Back then, there were still lots of “wipers” that deleted files and/or destroyed the OS. Now it’s all spyware and ransomware.

Well, a conversational AI with sub-human abilities still has some uses. Notably scamming people en masse so human email scammers will be put out of their jobs /s

my comfortable little subset of C++

I also have one. I call it “C”

Yes. It’s not wrong 100% of the time, otherwise you could make a fortune by asking it for investment advice and then doing the opposite.

What happened is like the current robot craze: they made the technology resemble humans, which drives attention and money. Specialized “robots” can indeed perform tedious tasks (CNC, pick-and-place machines) or work safely with heavier objects (construction equipment). Similarly, we can use AI to identify data forgery or fold proteins. If we try to make either human-like, they will appear to do a wide variety of tasks (which drives sales & investment) but not be great at any of them. You wouldn’t buy a humanoid robot just to reuse your existing shovel if excavators are cheaper. (Yes, I don’t think a humanoid robot with digging capabilities will ever be cheaper than a standard excavator).

The purpose of code is to solve a problem but don’t tell that to the newbies or they reduce the PHP codebase you spend full time managing to 10% that in Rust and take your job.

Wait, the French pronounce ChatGPT as “shat-zhé-pé-té” and not “chat-gee-pee-tee”? I guess they had it coming.

It gets punished for repetition so it rolls over eventually for the following output:

Definitely, you can see some lines in the top left zigzagging back left, which would not be possible if each was a function of the x-axis. In fact, both axes are a function of the hidden z-axis, which is time and comes in discrete yearly steps, the latest of which (2021) is highlighted.

The website title says “Arm Developer”, not “ARM Developer”, in a clearly non-acronym way so it’s a guide for making prosthetic hardware. Of course you want a cyborg arm to parse JS natively, why else even get one?

That’s why “availability” is a core tenet of security (according to some cybersecurity course I took). It is easy to prevent unauthorized access to data if you have no requirements on authorized access.

The PR is getting way ahead of rocketry results. It’s not helping that Elon is involved.

Formatting

Many text parsers trim down whitespace unless it’s explicitly a code block. You see this often when people attempt to use interleaved spaces for emphasis. For example:

R E D   H A T

becomes “R E D H A T” in your Markdown interpreter.

I think WhatsApp supports code snippets with backticks.

“Smart”watch app:

(Dial Settings)

Edit: It was actually called “Nastavení vytáčení” (Dialing Settings) in Czech, the closest German word is “Herausdrehung” but the correct translation is “Telefonnummerwählen” or something
