   Thank you for being up-front in disclaiming that this project is AI-written, both here and in the Github page. I really appreciate the transparency.

   Sorry, by 'customer' I meant to say something like a large corporate customer - you're buying the whole package, and across your org, you're likely to be a little affected by even minor outages of niche services. But yea

   I think reasonable people can disagree on this. From the point of view of an individual developer, it may be "fraction of tasks affected by downtime" - which would lie between the average and the aggregate, as many tasks use multi

   Is there any audio you might play that doesn't fit in 400Mbps?

   Real answer - it's because an LLM is better than you at the things you suck at. For executives, that's writing code. For ICs, it's other stuff.

   Yep. I have one of these on my desk: https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Cattop/dp/B09F8QQPJH/ (a heating pad shaped like a laptop), and our cat will spend 90% of my workday on it, and the remaining 10% is spent g

   I seem to remember Windows XP using tabs in a lot of its settings pages - and possibly earlier versions as well.

    Every single person in that meet "pushed someone" else out of that meet. That's how competition works.

    Yeah, generally you get better in your sport in the 4-5 years you're in college. She was already putting up crazy numbers as a freshman on the men's team. From Wikipedia: > Thomas began swimming on the men's team at the Un

    You believe that women are genetically more susceptible to concussions than men are?

    Either way - the OS is, if anything, the thing that provides the file/metadata abstraction. It doesn't exist to hide it from you. Without an OS, you've got a CPU and memory-mapped hardware devices. You certainly don't ha

    Yes, straight men tend to like when women have wider hips than waists. That doesn't mean that skinniness is attractiveness at a biological level.

    I may be showing my grey hair here, but that's emphatically not the point of an operating system.

    Nope, it's cultural. If you look at cultures outside of your narrow window (in both time and space), you'll find that the perception of fatness has varied wildly over the millenia.

    24 hours is long enough to get them off the phone, and potentially talking to other people who might recognize the scam. There will be some proportion of people who mention to their spouse/child/friend about how Google called them

    > why aren't you applying that and making millions? Knowing that something is a lousy predictor doesn't mean that you have a better one.

    Could you expand on this? For example, this works just fine: def silly_append(item, orig=[]): return orig + [item] Edit: Oh, I think you probably mean in cases where you're mutating the input list.

    There's also the supply/demand aspect of it. Some electricity is cheaper to provide than others - the cheapest is the renewable or nuclear that's already built in the area, but when demand is high, the grid provider will sour

    I obviously wasn't there, but it sounds like maybe they were asking for reassurance. There's a lot of people out there saying that LLMs are going to totally replace regular programming, and for a new grad who doesn't know muc

    I feel like there already was one, on HN a few years ago. If I remember right, they were hoping to charge $20/month. Edit: Ah, this was it: https://mightyapp.webflow.io/

    Also, getting better sleep (by fixing heartburn and meals) will mean you're more rested, and improve functioning during the day.

    The leading paragraph is obviously AI, also: > That number isn't a projection. It isn't an estimate. It's the sum total of confirmed individuals affected across 735 breach reports filed with the HHS Office for Civil Rights
