To be fair, the dramatic nosedive in quality of GoT happened when they ran out of source material and had to wing it.

3-body problem is a finished trilogy, so it could all have the quality of the first seasons of GoT.

A dozen cosmere novels is what, four years of writing for him?

The last three third party candidates who won more than one state were Strom Thurmond, George Wallace and Theodore Roosevelt.

The first two won the south on account of regional anger at the civil rights movement.

Roosevelt split the vote. 50.6% of the country voted for the Republican candidate or a former Republican, but the Democrat won a landslide with only 41% of the popular vote and 81% of the electoral college vote.

The closest a third party candidate has ever come to winning is Breckenridge, who got 18% of the popular vote and 23.8% of the EC vote running as a Southern Democrat because the south didn't like Stephen Douglas (who got 29.5% of the popular vote but only won a single state).

Voting third party basically doesn't work. Any time its been significant, it's just caused a spoiler effect.

Yeah. Power plants are nowhere near 90% efficient.

It's worth emphasizing, though, that they're still way, way more efficient than car engines are.

Also, regenerative breaking saves a lot of energy. Basically, instead of using the motor to increase the cars speed, you use it as a generator to recharge the battery.

Essentially.

Medical ethics prevent actual medical professionals from participating in executions. So they make random prison employees do it. So it's often botched.

She was kicked out due to complaints about her vaping and being loud.

Everything else came out afterwards when they double checked the tapes.

She's a 37 year old divorced grandmother.

You're essentially correct, there, but slightly off on a couple details. About a month before her divorce finalized, she was kicked out of a musical for vaping and being rowdy with her new boyfriend.

And memory bugs are only a subset of bugs that can be exploited in a program. Pretending Rust means no more exploitation is stupid.

This is facile.

According to Microsoft, about 70% of security bugs they see are memory safety issues.

Yes: if you introduce memory safety, there's still those 30% of security bugs left. But, well, I'd rather worry about 30% of issues than 100%...

Similarly, I use libraries that eliminate SQL injections unless you really go out of your way.

So you have $35,000 left to account for.

How much did you buy your car for, and how much can you sell it for after a decade? Depreciation is one of the larger costs of car ownership. Assuming you financed it, there's also the cost of interest on the loan.

Also registration and other state fees.

Although it's been used for a fairly wide array of algorithms for decades. Everything from alpha-beta tree search to k-nearest-neighbors to decision forests to neural nets are considered AI.

Edit: The paper is called

Avoiding fusion plasma tearing instability with deep reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning and deep neural nets are buzzwordy these days, but neural nets have been an AI thing for decades and decades.

So everyone who retires transitions from the working class to the owner class?

I'm not sure it's that useful to say that a 70 year old retired engineer is owner class because they're living off of the stock market returns of their 401k.

Crosswords have clues going across and down.

The words just use common letters so they're things puzzle creators wish were real words. They're not currently words.
