Xor isn't Turing complete sadly.

It's not UB. Integer promotion applies, the signed int is implicitly coerced to unsigned (or the other way around - don't remember which.)

Yeesh, one illegal move attempt means you just lose? That's harsh...

Javascript/PCRE/etc regexes have additional features (like backreferences) that give them strictly more computational power than a regular DFA/NFA. (Still not Turing complete though without external control flow to support arbitrary iteration/recursion, like is done here)

So it is NP (in fact P)

We Americans can't understand ourselves either.

Right wing anti-environmentalist political statement.

Updated nginx on all my company's VMs as soon as I found out about this

Nintendo Switch does not run Linux, it runs a proprietary OS called Horizon based on the Nintendo 3DS firmware. Not sure but it might or might not have some BSD code in the network stack or something.

I'd bet even more Linux usage is ChromeOS which even more barely counts, and certainly both are dwarfed by Android which simply doesn't count.

It's like simple n-gram Markov chain algorithms vs modern LLMs for text

Read that as "only depends on the base dotnet runtime." I think the C# compiler at least can emit native code these days, but I'm not primarily a dotnet dev either so not too familiar with that.

27 unique levels. 40KB minus a handful of spare bytes and some unused code. The max the NES can support without mappers. Modern NES homebrew and demoscene can do fancier stuff with this budget given the extra decades of learned tricks, but for the state of console gaming in 1985, SMB1 is damn impressive.

Also remember all of that was ROM, the NES had a mere 2 kilobytes of RAM for all your variables and buffers.

Best (for older kids) would be a dumb cell phone like we had in the 2000s. Good for phone calls, texting, and simple offline apps like casual games, camera and music player. Maybe email. Definitely no web browser, youtube, or social media crap.

I don't know the extent to which such devices are still manufactured today.

Problem with f16 is that hardware support is still "new" and can't be relied on in consumer grade CPUs yet.

GP is asking about the text prompt itself, not the generated image. If pure text can qualify as CSAM in Australia then it's a logical question.

I believe this means "VBMACXOR16X16X16" is now officially the longest x86 mnemonic

Question: why did they decide to make /usr/bin the "primary" and /bin the symlink? Methinks it should have been the other way around as was the original Unix design before the split.

Also the first URL is serving me scam popup ads that do a crap job at pretending to be android system alerts. Next time please try to choose a more reputable source.

Thankfully it's trivially easy to disable OneDrive via the task manager startup tab. Never had any issues with MSFT sneakily turning it back on either.

This super aggressive OneDrive shit is also why I've stopped putting most things in the standard folders and now just have my own alternative hierarchy in %USERPROFILE% instead.

And on macOS if you need bash > 3.2

What is the alternative to PGP for the specific use case of secure email? That doesn't mandate dealing with the X509 certificate bureaucracy?

As long as you don't have any security compliance requirements and/or can afford the cost of self hosting your LLM, sure.

Anyone working in government, banking, or healthcare is still out of luck since the likes of Claude and GPT are (should be) off limits.

I would add to that, replace #include with a proper module system that fixes the encapsulation and redundant parsing problems once and for all.

It's 2025 and C++ modules still aren't suitable for real world use yet despite being standardized 5 years ago.

Additionally standardize the ABI up front so that different compilers can interoperate. Make namespaces native to the object file format.

Also, explicitly standardize a compiler optimization mode that does not try to exploit UB in eldritch ways that break basic assumptions about how the machine works for 1% performance gain. I get that's an undecidable problem so it's ok if some extra annotations (call them "attributes" and write them [[like this]]) are needed here for explicit optimizer hints.

No doubt Nintendo was involved in the lobbying effort for this. Back in the 80s they successfully pushed to amend Japanese copyright law to ban game rentals.

Per IEEE 754, yes, but JS the language doesn't distinguish between NaN representations.

Also, NaN is the only value in JS that isn't === to itself, so if for some reason you want to test for strict value identity with the value NaN of type number, that's one way to do it:

if(x !== x) ... // x is NaN

In other words, certain people banned for political reasons are now being unbanned for political reasons.

Looks like an early stage, immature project, but it's a neat concept.

It seems Windows Defender flags the zip download as a trojan. Likely false positive since scans on the unzipped exe (Defender and virustotal) come back clean.

I'd suggest providing a way to disable the builtin schemas in case someone wants to use it for more tech things as opposed to business things.

Note: this has absolutely nothing to do with the Windows registry, despite the name

In Australia, apparently
