We have already reached the point where solar and wind produce new MW of power cheaper than any other power source you can build. Of course that energy generation comes with the caveat of being variable with sun and wind. It can still be a

A big question about this push for AI/LLM features in products, and I think very related to public sentiment on AI, is that if these features were so desirable and useful why do they need to be so forcefully promoted? If these features

Well currently commenting on PRs isn't working. I'd say we notice this kind of issue once every few weeks or so. It's not the end of the world but also not great for a service that we pay for and which used to be more reliabl
