Read about model collapse. The TL;DR is garbage in, garbage out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_collapse

You're not mistaken. They had a default enabled whitelist of advertisers that were paying them to be there. Basically a racket.

YouTube bitrot is real in the sense that over the years, they've re-encoded everything multiple times, resulting in older content looking absolutely terrible. This includes dropping higher resolution options. They don't even seem

Giving away the secrets! ;) If the few services that are left become well-known, they'll cease to function just like the majority. Such is scraping Twitter now

I remember reading the origin article for that prompt example and laughing at how long it likely took to write that essay when typing "hikes near San Francisco" into your favoured search engine will do the same thing, minus the ha

It's not about a single question, it's about all of them that don't do anything to further the process. They're a waste of time for people who have options - in other words, the people you want to hire. If a company want

Had a look at the questions they ask applicants to answer in the hopes of even receiving a response and I'm not terribly surprised that people might not want to fill it out. Aside from the invasive questions... > Here's a fun q

I know this is a discussion about C but I'll add that C++ removed the newline requirement.

Yes, it potentially could be optimised out, which is why platforms provide functions like SecureZeroMemory() for cases where you want to be sure that memory is zeroed out.

I think others have said it well enough, but you're mixing the VPS business model up with cloud. It's in the interests of cloud providers to have you utilising resources because that's how you're billed. VPS and dedicat

That's a classic. It's incredible that it's taken Microsoft literal decades to fix that issue. The old recommendation was to hide desktop icons but even that doesn't fully solve it. Garbage collecting them into another d

Pocket isn't even enabled unless you choose to use it, so why would you need to disable it?

Adding delay to multiplayer games? That's worse.

Buttons? A zip? I've never seen a cover that doesn't have a way of keeping it closed.

Not the best look to be telling other people that they aren't positioned to make comments on the topic when you repeatedly get their name wrong.

I believe the point he's trying to make is that he still considers it be science, regardless of the label you've chosen to place on it.

Sounds like you weren't working with C++'s string API. std::string knows nothing about the encoding of the data it encapsulates and can be used to store anything. There are the codecvt functions but it doesn't sound like you&

Yes, a couple of counterweights take care of that. Tear a washing machine down and you'll discover that there's not that much inside.

To be fair, washing machines are extremely simple. The trucks, a little less so.

Absolutely. Batteries, bulbs, you name it. Items with good margin that are trivial to copy.

The vast majority of machines are not using a kilowatt and the vast majority of users are not running anything to deal with the heat. You're an outlier here.

> Yes, but better that, in a shared environment with center-wide cooling and such, then each individual household needing to do that on their own. I don't think this actually tracks, unless the heat is actually being put to use. You

This is definitely not true. Developers are better off in the private sector and I've never heard of any developer regard working for the government as coveted or prestigious.

He doesn't have the results, yet. He's running it in an infinite number of times. Without actually checking, the result is going to be that the output size increases slightly over time.

This is clearly talking about default behaviours, so it'd already be there as standard. It's no different than expecting a different status code for the purpose of requesting crawlers not to index.
