Thank you for sharing the prompts. Amazing that it was sufficient for the agent to zero in on the bytes. Perhaps it was aware of some prior work done by someone in such context. It's quite possible that the actual code for that behavior could be in some library not the main binary. Yet the agent located it to the binary.

That's quite remarkable. How detailed was your prompting to specify the incorrect and desired behavior?

On the subject of bike lights. Most of the current lights appear to use some LEDs which makes sense, of course. However the brightness of output light looks like completely unregulated.
On so many occasions I would get blinded by overly bright lights of an incoming cyclist during late evening ride.

That's very uncharacteristic, especially given all those contingency requirements (backup policies, failovers, testing schedules etc.) imposed on corporations/companies in the wake of 9/11.

It seems that approach is a way to generate losses without actually losing the titles. These losses are needed to offset incomes elsewhere thus not paying taxes on profits.
Investment fund's commodity is value - the rest are just tools to optimize the value.

WSL was a subsystem to run Linux under Windows 10 without an explicit VM host. It was an Ubuntu Linux version. Later MS released WSL2, complete redesign, still for Windows 10.
With Windows 11 the WSL2 also supported GUI programs.

There's hardly a standard for a 'quality' contribution to discussion. Many styles, many opinions, many ways to react and support one's statements.
If anything, it had been quite customary to supply references for some important facts. Thus letting readers to explore further and interpret the facts.
With AI in the mix the references become even more important, in the view of hallucinations and fact poisoning.
Otherwise, it's a forum. Voting, flagging, ignoring are the usual tools.

"...C is my favorite language and I love the freedom and exploration it allows me. I also love that it is so close to Assembly and I love writing assembly for much of the same reasons!"
I wonder what is author's view about user's reasons to choose a C API?
What I mean is users may want exactly the same freedom and immediacy of C that the author embraces. However, the very approach to encapsulation by hiding the layout of the memory, the use of accessor functions limits the user's freedom and robs them of performance too.
In my view, the choice of using C in projects comes with certain responsibilities and expectations from the user. Thus higher degree of trust to the API user is due.

I'd count also those memorable school talent shows/performances and events. Another reach out avenue is volunteering, these have a higher chance to match parents with similar availability at least.

> ...why is that it's called "routine”
Well, apparently [0], in a 1947 document "Planning and Coding Problems for an Electronic Computing Instrument, Part 1" by H. Goldstine and J. von Neumann it is stated:
"We call the coded sequence of a problem a routine"

> ... Why do we "call" functions?
I always thought that the functions did not need a call keyword, as they normally would return a value, so that functions would appear in an assignment. So one just uses the function.
What needed a CALL was a subroutine, which effectively was a named address/label.
Indeed it would be just as possible to GOTO the address/label and then GOTO back. CALL keyword made the whole transaction more comprehensive.
So in a sense it was similar to calling up someplace using the address number. Often times this would change some shared state so that the caller would then proceed after the call. Think of it as if a 'boss' first calls Sam to calculate the figures, then calls Bill to nicely print the TPS report.
Eventually everything became a function and subroutines were associated with spaghetti...
Now, why is that it's called routine (aka program) and subroutine?

I thought a prime time for contacting the parents is right after school when picking up the kid. Everyone is there waiting, so it's just natural to chit chat, esp when the kids are friends.

Does HFSS visualize the field in real-time or a user needs to set the geometry/parameters then precalculate the field and only then be able to explore the visualization?
Say, if I wanted to see immediate effects of changing an incidence angle, could I just "scroll" the incidence parameter?

What are the battery requirements for such feed combo (RC + FPV + servo)? From experience, how does this translate to play time?

Maybe it's just me, but the font appears too small for my eyes on this smartphone's 6" screen (Firefox).
I like the idea. Happy New Year!
