Readit Newsright, it's a typo, it doesn't matter, and there was already a reply 4 hours before yours that said as much, so i'm not sure what you were aiming to contribute with the reply that doesn't acknowledge that it is a typo

I think they understand perfectly, and the capsule splashed down "off the coast" of "state of Mexico".
No different from saying "The capsule splashed down off the coast of British Colombia" or "The capsule splashed down off the coast of Queensland".
They know perfectly well what Baja California is and where it is.
except for the comma in the middle of the name, which was ytdytvhxgydvhh's point:
"The capsule splashed down off the coast of British, Colombia"
Yes
> If so what mechanism is actually holding the wire securely around those metal posts(terminals?)
The wire is wrapped around the posts several times, with no other mechanism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap has a good close up picture of one connection and a description of the details (including some info on how this forms a reliable connection)
I think the college board threw out the actual computer science part (i.e. everything except java details) years ago.
Ask ChatGPT to solve unsolved mathematical and computer science problems or any basic international mathematical olympiad (IMO) questions and it falls before the starting line and will give incoherent answers.
Even if it moves an inch past the line, it cannot transparently explain as to how it got there in the first place.
most software engineers today are employed to solve unsolved mathematical and computer science problems or IMO-style problems.
On the other hand, if ChatGPT provides a competitive edge in CodeForce problems then it would be worrying indeed.
In several previous years I have rescheduled things so I can stay up until the problems are released in my time zone to see how high on the leaderboard I could get.
It is sad that the AoC leaderboard will now just be filled with GPT entries.
The “California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education”? This is indistinguishable from parody.
Do you feel the same way about the bureau of consumer protection in the US FTC?
Become a different person.
Take your life and incinerate it. Not literally of course.
I mean completely change what and who you are.
You’re an accomplished software engineer at 30? Great. You’re done doing that.
Go buy a $15k trailer, get a truck, and hit the road. Stop looking at screens, only read books. Stop working a job behind a desk, find something else, or if you can afford it don’t work at all.

Pick up a guitar, learn to farm, meet some nomads. Do it all in another country. Break the law. Do whatever you feel like. Don’t hurt people, obviously, but you’re probably a sane enough person to not want to anyway. Learn a new language. Stop speaking your old one. I mean, really, and truly, break out of the matrix. Go to the edges of your universe, like the “Thirteenth Floor”. Get fit, dissolve your old identity. Become awesome at yoga, or weightlifting, or Jiu Jitsu.
You really can choose to become unstuck. Fly to Europe, buy a bike and a tent, and just go, man. Figure it out later. What’s there to be afraid of, really?
Incinerating your life, trying all these new things, only to find that the emptiness returns shortly, and now it is no longer paired with a dependable income.
"This conjecture says that 47,176,870 is the maximum number of steps that a 5-state Turing machine can run before halting (starting from all-0 memory tape)."
So, we can run up to this number and either the machine will stop - and we'll go to the next one until exhaust the whole set - or the machine won't stop, and we'll refute the conjecture.
No, you do not refute the conjecture if you run up to this number and a machine does not stop. Finding a machine that runs for more than 47,176,870 steps is easy - there are plenty of machines that run forever. The trick is that it needs to stop.
