while P != NP

You don't know that!

That is TFA.

respect for the people you're communicating with

That is exactly why executive grammar is so bad.

it weirdly feels the most transactional out of all of them.

My experience is the opposite, it is the only LLM I find remotely tolerable to have collaborative discussions with like a coworker, whereas ChatGPT by far is the most insufferable twat constantly and loudly asking to get punched in the face.

I am sure you make this work on good faith at a small size, but how is it doable at large without insider trading, manipulation, and perverse incentives? People doing the work will be more informed and in a position to affect the outcome.

"Harun Yahya" aka Adnan Oktar the Turkish sex cult leader? Yeah he stays in the same place because he's serving 8658 years.

How does that work for you? Last I tried, any interruption during a remote Time Machine backup corrupted the entire encrypted archive, losing all backup history.

Thank you. Someone else suggested that, but I never actually asked him why, felt awkward in the moment to probe when he left it at that, without sounding like putting down his driving job. I was also too busy thinking "Holy crap in ten years I might be a driver!"

There is also a nontrivial chance of every CT scan to cause fatal cancer. It's a ton of radiation[1], and ERs love pushing it indiscriminately on vulnerable people.

Some 20 years ago I started a job at Google in Mountain View, and they were paying for a rental car, so Enterprise sent a driver to pick me up to do the paperwork. On the way I was chatting with him, telling him how amazing life at Google was, all the restaurants and the stocked kitchens and massage rooms on every floor of every building etc etc. He said "Do you know what this campus used to be before Google?" I said "Yeah, they told us at the orientation, it was SGI." The driver said, "Yes, and ten years ago it was exactly like that at SGI, too. I was an engineer there."

The analogy is apt only in that financial markets are "a form of gambling" exactly as much as sports is.

Far from it, there is no need to learn any joseki before dan level. It's even counterproductive often enough ("Learn joseki, lose two stones") before the player can study why each move is joseki and whole-board implications. A lot of it makes little sense before beginning to understand thickness and influence. A 1-dan should have strong enough tactics to play reasonable corner exchanges without any joseki knowledge, and won't be losing many games because of that.

Note that GCC/libstdc++ (as of v15.2) does not yet implement std::mdspan [1], so it needs to be imported from another reference implementation like Kokkos [2].

I remember working through Appel's compiler textbook in school, in SML and Java editions side by side, and the SML version was of course laughably more concise. It felt like cheating, because it practically was.

Fun fact: you can show that there is another binary operator that performs the same triple assignment swap.

My favorite is when I typo "Why is thisdfg algorithm the best solution?" and it goes "You are absolutely right! Algorithm Thisdfg is a much better solution than what I was suggesting! Thank you for catching my mistake!"

No true Scotland.

I knew the name sounded familiar:

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

Then came a nifty upgrade called "LED control" which installed a red LED next to that screw so all you had to do was turn until it was brightest, significantly reducing ?LOAD ERROR. Good times.

That's sed-able, if it were just that.

You can learn to touch-type on any keyboard and never ever look at it (actually gets confusing to look), and many where you never have to move your hands around either, before you need to get anywhere near chordal.

Oddly my handwriting is aesthetically better than ever in old age, but I find I just have no patience left for it. Halfway through scribbling a word my brain is screaming "come on already!" for a keyboard, and by the next word it's completely checked out of whatever thought I was supposed to jot down. It's like watching the most boring scene unfold in slow motion. I've been hearing the handwriting->memory argument for decades, but screw that. Give me >100wpm.

That example is literally Beato demonstrating that it's perfectly attainable through deliberate training. Adulthood is a separate discussion.

I signed up, typed "c++" in the search bar, and the results were... gay porn.

I might reinstall and try again when the Rust lobby chills out.

Very cool. What tooling do you use/recommend for the "small game over the weekend" scope? I keep running into either the oversized industrial end that requires serious investment to even get out of the gate, or the very lightweight offerings where you have to reinvent everything from scratch.

I had a website keep rejecting my registration at checkout, and Customer Support explained that I was tripping the bot filter for my password being too random. I had to introduce them to the concept of password managers, in 2020. It's a wild world out there.

anything that is not the business critical stuff That's an important qualifier. For skilled teams in performance-critical domains, the inflection point where any outside code becomes a low-quality/low-control liability is not that far.

I have been using one since it came out. The touch scroll strip is very spotty, not sure how much of that is software, but fine product otherwise.

To be clear, the original "bidet" fixture as found in some older European bathrooms, a second toilet bowl to squat over and manually wash, is far from useful for anyone, let alone the elderly. If people are horrified to hear the word, that's probably what they are picturing. There's also the shower hose dog wash thing which is almost as bad. To avoid confusion, the toilet seat spray feature (which is great) is often termed "bidet seat" or "washlet".

MacOS has been no exception to the enshittification trend, but Windows has always led by piles of shit, and is now shitting laps around the competition. Apple is trying to sell Apple to you. Microshit is selling you.
