Some of these fonts and transitions I like a lot, but sometimes it feels like there are a few too many fonts on screen.

There is a CORS preflight check for POST requests that don't use form-encoding. It would be somewhat surprising if these weren't using JSON (though it wouldn't be that surprising if they were parsing submitted JSON instead of actually checking the MIME-type which would probably be bad anwyay)

By what means did you make sure your LLM was not trained with data from the original source code?

I don’t think you have to go from here to planned economy straight away. There are capital gains taxes between the current level and 100% which might produce better outcomes.

You use clean room everywhere in the article and clear room in the title. Is this on purpose?

it wasn't ignored on HN, there were many articles correctly noting that building data centers in space is a stupid stupid idea because cooling things there is infeasible

Why would a random video from 6 years ago be played on a left-leaning media network? isn't this video from the channel of a left-leaning media network?
