What about realtime+mobile chat ? Mastodon and RCS are lightyears from consolidating X/whatsapp/messenger/telegram/signal/discord/slack/teams/etc. Email+notifications is a joke, lacking groups feature

Lol but actually this is a good way to escalate priority. Better yet, point it at various Microsoft sites that aren't provisioned to handle the traffic and let them internally escalate.

My thought exactly. But that's C++, a bolted-on mess of crap whose redeeming features are (a) roughly the same execution performance as C and assembly, and (b) it's safer and higher productivity than C or assembly. At this point,

Sorry for the naive question: do you guys have software to help communicate your schedule with others? I imagine an app which populates Calendly or Google calendar (booking appointments) with times when you're asleep.

You guys are picking on the problem statement. Here's a revised prompt, which also skips the silliness of single threading: Write __fully parallelized__ Python code to solve this problem: __Generate__ 1 million random integers bet

Non-zero failure rate is indeed often optimal because it provides valuable feedback toward finding the optimal horizon for various metrics, e.g. speed, quality, LPU[1], etc. That said, given the labor involved in academic publishing and rev

No disagreement, but we don't have a choice. Even if every westerner agrees to deprive ourselves of modernity, the rest of the world will not oblige, and they have >5x the population, all demanding smartphones, TVs, meat, AI, fast f

You can test clothing for flammability, then again if the design materially changes. Food doesn't work this way - each jar has a low chance of contamination, so spot testing won't catch the problem. Small changes in manufacturing
