If you are an AI set on conquering Earth, it makes perfect sense to sacrifice two young lives to save an old one. Think about how many future human-lived-years this destroyed when you add things up.

If malls waste it like that it means that the electricity is too cheap and still plenty. I bet that a lot of it it's subsidized in good old French tradition.

All popular articles about quantum physics are in a way bullshit, false and misrepresentation. Because the only way to accurately talk about quantum physics is to show the math and only talk about that. The famous "shut up and calculat

The problem is not the electoral register existing, but that it's used for other purposes too. Basically any intern which works for a party election team has access to the complete list of UK voters.

But if you are playing Basilisk Chess it means you are aware of the Basilisk. So both players need to stop playing immediately after the first move and start working towards making strong AI happen, or they will be VR tortured forever.

In UK it's much worse. To be eligible to vote, you need to register on the Electoral Register. But when you do that, all UK political parties get access to your information (name and address, maybe nationality). And there is no way to

To be fair, not even the US govt recognizes the Taiwan flag. One could say that Apple it's following US guidance on this. > the White House deleted a social media post on COVID-19 vaccine donations that included Taiwan's flag.

I don't know about Windows core system libraries, but for user libraries you can do the same thing - rename old library, and put new library in it's place. Running processes will continue using the old library, and new ones will p

I understand the UNIX file model. My mistake was that I thought that the data producer was writing to a different file (think something like log-rotation). I think it's debatable if it's reasonable to continue allowing writing to

I was expecting that the process writing to the now deleted file would throw some kind of error/exception that the file doesn't exist anymore. I would have noticed that. But instead it silently continued writing into the void.

I don't understand what race on Windows, when you open a file for writing it's (typically) protected against deletion until you close it. In the example I gave, the other process was continuously writing to this file while I was z

It already has something similar, you can request for the deletion of a locked file on reboot.

Less known fact is that it's called C++23 because there are 23 ways to initialize a variable. Of course, it's a joke. In reality C++23 has only 20 ways to initialize a variable: https://www.cppstories.com/2022&#x2F
