That's right. Is this advisory new or hasn't been updated since 2010?

New York City Comptrollers published similar concerns [1]. I suppose you could apply your point equally to NYC these days :-)

There's something wrong with the cartesian equation for scarabaeus [1].

I think it should be:

(x^2+y^2) * (x^2+y^2+bx)^2 - a^2 (x^2-y^2)^2 = 0

Also the plot images seem inverted (reflected) along y axis. See plot of the above function in desmos [2].

I am not a lawyer. But I think cases need to work their way up to SC. Before today's ruling a Federal Trade Court ruled the tariffs illegal [1]. And later, a Federal Appeals Court did the same [2]

The process takes time.

A few more:

Jeff Dean doesn't use a compiler; he just glares at his source code until it executes.

Jeff Dean once optimized a sleep(10) call to return in 5 seconds.

Jeff Dean’s keyboard doesn’t have a Backspace key; he simply doesn't make mistakes.

/end. There's no need to get up. I will see myself out.

I just wanted to point out that Boom Aerospace is now mainly focused on delivering a Gas Turbine for power generation [1].

In an interview with CNBC Mr. Scholl talked about this pivot [2].

I apologize if this is common knowledge. Modern C++ coding agents need to have a deep semantic understanding of the external libraries and header files. A simple RAG on the code base is not enough. For example, GitHub Copilot for VS Code and Visual Studio uses IDE language services like IntelliSense. To that extent, using a proper C++ IDE rather than a plain editor will improve the quality of suggested code. For example, if you're using VS Code, make sure the C/C++ Extension Pack is installed.

What is the halation like artifact around the edges called? This makes the picture so unappealing to me. I'm so glad the modern digital cameras don't have this problem. I hope I'm explaining the issue well. I wish I could post a frame grab here.

As the article states, generating the key itself is easy. But getting credit and billing are the issues.

>As for Copilot? I don't know anyone who uses it. Do you?

This sloppy journalism. One should probably read the original report in The Information [1].

Bloomberg has updated its story today with a note from Jeffries [2]. "The analysts also said their checks showed robust adoption of Microsoft’s Copilot line of AI assistants"
