But can they compete with my shade grown software? It does result in a 40% markup, but there's no putting a price on being raised in a loving environment, is there.

GP is not presenting these as evidence for an approach, just notable facts that weren't initially obvious.

Valve is certainly increasing the viability of Linux as a platform for gaming, but I can't see developers targeting Wine or Linux for a major game over Windows directly. Not for a decade, if ever.

The billions of times aren't repeated times for the same person, it's because it's been done for the first time billions of times. This is the "choose a user's initial profile picture". They're not randoml

But multiplied by the number of times it'll run on the planet, and you have a surprisingly big impact.

Images that are meant to be 2d (E.g. a photo of something on paper) isn't going to look 3d. I guess this approach will just have to let anything flat through?

There's a fair bit out there about their launch circumstances. From memory they weren't entirely in control of the timing.

Actually thinking back, I get _more_ content, because there's a notable number of access screens that just don't function with JS off, leaving the whole article available.

Pieces that people aren't revolted by will be fine. Readers aren't revolting because of a flood of high quality writing though.

Are you impugning the good name of the Ig Noble awards? For shame!

Somehow I don't think you've tried, if you think all I get is blank content.

Or disable JS altogether, and enjoy many sites working much quicker. Many others fail & need to be selectively allowed, but it's been worth it.

A linker could do this, but "clever" isn't the adjective I'd use when something randomly breaks due to it not working to standard.

Locally. Under many circumstances. But always? That's not a universal law, as it's a part of a larger system that may perform more poorly if this leg provides more traffic.

To address this similarly to my sibling reply, I don't have a definition of intelligence that provides value here. And your loose definition isn't doing a lot of help either, beyond perhaps noting: that Google search bar _is_ simi

Would you ask either of them to review a PR? Or a calculator to eat a banana? Or an LLM to calculate prime factors? These aren't interesting questions. As much as any definition is in use here, we're not going to get much value ta

Happily, I don't need to define "intelligence" here, because it's squarely in "I know it when I see it" territory. It's notoriously hard to define. I also don't ascribe intelligence to a pocket calcul

String concatenation will generate "original text" by that definition. Obligatory "yes, I know that's not what an LLM is", purely pointing out the metric.

Running what you've built when you've added a malicious dependency also causes arbitrary code execution.

That's a pretty great article. Re. the stack probes, it's not hard to supply your own; Raymond Chen recently did a blog series on stack probes, the entries for amd64 and arm64 are here: amd64: https://devblogs.microsoft

Those incompatible runtimes are separated by a linker that doesn't resolve all symbols globally, but rather scoped to the shared object they're expected from. They all coexist happily, and if you're so inclined you could reso
