That might be the case, but my experience with databases (and especially PostgreSQL) is that most of the time I actually misunderstood the exact semantics of either the operation or the index. That would be a good chance to learn something

Why was this downvoted? Amazon "literally killing their employees" was news to me too and a credible source would have been nice.

That's how I understood it too. The misalignment was because the editor would automatically turn two one-sided lines (walls) into a single two-sided line and connect the sectors, and mess everything up. The engine itself probably didn&

The editor manual said that you couldn't do that, and I'm pretty sure I tried and the game glitched. You had to split that sector into multiple ones for that to work, even though from a player's perspective it looked like a

That only means you have to distinguish by frequency and magnitude of quirks, and languages are very different then.

I might be the exception here, but IMHO it is pretty patronizing how non-technical people are expected to keep up with the digital security landscape. Instead of building devices in a way that, of all things, charging them cannot hack the

Why is that question important? It's interesting from a scientific point-of-view, but the answer doesn't change the fact that it is there. The answer might help us predict where to find much or little of it, though.

Most of that is static data, so if stored unpacked, a larger flash should be sufficient to make the game need very little RAM. Unfortunately, if I read it correctly, this one only has 1MB of flash. (oh: but SD card. That could work!)

Is there some napkin math available on the net for a transmission line with a nitrogen-cooled high-temp superconductor (Tc > 90K) and thick thermal insulation? I mean for the energy required per km too keep it cooled below Tc.

I don't think that "makes mistakes -> dumb" is a valid conclusion. People make mistakes based on limited time, limited information, and various other reasons. As an example that isn't too far from third-party ink cart

I think you are fighting a strawman here. These models are far from perfect, and critique is certainly needed to improve them. That being said, I don't think saying that the model outputs information from its training set adds a lot to

You'll have to add one reaction to that list: "it didn't generate the game because something like that was in the training data". Nevermind that this perfectly describes 90% of software development. I'm actually won

Have you consulted a lawyer to check if you can even forbid employees doing this? It sounds unenforceable to me (depending on your country, YMMV of course).

That isn't really the same, is it? That Twitter account talks about violating the GC in-game while Stardew Valley violated it in real life.
