Indeed, I needed DOS 4.0 to run my 1GB full-height 5.25" Maxtor hard drive for my ST/Amiga/UseNet BBS, Hallucination (named in a reverse-domain name kind of way, starting with the randomly assigned phone number and reverse engineering something that spells the number).

In DOS 3.3, the maximum partition size was 32MB.

"without expelling mass" is not the same as "not consuming mass". Electromagnetic effects can be massless in terms of expulsion, but due to conservation of energy (which the researchers mentioned), mass would need to be consumed, unless a super-capacitor could store all the needed energy.

...a small fraction of what Sam Altman says he needs

Stroustrup pointed out strengths of C++, which was designed in 1979

More accurately, the predecessor to C++ was designed in 1979. The full timeline:

1979 Development on C with Classes begun

1982 Development on C++ begun

1985 C++ released

1986 Zortech C++ for DOS released

1992 Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 released

"Awarded"? That makes it sound like SpaceX won a prize from its benevolent government. Nay, the license was granted.

The article is light on details, so it might really be punycode phishing rather than typosquatting

Yes, TFA says that, but I suspect that is a misstatement. This other source https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q4-2023-ev-sales/ says 2023Q4 sales were 317,168, which suggests to me that despite what TFA said, the drop of 100,151 to 89,933 must have been a drop in growth rate rather than of absolute sales.

It's not just that TNG had a big miss with the contractions thing. Even more startling is how easily the transformer overcomes what was once considered the most difficult challenge of Natural Language Processing: disambiguation. When I type stuff into ChatGPT4, I often leave out all the details because I know it will figure it out. For example, here is one from just a few minutes ago: https://chat.openai.com/share/836cb8e1-ab89-4a90-94dc-2c3f70d01f1a.

The transformer is the new protomatter

Reading the summary about "ground stations", I honestly wondered if StarLink maybe had a terrestrial RF system to serve as backup for end customers. No, the "ground stations" are really gateways between satellites and the backbone. The word "gateway" should have been used.

Aside from whatever sins Intuit might have committed, the larger issue here is that the gig economy has become the default entry level position. And that requires an extra form (Schedule C). The IRS should make it as easy to file 1099-NEC as it is to file W-2.

Assuming the average GPU costs $10,000, those 600,000 GPUs amount to $6 billion.

First time I've heard of a Federal Circuit Court referred to as a "lower court"
