Because it's valuable. I'd be surprised if the big providers didn't go even further with this idea. Need your agent to write some C++? Gotta upgrade to the "system developer" package (a $100/mo add-on to your subscription). SQL? You'll need the DBA package. Working with hardware/firmware (or anything that might be construed as reverse engineering or hardware hacking)? You'll need a verified computer engineering account for that.

Wand blender don't make things hot enough to cook, so OP is indeed using raw eggs in their ice cream. Which is probably fine, it just means their ice cream isn't using a cooked custard base.

Some markdown flavors say they use `\(\)` but they also use `\` as the escape character, so in practice you have to use `\\(\\)` which is definitely the worst.

> UB was coined only in the first C standard, in 1989. Prior to that there was no "If you do this, anything can happen".

I.e., the context is, before UB existed as a concept, how would these things be categorized. And I was trying to offer the correction that, before UB existed, it wasn't "all behavior is defined" but rather many behaviors depend on your particular local environment. While that may technically be implementation defined, the current standard requires that implementation defined be documented, and UB-like edge cases were most definitely not documented anywhere consistently in the old days!

If my LLM goes down, I have nothing. I guess I could imagine prompts that might get it to do what I want, but there's no guarantee that those would work once it's available again. No amount of thought on my part will get me any closer to the solution, if I'm relying on the LLM as my "compiler".

While thinking about/working with LLMs, I've been reminded more than once of Asimov's short story Profession (http://employees.oneonta.edu/blechmjb/JBpages/m360/Professio...). In it, no one goes to school: information is just dumped into your brain. You get an initial dump of the basics when you're a kid, and then later all the specialty information for your career (which is chosen for you, based on what your brain layout is most suited to).

The protagonist is one of a number of people who can't get the second dump; his brain just isn't wired right, so he's sent to a Home for the Feeble Minded to be with other people who have to learn the old-fashioned way.

Through various adventures he eventually realizes that everyone who was "taped" is incapable of learning new material at all. His Home for the Feeble Minded is in fact an Institute of Higher Studies, one of only a handful, which are responsible for all the invention and creation that sustains human progress.

For me, --- gets converted to an em-dash (—) while typing, if I have my input method (ELatin) enabled. I'm so used to typing in while working in LaTeX I can easily slip it in elsewhere.
