Yes, they have some alien failure modes. But that should be expect, they are an alien intelligence. I might be willing to grant that a lack of ability to reflect on its own level of knowledge is a demerit to it being generally intelligent. But then again it is largely an artifact of training. I suspect if there were a guessing penalty during pretraining they would develop or more readily communicate the strength/reliability of their knowledge.
No. He's wrong that every memory error is out-of-bounds access (spatial memory safety). There's also use-after-free (temporal memory safety). Arguably type confusion too but that's a grey area.
there is a big chunk of people who wouldn't afford healthcare in the USA but still have access to in Canada. I don't mind paying more taxes if this means everyone has healthcare access.
an interesting tidbit, some Windows kernel developer realized that most registry keys are ascii anyways so they could save up to 50% space simply by storing the name as ascii. The flag is called "compressed name" and they will pad with 0x00 when reading the name to make a proper utf-16 string.
Yes, exactly as they would now, when the access over IPv6 is entirely unavailable.
With that, the customers who don't use filtering by IPv4 would be able to use IPv6. Those who do use access control by IPv4 ranges would have time to sort out their IPv6 setup, without having anything broken at the moment when IPv6 is enabled.
No, if you have a dual-homed stack right now, and they only expose IPv4, you connect over IPv4, you don't attempt to connect over IPv6 and get connection denied.
That's rather the problem - there's no trivial way to mimic that policy transparently while enabling IPv6, because most stacks will default to using IPv6 if they're dual-homed and expose both, and won't fall back if IPv6 connects but gives an error. (Offhand, I think the best you could do would be to tell everyone that you're migrating to a new URI scheme to allow cloning, with IPv6 enabled, and that as part of that, you'll have to update your allow/deny rules, then, after a truly astonishingly long time and lots of nagging of anyone who never does it, make the old path an alias of the new one and let the last remaining people break.)
I understand those prompts perfectly fine, but they are panic inducing for e.g. my mom who has about a 50% chance of clicking the wrong button and losing work.
