I can't really judge if this was a success or a failure or what it means for SpaceX. But as an observer, I have to say it is fun to be able to watch launches of massively complex rockets, in real time, in very high quality video str

I think I have a similar feeling to you. Why is it that only the blog author gets to use GPT4 to do Priya's work? Why doesn't Priya also get to use GPT4 to accelerate/enhance her work?

The expression "no brainer" means that some decision is so obvious as to not require any thought. I think this article is saying that using C++ with a team of seasoned C++ developers was such an obvious thing to do that they didn

I'm curious what are your actual compile times? What does "painfully long" mean for you and your workflow? 15 seconds? 2 minutes? 15 minutes?
