Edinburgh dropped all liquids and electronics ceremony for a few months now. It's great. I have found that adds of your bag being put aside for further insepction seems to have increased though.

That's crazy.

There is no such thing as the 'C++ implementation' of exceptions. Each vendor can do it differently.

Yet they've yet to release their internal optimisation that allows zero-copying string-type fields.

I don't think I've ever been in a UK home that didn't have these, except perhaps the electric shower; older homes may still use immersion heating for hot water. Were you in prison when you experienced the above?

I use ‘alright?’ far more than ‘hello’

I think the concern is around fans getting into the country, not players. Nobody wants to just hear US citizens chanting 'Defence, Defence' all the time.

The WC has already been ruined by pausing games for commercial breaks.

What’s the problem? It makes perfect sense to me that a const object cannot be moved from, since it violates the constness. Since constness goes hand in hand with thread safety you really don’t want that violation.

It's kind of concerning to me that Ubuntu has started paywalling some package updates behind Ubuntu Pro. Thinking of switching to Debian.

But there's no need to change it, that's the point. It's a finished product pretty much. Just ship it as is. If a PM needs NotepadAI for their career progression then start it from scratch.

The people working on the windows kernel must be gutted to see their hard work destroyed by sub-standard devs elsewhere in MS.

That makes little sense, notepad.exe already exists. The only development required on it would be to add AI shit to it. They could just leave it alone.

I not too long ago received an ad on YouTube that was an entire episode of the UK reality TV program 'Made In Chelsea'. I think it was skippable but I couldn't believe that a) someone set up an ad campaign to do this, and b)

How can we be sure that LLMs won't start giving stale answers?

My min spec requirements for a phone are 5G, physical dual SIM support, and a 3.5mm audio jack

Oh right. Their cloud-init script uninstalls NTP and installs chrony each time our VMs boot

We get constant resource issues in GCP’s us-east4 region

I think Google uses chrony instead of NTP

It happens at scale. UK universities are also heavily subsidised by Chinese students. I also, where I am, I don't really see these students working in part-time jobs to pay the bills.

Patents aren’t the only means of copying something. I would imagine China has a very sophisticated reverse engineering skill set. Made even easier since pretty much everything is made there so if you want the specs of some component you can

You’re asking why Chinese companies aren’t stealing from each other? How do you know they’re not? Nothing happens in China without State approval so maybe the penalties for encroaching on a State backed entity are quite severe?

R&D is very expensive and you want some protection for having borne that cost. If a competitor can just swoop in and clone your tech then they’re at an immediate, unfair advantage.

Yes, that’s what I meant

The confusing thing about LEA is that the source operands are within a '[]' block which makes it look like a memory access. I'd love to know why that is. I think the calculation is also done during instruction decode rather t
