New Glenn has a payload size that is comparable to that of starship.

Falcon Heavy can launch much heavier stuff than 9, but it uses the same fairing. If you want to launch things that can't fit into Falcon 9s fairing, then your only options are SLS, New Glenn and in a few years Starship.

Especially Space Station Parts and Spy satellites can be quite huge. So there is an established and growing market for larger payloads

In C, not all objects need to be their own allocated entity (like they are in other languages). They can be stored in-line within another object, which means the lifetime of that object is necessarily constrained by that of its parent.

You could make every object its own allocated entity, but then you're losing most of the benefits of using C, which is the ability to control memory layout of objects.

> counting the whole area downplays the severity of bombing significantly

That's fair, I think.

Dresden was horrific, and ought to be formally acknowledged as a war crime. Still, I don't think you can say it was worse than what is happening to Gaza, from any perspective except maybe in horror per day. They are similarly sized, but Gaza is more densely populated. If you had the terrible choice between nearly 4000 tons over 3 days, or 85,000+ tons over 14 months, I think I know what you would choose.

I would also point out that global awareness of what was happening in Dresden was many orders of magnitude lower than awareness of Gaza's bombing, and the military 'justification' far worse.

Leuna works was a key strategic target with a 13 square km area; I wouldn't see it as an appropriate comparison.

Valuable insight!
> If you slice a 3d space through a hypersphere in 4d space, do you get a normal sphere? Probably.

Yep — and this will generally be the case, as the equation looks like: x1^2 + x2^2 + … + xn^2 = r^2. If you fix one dimension, you have a hyperplane perpendicular to that axis — and a sphere of one dimension lower in that hyperplane.

For four dimensions, you can sort of visualize that as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t^2 = r^2, where xyz are your normal 3D and t is time. From t=-r to t=r, you have it start as a point then spheres of growing size until you hit t=0, then the spheres shrink back to a point.

I am building collaborative AI developer that understands your codebase
Hey everyone! I am 17 years old founder from Kazakhstan who loves programming and stuff related to AI. I’ve been programming since my early teenage years and a lot of times I had troubles navigating across large codebases and constantly finding bugs in my code after pushing the project. That’s why I want to solve this problem for every developer and startup on the plane. I am making Nia, a collaborative AI teammate that truly understands your codebase, makes PRs, and helps engineering teams / solo hackers stay in flow.

You’re conflating two theories: one widespread, and one fringe. The theory that the Ashkenazi population experienced a bottleneck is widely accepted; claiming that Ashkenazim are actually a remnant of the Khazar Khanganate[1] is both fringe and typically associated with antisemitic conspiracies.

(Note that I say antisemitic, and not in a manner that involves conflation with Zionism: going against the overwhelming majority of generic evidence to make a claim about a Jewish ethnic group that doesn’t even majority reside in Israel reeks of a blood-and-boden anger against Jews because of who they are.)

Not what the International Law Israel is signatory to, says. Besides, you'd do well to recall that NATO imposed a no-fly zone over Libya so that Gaddafi wouldn't bomb the living daylights out of the rebels who didn't have an Airforce to counteract. And we all know, NATO did no such thing for Palestinians.

You’re assuming they are accurately describing results of the field. They are not and in fact the field didn’t come up with such quotable round numbers.

I can point to plenty of research that says otherwise, but when you quote someone saying 1 + 2 = 4, they don’t merit a more comprehensive rebuttal but to simply point and laugh.

The guy being quoted presumably came up with numbers from thin air which is why they both don’t make sense and don’t line up with actual research.

Maybe the prompt you used was more Claude-friendly than Gemini-friendly?

I'm only half-joking. Different models process their prompts differently, sometimes markedly so; vendors document this, but hardly anyone pays any attention to it - everyone seems to be writing prompts for an idealized model (or for whichever one they use the most), and then rate different LLMs on how well they respond.

Example: Anthropic documents both the huge impact of giving the LLM a role in its system prompt, and of structuring your prompt with XML tags. The latter is, AFAIK, Anthropic-specific. Using it improves response quality (I've tested this myself), and yet as far I've seen, no BYOK tool offering multiple vendor support respects or leverages that.

Maybe Gemini has some magic prompt features, too? I don't know, I'm in the EU, and Google hates us.
>You must be this talented for fair use to apply to you.
Actually, no. You've just committed one of the cardinal sins of the *alloc()'s, which is: NULL is an acceptable return, so errno != 0 is the only way to tell if things have gone awry.

The proper use of realloc is to check errno always ... because in fact it can return NULL in a case which is not considered an error: lines is not NULL but requested size is zero. This is not considered an error case.

So, in your fix, please replace all checking of tmp == NULL, instead with checking errno != 0. Only then will you have actually fixed the OP's unsafe, incorrect code.

I think the game is great and fun (and ... humans can get pretty enthusiastic about fun games ... to the point of putting off other things so they can play said game ... oh noes!), and Play/App stores are their own special hell, so best wishes for the devs, yet ...

The Vatican isn’t an ethnostate. There are many Palestinian Israeli citizens, clearly it’s not the race but the culture that Israel has a problem with.

Israel has many bad actors, few will deny that. But Hamas is much much worse and at the end of the day they can’t co-exist so you have to choose sides. Looking at the history of the last 100 years in the region it is clear to me that israel can not let the Palestinians into their country if they want any amount of security.

> But still, I'm wondering: what about curtains, window blinds etc.? It's not as if people are forced to endure the intrusion of street lighting into their bedrooms?

Of course. But that's the problem -- now black-out curtains are required. And maybe you hate those because you really enjoy waking up with the sun streaming in, and now you have to wake up every morning in blackness until you go open the curtains.

I thought bots would be too hard to make for my game, but they really weren't as they don't even have to be good. With LLMs i'm fairly sure almost any type of game can be botted at this point too.

There's plenty of blogposts that talk about this, but the one I'll give a link to is the one from Spamhaus[0], the guys who run the most popular DNSBL.

Spamhaus also mentions the main problem with their abuse form, which is that it forwards abuse emails to the hosting provider and the web administrator. They pretty much never do anything by themselves and neither the web administrator or the hosting provider have much incentive to disconnect spamming customers (since the admin is hosting it and the hoster usually stays outside of the risk anyway.)

> a whole bunch can be lost when transferred to optical print

I’m not sure if by "optical print"[0] you mean a film developing process (like C41), but the info is not lost and stays on the film. The developer job is to fine tune the parameters to print the infos you’re seeking, and that include adjusting white and black points thresholds (range). You can also do several print if you want to extract more infos, and print it so large you see the grain shapes! If there’s is something lost it’s when the picture is taken, after that it’s up to you to exploit it the way you need.

It’s very similar to a numeric device capturing RAWs and the developer finishing the picture on a software like Camera Raw, or what some modern phone does automatically for you.
