Try some of the steps on this page [1]. In particular, enabling real-time protection stats and then adding exclusions for the processes causing the most file scans can help.

Unfortunately, the AMA is a cartel of doctors that lobbies to put limits on government-funded residency slots to keep salaries high. [1]

I got some using Orion on iOS yesterday. Same engine as every other iOS browser, so I guess it's sending a user agent GH doesn't like?

Do any IDEs expose their features (like refactoring) as tools the AI can use? Would much prefer that over the LLM trying to figure it out.

> The person who made millions from making a sugary drink and marketed it as something healthy is not necessarily pretty smart and more than likely isn't someone you want in charge of anything.

Quite literally in the case of former Apple CEO John Sculley.

EF6 works fine on .NET Core. EF Core does not work on .NET Framework.

Great book. Some other historical fiction recommendations:

- The "Welsh Princes" series by Sharon Kay Penman (same era, different perspective)

- Doomsday Book by Connie Willis (Black Death)

- The "Grail Quest" series by Richard Cornwell (Hundred Years War)

- The "Last Kingdom" series, also by Cornwell (Viking invasion, Alfred the Great)

You can set a relationship type in her contact card. I think Siri uses that data.

Sprawling low density cities consume resources too. Mass transit is less effective, so more people must buy and drive cars. Roads and highways are wider and more extensive. Cars need storage at the origin and destination of every trip, so homes need driveways or garages and businesses need parking lots. Other infrastructure must expand too: power lines, water/sewer pipes, communication wires, and so on.

One million people would need about the same amount of food/energy if they lived in 1,000 sq. mi. as they would if they lived in 100 sq. mi. But the cost per person to house and transport people in a dense city is lower than in a sprawling one.

Heating cold areas takes a lot of power too, and often it can't be made "green" as easily as electric AC. Also, AZ and most of the mountain west use the vast majority of their water for agriculture that would not be financially sustainable without water made artificially cheap by government subsidies in the form of overbuilt dams/reservoirs. (AZ infamously gave a sweetheart water deal to a company that grew alfalfa exported to Saudi Arabia.)
