As a Jew there’s no difference to me between those who knowingly repeat Nazi slogans (i.e AfD) and “real” Nazis. It’s very easy to not be a Nazi, it’s unnecessary to make excuses for those who know what they are doing. Germans (i.e. ethni

enums are a feature of most programming languages. It doesn't matter to me why TypeScript had to add them, just like it doesn't matter why JS has functions or if statements. 90% of the enums I use are regular integer enums. I don&

OpenAI played themselves here. Now nobody is going to take any of their results on this benchmark seriously, ever again. That o3 result has just disappeared in a poof of smoke. If they had blinded themselves properly then that wouldn't

The usual definition of success for a rocket is getting the payload to the intended orbit. Since Starship doesn't have a payload yet, at least not a real one, its "success rate" is not measuring the same thing. I'd say t
