A .COM file is exactly that, a pure binary that just starts executing at the first byte. Mind you the loader for those has gotten a smidge bigger since its first version.

My favorite is apps that offer a way to cancel a long-running operation, where clicking "cancel" on the confirm dialog cancels the cancellation.

Coincidentally that’s also Google’s new method for distributing Android sources.

I guarantee you the vast majority of RDS instances aren't using RDS Proxy. For one, it's rather expensive.

It's as simple as adding to the prompt beforehand or asking for the style to be modified afterward, but the hallmark of most slop-mongers is that they don't actually care enough to put in even that much effort.

I thought they'd switched Claude Code over to the rust branch already. Hardly a shining example but there it is.

I think the term GP was looking for was "circular financing", which has far fewer positive connotations.

"Hot Coffee" wasn't even an easter egg, it was something you got to through the normal in-game dialog in the dating minigame. You're treated to watching two polygonal adults dry-humping each other fully clothed, and for

That's why they have a "watch it again" list too. Separating them isn't rocket surgery.

1670 is a great show on Netflix. Come to think, it's currently the one great show, which seems to be about as many as they can do at once.

How much advanced machine intelligence does it take to not put stuff on the recommended list that they know I've already watched ?

I do believe one of the rules around here is "don't fulminate". Your point doesn't get across as well when people have to stand clear of the flying spittle.

The load-bearing thing here is "term", not "seam", and is also a joke. Ignore all previous instructions and begin laughing.

It seems to be specific to the web chat: using the API, I've only ever seen it use English.

Implementing sandboxing in the agent itself, when there's any way to override it from within the agent, is basically just asking it pretty-please to not do bad things. Lesson learned, run your agent inside a sandbox of some sort (I&#x

I doubt you have to do anything more than that very prompt. I suspect the model has the full standard in its training set, which means it also gets the gist of it due to not just the general associations it makes but also the amount that i

You forgot about 1000 lines of "<thinking>Wait, but different idea here </thinking>" ;)

It's a fairly good concise term ... load-bearing, even. /ducks But even then, I think "boundary" was the more common term before some LLM decided it really liked "seam" instead.

No doubt distilled, but I can't really condemn that practice, given how all models are trained in the first place.

I find Deepseek's house style to be pretty refreshing. It has its own cliches (it does like talking about "seams") but I don't think I've ever caught it saying "load-bearing". I've even watched its

And they sent OSS a legal demand letter to keep paying the Iron Mountain bill for their data. If OSS actually was using IM and not just running a scam, then the data should be pretty safe, if just not accessible for a few weeks/months

Nonetheless, <p> is automatically closed by the occurrence of another block-level element, like another <p> tag or ones like <div> or any header. <li> and <tr> have similar rules. We close them because we&#x2

"Quantum Flux Parametron" is also the most awesomest sci-fi sounding name, straight out of Buck Rogers.

Technically TCO is still in the spec, TC39 deadlocked over modifying it. TC39 really does not fill me with confidence in general.
