It prevents other sellers from competing with Amazon.

Having worked with rust in the past couple years, I can say that it hands down much better fit for LLMs than Python thanks to its explicitness and type information. This provides a lot of context for LLM to incrementally grow the codebase. You still have to watch it, of course. But the experience is very pleasant.

You’re right. What I like doing in those cases is to review very closely the tests and the assertions. Frequently it’s even faster than looking at the SUT itself.

I kinda want that what you’re describing… Sort’of the promise that Apple made with their AI and didn’t deliver. It would be amazing to have chat bot with full contextual awareness.

I feel that we’re reaching a limit to our context switching. Any further process improvements or optimizations will be bottlenecked on humans. And I don’t think AI will help here as jobs will account for that and we’ll have to do context switching on even broader and more complex scopes.

It’s fairly trivial to write a law that makes those illegal.

Don’t Apple and Google require their respective accounts for their platforms and hardware? How is this different?

New comment by notimetorelax in "Study: MRI contrast agent causes harmful metal buildup in some patients"

Maybe, but I was taking an immense amount of vitamin C as prescribed by the doc to bootstrap the healing process.

So this reveals to me two issues

1. In general side effects of the contrast agent are not communicated properly. If I knew, I might have asked - hey can you do the analysis without the agent?

2. There’s no recommendation to avoid vitamin C prior and right after the MRI, heightening the risk.

Nah, they used it on me when I cracked a toe. If I knew that this may be that dangerous I’d go the way without the contrast agent.

What’s the mechanism through which they print money? I.e. if everyone decided to redeem all coins that have dollar to give.

I generally agree with you, but! Video or audio calls between EU and the US still have a much higher chance of speaking up at the same time and it’s due to lag. If the latency is decreased by 33% it might be a game changer.

Older women may not produce that many eggs, if any at all. And each harvest costs multiple thousands, so it’s not all that clear cut.

No, not in this case. 250k is an expense for the company. Company had to amortize this expense over 5 or 15 years. (15 for software engineers outside of the US)

Those mega corps that you talk about use C++ too. It’s just a false dichotomy argument you’re making.

Looks great! For a long time I wished there was a historical analysis that would show quality of the management. Meaning, what initiatives did the management bet on in the past years and how well did it pan out? If a bet failed, was the management honest about it?
