Magnesium supplementation solved my sleep issues. I have seen many doctors, including sleep specialists, regarding insomnia. They all pointed to one source as the reason for the sleep issues: stress. And they all wanted to put me on prescri

C++ is probably the only language that needs a strong style guide, to define a subset you are allowed to use in the project. Linus Torwalds famously said that subset is zero. You're not allowed to use C++ in Linux, a wise move. Here&#x

Boko traditionally refers to Western or secular education (as opposed to Islamic education).

Right, and that's a serious limitation when in strict mode .

by petilon 3mo ago
Right, and that's the problem. There should be DATE and BOOL as well, especially in strict mode.

The downside of strict tables is that some data types are not available, such as Date. Strict should really be the default. If a database is shared by multiple applications then you should be able to rely on the declared data type. If one a

It is very important for an unstable/eccentric person like Elon Musk to be the new AOL and "own the internet", which is what could happen if he launches 100k satellites. Elon Musk will use his power to make political decision

SpaceX has many investors, not owners. If you don't have any say in how the company is run you're not an owner. SpaceX utilizes a dual-class share structure where CEO Elon Musk retains between 82.4% and 85% of the total voting pow

This may be just one bad employee, i.e., Mr. Tan. Your quoted sentences say OpenAI did such and such, but it may all be just Mr. Tan. That's not to say OpenAI is not responsible because they are supposed to give strong guidance to new

They can, that's how they know. The concern is that if they block, some legit users will get blocked as well, due to false positives. Remember, the distillation may not be happening from Chinese IP addresses.

After watching the movie everyone in the audience goes back to their offices, and what do they use to improve their productivity? Right, AI.

Isn't that a bit like working in the movie industry and no longer being able to enjoy films because you are always thinking about how they were made and noticing their flaws?
