So, it was the only vehicle on the course and only had to travell in a straight line? I mean... what was actually being demonstrated here? That it knew how to shift?

OpenAI appears to have been completely sucked in by greed and just shouldn’t be allowed to stop being a non-profit.

If it’s going to take 4 years to replace the trees lost in a single hurricane season this isn’t going to go well.

My understanding is that there's a contract to design an updated version but I don't think they've actually ordered any new motors.

The SLS is designed to use leftover Shuttle motors and there aren't enough of them, and several parts of the project are far behind schedule. And now Peregrine failed. That happens, but it's certainly embarrassing considering how many countries have planted probes on the moon in recent years.

I once collected a lot of cred and, possibly, a later promotion for implementing one of his algorithms to improve an application's performance in the early 90s. I will never forget the value of partially ordered heaps!

It's not about the color of the bubble, it's about all the extra features that iMessage supports but SMS doesn't.

> So, someone used an "exploit" to make a closed protocol interoperable, the interoperability was shut down. What "protocol interoperability" are you talking about? Beeper doesn't make Android SMS apps work with iMessage, Beeper is a proprietary application that they want to charge money for - an application that used a security hole to access Apple's iMessage servers without a valid account.

> Beeper adds a compatibility layer so that iMessage works on Android or whatever. Apple don't like that. No, there is no "compatibility layer". Beeper found a way to hack Apple's messaging servers so that Android phones could pretend to be iPhones.

even when I was a kid I thought it was just fluff. Omni and (later) Discover were much better.

You posted links reporting that Apple has fixed security flaws as proof that Apple has multiple unpatched security flaws? How does that work, exactly?

You need to read that poll again. Permanent daylight-saving time (later sunrises and sunsets): 50%, Permanent standard time (earlier sunrises and sunsets): 31%, No preference: 12%, Not sure: 7%,

I do not regret my decision to become a programmer instead of a writer.
