Nice idea but killing someone is very cheap. It's injury that requires permanent care that's very expensive. At some point they came up with "moral hazard" for this kind of thing but the lesson was forgotten.

I'm sure the author was given an appropriate spiel, but it just screams naivety. No, the guys operating recon drones in Ukraine are not in permanent PTSD at the horrors and evil of the "drone warfare", it's the highlight

This topic is again forever tainted by weird sci-fi fans, like when we had the magic room temperature superconductor that never was. They confuse ChatGPT writing a fanfic with the singularity.

I don't know if that is the case. Here is a low code flagship product few people have heard of: https://mathworks.com/products/simulink.html It runs your car engine.

Different countries have different laws and requirements around grid-connected inverters, mostly so people working on the grid don't get electrocuted when a stray inverter keeps feeding in power.

You have to prove the bank robber did it too? Why is it that we wiretap phones, subpoena companies, search homes and detain people for the lowest of drug crimes but everyone throws their hands up here? Like, how did you expect to make a cas

No, my brain goes that the machine constantly suggesting "jump off now!" in between the occasional legal chess move probably isn't quite right in the head. And that the people suggesting this is all perfectly fine because we

Which is why reorganizing all school systems around teaching the standardized test and judging teachers by these results has been such an overwhelming success that "virtually nobody [..] disagrees with".

API contracts are not free, and for things that were not decided to be an API and or a contract an absolute waste of time. Of course I’m “breaking all contracts at once”, for most of them were never a contract to begin with, and the monorep

Thats a weird question, every embedded system that is a consumer product will end up with limited RAM simply because less RAM is a $1 saved on the BOM. For most systems, RAM is a choice, and for many of them someone will ask at the end &quo
