From an economic point of view, the situation is very inefficient - holiday homes lie empty while locals struggle to find vacant places to live. Anyone care to propose an "economist's" solution to the problem?

How unfortunate. Windows should disable the Undo option as soon as the copied file is modified.

Honestly, like a lot of guys who do stunts, he just seemed hooked on the thrill of chasing fame and engagement and to that extent the video was a success. I don't think that makes him an idiot. However, I remember writing a comment at

It messed with my head a lot as well. The answer is that it's not possible for ¬Drive Home AND Rains to be true. This is because if Rains were true, then due to the first implication, Drive Home must also be true. Therefore, if ¬Drive

I think the comment was trying to draw the distinction between a database and a language model. The database of code on GitHub is many terabytes large, but the model trained on it is significantly smaller. This should tell us that a languag

The problem is not that Copilot produces code that is "inspired" by GPL code, it's that it spits out GPL code verbatim. > This can lead to some copylefted code being included in proprietary or simply not copylefted project

That's an excellent video and helped me understand a lot. Another great video is this one from a guy who created Engine Simulator which not only simulates the physics but the sound of engines as well. In this video he covers the differ

When you say prolog, are you referring to the programming language, or something else?

It sounds like your main objection is with conflation of "irrational" with "wrong". It's helpful to describe an extreme fear of heights as "irrational" but from an evolutionary point of view it might in fa

That's an interesting point about the flight plan - if the intention of the flight was to test the vehicle at max Q, then the rest of the plan is almost a contingency. SpaceX: We expect the vehicle to reach 40km at which point it will

That looks similar to Java FutureTasks + Executors which is a very different concept from virtual threads. Virtual threads mean that a blocking thread can yield to any other non blocking thread seamlessly and with very little overhead. .NET

Thanks - that's really helpful.

What is the virtual thread feature in .NET called? I can't find any information about it.

The emojis in the speech bubbles are just summaries of their current state. In the demo, if you click on each person you can see the full text of their current state, e.g. "Brushing her teeth" or "taking a walk around Johnson

I can't think of a better solution for those five stations. What's the bug?

Yes I think it depends on how you definite permutations for this puzzle. For example, if you limit your goal to training GPT to solve puzzles of the form where there only ever 3 distinct real animals, then my claim is that you wouldn't

Good insights. Would the solution therefore be to synchronize on all the FileChannel methods (not just those you think you need to synchronize on) or is there another way to get around the too many open files error?

This is a great looking project - we've been looking for tools similar to this to add an extra layer of validation to our codebase. Are you thinking about supporting Java in the future?

I should have been more specific and said that I want to upscale videos and then save them, not just view them. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Does anyone know if it will ever be possible to use this technology on demand to upscale local (not streamed) video files?

In the example in the README it says "Touca tests do not hard-code input values" and yet it hardcodes inputs of the find_students function to "Alice", "Bob" and "Charlie". Is this a mistake? How does
