chemical sensing is still quite good though.
Gain Of Function research is far more pressing, non-hypothetical, issue which may have already caused a major pandemia.
How about NeurVA, NeurTN or NeurOLED?
Re:Making memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0) well-defined on Thursday December 12, 2024 @04:31AM (#42397667)
"NULL" in fact is a macro, not a part of the language. null (zero pointer) is, and it is explicitly defined in standard, that comparison of two null pointers lead to equality. You example simply won't compile, it is not undefined; the pointers simply are of different type, period.

here what standard says:

"A pointer to void may be converted to or from a pointer to any object type.

Conversion of a null pointer to another pointer type yields a null pointer of that type. Any two null pointers shall compare equal."

therefore, convert any of them or both to void amd compare. you'll get equality.

Cannot find any confirmation to your statement. Otoh "All null pointer values (of compatible typewithin the same address space) are already required to compare equal. " in the limked paper.
You are not being serious at this point. OTOH I find that chatting with LLMs helps me in studying a lot, esp. when I fight over subtle hallucinations.

No. I meant literally, leaving all the semantincs intact.
Re:Bitcoin price hits $100K for first time in history on Thursday December 05, 2024 @07:39AM (#42327642)
As I emphasized, very clearly, that it does not make difference in this very particularly case, I want to stress, nontheless, that the phrasing of the title is misleading; from what you've said yourself, we need to measure bitcoin price in 2010 dollars then, as the title suggests "first time in history", presumingly Bitcoin history. Guess what it is not there yet. It is 80K in 2010 dollars.
LLM hallucinations in fact has a positive side effect too, if you are using them for learning some subject; makes you verify their claims, and finding errors in them is very rewarding.

Never understood this kind of sensational statements without inflation adjustment. Although does not make difference in this case, but all these claims "X has never been this expensive" often ignore inflation adjustment; render them meaningless.
I think OCaml needs a face lift to make it look like Rust.

Typical US-centric way of thinking. If your healthcare system is crippled it does not justify making internet mess for everyone else in the world.

"tiling"? what do you mean by that?

If someone is making a brazen statement of being "a bad guy because 80K is not enough, and could not find anything decent for those extra $30K" what kind of treatment would they expect?

Hmm I live in a large Asian city. 11 year olds ride buses and do shopping errands by themselves. A mile a bit of a stretch though unless it is a school trip.

LATAM has nothing in common with the Western thinking. You are people of passion, no matter who Argentinians vote in always ended in disaster. Milei if far right, and as big an idiot as your lefties.

Meanwhile, anyone who ever been to developed Europe or Asia can attest, that although far left by American standards, average Joe has far greater quality of live; heck even Canada has affordable healthcare which is such a big problem in the US.

I used to be sceptical about BYD until I had a ride in BYD SUV a month ago. Very, very comfortable car.

Soda is not "very acidic", for the exception of coke, which has strong acid added to it. Carbonic acid is very weak, and won't prevent bacteria from growing.

What if Penrose is right? Then QC could be very well reachable.
Looks similar to KDE icons. Minimalistic should scale very well.
