Yes, they will call themselves the Borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I like the X220 but it runs hot

Do you mean like vaxxed vs unvaxxed?

It's never really necessary to write a multithreaded program. It's probably better to come up with a better architecture and communication method.

In a corporate environment, just use Java or C# or whatever. It's a corporate environment, probably not that interesting. C is not necessary.

I don't know, but when I use C, I like to statically allocate everything if at all possible, I don't free() anything, I let the OS clean everything up at exit(). A lot of the small Unix utilities don't necessarily need dynamic memory allocation IMO

Yes, I agree with you. I think this is WAY overrated. I also think this is as good as ChatGPT will get, a lot of people seem to think it will get better and better.

Also that $20 should be tax deductable

Perhaps you can have your students implement C-style for loops in Python?

My take is that this explains why Google code quality is so bad, along with their painfully bad build systems.

I would be happy if ChatGPT could implement a decent autocorrect.

I don't know, personally I don't find anything revolutionary about ChatGPT either. At best, it's a cute toy that appeals to the masses. I think it's like looking at a cloud, people see what they want to see

Indeed, chatbots in disguise

To save precious disk space

I thought Proctorio would be something related to proctology. Guess I was wrong.

If you like eating Big Macs, more power to you.

Personally, I doubt if there will ever be a computer generated song that I will really like. But I also generally don't like popular music either.

Edit: I'm an outlier though. For example, I don't have much respect for someone like Elton John because he doesn't write his own lyrics.

Do the brackets actually work or do you still have to get the indentation right?

All they had to do was give you your last paycheck, they would have saved 20k and gotten away with it

I don't understand, this gives C style for loops with C syntax?

I think it makes more sense to compile this emulator with Emscripten and run it in the browser.

Philosophically, there is no such thing as a random number

The Ukrainian government may be the most corrupt government in the world.

The Ukrainian nazis were far worse than the German nazis in WWII, and they were never held accountable for their actions.

Hunter Biden's laptop has been covered up.

I have no desire for WWIII, but it is clear that is where we are headed. NATO has no desire to seek a peaceful resolution. They want war. Ukrainians are consumed by their hatred of Russians, and most likely they will end up destroying themselves. Nothing the Ukrainians say has any basis in logic, they are consumed by hatred.

It is like that episode of Seinfeld, Newman and Kramer are playing Risk, and Newman says 'I am not defeated yet, I still have armies in the Ukraine'

At the Munich Security Conference, Kamala Harris said that Ukraine should join NATO. That violates the Budapest agreement.

A few days later, Putin invades Ukraine.

Back in 2014, after Yanukovich was overthrown, the US installed an unelected government in Ukraine, which immediately began attacking the Donbas region.

Yeah he's not really a businessman. Perhaps it would be better to describe him as an affiliate marketer.

Technically, lol is not a word, but an abbreviation for Laughed Out Loud, so "lol, no" would be 4 words, not 2.

Unless by lol, you meant "League of Legends", which would make "lol, fuck no" 5 words, not 3.

Do you believe that Pearl Harbor was an unprovoked attack?

I also don't agree with the digital native premise.

However I believe that those who grew up with or experienced the 8 bit home computer and it's evolution to what we have now, they have a much better understanding of how computers work.

This war/conflict actually began back in 2014, after Yanukovich was overthrown. The simple solution is to honor the Minsk Agreement and allow the Donbas to vote on whether or not they want to join Russia. Merkel has stated that there was never any intention to allow the Donbas to vote. The purpose was to buy time to build up Ukraine's army. So the negotiation was in bad faith.

It is false that this war would end tomorrow if Putin ordered his troops back into Russia. Again the simple solution is to honor the Minsk Agreement.

Because it makes it more official, that this war is not simply Ukraine vs Russia, but rather NATO vs Russia. NATO has been funding the war from the Ukrainian side.

Soon, it will expand to include China, because China cannot allow Russia to be defeated, because they would be next.

This actually means that there is absolutely zero chance for peace.

AI is only as good as the input data.

Garbage In = Garbage Out

The data is more important than the model, and more data is not better than good data.

Making it illegal will just push it underground, the end result being some kind of AI mafia.

I would have to disagree.

My opinion is the exact opposite of yours.
