At Amazon, when someone was laid off their Slack still worked for the 60 day WARN period. It was actually a problem because you would Slack them and get mad that they didn't reply. The only way to know for sure was to ask their manager, but you didn't want to do that because if they weren't laid off you didn't want to throw them under the bus!
My experience with Call Screen is actually very positive. It screens tons of spam calls and legitimate people who are actually calling for me do talk to my robot assistant, I get a quick transcription, and I pick up. It's why I can't quit Google's Pixels.

It sounds like it would have to be an opt-in feature which could be applied per query, as otherwise wouldn't it be equally as annoying if the planner didn't adapt to the table data changing?

What may be better is if the executor provided feedback to the planner to tell it the new plan was worse than the old one. With that, you might be able to recover much more quickly and less likely to get a midnight phonecall. The tricky part would be when should the planner then retry the new plan again. Also, other factors that influence the plan's execution time such as locking would be a cause of noise for any sub-system that was monitoring this.

Gemini advanced:

This is a bit of a trick question! Sally has one sister. Here's why:

Sally and her brothers share the same sisters.
Since Sally is a girl, she is one of the two sisters that each of her brothers has.
Therefore, there is only one other sister besides Sally.

----
Gemini original:

There are two ways to think about this question:

Including Sally: If we consider Sally herself as one of her own sisters, then she would have 1 sister (herself) + 0 sisters (additional sisters besides herself) = 1 sister.
Excluding Sally: If we only consider sisters other than Sally herself, then each of her brothers has 2 sisters, but they all share the same two sisters. So, there are 0 sisters (additional sisters besides herself) = 0 sisters.

Therefore, the answer depends on whether you include Sally as one of her own sisters. If you do, then Sally has 1 sister. If you don't, then Sally has 0 sisters.
----

ChatGPT 4 (YMMV, I think I may have a custom prompt set):

Sally has 2 sisters. Each brother having 2 sisters just confirms Sally plus one more sister.
---

Wasn't expecting Gemini Advanced to clinch this one.

That you can take SAT tests multiple times as pointed out in sibling comment, that could change the dynamic but doesn't seem like a fundamental change, I think there is still the path for "the test" to become such.

The 1973 Act is the part in which we the citizens of W.Australia grant the right for our elected and employed politicians to form regulations wrt firearms.

That can be repealed, if so there is no right for our government to make firearm regulations.

The 1974 Regulations are the evolving regulations, the fine detail about what the licence requirements are, the purchase and sale requirements are, the various classes, storage requirements, and conditions for disqualification.

These can be changed.

Their point was nonsense.

We have a "Washminster" system of government, it's a bit like the UK Westminster system and a bit like the US Washington system .. only it was formed after looking at the shortcomings of both.

> Australia [..] done mass firearm bans or confiscations in recent years

Awww, you read the US NRA dot points on Australia then?

Twenty eight years ago Australia took out the (then) mass shooting world record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australi...

The response here was to unify gun regulations across all states and territories. At the time the bulk of the Australian population had gun regulations .. Queensland (then low population), Tasmania, and Territories (low population) did not.

Once regulation was uniform and gun licencing was taken seriously there were a lot of guns that people didn't want to licence ("we have the three we mainly use and another three out the back that grandad used in the war") - so there was a federally funded buy back scheme "cash for guns" to encourage handing in unlicenced weapons for cash, this resulted in pictures of skip bins full of "confiscated guns".

There are still semi automatics being bought, sold, and used in Australia - these are licenced for feral pig control use.

You cannot get a semi automatic to barrel polish and strut the street in the city with, you can get one if you're going to kill a lot of pigs.

You can get a licence to drive a three trailer prime mover (road train), you are still not permitted to drive these fully loaded on a large number of urban roads.

I think of `call/cc` as a parlor trick that helps introduce the concept of continuations more generally.

Threads and co-routines are on the heavy-weight end of the concurrent programming techniques spectrum because they require stacks -possibly large, with guard pages and all- and encourage smearing application state onto that stack, increasing cache pressure.

Continuation passing style (CPS) is on the light-weight end because it encourages the programmer to make application state explicit and compact rather than smearing it on a stack. Callback hell is hand-coded continuation passing style (CPS). Async/await is a compromise that gets one close to the light weight of continuations.

To understand all of that one has to understand the concept of continuations. In computer science, the cheap parlor trick that is `call/cc` is helpful in introducing the concept of continuations to students. After all, `call/cc` is shocking when one first sees it, and the curious will want to understand it.

There's a very common problem with systems that use SSO, where the 3rd parties that accept SSO logins cache the login information, sometimes indefinitely. A user can leave the company but their login placeholder account stays in the 3rd party, and active login sessions are maintained basically indefinitely. So you can leave the company and lose your AD account, but still access the 3rd party. As Rachel says it's kind of a hard problem to solve (but not that hard).

Yes, in the past. It's perfectly relevant. The definition redirects to wisdom and sagacity. I'm going to quote from the wiki entry[] on wisdom to demonstrate why the definition is precisely apt.

> Wisdom, sapience, or sagacity is the ability to contemplate and act productively using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.

These are generally the traits we find correlated to animals that we consider to be sapient, self-aware and capable of metacognition, e.g. elephants, chimps, crows, parrots, etc.

> React is the automatic target for a lot of newbies. They jump straight into webdev, learn some HTML/CSS and eventually work their way towards React for employability.

This has been the trend largely for last 3 to 4 years with the candidates (<5 yoe) I have interviewed. I probe them on core fundamentals of Javascript, HTML and CSS. When I get to the nuances, most of them outright call it out saying that they are React developers and do not do Javascript without realizing the fact that React is based on Javascript. And other common misconception is that they assume JSX works the same way while writing the vanilla Javascript code.

In theory, a representative democracy keeps checks and balances by the people still routinely communicating with each other as if it were a direct democracy and if the representatives are not acting in accordance with the direct findings, then it's off with their heads.

The explanation is that CDs came along before DRM was a thing. The industry could not break compatibility with over a 15 years' worth of CD players, especially since people had them in their cars, etc. The home playing software always had the ability to rip CDs; you could do that long before iTunes was a thing. It was only a matter of time before record labels gave up on DRM.

Now, since CSS was cracked, DVDs are, in practice, no harder to rip. But a company like Apple can't ship a DVD ripper in iTunes.
You don't need a flipper zero for that. A simple esp32 (also the base of a FZ) can do it and even an android phone can.

In this case there is an observable relationship between wind speed and central surface pressure which has been observed over decades, but it has changed between the 1950s and the current day (although it has been stable across recent decades). The difference is in the measurement of wind speeds and with modern dropsondes we have much better measurement of wind speeds than existed in the 1950s. There is a clear and consistent bias in the windspeed-pressure relationship between decades. The correction that has been applied has been to apply a bias to correct the wind speed to the central pressure measurement. That correction was proposed in 2005 and so is nearly 20 years old at this point and had nothing to do with the current paper on cat 6 storms.

My assumption being what makes the 2nd/3rd generation good is because they incorporate all the user feedback when making those versions.
