Schengen doesn't have anything to do with currency. You might have been mistaken it with the European Economic Area?

You forgot Turkey as well. Yes, the EU is open in general for specific treaties. If possible they want to do broad treaties (see the EEA). But Switzerland is almost as big a partner as the UK. If it is big enough, they'll do custom dea

That's a brilliant move by von der Leyen and Mark Carney (I guess he's in on it as well). There is currently no such status as "associate member" defined in the EU treates although the idea of special status for not bein

I expected people here to recommend several dual-pane file manager (aka orthodox file manager) as a replacement for Finder. But I see not a single comment recommending one? No good UI ones on macOS?

I am somewhat surprised not seeing any mentioning of hanging punctuation when doing the full alignment to the right side. As everybody can see in the article, punctutation marks on the right side results in uneven text. P

Emacs does that. If you run an emacs server you can connect to it with an emacs in TTY and one in GUI mode.

Ah, one of those "everybody knows" argument that is on the level of "everybody knows that Napoleon was short". It's not completely wrong but it ignores important context. The part you are leaving unsaid is that the

I’m disagreeing that I am just parroting things. Parroting is mindlessly repeating something. I don’t claim that all my thoughts are original but some are at least independent and self derived. We have 2500 years of epistemology. Individu

Disproving flat Earth doesn't logically prove round Earth, sure. But that's not how empirical reasoning works. If one model explains a bunch of observations naturally while another needs increasingly elaborate patches, that's

With good source code they output good code that mimics existing code. If they don't have good code to mimic, anything goes. They might use libraries or they might start to write their own implementation of a PNG encoder.

Then it's pretty bad that LLMs don't understand anything. They don't know and can't know. Without an external source of input that corrects them, their output can never be verified.

Your drive to verify must be very low then. There are hundreds of small logic reasonings or even experiments with which you can easily prove that a flat earth model is at least very complicated or even impossible. Explaining Moon phases get

The default AI text output reads like a LinkedIn post. Marketing material probably outweighs concise literature by several orders of magnitude. Maybe it’s as simple as that.

A partial eclipse is still cool. I witnessed a 70% partial eclipse once and it was still impressing. The colors changed, the sun was visibly dimmer. A total eclipse is just on a whole different level. BTW, you can't photograph a partia

The EU law already allowed technically necessary cookies without any banner. Every time you get a cookie banner with options, the website wants to know more about you than the law permits by default.

You don't need top engineers to port a program from one language to the other. Outsource it to India. Of course, then you can also ask, could it have been done with a cheaper model. Probably yes. But then you wouldn't get free mar

I remember reading about this feature for Oracle in the 2000s and was always interested to use it in a production environment. It never came to pass when we used Oracle, maybe now with Postgres I will finally have a chance at it.

They don't. After running, for the values in small_numbers from 0 to smlen-1 they are equivalent. But if the last value of numbers[] is not smaller than 500, small_numbers[smlen] will contain that value for the first version whereas th
