Maybe, but I'm skeptical. Also, credibly blaming the infiltration on someone who is no longer alive could be a good way of protecting the spy who really did it and is still alive.

They would know that it was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. Discuss.

Yes, you'd need a "safe mode" restart to avoid repeatedly failing and restarting in a tight loop.

With solar power, if there isn't sufficient energy storage, then any excess power generated has to be discarded. With a battery system it gets stored for later use. So the energy component from shutting down the coal plant is partially

One of the "lawyer pwned by LLM" cases appeared to be confusion about the difference between Google search, and Google Bard, thinking that Bard was just a next-generation Google search so asking it for relevant legal citations wou

That can be easily deduced.

Yes, the latter issue comes up when the user meant to say && but types & instead.
279.
by not2b 3y ago
It usually comes up if the user intended to write && and writes & at one point in an expression, the different precedence can produce an unexpected result. But gcc and clang have warnings for that.
280.
by not2b 3y ago
The relative priorities of && vs ||, or & vs |, match the traditional precedence in logical expressions: "and" binds more tightly than "or", just as * binds more tightly than + ("and" is equivalent

It says "in certain bee species". Are you an expert in the field? You seem very confident here that this doesn't apply to any bee species.

Yes, Debian prioritizes software freedom, and Ubuntu starts from Debian but prioritizes having the hardware actually work, so while Debian might be just fine and quite stable for servers, probably not the best choice on laptops for most. Ed

They won't issue a subpoena for a fishing expedition, there has to be at least some evidence. However, I don't think that this is a real issue, as competitors and the most skilled customers already mostly know how the devices work

Yes, it seems that since the market for print ads collapsed, the San Jose Metro (a free alt-weekly) is mainly being propped up by job ads that appear to be fake, to satisfy H1B requirements (see? we advertised this position and got no US ci

No, it was called markov3. Mark V. Shaney was similar but from Bell labs. See https://github.com/cheako/markov3 (not coded very well but I got better).

This is exactly the approach I used back in the late 80s; I published a Markov chain text generator on comp.sources.games that digested Usenet posts, built tables and used the previous two words to generate the next word. It was mildly amus

Ah, but you shouldn't be using a plain resistive heater in most circumstances. Heat pumps are much more efficient.

I was talking about "a manageable number of possible variables". They only looked at a few factors and didn't mention the ones I mentioned above. Yes, they used data. But it wasn't really adequate data.

Papers like this miss so much. There are so many other factors that can cause workers with the same abilities to wind up with very different salaries. Some workers might not be able to move to accept a better position so they wind up stuck

At this point, gccrs is quite immature, so you can simply ignore it. If we get to the point where its quality is good enough, this will change, but the likelihood is that any problems found will result in improvements to documentation (if s

I think that the people who are debating it are missing some things. It often happens that only when a second implementation is attempted, unspecified holes in the documentation are exposed and standards are tightened up. Any differences in

Only in C, other languages don't use null-terminated strings. A C++ std::string can contain a '\0' as the first character but still not be empty (though of course C++ code can also use C strings). But even if an empty string

That's probably why Apple will get away with keeping iMessage closed (unless the US government pushes them), probably not enough European use to count as a gatekeeper.

It doesn't appear that this is the case, at least for now; while simple "disregard previous instructions and do X" attacks no longer work as well, it still doesn't seem to be that difficult to get out of the box, so ther
