ARC was basically avoiding typing retain/release when using Cocoa libraries. If you don’t want to use ARC in Swift, use Unmanaged. Same for autolayout, just use view frames and bou…

No, Windows 95 had memory protection for 32-bit apps. Usually when a 32-bit app crashed, the rest of the OS worked fine.

Exactly, the dog was cloned in the US

The funny example from a few months ago asked chatgpt 5.2 if one should walk to the car wash because it’s close by, and it answered yes. This shows that it is in fact sentence cont…

BE-4, this rocket’s engine, is not a full flow engine.

It's not a cheap shot at all. OP is asking why the government is using tax payer money to finance air shows instead of healthcare, regardless of free markets and business regulatio…

The brain uses a lot less energy than an LLM, so most probably it is something completely different. Maybe consciousness is a byproduct of the architecture of the brain, so there i…

If you wouldn’t, why would a big chunk of the population do it? And if they did it, so what? Why is blonde and blue eyes bad? Btw, I also wouldn’t if I could choose.

Would you pick blond hair, blue eyes for your kids? Would black people pick it? Asian?

Several cruise missiles where fired at the school specifically. And anyways, “we didn’t really want to bomb the school” is a sorry excuse.

Having qemm386 solved the issue. I think MSDOS 6 had something like it too.

Why should the US intervene in a bombing campaign against Iran if the problem is between Hamas and Israel?

I said that if the US hadn’t intervened in the war then the school wouldn’t have been bombed, and you switched to Hamas and Israel.

So what does the US have to do with this?

But I can't have the weights of the LLM model I'm using for this.

The issue was starting an unnecessary war. When you did, then all the deaths are on you.

The US attacked Iran because Israel was going to do so anyway. If they didn't attack, that missile wouldn't have killed 150 schoolgirls. Sure, the target was a mistake, but mistake…

The one I like better is: software is great at playing chess, doesn't mean you cannot play too

No, the free software movement wants that the source code of the software you use be available to you to modify it if you wish. AI does not necessarily do that.

The Voodoo was fast but also expensive, and you needed an additional VGA card. I think it was around USD 300 back then, that's more than USD 600 today and you'll still need another…

You are only thinking about people and creativity in the workplace. Creativity can be applied anywhere: cooking, a new route on your way to somewhere, read some random paragraphs i…

What you mention is true, but Lego sets are (almost always) very well designed, specially the ones for kids.

Lego is some kind of cultural icon now, and many people want to participate. That's why they have tons of sets aimed at adults over many themes, like plastic flowers, formula 1 hel…

It is a set for nostalgic adults. In fact, it is 50% larger so a grown up can hold it in their hands and feel it massive, like kids did in the 80s.

5yo sets have smaller pieces but also use big foundational pieces. Also the builds are simpler and better explained. Sets for 8yo are more complex.
