If a qualification for the role is "appreciation for certain less represented cultures/ideas/..." then sure. Otherwise, for a backend c++ engineer the benefits are significantly less obvious, to the point it's reall

I think it's probably enough to get your phone to open your texting app with a pre populated number and message body, then all the user needs to do is hit send.

How the fuck did Texas get this one right but the rest of the USA is in flames. That being said, things like Nyse Texas paint an opposite picture of the state.

You say "a lot of people" but there aren't many of those. The scalpers/pokemon resellers/... making bank and posting on Instagram are, if not outright fraud, at best the 1% to 0.1% of those trying to do it

Please do the math on what $50/week could mean to you in 10 or 20 years and compare that to the likelihood you have any kind of edge betting.

Realistically though, with the demographics as they are, aren't these young men just throwing dice to gamble against and take the money of other young men? Isn't this a 0 sum game? Or is it more young men vs the establishment wher

Why would anthropic at all prefer this approach when that middle man can switch and cost-arbitrage between countless other model providers. We're not talking about what is best for the consumer (ex more competition to force iterations

My kneejerk is that most consumers these days expect delivery for items purchased online, and allowing them to pick up their items at a brick and mortar probably isn't the issue. Now, dropping off items you're selling? That probab

exactly, use std::expected as the return type, avoid exceptions, and make a failable factory constructor to build your type. Make invalid states unrepresentable!!!

This is some absolute BS. In the current day and age you are 1000% responsible for the externalities of your use of AI. Read the terms and conditions of your model provider. The document you signed, regardless if you read or considered it,
