There's a big gap between "national firewalls shouldn't exist" and "country should invade/"liberate" another country to prevent national firewall (or insert other disliked policy)".

So to respond directly:

> Why should anybody trust them with another country?

They should not and should not need to trust them with another country

> would it be okay for china to liberate the USA

no, it wouldn't. But if China felt that the USA gov't was like, not cool, they could impose sanctions or not trade with USA.


The Austin train you are talking about is heavy rail. Not to be confused with Austin light rail which is Coming Soon (TM).

It's still more reliable than the busses. I think it's pretty fun.


I'm not sure how you'd measure the effectiveness of light rail/trams vs buses - a hybrid of average journey duration, number of passengers, and I suppose some ROI type metric?

Either way personally priority bus lanes feel significantly more flexible and cheaper to implement than LR/trams...but that's just a personal opinion.


But time I spend asking is time I could have been writing exactly what I wanted in the first place, if I already did the planning to understand what I wanted. Once I know what I want, it doesn't take that long, usually.

Which is why it's so great for prototyping, because it can create something during the planning, when you haven't planned out quite what you want yet.


This is correct - it does get easy to read but you are constantly considering the above semantics, often needing to check reference or compiler explorer to confirm.

Unless you are many of my coworkers, then you blissfully never think about those things, and have Cursor reply for you when asked about them (-:

Savecumming?


Slang term for frequently reloading game state from recent save when a non-ideal outcome occurs. E.g. this method can be used to collect rare outcomes from a RNG-based game event.


Wait until these people find out what “scum” (as in scumbag) is a slang term for


Somewhere deep in the legalese Alice agreed she would not do that, i.e. "non transferable license".


Isn't that the part that would violate the first sale doctrine?


I think the usual argument is that you don't own the digital good, you have a license to use it, and that license is between you and the originator (or their reseller) directly. And you aren't allowed to resell the license.

E.g. this sort of thing https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/steam-che...


No, not if the same itself was unlawful because Alice signed a contract to not sell it like that.

The GPL notably allows for the sale, it was legal here.


> No, not if the same itself was unlawful because Alice signed a contract to not sell it like that.

It's the contract that's the violation, isn't it? What would the first sale doctrine be if in order to get a copy you could be required to sign a contract not to exercise your rights under it? For that matter, how could state-level contract law override the federal first sale doctrine?

The "derivative work" hack also seems kind of fragile. The normal way to get someone to agree to something is that they need a right from the license, which they then don't get if they don't agree to it. But if it doesn't give them anything that they need then "there are ways to use the copy they own and have a right to use without agreeing to any additional terms" is more like the default you're trying to hack your way out of than something they're exploiting a loophole to get into, and where does that leave you if anything slips?

Suppose Alice is a three year old. She owns the copy, she presses the button and now she has a running copy even though she's not competent to enter into a contract, and then Bob buys it from her. Or Alice owns the copy and Carol presses the button, and then maybe Carol could be sued, but also maybe Carol lives in another country, and either way Alice now owns a running copy she never agreed not to sell. And then you want to be able to say "but that's cheating" except that it's not any less cheating than what you were doing to try to get them to agree to it.


It's definitely AI dude


Have you ever tested your accuracy? I think there are tests out there.


There were even M.2 PCIe-connected AHCI drives - both not-SATA and not-NVMe. Samsung SM951 was one. You can find them on ebay but not otherwise.


At least the Samsung and SanDisk PCIe AHCI M.2 drives were only for PC OEMs and were not officially sold as retail products. There were gray-market resellers, but overall it was a niche and short-lived format. Especially because any system that shipped with a PCIe M.2 slot could gain NVMe capability if the OEM deigned to release an appropriate UEFI firmware update.


Wow I really thought this would be a compile error. The implicit cast here really is a footgun. Looks like '-Wrange-loop-construct' (included in -Wall) does catch it:

> warning: loop variable 'v' of type 'const std::pair<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char>, int>&' binds to a temporary constructed from type 'std::pair<const std::__cxx11::basic_string<char>, int>' [-Wrange-loop-construct] 11 | for (const std::pair<std::string, int>& v: m) {

As they say, the power of names...


Lots of things - typical llm em-dash situations although using dash. Lists of 3s after a colon where the 3 items aren't great. Short sentences for "impact" that sounds kind of like a high school essay i.e. "God level engineer...Zero ego."

I cannot at all understand writing an essay and then having an llm "tighten up the sentences" which instead just makes it sound like slop generated from a list of bullets
