I think there's also option 3, v8 understands types and uses them for optimization, but handles wrong types gracefully. I don't think any type of understanding TS would require changing ECMAScript spec. Would a TypeScript-understa

I think that's more or less what marmalade2413 was saying and I agree with that. AI is not comparable to humans, especially today's AI, but I think future actual AI won't be either.

Isn't it obvious that the way AI works and "thinks" is completely different from how humans think? Not sure what particular source could be given for that claim.

Yeah, that was my point, it's easy for me, but that's not the case for most people in the country. And I guess that most people living near me don't think about putting electronics in the dedicated container anyway, even if t

I love this idea. I like exploring code of interesting projects even if I don't intend to ever work on them, but in complex software I don't know much about it's hard to even find where are the most important basic parts. Thi

To go through all 10^84 possible combinations in a billion years, around 10^67 combinations would have to be "tried" per second. So yeah, it doesn't seem feasible to have one and only correct combination of 140 nucleotides sp

More like "OBS is Qt". Which it is not, OBS uses Qt. And Chrome is just a runtime and GUI framework for VS Code. Let's not confuse forks of software with software built on something.

Looks very nice! I think I found a bug: after pausing, moving a body and unpausing, I cannot move the camera. Changing "follow" to something and back to "none" helps.

I think it would be better and faster if the website calculated the positions of the nodes in the background (with a good enough limit of iterations), and then showed the result. Animating 4k nodes and 25k edges (15k by default) is a waste

I checked a random Kenyan address on starlink.com, and it would be around 386 USD for the dish there (with service for 50 USD/mo), so not cheap. In Poland I see that they're giving the dish for free with some 1-year contract (58 U

Power of pardon could be limited in many ways, for example commuting a death sentence to a prison sentence could be allowed. Or commuting a long prison sentence to a shorter sentence, with some lower limit. It's not binary.

"any video of politicians being confronted (...), they will almost always (...)" So not "all" who are confronted, but "almost" all. Not a very big difference, but that's still not "all".
