Just curious, which games gave you problems?

Well that's the real question, isn't it? Our current best technology, LLMs, are good enough for translating an email or meeting transcript and getting the general message across. Anything more creative, technical, or nuanced, and

A translation is absolutely under copyright. It is a creative process after all. This means a book can be in public domain for the original text, because it's very old, but not the translation because it's newer. For example Juliu

Obviously this would happen with the current administration in the USA. The foundation should be moved to a country where the rule of law and neutrality are respected. Switzerland perhaps?

They're not more evil, it's probably a tie. What they do have is considerably more reach and power. As a result they're much more dangerous.

Are you a US citizen?
157.
by nickserv 2y ago
The US hasn't been doing the heavy lifting. It's been Europe. They were doing the bare minimum under Biden, and are now actively helping Putin.

France and the UK are the obvious candidates, as both are nuclear powers. Ideally there would be some coordination at the EU level, but really hard to see that short term.

The language encourages metaprogramming, and disencourages typing. This makes maintenance much more complicated when compared to other languages such as Python, typescript or PHP.

If not intentional, then a happy side effect. The goal is to destroy the state apparatus from the inside, to be replaced by private industry.

I use PyCharm community edition for personal/OSS projects. At work I do have the all products pack since we support multiple programming languages for our client libraries and custom integrations. My only major complaint with jetbrains

Not sure what you mean by "rich" as it's a pretty vague term. If you mean top 0.5%, then sure, nearly all of their money typically does not come from regular income. If you mean top 10% then not really, most people in that br

I've been doing Python development for a long time, since when 2.4 was the hottest thing. I've used the language for all sorts of things: web apps, web APIs, GUI tools, image manipulation, data processing and visualization, some d

There's always the handbrake.

How old are we talking about here? If you have power brakes then when the engine shuts off the brakes don't work at 100%. At that point you're needing to push the hydraulic fluid without assistance and you'll find it's r

Having lived through a bunch of hurricanes in south Florida I can very confidently say people absolutely evacuate when given the order to.

Yes, of course. One of the Ruby shops I worked for did exactly this. But why add the extra complexity? Ruby and Python are similar enough in terms of productivity and processing time that there's no reason to do this IMHO.

by nickserv 2y ago
There is definitely some link to the technology and developer productivity, and therefore team size. It's true that statically typed, compiled languages tend to take more time to ship a similar feature, than loosely typed dynamic langu

I would not. I've used PHP, Python, Go, JS/TS, and Ruby in production with small to medium teams. Teams that I managed on occasion and recruited, to a certain extent. RoR is great at first but in my experience quickly becomes full

Out of curiosity, since you already have lidar on the machine, why not use it to detect grass height?

Fiat 500 and Mini Cooper are certainly not tiny. I mean the originals from the 70's yeah but the new ones are huge and bloated in comparison. Anyway such tiny vehicles do exist in Europe and Asia. The Citroën Ami (the new EV one) come

If it would allow other manufacturers to use the software in their own vehicles, meaning truly open source, it's the opposite of anticompetitive behavior. I could see some of the newer, much smaller electric vehicle manufacturers takin

Biodiversity should also include various varieties of the same species. In some cases it's even interesting to have wild varieties of cultivated fruit trees simply for better pollination. As indicated in the article, there are olive va

Intelligent people are not any less likely to be delusional than anyone. They are however, much better at convincing themselves and others of their delusions. People that have logic training such as lawyers and engineers even more so.

Absolutely. The point I was making though, is that regulations could very well come from an initive of the Japanese government. Of course the reality is that both the US and Japan are involved in chip restrictions, as both have to gain by r
