You can tell LLMs to do things or not do things, though, to an extent. Consider how many instructions were in Bing AI’s prompt. [1] It didn’t follow those instructions perfectly - after all, one of the instructions was to not reveal the

With a 2.5 second ping time from the Earth to Moon, data centers seem to me like a limited proposition. Sure, there are some use cases that could tolerate it, but many that can’t, and even where tolerating it is technically possible, it’s

In any case, you definitely can't do it on Windows and Emscripten (WebAssembly), where longjmp invokes the same stack unwinding behavior as C++ exception handling, rather than just setting some registers and jumping. Windows has its o

At minimum they could check for sellers setting their name to “Coinbase”, or other well-known names. In theory it should also be possible to detect scam invoice messages with similar techniques to spam filters.

They might be referring to the extra spacing around the punctuation in “$479. 00” and “transaction, please”. “Dear Customer, You” is also incorrect. The standard correction would be to add a newline after the comma (which presumably the sc

There are several ways to do overflow checks safely (i.e. without undefined behavior), though the ergonomics are not always ideal. C23 somewhat improves the situation with <stdckdint.h>, a standardized version of GCC’s __builtin_add_o

Not to be confused with obscure Linux ports that only have GCC available. This doesn’t address the problem of making (existing, cross-platform) Rust code work on those systems, since (I assume) it doesn’t provide FFI with native code. H

No need. For the Rust compiler, like most modern compilers, the list of systems it can produce binaries for is independent of which system it is running on. Either the compiler supports the instruction set and executable format used on Ma

Not the parent, but I can imagine a pretty fast left-to-right algorithm. First assemble all the CSS rules into a tree, where each non-leaf node represents a selector and following a path down the tree corresponds to reading a selector from

Part of it is that most CPU architectures don’t make overflow checking as cheap as it could be (there’s no option to trap on overflow, so you need a branch after every arithmetic operation, which has some cost). Another part is the compile

Technically it’s only the standard library that lacks custom allocator support. Box and Vec and all the rest are “just” types defined in the standard library, and if you define your own, you can use any allocator you want and still take ad

Many fighting games did and do use lockstep; it’s only recently that rollback has started to become the norm, and some recent big releases still don’t have it. But fans actively clamor for rollback because it’s a far superior experience.

On a related note, I’ve noticed that vegetarian jerky and other vegetarian meat-product substitutes have a slightly lower protein-to-calorie ratio than the originals. Not a big difference, but consistent.
