If an AI can be trained on the internet, it can be trained on a textbook or lecture notes. I think it’s shortsighted to insist that AI won’t replace experts based on the training sets that AIs are currently being trained on.

Wow, I made an account to download the BoM and that coffee table’s total price of materials is $1108 and the end table is $1378. I was expecting less than half that.

My main hesitation is that I like being able to drop my vimrc anywhere and have an (almost) identical editor experience, rather than having to maintain one config for vim and one for neovim. Been meaning to try neovim out though!
