Different design priorities - MS devs aim to make the OS a marketing tool for other products, which are continuously obsoleted to encourage repeated re-buying. Linux devs aim to make stuff work.

They could be trying to get rid of worms or some other parasites, since that’s the only prescribed use of ivermectin and mebendezol in humans. But it’s given in careful doses, not DIY from a bottle from a “wellness company”. So who knows what they’re trying to do.

Your personal fixation != insight.

No dude it’s about having the shits, not fucking racism.

Not until they become self-sustaining with their own food supply.

aka DeVito Syndrome

The irony of Japan - world’s finest toilets and no Mexican food.

Because joking about Mexican food causing the shits is a common practice, and so is trying to get cheap laughs in online forums.

Works better if you have crappy vision.

The name is “Doo-Moss”

Speaking of North Korea, Kim Jong Un so fat he’s nationwide.

Technically it only describes spherical bastards in a vacuum.

Went to a family-run Indian place in Cornwall looking for vindaloo, but the guy talked me down to a madras. Good thing cuz it was right on the edge of my tolerance level. I couldn’t have eaten their vindaloo.

Plot twist: that’s just where they grow their weed.

Ohhh, now I get it. They’re saying students are being taught that strangling is illegal, not that it’s illegal to teach them about strangling.

Oh I see. It’s fine if you cannot reproduce the program from memory after copying it once, because that’s not how software is written. The idea is to understand what the various statements are doing in the program - how to use loops, counters, variables, etc. and also howo to break a problem into little steps and procedures which you then turn into code. If I were you I would read a book or watch some videos about programming.

There are only a handful of basic concepts in programming: Variables, Functions or Procedures, Input & Output, Conditional branching, Looping and maybe a couple I’m forgetting. If you study what these are, what they are for and how they work, you will start to understand how to create your own program.

The question was about theoretical possibility - practical limitations of present-day tech are irrelevant. OP also didn’t put any constraints on how big, heavy or complex the robot would have to be, or if it has to be able to do anything else besides make more of itself. Even if the machinery it has to contain occupies a city block, that’s okay.

Yes, theoretically of course it is.

Hard to say without knowing more about the problem. I mean, what went wrong with the code you copied from the book. Could be a simple typo, and example code sometimes also has typos or is just wrong - surprisingly, authors sometimes confidently type in code exampoles without running them. Carefully comparing the code you entered with the code in the book might reveal the problem.

On the stock thing, maybe wait until after the AI bubble bursts and half them go bankrupt.
