Sure, but compared to an era when horses were used as a practical form of transport the number is effectively zero. Horses are a novelty that wealthy people play with. ICE cars will go the same way.

Old Victorian terraces in the North East where I live have them because they were built by very wealthy shipyard owners so they could afford to put up high quality housing, and they needed something to keep out the damp. Cavity walls made f

I don't think Americans buy European things because they're cost competitive. Most European goods already have cheaper American equivalents. Pushing prices up will just hurt Americans who want European stuff, but they'll cont

The icons have moved from representing a writing implement as a pen to an Apple Pencil. I doubt that's unintentional.

I wonder if that correlates with the average age of houses. The UK has a lot of buildings that are well over 100 years old that can only be insulated by stuffing cavity walls full of an insulating material. My house is 126 years old, and

The notion that people who aren't developers couldn't figure out how to use this tool well, or be trained to, is a little too negative. Programmers aren't special snowflakes. Everyone with a brain is capable of describing a p

Nvidia have been using TSMC since the Riva 128. That's before Apple started making any of their own silicon. GPUs are easily as predictable as mobile phones.

I'm exploring writing a point and click adventure, and I've found out that they're basically just hierarchical state machines with a pretty UI. This is useful because it simplifies a lot of things. The downside is that now I&

I'm a bit confused by this because a given set of inputs can produce a different output, and different behaviors, each time it is run through the AI. How different the output is each time you generate something from an LLM is a prope

It decays to uranium-234 though, which still isn't exactly nice . It'll be a long time before it's a block of inert lead.

It indicates that the content that follows is not inside of the tag without the reader needing to remember how HTML works. Tags should have either a self-closing slash, or a closing tag. The third way of a bare tag is where the confusion co

In the case of <br/> and <img/> browsers will never use the content inside of the tag, so using a closing tag doesn't make sense. The slash makes it much clearer though, so missing it out is silly.

If you are going to put up hurdles and give us extra jobs, you need to start paying us. Alternatively, we can accept that there will be fewer libraries because some volunteers won't do the extra work for free. Arguably there are too

Overall Codebase size vs context matter less when you set it up as microservices style architecture from the starts. It'll be fun if the primary benefit of microservices turns out to be that LLMs can understand the codebase.
