I'm very confident our species will last longer than the next 1000 years. Our current civilisation, though, now that's a completely different story.

It's much much more complex than that. Climate is only one factor and by far not the most important one. Prosperity and structure of the city plays a much more important role. Sing…

It does, though. UB and associated optimisations wouldn't be an issue if defined behaviour would not have an impact on performance. If the cost would be zero or negligible, the com…

Interestingly enough, the act of writing notes is evidentially a very effective learning method.

First of all you don't need it. Secondly, the regulation even states that the right is granted automatically anyway. Technically, the rule had been in place for the past 45+ years …

And this regulation violates this how exactly?

That applies to XML, AsciiDoc, LaTex, ReStructuredText, and all the others as well. Apparent simplicity seems to be the most appealing factor, IMHO.

But there are libraries that do that, e.g. https://avaloniaui.net

This doesn't necessarily relate to the inference itself. No models are exposed to input directly when using web-based APIs, there's pre-processing layers involved that do undocumen…

This is an interesting observation. So maybe it has nothing to do with the model itself, but everything to do with external configuration. Token-limit exceeded -> empty output. Jus…

Bots all the way down...

Same issue on Windows - doesn't seem to be OS-related, but a general problem. The sliders and the zoom are basically unusable.

No need. Wrong type of solar event. You might be able to see auroras, though. I saw some a couple of hours ago.
