Fun idea but impersonating someone else, especially your customer, sounds like a way to land in hot water. Also LLMs are not exactly cheap.

There is no market. I can only sell electricity to PG&E and only at a flat rate.

I used to have a bathroom without an extractor and in the winter with the window open the cold air would just cool the walls and cause more condensation there than I’d get with it closed.

When a software startup fails it’s rare that we ever get to find out the real reason for it. The straw that broke the camels back gets the blame - the recession, some hackers, Google, whatever. Nobody goes to the newspaper saying hey, we ne

Sort of. But customers don’t want features. They want you to solve their problems. Most customers also value that being done reliably. So features are a means to an end as much as code quality is.

You are wrong. The Romans didn’t erase anything because nothing was written down.

My personal favourite is Zustand. But if you like proxy state then Valtio is really nice.

It’s also AGPL licensed but has incompatibly-licensed dependencies.

No that’s a very dubious take.

Your analogy doesn’t hold because it’s a very different crime with very different intent and culpability. I’m simply pointing to the most similar Federal crimes and pointing out that the sentences are proportional. For comparison, Federal a

It’s not. The premeditated part gets you “voluntary” but the activity they chose to engage in carries only a very minor risk of death. They haven’t set out to kill somebody.

Yes, 18 U.S. C. § 1113. The special circumstances can be as simple as breaking another Federal law while committing manslaughter. Of course the Feds would much rather stick to prosecuting crimes that don’t overlap state laws.

That seems excessive. I would consider swatting lesser than attempted voluntary manslaughter which carries a maximum 10 year federal sentence. It’s also typically prosecuted at the state level, which kinda messes things up for the Feds. Rec

Nice, some years ago I worked on the Apache PDFBox code that powers this. Great to see people build on top of it.

In practice setup scripts are brittle. New person joins the team and their script fails because it turns out everyone else’s dev environment was only working due to something left behind by some older script. Hotfix requires checking out an

I disagree. You’re looking at old cars, but every car manufacturer sells new cars. The average non-luxury car in the US costs $42,000. Manufacturers are going to produce the product that new car buyers want.

I'm struggling to believe that it's a "a huge portion" given that Saudi Arabia has less than 1/10th the population of the US. Still, the story you link to is an amazing self-own on the part of Arizona.

Yes, Skia uses the traditional method of tessellating path geometry on the CPU and then having the GPU handle transforming and shading it as if it were 3D geometry. Compare that with what we see here, which uses compute shaders for the whol

No it wasn’t. It was basically right in the middle. The prosecutors, who typically ask for something a wide margin higher than realistic asked for 15. Remember this is a federal sentence, so no parole.
