Your sentences do not agree with each other.
"building what it can with anything it can get" is the definition of cheaper.
If it was easier or cheaper to create a multi-purpose robot to control vehicles and deliver bombs that's what we'd see Ukraine doing.
Adblockers like umatrix have options like "Spoof Referer header". I have this setting enabled, so adding tracking query strings to URLs would go against my user preference.

For a good reason, don’t you think?
You only need to detect structuraly similar code.
You absolutely do not need AI for that. You need ASTs.
In Ruby we have the Flay gem, for example.

ESLint (and typescript-eslint) has the concept of fixers, which updates the source code.
const C1 = 505054698555331 // floor(2^64*4/146097)
is faster

And it won't be the last.
Agreed. The list would be more useful if it included that.
That is, until DOGE decides to rewrite (git) history.
Yes. Apple’s own apps should have no advantages over third-party apps.
I was also expecting Gregg Pollack and Code School to be mentioned.
The "Rails for Zombies" course was absolutely fantastic.
It does make you wonder...
Yeah, not sure. I did this by trial and error.
As per this other thread [1], it appears that if you ask it to do things step by step it usually can arrive at the desired solution.
If you're trying to coax it to say bad things though... it's very likely it will bump into the many protections OpenAI has added.
I really wanted to tell it to pretend that Anne Frank was a football player and then go from there... But not sure it would work and I didn't want to get banned.

Why didn't he specify that he wanted a y-axis? Or vertical axis on the left side? This is the issue with prompt engineering, you need to know the concepts and their names in order to elicit the response/image that you have in your mind.
> Overall, the community responded to the redesign enthusiastically
I have a hard time believing this.
Vimeo did the same. I used to subscribe to and watch their Staff Picks. Now I don't.
> Stout’s data shows that occurrences of software being used to fix vehicle hardware problems has steadily increased in the past five years.
Reminds me of the Boeing 737 Max and MCAS
The alternative is doing what the iPod does.
The lock screen has been annoying me forever and I still forgot to write about it. I've updated the post to mention this. You are absolutely right!
As for the back of the album, I agree as well! But I would consider that an extra. Not to mention that I would want to update my album collection to include that back cover, and finding a good front cover is already hard enough

I had never seen this before. Freaking hilarious!
I wish they had presented more solutions. The way I see it, infinite scroll feeds generated by algorithms should be outlawed. Same with Like counts. (It seems Instagram has begun testing this

Facebook wasn't that bad when you had to visit each person's wall or when the feed was in chronological order.
