In Zig? It would allocate stack space for a new variable a, and add b and the d field of c together and insert that value into the memory location that a reserved. In D or Python or anything that allows for properties, it would be allocating a where-ever the language allocates stuff, then calling an infix function '+' which could be anything depending on the language including starting up a JVM in the background for god knows what reason, and calls it with the arguments b and the result of calling the property function d of the object c.

> I’m curious what a non-animal heart rate looks like.

Most sources consider animals as separate from humans, so non-animal would mean human. In general poor treatment of animals is considered a lesser offense than one commited against a human, as an illustration of the separation of categories.

> How much Tylenol would a person have to consume over a two month period to permanently damage their liver

Liver damage can occur after a single incident. People have died from single time overdoses of paracetamol. There is a quick fix in an ER of giving NAC which can help eliminate most of the damage, but there is a small window(a day or two) where it is effective.

I very likely didn't, could you try explaining it in a way less subject to poor interpretation? I think, at least judging by a sibling comment, people are not understanding what you are meaning to say. English is not my first language, so I apologize for any confusion.

One thing I have always thought is odd, is that a multinational company that has ~billions of users would have a single UI. At Google or Facebook scale, it would seems like having a more localized UI per region would make more sense. It isn't like they don't have the money to do this, and most of the service is behind an API/server-side, so having a different front-end better localized to, say, Arabic users, doesn't seem like it would place an undue burden on them.

Thank you for this, I was wondering that as well. I thought it was a bit interesting that one of the metrics was "expected Conversation-turns Per Session". I would think most of the success in the chat bot comes from a proper metric for the goodness of a chat. It seems like this was the first paper where that measure was used, does anyone know more about this?

That seems like a weird dichotomy, Call of Duty is likely more fun in a going on an adventure way, where as chatting with an AI seems more like the old livejournal/90's blogging community(venting to someone about your feelings).

So you believe that modern men would prefer an AI girlfriend because modern women are unlikely to want to be a subservient best friend/are overweight?

I don't know that I would believe that to be true, especially in modern China where most women are of average/slightly under weight. Also we don't see much of a similar trend of women being drawn as much to some AI boyfriend.

> How many Buddhists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Zero, change is in the nature of all things. It is natural that the light bulb itself will change.

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

This was a good read about explaining debugging to a sibling who isn't a programmer. I loved the illustrations and the way the author explained things.

This is actually about high level languages like C, from the abstract:

>Note that, by this definition, assembly languages occupy a position intermediate between machine languages and compiled languages.

And:

> Thus, I take the point at issue to be: “To what extent is it desirable for the system programmer to specify machine details?”

Basically this is an article about the importance of machine independent languages, and not about using Python for your userland or something similar.
