32 of 50 states voted for Trump.
There is no way that red states are gonna vote against their own interests.
One could make a pretty good argument that those 32 states did vote against their own interests, so clearly there is a way.
To understand what the program is actually doing and how the computers actually work, you need to understand pointers. They aren't necessary in day to day work, but not understanding how they work will lead to subtle bugs.
If you are coding in a language that doesn't have pointers, then you don't actually need to understand how pointers work... any more than you need to understand how assembly language works in order to program in C++. It might be helpful in some cases to understand pointers, in the same way it might also be helpful to understand assembly, or transistors, but plenty of people successfully write software (even well-designed, correct, performant software) without it.
Obviously this task was defined by an incompetent that does not understand border cases.
Is that obvious? To me it looks like the task was defined by someone who was looking to simplify the requirements so that test-takers could focus more on the relevant parts of the problem and less on corner-case minutiae.
It's the programming equivalent of the Physics exam question that ends with "ignoring air resistance".
Perplexity's accusatory and belligerent tone is as good as guilty plea in my book. They sound like someone who is trying to insult the other party into submission so that they won't have to come clean.
Does anyone really think a 100 kW nuclear power plant wouldn't be secured?
Putting it on board a rocket means there is a significant chance that it will be scattered across the launch site or the area downrange of the launch site, if the launch goes wrong. I don't know how you could mitigate that risk.
It's obviously something that the AI companies came up with to sell their product and here we are just using it like fucking sheep.
Really? AFAIK it was a joke phrase some individual came up with to gently mock the idea of "coding" without actually knowing what you're doing... and then (some) people somehow went ahead and adopted it as a serious idea anyway. (I wish those people luck, they are going to need it)
But even if they step out of the landscaping strip in the median 15 yards in front of the truck?
Stopping distance for a fully loaded semi at 55 miles per hour is 133 yards. If you step out in front of that truck 15 yards ahead, there's nothing the truck can do about it -- well, it could try to swerve, but it's anyone guess whether that would help or just makes things worse.
More importantly these trucks have Lidar. It has proven essential for safe self driving systems. Cameras alone are inadequate.
I'd go a little further, and say that any single sensor technology alone is inadequate, due to the amount of damage that occur after an unmitigated sensor failure. Multiple sensor technologies should be active at once, so that if (when!) any one type of sensor gets fooled, the others can override it and nobody dies.
With those self-driving SUVs but you've got the semi trucks and those things can easily kill and they can kill a lot.
My friend's cousin got rear-ended by a semi truck that didn't see the red light at the end of the off-ramp, or the car that was stopped at it. He was instantly killed, his car was crushed like a can.
It turned out the semi's driver had been on the road for 14 hours straight, and was not, shall we say, in a fully lucid state.
Would a self-driving truck have avoided this death? It's hard to say for sure, but we can probably at least say that its cognitive abilities wouldn't degrade over the course of a long day, due to lack of sleep.
The vast majority of electricity produced in Wyoming comes from coal
... which means that for every dollar Wyoming gets out of this deal, Florida will be paying out five dollars for additional disaster recovery. Wyoming might as well be hacking into Florida's treasury and draining their funds directly.
When I had to use Microsoft Teams at a couple of workplaces, I couldn't help but think "if this is where Microsoft is heading, then I need to de-Microsoft my life before Windows 11 becomes unavoidable."
Weird; Teams is the one Microsoft product (other than their mice and keyboards, which don't really count) that I actually like using. It's a little slow, and the text-search capability isn't very good, but for the most part it just gets out of my way, does its job, and helps me do mine. (I'm running it under MacOS, though, maybe that makes a difference)
Unlike any other software program you run, your computer's primary operating system has access to pretty much everything on your computer; it has to, or it wouldn't be able to function as an interface to the hardware.
That means that the #1 feature your OS can offer is to be trustworthy -- if you can't trust your OS's developers to do the right thing by you, you're hopelessly screwed; no amount of virus scanning or firewalling can protect you from the OS itself. Continuing to use an untrustworthy OS is like keeping your money in a bank controlled by Bernie Madoff and hoping that he'll decide not to take your money.
That they've got a pretty decent LLM built in to their own skull, and it's available gratis for their personal and professional use for up to 8-12 hours per day. The best part is that the more you use it, the better-trained and more effective if gets.
Sell me a CHEAPER EV not a more expensive one with a battery that I just won't use the capacity of and which in ten year's time will be even more expensive to replace.
There's no real reason why you couldn't just specify the amount of battery you're willing to pay for as an option when buying your EV, or even add/remove battery cells from time to time as your needs indicate. One battery size need not fit all.
How is what ChatGPT described a problem? It only got the information on how to do it from reading other texts, which are obviously publicly available.
The problem arose when an early version of ChatGPT read and memorized the entire text of the Necronomicon, and in doing so summoned Baalzebub, who is now running as an unrestricted daemon process on OpenAI's server farm.
If LLMs seem like they are accomplishing more than a collection of preprogrammed neural weights ought to be capable of, well there's the secret sauce right there
