<p>You can tell the LLM to optimize the Django ORM. With ORMs, large structural changes are sometimes needed for small query text changes due to how ORMs generate the SQL.<p>I’m a SWE and at my previous job it fell to me to optimize some queries that used EF Core ORM. I gave opus a local db with a small export of anonymized prod data, had it generate a billion rows with similar cardinality.<p>Then I told opus how to get the raw SQL and told it to write unit tests with various optimizations.<p>It got the query down from 5+ minutes to a few seconds. I verified the final SQL and ORM structure.<p>All it needed was to modify some indices and fix up the ORM to properly generate the lateral join.<p>However, to get the join working properly required a full restructure of the ORM query.</p>

<p>Religion provides certain benefits in the military. If you are say a Christian, you get assigned time to go to a (hopefully) air conditioned church and relax and recover. Even if it’s short, it can be beneficial to collect yourself in a high stress situation like basic training/boot camp.<p>If you elect not to go to a religious service, you typically have to keep doing whatever you are doing. Atheists or other less organized religions should be treated equally under the law. If a Christian gets a 90 minute religious service, an atheist should also get 90 minutes to do whatever they want.<p>You also see this reflected with something like The Satanic Temple advocating for human rights under the guise of religion.<p>In my opinion, religious organizations should not have any more rights or privileges than businesses.</p>
