My past dealings (mine and others) have lead me to think of PayPal as a criminal enterprise,
I've seen a lot of hate thrown at PayPal over the years.....and not quite sure why?
I've used it a LONG time for eBay payments, sending money to friends and the odd small merchant.
I wouldn't say I've used it a TON, but some.....and never had any problems.
What problems have ya'll had that you dislike them so badly? Genuinely curious....
I mean, I still can't stand the voice menus when you call support...I''m constantly hitting "0" or saying Operator over and over to get to a real person asap.
Don't get me wrong, I like my AI...ChatGPT can be fun and helpful...but, I don't wanna hold a fscking conversation with it, especially not in public.
Hell, that's one of the reasons I hate the voice support calls, when in public or sitting in Cube Land where everyone has nosy ears....
Most of the world doesn't have DST. It's really just Europe and the US. Somehow they manage.
I"m in the US...and I don't care which one they make permanent
I hate the hour changes....messes with me twice a year fairly badly at times....gets my pets off schedule too which is a PITA.
But WTF is "Protected Leave"?
That is a new term for me.....some forms of vacation time are "protected"?
CBS along with the other main 3 broadcast (ABC and especially NBC) are heavy left leaning....CNN is very left leaning, but not so much as MSNOW (used to be MSNBC).
So far, it appears the new lady in charge of CBS has indeed tried pulling them to at least center left rather than far left.
She herself is NOT a right leaning person....
We need some balance....everyone LEFT with Fox New being the sole Right leaning news in the US just doesn't work....I'd rather them all be center but at least balance out the left and right if that's the only option.
Good question. Their POWER series of CPUs were not insignificant in capability, their chip designers were clearly technically sophisticated, and GPUs are just specialised vector processors with a few extra bells and whistles - stuff IBM is extremely familiar with.
It would not have been difficult to release a GPU or other LLM-specific processor to go along with the POWER11. They'd been working on the POWER11 for 4 years, they knew in 2020 that LLMs had a strong potential to be significant for Big Data processing - an area you use big iron for, they're not rank amateurs, they have plenty of reserve, they could have assembled an emergency team to build a vector processor that was custom-designed for just LLM work, and released an LLM processor card that could run circles around nVidia.
They didn't. Because, as has happened before, their management is simply too stupid and too slow.
The non-Fox-News viewpoints of CNN seem to me to be worth preserving. And it's doubtful they would be if Paramount takes over Warner's portfolio, which includes CNN.
Look at what happened to CBS, in particular 60 Minutes, when the Ellisons' Skydance Media took over. One of the most venerable investigative-journalism shows in history has been run into the gutter.
Yeah..sad to see a lesbian liberal take two networks of "news" and try to make them more center based and less left leaning and try to report all news fairly....how dare they.
Well, we didn't have childcare provisions or maternity leave laws forty years ago when things were booming, so those aren't likely to have any causal bearing. It's also the same healthcare system; the difference is that there have been 30 years of legislative attempts to make it "more affordable". Interestingly, the only sector of the economy where costs have increased at a similar rate to healthcare is higher education, which has seen over forty years of "affordability" action. And please note the distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
Wish I had mod points....spot on everything.
What if...
Someone (say someone who was familiar with doxygen and GCC) developed number of comment types, where some stipulated preconditions that must be true for the function to run correctly, postconditions that must be true once the function has run, kernel facilities that the function definitely needs, and kernel facilities that the function definitely doesn't need. These would all be optional for any given function.
A static checker could then validate if the code meets the behaviour expected by the programmer. This is precisely what is done in SPARK, a fork of Ada for high-reliability code. Combined with existing static checker capabilities, this would greatly increase the number of bugs that could be caught with all kinds of tools, AI included.
It could ALSO build a full fine-grained mapping for any fine-grained mandatory access controls system. You'd also want includes that you could import for precompiled libraries. This would allow someone to verify if the code was making unanticipated/undesirable calls but would also make SELinux possible to develop for at the application level.
It would not be trivial. If it was trivial, it would have been done simply because it already IS done in other languages and that makes it "obvious" to anyone who has been programming for a while. However, it should not be massively complicated, simply because you can use AI as the static checker. Once it has a definite set of bounda that must be satisfied, it should be much more capable of knowing what paths would violate those bounds. Which means that the checker stage essentially is trivial today, leaving only the markup stage.
It's more than just a set RPM. It is also a set power level. An ICE engine is typically the most efficient at a set RPM and 70-80% of maximum power for that RPM.
Then size the engine for roughly highway speed on level terrain. Maybe give it the ability to go higher in RPM - less efficient, but able to handle going up a big hill/mountain if necessary. But ideally the battery would handle that, then charge up on the way down.
In this case, the primary 'advertising' is apparently for apartments using online websites.
One apartment complex cheating and offloading much of the "rent" into "fees" so they can list at a lower price online encourages all of them to do it, making the comparison shopping of the websites practically useless.
Is to set coursework and exams that are specifically crafted to exploit where AI is weak or prone to hallucinate.
You do not ban cheating, because those who cheat will inevitably find ways to circumvent the ban.
Rather, you exploit the properties of the mechanisms of cheating to ensure that those who actually understand the ideas are marked relatively highly (regardless of whether they reach the textbook conclusion) and whose who do not understand the ideas cannot do well even if they give what is in the textbook.
The interest should not be in precise answers, but in precise use of tools of reasoning and analysis, because this is what actually matters when it comes to understanding. Yes, it means you can't standardise so easily, and you have to devise things in ways that don't penalise intuitive thinkers over methodical thinkers, but you cannot teach a subject properly if you are only concerned about the surface.
Besides this, the NYC rule seems to cover rental agreements, which the FTC rule did not cover, to my knowledge.
You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing viability of FORTRAN. -- Alan Perlis
