If it didn't melt in summer, its start would have been further to the south.

It is correct though, since 2010 Saba is a "speciale gemeente" of the Netherlands, and its mountain is thus our highest point. Before that it was organised as a separate country "Nederlandse Antillen" with the other Cari

That genus is part of the Canidae family though. Dogs and wolves are in the Canis genus in the Canidae group. Jackals and foxes are also each their own genus, and there are a number more genuses.

Afaik, in Europe there is no person who "owns" the tip. It goes into a centralized pot that is shared by all the employees. Especially because most payments are by card (where I live), the tip first ends up with the restaurant its

If they cant figure that out, then they shouldnt do it at all. Duh. Anyway, if they're so large and special then they can hire a bunch of people. Large scale should make it easier.

People's lives, not just employees.

Why would it not be able to find reductions now, but be able to find them just by being told that P=NP is definitely true?
8.
by Scarblac 27d ago
Well then, just tell the AI that the statement is true and it will find reductions! In reality, it wouldn't depend on the truth value of the statement, but on the AI understanding the proof . If it understands it then it might be able

Sure, but just that some random statement is true isn't interesting. It's interesting if it helps understand some abstract structure better.

How would the mere knowledge that it holds, without any understanding why, be useful?

Note that for the second, that's not really a house, it's a boat (woonboot). It floats. The page lists the legal requirements for any replacement boat new owners may want to put there.

As usual this discussion is people talking past each other because some people work on web sites and others on web applications. React is great for applications, perhaps not as much for sites. I wouldn't know though.

I feel the killer feature of doing everything in JS is components. I just want to import something from a library and use it. Web pages have their code split between HTML, CSS and JS. There is no common story that works for all three except

Spreadsheet software, like Excel.

OTOH, there's spreadsheets. The abstraction is just so great that users can and do use them for anything. The problem seems to be that there's not many such great abstractions to be found.

What is done in practice, for daily development use? Building the image in memory from source files at startup?

At any rate, if the AI's side in this conversation were a human, that would be an extremely intelligent human indeed. But there's no way the thinking times would have been that short, of course.

It's hard to say because it depends on what you're looking at too, of course. But doomscrolling seems to teach your brain to never pay attention to anything for more than a few seconds, while at the same time being more exhausting

But even then, it's still the phone, in my experience. It takes up so many hours but you also don't really rest, and it also tends to keep you up too long at night. If you can replace five hours of doom scrolling with an hour of d

There's a rope around the field, if the ball goes over it without hitting the ground (like a home run) it counts for 6. If if it did hit the ground it counts for 4. They can run more than one (get to the other side, turn around, run ba

No, that would make it even less likely that they obey the law.

Their legality is very questionable given all the likely copyright infringement going on, and a state can't really ignore that.

Sometimes but I've never seen commenting counted as work.

You can only be in check or checkmate when it's your turn though.

Even if that fantasy was true in any way, the US can do enough damage to European digital systems to utterly cripple society on day 1.

And actual war, given the threats to Greenland. But especially that Microsoft blocked the work email of the ICC lead prosecutor for political reasons, that has all alarm bells ringing.

That said, it also has all the self help faults. It repeats itself a lot, is full of happy anecdotes that repeat the same thing yet again, and could have fit in a chapter.
