   I imagine your first example includes private industry information that you are not allowed to divulge. But your latter example about syntax… mind sharing that ChatGPT conversation?

   I think that is the common belief now. QE failed and we are now reaping what we sowed.

   OP is misguided. The social crisis is the inflation that followed far too much quantitative easing and then government spending. It's unfortunate the fed's tools are so blunt, but their approach to tackling the inflation inevitabl

   Copilot also describes the function for you. It can code-complete a block of comments which describes the next many lines of code, and then also code-complete the lines of code for you. It makes mistakes tho. For example, if you have two

   Copilot seems pretty magical to me so far. It seems to be aware of not only the AST but also the types, so if you design your types well it can often get things correct.

   If it's on your skin, what's the advantage of using this over, say, 50% isopropyl alcohol?

   MedPageToday just looked up any product with B. subtilis in it. There is no reason to believe that the study used this brand, or that this product contains the strain under study.

   This is why all of these media outlets use words like "as" and "after", and never "because of". They do all the "post hoc" lifting and assume that the reader will automatically add the "ergo prop

    Yes. Bayshore and La Honda, etc. The cycling in nature is gorgeous. But the cities themselves aren't very bike friendly.

    You are using backwards-looking inflation figures and comparing against forward yields. If you believe that the Feb 2024 price level will be 6.5% inflated compared to Feb 2023, then please go ahead and take that 4.5% loan. The rest of the m

    I believe what you're describing is an anomaly from a decade+ of negative real interest rates due to quantitative easing. Getting rich while failing upwards in the future will be an exceptional rarity.

    I don't think it's just a Samsung problem. I have an non-Samsung Android TV and it becomes intermittently non-responsive, apps sometimes crash, sometimes commands are queued up and then after a pause all happen in rapid succession

    100% agree. I was a big believer in the usefulness of crypto before all the "HODL" and "investment" mentality took over. Its value as a currency is eroded with the dramatic price fluctuations.

    This sounds like pretty much how we use our credit card's extended warranty on purchases, except we do it via the bank's website (Chase or Amex, our credit card issuer), instead of the retailer. A couple clicks, and done.

    Those record profits are past looking and don't predict how future years will play out. Many tech companies over-hired and need to trim. For comparison, Google just announced layoffs of 12k today. By Sept 2022, Google had 187k employee
