Does anyone know who the authors of the study are and what the data basis was (how many people were interviewed, age brackets, etc.)?

Good point. Maybe there'll be companies that maintain your on-premise GPU cluster just like there are companies that service the coffee machine in your office?

What toothbrush do you have? I've been looking for a USB-C charger for mine (standard Oral-B toothbrush) but the only ones I've found were from no-name Chinese brands and didn't work at all.

That's all good and well but the UX sucks. I usually have dozens of commands like git commit -m "PROJECT-XXXX Foo the bar to baz the qux" in my shell history, which means 1) I can easily create follow-up commits under

Do we know what the situation looks like with other popular indices such as MSCI World, MSCI ACWI, MSCI ACWI IMI, FTSE All-World, …? Do they have any requirement of 12 months of trading or of profitability or similar?

Right but how would you even display a vertical menu back then? `float: left` was rather bad, so you went back to using tables[0]. Good luck making these responsive. [0]: and to using dozens of images sliced to fit your table cells, for tha

I had the pleasure to talk to Loris about this topic just last week and I've liked his take very much. His point is not coming from a place of LLM demonization. He very much acknowledges their usefulness, especially in a business conte

I agree 100%. At work I'm teaching software engineering principles to system administrators and they, too, often use AI without thinking. Then it's on me to provide feedback on the PRs they barely read themselves. Not a lot of fun

You're misunderstanding me. I never said you should build a framework. I said frontend frameworks already provide style locality out of the box, so there is no need to introduce an additional framework (Tailwind) for that.
