With all those limitations I wonder why they didn’t just use something like C…

I guess the portability of bytecode? A modern version might use WebAssembly instead which feels more suited as it’s much lower level (at least without the modern GC extensions)

It does still have object level memory safety, so it has that going for it still more than C or even a wasm based VM would.

I'm from England and I'm pretty sure gotten is a normal word here?

Trail? Terrain? I use it for walking for 10-20mins around a (mostly flat) city and I expect that’s what 90% of people use it for, the comment didn’t mention hiking

They’re saying that not prioritising (disbelieving) GPS data is bad, hence there’s no excuse for it

So that’s the same thing you’re saying

Yes, I know. And saying that as a rebuttal to a comment where I’d said the same. Hence my reply ;)

If it's no longer readable by software that's at least far better than no protection, I imagine

I've left my bag with my laptop in a station a year or two ago and went to lost property and they called me when they found it and I got in back in a day or so, I guess if they have a specific lost property office that's kind of their job but it's nice that no one tried to steal it or anything

I don’t understand why people say the Chinese Room thing would prove LLMs don’t think, to me it’s obvious that the person doesn’t understand Chinese but the process does, similarly the CPU itself doesn’t understand the concepts an LLM can work with but the LLM itself does, or a neuron doesn’t understand concepts but the entire structure of your brain does

The concept of understanding emerges on a higher level from the way the neurons (biological or virtual) are connected, or the way the instructions being followed by the human in the Chinese room process the information

But really this is a philosophical/definitional thing about what you call “thinking”

Edit: I see my take on this is listed on the page as the “System reply”

If 100 top-notch philosophers disagree with you, that means you get 100 citations from top-notch philosophers. :-P

Check out eg Dennett.... or ... his opionions about Searle; Have fun with eg... this:

"By Searle’s own count, there are over a hundred published attacks on it. He can count them, but I guess he can’t read them, for in all those years he has never to my knowledge responded in detail to the dozens of devastating criticisms they contain;"

OnlyOffice is HTML5-based too

I've used OnlyOffice, the UI is much closer to modern Office and generally feels more polished, and the compatibility is meant to be better as well

You can have sentences that are perfectly fine but have some markers of ChatGPT like "it's not just X — it's Y" (which may or may not mean it's generated)

Isn’t that kind of thing (reliance on cliché) already a valid reason for getting marked down?
