Yes, but that’s an on/off switch. Trains and buses allow for a gradual shutdown by scaling down on number of rides per hour or on train/bus size. That’s a big advantage because, if people can’t get home from a party at 3AM, they m

So, this is a very long, slow-moving, open train. Advantages I see: - you can hop on and off wherever you want. That makes them useful for short trips - no waiting time; you can hop on whenever you want. That likely makes up for lack of spe

There are only 256 different values for the stack pointer. That’s low enough to fit in a 8-bit register. See it as a digital display with two hex digits and the value “0x01” painted in front of it: 0x0142 ^^ two hex digits: th

You can’t use two instances. They both would have individual selfs. I think an experiment would be to feed back whatever a LLM says to that same LLM, and see whether they’ll, at some time, say “why are you doing that to me?”

Wirth ran an OS research lab. For that, the compiler likely is a fairly typical workload. But yes, it wouldn’t work well in a general context. For example, auto-vectorization likely doesn’t speed up a compiler much at all, while adding the

That’s not a simple fix in this context. Try making it without slowing down the compiler. You could try to game the system by combining such a change that slows down compilation with one that compensates for it, though, but I think code rev

In such situations, people won’t think about that. What I’ve read, the reason people taking their carry-on at least partly is because, when having to get out of a plane in a stressful situation, they won’t think “what shall I do now.”, but

I’m not sure that’s efficient. The number of digits in that tenth power grows very rapidly (59049^¹⁰ already has 47 digits; (59049¹⁰)¹⁰ around 477) and there’s the risk that rounding introduces errors (did you really do that with “a 4 funct
