Don’t know what state or country you are in, but that isn’t the way a salvage title works in any US state that I am aware of.

A car with a salvage title stays branded with “rebuilt” or “restored” in all common scenarios. There are ways to wash them to unbranded, but most are unethical and involve retitling in different states and such, rather than simply restoring the car.

Regardless, unless dealing directly with the DMV, most people call a branded title a salvage title, or at least say something like, “the title isn’t clean”.

There's terrifying scientific evidence that nuclear winter is perhaps increasingly impossible as climate change continues and nuclear fallout (and even volcanic ash fallout) move us closer and closer to turning Earth into Venus 2: Electric Boogaloo thanks to the (runaway) greenhouse effect.
Is this site seriously presenting DRM as a positive thing?
Actually it’s a fairly easy process to contact DDG. There’s the “Share Feedback” button on every search page. It may be a little less visible, but there’s also a contact email listed on the Press page.
When I do the search on bing, it doesn't just give no results, it also says "Some results have been removed" with a link to their content policy page.

Yup, but the Americans now act as if they always had gay marriage and call people from other countries bigots. Especially on sites like reddit.
Perhaps the ones proposing the law realize that, and are simply taking an action they can claim shows "Hey we tried, guys." That would be the sort of blatant cynicism I can imagine in the senate, and unfortunately I suspect it will work on the campaign trail too.
Hi, I started coding in my teens but didn’t start university till past 18. My advice is to definitely find remote work as a minor will require your consent to enter any contract especially for work. Remote will limit social interaction but at his age those interactions will be possibly overwhelming for him and other co workers who are adults. I had a friend and his son came from Croatia at 16. In Croatia he had his license and smoked and drank (lower age), had a girlfriend and found that life in the US was stifling. He left 3 months later back to his home country where he felt like a man and not like the boy that he was and forced to be in the US. If there is a focus (AI, DB, ML, Web, API, focus on that if the desire is to work immediately post graduation. With an age under 16 most folks at that age don’t get to work full time. Perhaps exceptions may be made but check with your local, state and federal laws (I’m thinking with parental consent.). Be sure to interview any potential manager within this company that needs the skills of your child. Be sure to set boundaries in the contract that you must sign as his guardian. This is a great world being in CS and my question is does he want to go theoretical or practical or computational. Graduating with a CS degree is anything but easy and once those theoretical classes drop you either love em or hate em. Same for the practical such as compiler or computational such as AI or ML. Starting working so young while his brain is still developing makes me want to implore you to seek out psychological help (even if he is super well adjusted). As even those of us who are the most mature and with high emotional intelligence, we have our tough days and times. Life experience let’s us fight the stresses and find a balance which will be up to you as the parent/guardian to help manage. Also handling failures will be very important life lessons, though going through a CS program is stressful enough.
But it is a bit silly if I can just download an app. No need to search for a store in airport one might be unfamiliar with.
I think they meant the former, because otherwise having expansion joints that don't expand doesn't really accomplish anything. The concrete still expands, hence the need for the joints.

From my reading of it, it does have what you're looking for. Specifically, while there are "no destructors", you are required to call a function to consume the value. Failing to consume the value is a compile time error. You can roughly approximate thinking about this as having destructors, but you're required to explicitly call them and the compiler won't let you write code that doesn't call the destructor.

The single most difficult thing in software development is the fact that the system doesn't exist, it is defined by mystical incantations, and we work on that invisible system by changing the instructions to build it.

Anything that makes the understanding or "building" that system mentally is no-go.

I haven't heard that one before, but it makes sense.

but of course it's never just one thing. and what "sexy" is to any given woman is highly variable.

to a significant extent, human males do become sexier as they increase in wealth, or simply in distinction. are these qualities that will make a son likelier to reproduce? probably yes.

but they also increase the whole family's general security and therefore the mother's chance of bringing a healthy child to term in the first place.

and the chance that the woman will survive to have multiple children.

and that the family will be accepted in a protective community, etc.

and who's to say there is no deep, obscure strategy guiding the mating process? Maybe I'm watching too many Michael Levin videos on YouTube, but perhaps there is an "intelligent" navigation of the genomic/body shape vector space that may have cross-species/ecosystem strategies we're incapable of understanding ...
Status quo just means the world as it sits now. It has no bearing on whether it is an ideal state to be. Humanity is indubitably better off now than it was prior to the Industrial Revolution, and there's 10x more of us now to enjoy it, thanks in large part to energy unlocked by fossil fuels. Do you dispute that point, or is your point rather that we should go back to the living standards and world population of the 1700s?

