I've found the Cursor Agent to work great when you give it a narrow scope and plenty of examples.

Not from the UK and not a lawyer, but if a new warrant was served, then not providing the password would be a new offense and double jeopardy would not apply

I imagine that in the US, the actual prosecution is handled by US Attorneys though (the DOJ), and not the Post Office

ChatGPT seems to handle this fine

> Prompt: Give me the lyrics for Heigh Ho from the Cinderella Soundtrack

> ChatGPT: "Heigh-Ho" is actually a song from the soundtrack of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," not "Cinderella." The song is famously sung by the seven dwarfs as they head to and from their work at a mine. Here are the lyrics:

*lyrics omitted, but they seem correct

That's literally deflation.

Google domains was baked into GCP and had "enterprise" users.

A service having a paid version doesn't mean anything.

Technically, the infra comes from Rust macros, not comments.

Being able to CMD+c to copy things in a terminal is one of my favorite things about programming on a Mac. Ctrl+c to copy everywhere, except the terminal (there it instead is an interrupt) is a major annoyance working in Linux
