Wouldn’t that potentially violate the Prime Directive? You could accidentally create AGI by exceeding the critical mass of slop.

At least after hackers hack the radio station to play some nice music. Wouldn’t that be a cool idea? The hackable radio station where you get your songs played if you manage to hack it.

With bots that break through cloudflare captchas. As a human, I immediately close the browser tab when I see one. If you make your site inaccessible for humans, only the bots remain.

It is well known that humans often fail at thinking. Using that as proof that machines can think only proofs that you’re human.

This is another great enhancement that makes me look forward to C++26.

Given the long history of even the most egregious data breaches with millions of affected people never having the slightest consequences, what level of care are you expecting here?

Technically it works but having to read stuff this way is an unpleasant experience.

I wonder how often Trump would have to die for his acts of high treason and making the USG lose face over and over again.

Sure, let your kids buy alcohol, cocaine and heroin in every shop there is. Then see how much it helps that you ban those at home.

You’d have to ask the agent, but it looks like they didn’t prompt for that.

Especially for developers of server, desktop, or web software. Experience in those fields will be more a hindrance than an advantage if you want to enter embedded development. Embedded is a whole different beast and you’d have to unlearn a lot of bad habits and expectations that your former field instilled in you. No hiring manager will give you the time for that.

Isn’t it heartwarming to see Trump lend a hand to uplift his fellow criminals and get the message out that crime pays?