At the same time that we've been flooding the atmosphere with carbon with nations around the world industrializing (1970-2019), climate-related deaths around the world shrank to one-third, while the human population doubled[0]. Not one-third in rate, that's one-third in absolute number. Is that the "climate catastrophe" you're talking about? The IPCC released its first report in 1990, and deaths of climate has only decreased since then, mainly due to the improving ability of developing nations to better master their environment -- again, via cheap energy enabled by fossil fuels.

I'm not the one with mental gymnastics and blind spots if you cannot acknowledge the instrumental role that fossil fuels have played in getting humanity to this point, and the inability of current renewable energy technology to replace it wholesale.

I strongly agree with this.

It is extremely unfair to conclude "people spent more time looking at this, so they must have enjoyed it more!" When you've designed something to generate infinite interesting new stuff for people to look at

Yeah, the problem is your management then removed any option to talk to a human and left the chatbot do all support.

Exactly, and that's the problem. If people don't agree that it should be protected, then they don't really support free speech. Which is fine but then they shouldn't be surprised when the next person to be censored will be them.

Ad blindness has fucked me so many times on web UIs.

There have been a couple of particularly vivid incidents where the company put some sort of interaction on a page and positioned it and shaped it like an ad. So I bitched about how that button wasn't on that page and it was literally front and center (specifically, slightly right of center with text wrapped around it), but positioned like an ad so I didn't see it.

There is also two times in the 90's when Windows Calculator was confidently wrong. Once was because of Microsoft's code, and the other was because of a bug in Intel's math processor.

And then there are the cases of intentional errors that enable teachers to tell if a student used a calculator instead of working out problems on their own.

His point seems to be that assistants like Siri and Alexa will be the entrypoint for LLM type interactions, which is sort of non-sensical considering most people are using chatGPT right now. I think this could have been an interesting article about how interacting with chat bots still kind of sucks but instead we got some unsubstantiated view that assistants that a lot of people have already written off are going to take over the space.
I only read the abstract but it seems like the dislike comes with a recognition of the buzzwords and an understanding that a good product isn't the goal, my money is. With nature, it's not trying to impress me. It's not trying to take my money. So there's no loss of wonder when I learn something. I don't pull back the curtain to find a cynical exec trying to get me to pay for something. There is no curtain, there is no sales pitche, nature just is.
You used the word famine earlier in this tiresome little thread.

WalterBright: "The US was the first country to eliminate the specter of famine around 1800. Thanks to free markets."

It's delusional to argue that The Dust Bowl was a time of cheap and abundant food. As far as I can tell, that's your claim, but I'm not interested in discussing this further with you.

> Effective January 2023, Intel increased the estimated useful life of certain production machinery and equipment from five years to eight years. When compared to the estimated useful life in place as of the end of 2022, Intel expects total depreciation expense in 2023 to be reduced by $4.2 billion. Intel expects this change will result in an approximately $2.5 billion increase to gross margin, a $400 million decrease in R&D expenses and a $1.3 billion decrease in ending inventory values.
This is a very shallow glance at how "chatbots" have been used in the customer service space, especially in the past 10 years. If you look at what the term has been referring to in the last decade or so, it's not really the AI assistants like Alexa or Siri. The best ones are primarily a customer service tool that helps people triage problems on their own and reduce the need for a human in the loop. They're not do-it-all human assistant replacements. I agree, generally, with the premise that a better UI > an OK chatbot. And ultimately, there are a whole host of problems that chatbots with complex decision trees or even LLMs can't solve, so a chatbot alone isn't really the solution. The combination of chatbot + escalation path to human agent does work pretty well, though.
That makes a lot of sense and tracks with the way I wish voice assistants would work. Specifically there is structured data that I want to search (e.g. what move type does 4x damage to pokemon of type1, type2?) using the voice assistant. ChatGPT seems to get it right, so I wonder if/when Siri and Alexa will.

I guess someone will sooner or later develop the "ai.xml" standard for websites to give their chatbot endpoints to the AI assistants. Or maybe it can just be another opensearch kind of thing.
If you're completely airgapped from me, no, but that's not interesting, is it.

As soon as you allow any form of interaction, you're potentially leaking information through the timing side-channel.
Intel made money this quarter, but only because of a $2 billion dollar tax rebate. Without that they're still losing money.
Amazingly rebellious comments on this thread, pretty much all that I read there talk about restoring the original moderator and then mention an expletive in regards to the CEO of Reddit.

I assume that contrast is to point out how completely off the mark ads often are.
The idea is the compiler has a bunch of explicit flags, but the build system (which doesn't exist yet) will have the `foo build`, `foo run` etc. commands and find the files using a package manifest.

Essentially like `cargo` vs. `rustc`. I have a little prototype of the build system in Python but haven't pushed it up yet.
Why does it just have to be America? RU/CN landmasses also huge for catching things, and if we aren't trying to talk about it openly they may not be either for similar reasons.

