Xor isn't Turing complete sadly.

It's not UB. Integer promotion applies, the signed int is implicitly coerced to unsigned (or the other way around - don't remember which.)

Yeesh, one illegal move attempt means you just lose? That's harsh...

Javascript/PCRE/etc regexes have additional features (like backreferences) that give them strictly more computational power than a regular DFA/NFA. (Still not Turing complete thoug…

So it is NP (in fact P)

We Americans can't understand ourselves either.

Right wing anti-environmentalist political statement.

Updated nginx on all my company's VMs as soon as I found out about this

Nintendo Switch does not run Linux, it runs a proprietary OS called Horizon based on the Nintendo 3DS firmware. Not sure but it might or might not have some BSD code in the network…

I'd bet even more Linux usage is ChromeOS which even more barely counts, and certainly both are dwarfed by Android which simply doesn't count.

It's like simple n-gram Markov chain algorithms vs modern LLMs for text

Read that as "only depends on the base dotnet runtime." I think the C# compiler at least can emit native code these days, but I'm not primarily a dotnet dev either so not too famil…

27 unique levels. 40KB minus a handful of spare bytes and some unused code. The max the NES can support without mappers. Modern NES homebrew and demoscene can do fancier stuff with…

Best (for older kids) would be a dumb cell phone like we had in the 2000s. Good for phone calls, texting, and simple offline apps like casual games, camera and music player. Maybe …

Problem with f16 is that hardware support is still "new" and can't be relied on in consumer grade CPUs yet.

GP is asking about the text prompt itself, not the generated image. If pure text can qualify as CSAM in Australia then it's a logical question.

I believe this means "VBMACXOR16X16X16" is now officially the longest x86 mnemonic

Question: why did they decide to make /usr/bin the "primary" and /bin the symlink? Methinks it should have been the other way around as was the original Unix design before the spli…

Thankfully it's trivially easy to disable OneDrive via the task manager startup tab. Never had any issues with MSFT sneakily turning it back on either. This super aggressive OneDri…

And on macOS if you need bash > 3.2

What is the alternative to PGP for the specific use case of secure email? That doesn't mandate dealing with the X509 certificate bureaucracy?

As long as you don't have any security compliance requirements and/or can afford the cost of self hosting your LLM, sure. Anyone working in government, banking, or healthcare is st…

I would add to that, replace #include with a proper module system that fixes the encapsulation and redundant parsing problems once and for all. It's 2025 and C++ modules still aren…

No doubt Nintendo was involved in the lobbying effort for this. Back in the 80s they successfully pushed to amend Japanese copyright law to ban game rentals.

Per IEEE 754, yes, but JS the language doesn't distinguish between NaN representations.
