In summary, employees who are impressed by corporate bullshit do badly on tests of analytic intelligence. This is very unsurprising.

Cheers. I was more confused by how you were doing multiple matches. So I read the paper, which describes the AllEnds algorithm. If I understand correctly, the reverse pass captures all of the match starts and these need to be remembered

As originally written, doesn't it go from the start of the first match to the end of the last match? I feel like I'm missing something.

This is very impressive. > how does RE# find the leftmost-longest match efficiently? remember the bidirectional scanning we mentioned earlier - run the DFA right to left to find all possible match starts, then run a reversed DFA left to

I'd guess they are selling access to other people somehow. Like it used to be the case that a stolen phone would rack up enormous overseas call charges until it was reported and disabled.

It's also legal for a step-father to marry his step-son and for a father to marry his son. Similarly for mothers and daughters. But it may become illegal to depict this. Parliament is full of idiots.

Presumably, this is (or will be) dual-licensed to enterprise customers who want the bug fixes but don't want to publish their code in accordance with the AGPL. Dual-licensing is much simpler for the author if he doesn't accept co

Is this a guessing game? Which specific claim in the article do you think is wrong? What do you think is the true situation?

by masfuerte 8mo ago
You quote a section about unpublished work. The painting was published nearly a hundred years ago so the quote isn't relevant. If you think the article is wrong please state how.

Are you sure? Post 9/11 the CIA decided they needed to be in the business of kidnapping and torturing. They didn't seem to have any trouble finding employees to do it.

I remember when I was a very young child - more than half a century ago - getting into trouble for eating dirt. I was amused more recently to hear about my nephew doing the same thing. It seems, from my point of view, to be instinctive.

There's this in London and Birmingham: https://f1arcade.com/uk They have 50-odd full-motion Formula One simulators in each location and they seem to be aiming for a much higher quality experience than an arcade.

It wasn't a hack. The company used an external AI service. ETA: They didn't ship data off to e.g. ChatGPT. They hired a subcontractor to build them a secure AI service. Details in this comment: https://news.ycombinato

Where? According to Wikipedia, suicide is no longer illegal anywhere in Europe.

Same here. And I just noticed yesterday that Firefox had added and enabled a "Suggestions from sponsors" feature. Which I've now disabled, but presumably it's been sending anything I type into the address bar to Mozill

If you choose uniformly from a set then all possible selections are equally likely, by definition. The set is the interior of a circle, which is an area. There's no ambiguity.

This. Not only is it faster, the images are likely to be of better quality. If you rasterize the pages then the images will be scaled, unless you get very lucky.

Right? Each legitimate stream, including the pirate's, includes a unique ID. The content protection company subscribes to the pirate stream, gets the ID, and shuts down the pirate. This works today. The problem that Sky has is that

You don't need to. During premium streams the clients are frequently rekeying. So you cancel the streamer's subscription and the stream soon stops. The streamer also loses the rest of the month's subscription and goes onto
