Debiak coded for 10 hours on minimal sleep
Is that guy a cat who needs to nap every 2 hours?
FWIW, I once participated in a coding contest at my university in the early 90's that lasted 72 hours (the first prize was a full scholarship, which I didn't get
10 hours non-stop coding sounds like a normal day at the office trying to wrap up a project.
Cookie? You give them your ID and payment info. Do they really need anything else?
Of course, you usually don't give them that info until after the price has been agreed upon.
I've been using LO pretty much constantly for the last two years (even wrote a novel on it). Like any interface, it just takes time to become familiar. In fact, I like the way Writer organizes styles and style configuration far better than Word, and often, even for DOCX files, do initial style set up and layout in Writer and then move to Word if I have to (which is seldom enough).
LO is a damned good office system. Its default UI is older, but since I used MS-Edit and Word pretty extensively back in the 1990s, it feels familiar to me. There is a ribbon interface, but I've only tried it a few times before remembering why it is I actually don't like the Word ribbon.
This marketing technique is seriously long in the tooth...
If you ever make a chatbot call me, you're SOOO out of my addressbook forever. Telemarketers are annoying enough to get deal with without having to deal with Google AI robocalls on top of it.
And he certainly can't be held responsible for Brexit, which is why Britain is in the state it's in now. It's fascinating to watch how the Tories, and their fellow travellers across the pond, hold a government that is only been in power for a year responsible for their own actions.
It means the next time they show up, they'll need a court order to do so.
and make it worse, until it's enshittified to uselessness.
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Or as we call it, Newton's inverse square law, where the force of gravity on any two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Space is really really really really really big (the observable universe has a diameter of about 93 billion light-years), so it is literally impossible for any combination of mergers to have any effect beyond an infinitesimal region of the universe. Even a galactic merger which caused two supermassive blackholes to merge would have little or no measurable effect on a neighbouring galaxy as far away as Andromeda is from us (about 2.54 million light years away).
In fact, it's not until LIGO that we have even been able to detect the mergers of super dense and super massive objects like neutron stars and black holes, just to give you an idea of how the inverse square law limits the influences of gravity over very large distances.
Can it manage reduce gridlock and improve traffic flow by improving signal coordination during rush hour?
I think that is totally doable, but I'm not holding my breath for it to actually happen. If it worked, traffic would flow a few percent more smoothly, and only the traffic engineers would notice the difference. If it went wrong, anyone involved with the project would be mercilessly mocked, and their careers curtailed. Given that (combined with AIs' well-known penchant for occasionally going wrong), there's not a whole lot of motivation to implement such a system. Traffic engineers would prefer a system that works just okay 100% of the time, over a system that works optimally 99.9% of the time and does something crazy 0.1% of the time.
This guy jumps from one buzzword tech du jour to the next with nothing to show for the previous massive investment. If I was a shareholder, I'd sell-sell-sell.
Vatniks pretended that "Russia already won" for the entirety of this war. It's getting old.
Well, if Russia "already won", then there shouldn't be anything preventing Putin from declaring victory and going home. I await his proclamation and the parades of returning troops in Moscow.
Just wait until these little bastards have on-board AI that visually identifies targets and kills them autonomously. [...] This is not good.
Agreed, that is a scenario straight out of a Terminator movie.
That said, it won't happen (much) until they get the energy budget of all that AI down to something that can be powered by a drone battery for a sufficient period of time.
I eagerly await the follow up articles on the whereabouts of DB Cooper and the identity of Jack the Ripper.
China always aspired to be the world's undisputed leader in science and technology, and Trump is giving them what they want.
To see a need and wait to be asked, is to already refuse.
