Take care: this hasn’t been updated recently. The article says that generics are being considered, but they were added in go 1.18 which released in 2022.

Both LG and Microsoft share responsibility. LG for doing it and Microsoft for allowing it.

Laws require people to enforce them. Otherwise they are just ink on a page. If the people that have been tasked with enforcement are the ones breaking the law…

Can it do things on its own whim without any human interaction? No? Then not sentient. Get over yourself and realize LLMs are hitting your internal Turing Test.

Holy passive language headline Batman

The temperature of the surface of the seat can absolutely get that hot. Take a laser thermometer to a plastic object sitting out in the sun on a hot day and it can easily be that hot

I think the supposed logic is that if you average everyone’s predictions together you’ll be pretty close to accurate. Similar to how a crowd of people sing with near perfect pitch even though any individual in that crowd isn’t. However, this runs head first into Goodhart’s Law and immediately falls apart

I guess it depends on how you define “kinda close” since the Constitution didn’t start getting drafted until a decade later

It’s like blanket rules against felons. A felony ranges pretty significantly from trying to pass a bad check all the way to murder. Being a “registered sex offender” could just mean that the person tried to patron a sex worker, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they committed a violent or egregious offense.

I think Enterprise immediately being like “TIME TRAVEL COLD WAR” was one of the biggest narrative problems with Enterprise. It didn’t let Enterprise stand on it’s own, but was constantly shadowed by future events. IMO they should have spent more time writing ahead of the show to figure out what the overarching storylines should be rather than just figuring it out as they went.

Good hackathons don’t mean more work. They should carve out time for people to participate. However if the systems those employees are maintaining need constant work then you can’t carve out time for a hackathon because the systems will go down otherwise. It sounds like Facebook is doing the latter. A one off event will also not improve morale, just like a pizza party won’t on its own.

The meme fell off

The fact that this man put his life on the line for HIS city and then be criticized… don’t criticize a man who has kept us safe

Even if it were true that he kept you “safe”, no one is above criticism. That’s the mentality of a gang. Oh, wait…

“oops we got caught”

If that’s true, you suck at it. Git gud n00b

Air traffic control audio reviewed by CNN captured crew members of United flight 2005 describing a passenger who had made “multiple attempts to try to breach the cockpit” before law enforcement officers on board were able to restrain him.

From the article

100% agree. “AI” as it’s considered currently hits us humans like a Turing Test. It’s good enough that it makes our lizard brains think that maybe it’s a person, even though it becomes increasingly obvious that it isn’t as you use it.

CA glue (aka super glue) works extremely well with PLA. I wouldn’t recommend any special 3d print specific glue because it will probably be the same thing but with a higher price.

How about those Epstein files?

“They didn’t read the instructions” is a massive design failure. A good design doesn’t require reading instructions, especially for things that users are used to like cars.
