Maybe it was initially supposed to be a sort of "3-value boolean" (true/false/undefined) and not a standard bool. You can (rarely) meet this pattern in c++ if you use boost::tribool or in c# if you have a nullable bool. There is probably similar thing in other languages.


It was definitely just bad code.


Even if the computational power evolve exponentially, we need to evaluate the utility of additional computations. And if the utility happens to increase logarithmically with computation spend, it's possible that in the end, we will observe just a linear increase in utility.


Regulated price in France:

- 0,1952 per kWh for uniform price.

- 0,1635 / 0,2081 for day/nigh pricing

- 0,1232 /... / 0,6468 for variable pricing

You have a very bad deal if you pay 0.97€ per kWh.


The other funny thing is the land border with Netherlands ... in the Caribbean.


It's pretty nice that EU agreements of free travel apply to it as well.


The company who operates the car is responsible for this. Broken systems is not a way to avoid lawsuit but a sure way to be convicted.


If system is broken, it is not working. If it is not working then it can't drive you around.


8 is probably Waymo's choice. It's not said anywhere that it's the permit limit.


> Have you ever stopped to consider why class mobility is much much less common in Europe than in the USA?

It's a common idea but each time you try to measure social mobility, you find a lot of European countries ahead of USA.

This one is intended.


> I would say for the last 6 months, 95% of the code for my chat app was AI generated

Why did you squash 6 months of work in two commits ?


It's actually more than 6 months. 6 months was when I developed enough to start chatting with AI to be really productive. Moving forward once the licence is in place and the files become unminifed you can track exactly what ai generated.


And absolutely no energy consumption when you don't change the image.


Move over, e-ink displays. A new king is in town.


This will be my new Kindle!

Only drawback is having to hire a C130 if I want to take it on a trip with me :')


It was directly inspired by e-ink, after all.
