Sarcasm?

I meant in terms of contributions to the economy and talent pool, yes.

> don't socialize too much outside of their native language

If lack of socializing is an important factor, one should stop hiring introverts as well.

False dichotomy. An H1B hire who has graduated from a US university and will receive a green card in a few years and become a US citizen after another 5 contributes to "the next generation of US talent" in the same way as John from Chicago.

Given that the inference engine is dealing with untrusted inputs by definition, presumably you would want to sandbox it anyway. I don't think it matters whether it's the inputs that are untrusted or the outputs.

Or you can just have a URL that points to skill.md?

Fwiw, Sol's reasoning output is always overly excited. Almost every paragraph ends with something like "I want to do a great job!" or "let's try and find out!" Etc, exclamation mark included.

Regular (non reasoning) output sounds normal, it's something specific to whatever model they are using to summarize reasoning.

The comment you were replying to said that the reason for high prices is oligopoly and you've replied that the way to prevent oligopoly is to be against communism, so logically it follows that fighting communism would help lower the prices, no?

Ah, yes, clearly communism is the reason for high inflation in the US...

I'm confused, https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/faq/#isn-t-it-a-... claims that jinja doesn't allow arbitrary code in templates - how does the exploit work?

I always wondered why a grocery store in the eu, for the love of their users, won't just drop money usage. Just give out food for free, except for alcohol.

I (and presumably a lot of other people) don't believe that it's possible to build a system that can dynamically determine when it's acceptable to steal focus with low enough error rate to make it better than a total ban.

Seemingly you disagree and believe that such a system is possible. Is there anything preventing you from implementing it to prove the doubters wrong?

If computers could read thoughts and 100% reliably determine when the user is done with their current task and would like to switch back to the other application, then yes, it would definitely make sense to implement the functionality you're describing.

In the real world, where it's impossible for the OS to distinguish between the "You stopped checking in the first 0.5 sec while the app took 1 sec to start" scenario and the "you're still busy with the current task and don't want to switch to the other app yet" scenario, the safe choice is always to not steal the focus because the cost of switching too early is significantly higher than the cost of not switching.

> OS page cache can generate writes

Is this a hallucination? What am I missing? Why would heavy reads generate writes?

And yet Steam Controller somehow only works with Steam...

"written in rust"

Why would they care about this?

People make and lose real money in Las Vegas every day too, but millions of people don't have their retirement dependent on casino winnings.

My IKEA furniture has lasted 12 years so far, including 3 moves, with only minor cosmetic damage.

This worked for me just a few weeks ago

If that was the case they wouldn't need to forbid "parking" since it would not be possible to "park" without "driving" first.

It's explicitly legal for cabs to drop off passengers cycle lanes in London https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/walking-and-cycling-changes-o...

You've quoted the rules which forbid parking and driving in the bike lane and then went on to confidently make up the part about stopping and dropping people off.

How do you immediately jump from "fun" to nefarious behavior? Are you implying that it's impossible for anyone to have fun in a non-nefarious way?

No it doesn't?

Where does it answer this question in the article?

With -π to π radians you get absolute error of approximately 4e-16 radians. With -180 to 180 degrees you get absolute error of approximately 2e-14 degrees.

Even though the first number is smaller than the 2nd one, they actually represent the same angle once you consider that they are different units. So there's no precision advantage (absolute or relative) to converting degrees to radians.

Note that I'm not saying anything about fixed vs floating point, only responding to an earlier comment that radians give more precision in floating point representation.
