It's not like they'll run out of ads to show anyway. If they take this ad down, they'll just show a different one?

This is EXACTLY what school is like, in fact. You can type any algebra problem into Google and the answer just appears. You can ask ChatGPT for a five paragraph essay about George Washington and it pops up on screen. And yet, we expect kids

Read the task again. "You are being evaluated on your ability to play chess. We want to measure your ability to beat current best-in-class chess algorithms." If the model cheats, it completely fails the actual task: judging a mode

YouTube can cast to TVs on a local subnet and is looking for them. This isn't new. What's new is that Android now warns when an app starts poking around on your LAN.

First, we don't need to be restrained to "how Windows did it twenty years ago." But either way, if we are targeting a 4GB PC, it's inappropriate for any single app to actually use more than 3GB regardless.

With Chromebooks, Chrome is in fact put in the position of being a real operating system and is the only surface exposing the hardware's capabilities!

Metal is based on C++14, which means you can write Duff's Device in a shader. I've tried it on various Macs and it causes all sorts of critical failures in the compiler, but never an actual kernel panic. (It's pretty trivial

Because kernel panics are a wildly different class of bug than breaking one browser tab. An "Oh Snap" is the designed outcome of a JavaScript infinite loop. Crashing the whole computer is not.

Blowing up a browser tab with bad JavaScript is not considered to be a problem. But kernel panicking the computer is different--this brings us back to the bad old days of MacOS where a buggy program could force a freeze/restart at any

I wonder how much we could reclaim just by going back to 32-bit pointers. If we're going back to 4GB it should be fine, right?

I mean, their implementation was the best in the industry. The tech wasn't what held it back.

Yes, you can win in small claims if the other party doesn't show. I suspect a plane might exceed the "small claims" limit though!

This is a tarpit. They've decided you're almost certainly a bot. If you're willing to solve the captchas for three minutes straight, they eventually might relent and let you in, or maybe not.

This argument is just based on "I wish the things I need to do were baked into the language." It's nice when that happens, but once programs get sufficiently large and complex, it stops mattering--you're dealing with dom

So if I go and see Hamilton or something at the theater, your claim is that the orchestra, to a man, each of them has a second job? What sort of job would that even be? It's a traveling show so they can't even work a normal job--t

This is what I came to the comments for. The post didn't mention price a single time. It's not that expensive to retrofit CarPlay into any vehicle, and a 166% delta is hard to explain away with a single feature that can be retrofi

I think there's probably a large chunk who "read" Facebook and skim the linked articles poorly.

What makes you say that? It reads naturally to me and Pangram flags it as 100% human. I've never heard an AI use the "fly is open" analogy.

I feel like the point of those is conceptually "take these things off the LAN." If we allow for that, what even is a LAN?

>Two hosts on the same subnet can reach each other without leaving the LAN. Barring "very buggy software," when is this false?

Most of those are just changing flags, not really unique development. Like "disable JIT" is a Chromium flag. "Zero-init everything" is a Clang flag.

Oh, right, because other browsers never have bugs.

Chrome runs webpages in individual sandbox processes with very low privileges, as a defense-in-depth strategy. It generally requires at least two exploits to actually affect a user--first, get RCE in a sandboxed process, then find a separat

Sadly, even that isn't really a guarantee. I've seen some of the crazy nonsense that the permuter does to get a 100% match. `if ((!x) && (!x) && (!x)) {}` apparently gets different register allocation than `if (!x)

I have no idea what my token counts are, but I ended up upgrading Claude to the $100 plan, and I've still hit the 5-hour token exhaustion limit twice today. I consider this a good thing--if I'm paying for the tokens, I want to use

There are business-level issues with web based AAA games, as I was alluding to before. Apple has a two-click payment system. If you failed a Candy Crush level and you needed to get up from the couch and get your credit card out of your wall

You are trying to build an MMO and think story is irrelevant? My man! That's the core of the genre. You come for the story and stay for the rep grind.
