For example, somebody may frequently make the same grammatical errors across all of their messages.
Whereas an AI is based on token frequency sampling, and is therefore more likely to have correct grammar.

❌ Explicit material
As an AI assistant, I am designed to provide factual information in a safe, legal, and inclusive manner. Speaking about explicit or unethical content could create an uncomfortable or uninclusive atmosphere, which would go against my guidelines.

A human on the other hand, would be free to make remarks such as “cum on my face daddy, I want your sweet juice to fill my pores.” which would be highly inappropriate for the given context.

🌐 Cultural differences
People from specific cultures may be able to detect the presence of an AI based on its lack of culture-specific language.
For example, an AI pretending to be Australian will likely draw suspicion amongst Australians, due to the lack of the word ‘cunt’ in every sentence.

💧Instruction leaks
If a message contains wording which indicates the sender is working under instruction or guidance, it could indicate that they are an AI.
However, be wary of predominantly human traits like sarcasm, as it is also possible that the commenter is a human pretending to be an AI.

🎁 Wrapping up
While these signs alone may not be enough to determine if you are speaking with a human or an AI, they may provide valuable tools in your investigative toolkit.
Resolving confusion by authenticating Personally Identifiable Information is another great step to ensuring the authenticity of the person you’re speaking with.

Would you like me to draft a web form for users to submit their PII during registration?

Cool, so I’ll get started on building an automated business that sells cheap access to all the music, movies and shows on the streaming services.

Getting consent for each title would basically kill my business and would be implausible, so I’ll just assume it’s ok.

Agreed. I don’t understand the people who claim it’s easier to work with, or better for prototyping.

Automatic typing exists. Type casting exists and is even handled automatically in some scenarios. Languages like java and C# can manage memory for you, and have the same portability and runtime requirement as python.

Prototyping in python and then moving to another language later makes no sense to me at all.

I think it’s context dependent.

The field is called mathematics, but I see math as a short form of mathematic or mathematical.

Calling something a ‘math’ question or a ‘maths’ question both make sense. But something like “I hate math” sounds like you hate a singular mathematic, which sounds weirder to me than “I hate maths” (the field).

You look and sound like the ‘you on kazoo’ kid for the rest of your life. Even at 80 years old, everyone thinks you’re a 9 year old.

If you’ve ever been in a position where you weren’t able to relicense an entire project as GPL, or were developing for a platform that doesn’t allow LGPL3 libraries to be used because users can’t replace the LGPL3-licensed binary (ios, android, game consoles, proprietary hardware), which I’m sure many people with programming careers have experienced at some point, you’ll quickly find that any copyleft-licensed library is effectively useless to you.
I would wager that those who have had to deal with that before are much less likely to use a copyleft license for future projects.

There’s also a lot of small projects where the developer doesn’t care about licensing. They just want the code out there, and for anyone to be able to use it, as long as they get some recognition for making it.

Most people aren’t lawyers, and don’t care enough to read all the different licenses and compare them all. They pick the simplest one that ensures anyone can do anything with it, and they aren’t held liable for anything.

Apache is too full of legalese for most people to bother reading. BSD has different versions which make it more complicated to pick which one you want. MIT has much less confusion about versions (there are different versions, but most people associate ‘MIT license’ with the most common one).

And then the existing popularity helps lock in a license choice once you’ve picked a license category. “If MIT is good enough for ‘x’, it’s good enough for me.”

Why the hostility?

It seems pretty clear to me that they meant there’s no “what is a woman” definition that’s shared between all laws of a government.

Each law defines the terms they contain, which can contradict definitions found in other laws.

When one law changes its definition of a term, it doesn’t mean other definitions of the term are also changed.

Change the start menu search so instead of finding local applications and files, it searches the internet.
Would be even funnier if it used the worst search engine available.
Oh wait…

I have aged since but I’m not quite 27 yet, so maybe it worked?
I’ll try adding that eyeglass cleaner and let you know how it’s going when I’m 40.

Are most relationship counselors saying that though?
Like you said, professionals can be wrong, but I’d still be interested in knowing what the general consensus is.

I guess it’s hard to know without surveying them all.

Holy shit you just reminded me of my childhood.
I remember mixing all the things I could find in the bathroom because I thought it would make your hair grow faster and might be the secret to immortality, because none of the scientists would have considered mixing dove and palmolive together.
