You’re describing implementation-defined behavior, not undefined behavior. IB does something but the committee doesn’t say what. UB does anything and the compiler can assume you never intended to cause it.

I’m baffled. Are you saying the Republicans were acting more like grownups? I think the Democrats learned too late that the voters didn’t want grownups and weren’t sure how to respond.

Sorry, not understanding your point. Yes, they did lose to the unprecedented level of bad, that’s what we’re talking about.

OK, 0.2% off a majority of voters. Still plenty of people actively calling for this.

So we have a small business absorbing costs (aka losing money) to postpone the effects of this policy on their customers, to their own detriment. The administration has already shown other industries that the policy will flip as soon as som

We had a full four-year trial period for this administration, plus four years of additional public shenanigans, plus a published detailed action plan (Project 2025). I don’t know what else they could have done to make it obvious what you we

Passively? Actively. A majority of voters handed over all the keys to these guys in full knowledge of the kind of people they are and what they wanted to do.

Having spent some time working with both molecular biologists and LLM folks, I think it's pretty good analogy. We know enough quantum mechanics to simulate the fundamental workings of a cell pretty well, but that's not a route to

I'm pretty sure it could have done that equally easily, but this grammar is small enough that a parser generator is overkill. (I made that decision before I asked the LLM to write the parser.)

Though just to be clear, because the term "medical decision" is rather broad, all 50 states have immunization requirements for attending school.

You want me to do a Google search for a parser for the language that I just invented? If you have a parser generator tool that can go from zero to parser based on a few examples rather than a grammar, I’d love to hear about it.

I agree with the spirit of the argument, but I don’t think you’re taking into account the scale of “typing” we’re talking about now. For example, yesterday I needed a parser for a mini-language. I wrote a grammar — actually not even the for

What he said amounts to “all modern weapons systems can be disabled at the whim of the United States”. And the reference to “years of partnership” highlights the sudden about-face that is now happening with respect to many of those partners

Yes, now you say that, I think what I read was actually about the engines.

When I say “they”, I’m referring to the people ICE reports to. Precedent and rules don’t constrain them, so what happened in past years seems irrelevant.

That’s such an outmoded and naive statement that it’s almost like a coded warning.

I have read that the base price of a Boeing/Airbus jet is typically negotiated below zero, based on the decades of maintenance contracts and spare parts that will have to be purchased over its lifetime.

You are assuming that they follow the rules. Have you been reading the news lately? Rules are for losers.

It’s a little more nuanced though — I doubt the audio processing in Discord is written in JavaScript. (But I haven’t looked!)

Typescript is JavaScript at runtime. It’s not a separate language, just like Python with type annotations (TypePython?) is just Python at runtime. Both are just type annotations that get stripped away before anything tries to run the code

Not really in the case of TypeScript, because (with very small exceptions) when you “compile” TypeScript you are literally just removing the TypeScript , leaving plain JavaScript. It’s just type annotations; it doesn’t describe any runtime

The purpose of the laws should be to ensure fairness. Fairness is not defined by the law. Unless you consider it was fair for women not to be able to vote, when that was the law. There have been many attempts to fix districting laws, but