Both reasons are true. Also, relatedly, "stealing perceived authenticity": if a user sets up "help.github.com" or "about.github.com" or "wwww.github.com" and then runs a scam from it, it looks like GitHub is running the scam.
> Now, let’s go back to that first hard drive, the IBM RAMAC from 1956. Here are some specs on that thing:

> Storage Capacity: 3.75 MB

> Cost: ~$9,200/terabyte

Those specs can't possibly be correct. If you multiply the cost by the storage, the cost of the drive works out to 3¢.

This site[1] states,

> It stored about 2,000 bits of data per square inch and had a purchase price of about $10,000 per megabyte

So perhaps the specs should read $9,200 / megabyte? (Which would put the drive's cost at $34,500, which seems more plausible.)

> I don't need to trade that for need to spend time to know what and more importantly why something is where it is.

I had two options: 1. Learn everything first and then start prototyping. 2. Start prototyping and learn along the way. I chose the latter. But instead of searching stackoverflow and putting the pieces together, I used GPT and learned from the generated outputs in the context of my own problem.

It may not save a lot of time in larger projects because as you said, one should ultimately learn the "what and why", but it definitely provides a more pleasing experience. And I guess the time-saving part becomes more relevant with better tooling, like the suggestion I had.
I use Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome and occasionally Brave on the same machine.

Each has a special purpose. I stay logged into Google on Google Chrome and that is for Google auth and personal gmail. I don't search for anything outside the norm there.

I develop using Chromium and use it for general purpose browsing, logged in to some sites.

And I use Firefox for casual browsing, youtube, and never log in to much.

Brave I mostly use on phone, occasionally Chrome.

Is this unusual? I keep seeing people talking about "switching browsers" but I haven't seen the need to discard one to take up another.
Ah, no, they wouldn't have been guests. The organisation was large enough that it had multiple “workspaces” corresponding to different divisions. Channels always belong to a workspace, but some are shared between workspaces. You can only see the channels belonging to or shared with your workspace.
Its funny to see this phenomenon repeat itself again and again in corporate America. Company X manages to become successful due to bunch of amorphous reasons. Some academic decides to reverse-engineer this messy process into a neatly packaged theory that has some kernal of obviousness at the heart of it. Then the academia-consultant-management complex takes it over and starts evangelizing it for $$ to companies and contexts that are only tangentially similar to the original company. Obviously the cut-paste theory fails to take hold in its new home. Rinse repeat till a new fad comes in. Lean, Agile, Design thinking...

Not remotely equivalent.
Calculators didn't hallucinate and lead students down a path of confusion and wrong answers.

For what it gets correct, it is the replacement for everything. Thought itself can be outsourced. Education's purpose isn't simply to have bodies in seats serving as proxies to a machine.

And if LLMs could fix the hallucination problem, then they are more in a position to replace education itself versus being a tool for the student.
I wouldn't rely on TCO being available, the bootstrapping compiler right now just emits very simple C (though GCC/LLVM might eliminate the recursion if they can).

Ideally I'd like stack overflow to be a clean abort rather than a stack overflow (just to make the error message more explicit) but I haven't got around to adding that.
fwiw Google did the same trick with their servers
Yes, of course I do, just like I believe that the Australia, like false equivalencies, don't exist.

Is “copying” social network features ok?
Just to clarify:

WiFi calling uses an 802.11 connection nearby, instead of a cell tower, and sends UDP packets over the WiFi network. (I don't know how far they transit the Internet; I assumed that they went to your mobile provider and entered the PSTN there.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network

In this scenario, your "home country SIM" is providing you a phone number and provider's authorization to activate and use WiFi calling, but your voice calls aren't actually using the SIM or a cell tower.

Neither is your "holiday SIM" using data for this call: you're free to use that data allowance for browsing, streaming, general Internet use; it won't be taken up by phone calls.
it's OK with Oracle

It is till it isn't. And some lawyer, even Oracles lawyer, who says in an offhand comment something is fine means nothing if it ever goes to court and "but I saw it in a video" won't be a defense.
My take away is a bit different: if a user lands on your site/app, they don't want to talk to a chatbot.

If they did, they would have asked ChatGPT or another chat assistant instead.

"When they do come directly to your site or app, they are not looking for a chatbot. They are looking for a UI that works. They know why they came to you. They expect your UI to do what it should do."
I would do it differently: I would ban remote attestation on all general-purpose electronic devices and for all devices that are meant to be part of the home and run third party software.

So computers, phones, and game consoles cannot have remote attestation but home security systems, ATMs, e-Readers, medical devices, water/electricity usage meters can do remote attestation.

Bloomberg (who built this) operate a system that makes money by transmitting the same data to a huge amount of clients. Having one server transmit the same piece of information to a million client is approximately 500 times slower than having one server transmit it to 1000 proxies who each pass it on to 1000 end users.
