Well if you ask it to show you the seahorse emoji it tries really hard. :) https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMw_d7bf061f-2999-46b6-a7fb-58... Although it does eventually come to the right conclusion... sort of.

It would be really nice if something said what the actual problem was. The last commit[0] is a fix for date parsing to bring it in line with the GNU semantics, which seems like a pretty good candidate. Edit: Or not, see evil-olive's co

The 650 main memory was a drum; but what IBM called Random Access Memory (and RAM) for this machine was a hard drive. As described in the Manual of Operation linked above. Here are a few quotes: "Records in the IBM Random Access Memory

Just a clarifying note, Craig Reynolds is the original researcher for Boids, and he did have a Java applet implementation in the above page. But the original Boids simulation was from 1986, almost a decade prior to Java applets. The origina

I'm pretty positive that is showing the reverse, i.e. how much a given "location" is moving using gps coordinates. Not adjusting the gps coordinates to refer to a constant "location".

For those further interested in PEG vs LL(1) parsers. The first few sections of the Python PEP[1] where they switched from an LL(1) to PEG parser for CPython has a nice short introduction to both and their rationale for switching from LL(1)

The current 4h12m hour record is for 100% (where you have to get every single achievement in the game, in the one run), any% (where you just need to launch a rocket) is under 2 hours (1h42 for the latest factorio v2.x, 1h18 for v1.x). There

If the PRNG is good enough then shipping floppies full of PRNG output is very much unnecessary. Simply send the seeds used to initialize the PRNG thereby fitting many (~180k of them on a 720kb floppy) seeds on one floppy and save your couri

Let's make up some numbers, say 98% commit a single murder and 2% commit 20 leaving an average of 1.38. If the new system stops every murderer after the first one, the number of murders have a 27.5% reduction. Actual reduction quoted i

Guido stepping down from BDFL may indeed be what allowed the recent speed improvements to progress; but certainly not in the way you're implying. If there is a causal effect here it seems more likely that it's because it has allow
