So you really should implement it in your compiler so you don’t contravene it

Game science was a company that made fair role playing game dice

Doesn’t mention that US peaking is almost entirely SpaceX

Don’t primordial black holes evaporate to Hawking radiation before stars could exist?

It’s just the way it was cut, in the context of the article “that’s for later” just means later in the article, cut from the article it looks like something you’re not going to cover

I’m not sure how you avoid it other than rewriting the lede to only talk about the main point.

I like that you do discuss the ethics in your article, shame you it came across as “not a problem now” in your post

Another is that once the context window resets, it often loses the information it was working from. If you want a long term maintainer for your code base, it’s better to train up junior engineers so that they one day would become experts on the code base that you or your business is reliant on. But the economy does not usually care about the distant future as much as the now.

I read a lot and own game science dice. Game science described the process in their marketing to explain how their dice were different

They often are polished the way rocks are, tumbled with abrasives, which randomly wears them down

Few expensive dice will be polished carefully

I trust internet dice rollers over commodity dice, d6 is pretty much the only one easy to get fair versions made for the gambling industry

People typically don’t use fair dice. There’s often a much higher than 1/20 chance of getting a particular result

Dice are polished to remove molding marks, which also rounds off edges and makes faces different sizes

One of the things I like from d&d 3.5 is the critical system, where an attacker who rolled a 20 makes a critical threat, but must roll again and hit to confirm the critical, so people with high AC don’t get hit critically every time they are hit

That argument is about whether any customer of a product can sue over a failure to follow a licence, whether the FSF can sue as a customer of Vizio’s or whether they have to be representing a rights holder for one of the licences that are being breached

It’s unusual for a third party to be able to sue, so it could go either way

Druid solution: wall of stone, shaped as a ramp to send the tram off the rails, onto its side, away from the staff and party and me

Or maybe if the tram is full of innocent people, a wall of stone as a ramp over the restrained party members

My 386 had turbo on practically all the time except when playing earlier era games where half speed made them playable

It really was an unturbo button

It’s not that internet explorer was good that made it successful, it was packaged with windows where Netscape wasn’t. People used the one that was already on their computer, then as they got market share they extended http to encourage sites to make stuff that wouldn’t work in Netscape, and couldn’t due to patents

By the time Microsoft was forced to unbundle IE and windows it was very hard for Netscape to get market share back

I’m sure that back in the day there were adults in charge of the big companies. I know that where I work management used to listen to tech areas for tech stuff. Now they just trust whatever the Microsoft agent tells them

DOS 5 docko was fine. I wonder* when they went wrong

*I don’t really

What was the website? I just had books in '95 and later, Geocities wasn’t great for chat, IRC and network news groups were the best places to get help

The web was pretty small in the '90s

I spent my time in newsgroups in role playing game flame wars

I find it amusing that you think Linux is weak against attack because of the recent LLM bug searches but each of those bugs will be fixed, making Linux even stronger against attack

No other operating system is under more examination, but I expect we’ll see Windows getting the same level of examination when the LLMs are able to examine the binaries

I expect Microsoft is using Copilot to examine their source code. I wonder if it’s as good at it’s job.

They are making the same mistake we used to make in Linux, they think that their system is more secure, when really it’s just a less attractive target.
