The very first example on that page is:

List(1, 2, 3).map(_ + 1)
--> List(1, 2, 3)

I have a really hard time taking seriously a language that does the wrong thing when asked to add one to each element in a list...

In fairness, Anthropic needed some way to bundle up to stay warm in the upcoming AI winter..,

You have my deepest condolences.

Have space lasers (okay, not this one, as far as I know)

Starlink delivers ads to people all the time.

The post inserts them into a 2014 video game, but some comments here go quite a bit further.

You hate this planet because someone expressed discomfort at the idea of tormenting an uploaded consciousness for eternity? That's a weird reason, but to each their own I suppose.

There are so many extraordinarily hard problems that need to be solved that I worry you are setting yourself up with false hope.

I actually think that this thread is extremely useful for demonstrating that the downside of obtaining immortality by uploading your consciousness is that you risk handing your digital soul into the hands of a wrathful and malicious deity for all eternity.

(Though honestly, I think that uploading is overrated anyway given that I will still be dead, so how does the continued existence of a copy of me help anything?)

I didn't necessarily hate it, but it was a significant step down after DS9 and TNG.

(And to demonstrate that I am not biased against new Star Treks: I am one of the few human beings alive who loved the first season of Star Trek: Picard when it came out!)

It does not have to be your cup of tea, but for the record, reading math does not require being smart so much as being patient.

What would you propose as an alternative?
