The fundamentals in the recording space don't have much to do with DAWs at all; they go all the way back to analog recording on tapes etc. That's why many DAWs have skeuomorphic details - like the "seven-segment displays&quot

Palihapitiya, the king of SPACs, developed six SPACs, five of which merged into new stocks that each lost at least 70% of their value. He reportedly made $750m from selling his shares Sounds like they "worked&quo

Github (and I'm sure plenty of other tools) already do this with deterministic code. Why on Earth would you want to replace that with an LLM that might hallucinate?

And here I am, a simple fool, who thinks that the thing that's going to "destroy jobs" is the people choosing to replace humans with robots. But nah, let's blame the people sharing information instead :eyeroll:

If the new codons are "functionally equivalent", why would they affect viral transmission? If they're functionally-different enough to block virus transmission, what would ensure they're still compatible with normal cell

I'd recommend you use a stack that has pieces you know already. The problem you've described is solvable with all sorts of tools, so the "fastest" path to something that delivers useful functionality isn't language-

In a crowded market, you need to understand what makes your product different and the best choice for the customers you're targeting. Just "it's cheaper" isn't much of a place to start from.

Or you could just, y'know, NOT make the world a worse place for no reason. Be aware that beyond being spammy garbage behavior, this kind of thing is also literally illegal in some regions since paid advertising needs to be disclosed.

Vacuum is LITERALLY NOTHING. It doesn't have "power". The Magdeburg hemispheres are held together by the weight of the atmosphere pressing inward. That is ultimately about gravity.

The point isn't to make the email unreadable - after all, LLMs or not a sufficiently-determined spammer could just pay humans to read the emails - but to make it more complicated and expensive to extract.
