Would the authors not have been better off adding their performance improvements to pip rather than creating their own tool? I remember this being a complaint from Node maintainers when Bun was released: they had multiple open performance-r

Last year I caught COVID twice. Both times I felt sick, I tested myself daily, and I was negative every time I swabbed my nostrils and nasopharynx. Both times, I started swabbing any yellow mucus that I expelled, and received the positive r

Is there any difference between a human watching 1000 videos on a topic and producing content based on that information, and a machine learning model? If it only creates original work, what does it matter?
