Come back when you understand how it works.

>Why is it the business of my OS vendor how old I am?

*nix supports fields for full name, location, phone numbers, email address, password, etc. Do you think your OS vendor knows what they are?

>Instead, you could use flags: unverified, verified-minor, verified-adult.

And what if someone comes of age tomorrow or a year from now, you insensitive clod?

Lewinsky never got free trips on government jets and a protective detail assigned to her. Those benefits are reserved for Kash Patel's medicore-country-singer sugar baby girlfriend.

Quite possibly the most incompetent FBI director in history. He's been in office for a year...couldn't someone at the FBI have secured his digital footprint in that time? Oh wait, he fired many career agents with this type of expertise and Trump also neutered CISA. Perhaps he was too busy on "business" trips involving smashing down beers at the Olympics. Or sugar-daddying his girlfriend, who is young enough to be his daughter, and desperately trying to make her a country music star. Meanwhile, where is Nancy Guthrie? What about those people named in the Epstein files?

People are going to have to find another spot for the Peloton's they bought during COVID to make room for one of these.

>Can a 12-yr old walk into a store in the US and buy a porn mag?

Probably not. Not because it isn't allowed, but because the Internet put all the porn mags out of business. But yeah, kids used to be able to buy a Playboy, it depended only on the individual store's policy, not what the government said.

>Bosworth repeated the explanation he's been giving

That the metaverse plan and the reason for renaming the whole company was a failure? Oh, look! AI! Shiny!

Plants growing in lunar solar would have been a bigger deal, with a lunar night being about 14 earth days.

It doesn't matter what should be, only what is.

Yes. So far, the LLM tools seem to be much more useful for general research purposes, analysing existing code, or producing example/prototype code to illustrate a specific point. I haven't found them very useful for much of my serious work writing production code yet. At best, they are hit and miss with the easy stuff, and by the time you've reviewed everything with sufficient care to have confidence in it, the potential productivity benefits have been reduced considerably. Meanwhile even the current state of the art models are worse than useless for the more research-level stuff we do. We try them out fairly regularly but they make many bad assumptions and then completely fail to generate acceptable quality code when told no, those are not acceptable and they really do need to produce a complete and robust solution of the original problem that is suitable for professional use.

But one of the common distinctions between senior and junior developers -- almost a litmus test by now -- is their attitude to new, shiny tools. The juniors are all over them. The seniors tend to value demonstrable results and as such they tend to prefer tried and tested workhorses to new shiny things with unproven potential.

That means if and when the AI code generators actually start producing professional standard code reliably, I expect most senior developers will be on board. But except for relatively simple and common scenarios ("Build the scaffolding for a user interface and database for this trivial CRUD application that's been done 74,000 times before!") we don't seem to be anywhere near that level of competence yet. It's not irrational for seniors to be risk averse when someone claims to have a silver bullet but both the senior's own experience and increasing amounts of more formal study are suggesting that Brooks remains undefeated.

>"The Slack exchange from one junior staffer to a friend absolutely doesn't reflect our values or how we operate."

... even if it is true.

And the value of a sports over/under bet is a well defined function of the odds and final score. Any change in the value of that bet happens after you've contracted for it. Just like options, one could certainly "sell" the bet as the odds change the value. When the game ends or the option expires, you've either won or lost. And you seem to not know what "contingent" means.

I see your confusion. You don't know what options are.
