Readit NewsI don't understand why there are such extreme export controls wrt China. Isn't a more technologically capable China better for everyone because it increases the supply of high-quality parts? Is it just revenge for Chinese nationals stealing IP ?
The US's upper class is afraid of China taking over as the biggest economy in the world.

That sentiment is just so unnecessary but oh well Rust is literally their brain child so.

Honestly it's becoming impossible to find information on the web.
A friend of mine wanted to find some lyrics and the lack of proper verbatim mode has made it impossible to know if he had the wrong lyrics or if the information is not there or if the search itself is failing.
If there are no matches whatsoever then tell me there's no matches. If there's partial matches tell me how close it is to my search terms. Like you might match all but one or two words and so on. These are the kind of useful features I'd expect on search.
The usefulness of AI, on my mind, might be more towards interpretation of the questions rather than generation of the answers.
If I were Google I'd try something like using genAI to rephrase the question to extract keywords and so on that can be used to enhance search. But then again, I think I put myself in a position of "how do we make search better and more accurate" and that's simply not the position Google finds themselves in.
Your friend can still enclose the phrases of the lyrics with double quotes to force an exact match on each of them.

C has scopes. Add destructors. That's pretty much all you need to get most of the benefits of RAII.
You can add `defer` instead, but regardless, this has nothing to do with C++. You can implement safety features without having to copy the arguably worst language in the world, C++. I like C++, I wrote many larger projects in it, but it sucks to the very core. Just add RAII to C.
Did you even read the article? The part where it talks about problems with destructors is about halfway through.
Two random thoughts from visiting vietnam and talking with people
* in large parts of the country, there is just sun at least half of the year, yet solar power is basically non-existent, basically all (edit: not all, but most) is coal. if renewables are so great, why are there no solar panels anywhere, in a country that is all sun? I saw some wind turbines in the central mountains at least
* a lot of electricity is used on ACs, every house has at least one AC - how did people live before ACs were invented? can't imagine
There used to be a solar program in Vietnam, which made everyone jump onto the bandwagon. Lack of infrastructure planning, however, meant all of that solar energy could overpower the grid, and so the program has been stopped. To date, one can install their own solar system, but the electricity would be bought by the government at a price of zero, and they cannot sell it to anyone else.

In the algorithm depicted in the paper, if no elements manage to be eliminated from the set, why not just retry rather than return ⊥?
Is this an LLM prompt?
