Ah yes, the touch screen ovens. I have one. Every time I open it, the steam rushes out and registers the touch screen, doing something random each time. You never know what it'll do, it's exciting.

What's the significance of it being Linux? Does that mean I can connect via USB and run arbitrary code there? Assuming that's the case, I would imagine needing to reverse engineer their binary to do anything useful?

It would be interesting to know what life is like for a developer on such a team. Is it like a full time job? A demanding one? Less?

This forum is a treasure trove of financial information but it's too much for me to read. Hmmm.. if only a computer program can read all that and tell me what to do. Does GPT3's training set include this? I want it to be my financ

They wouldn't know how much profit there'd be beforehand. If this was 2017-2018 I can imagine this being much more profitable. Plus it's lower risk compared to others.

I recently started a trial version of Mathematica and likes it so far. SymPy seems like a good free alternative. How does it compare to Mathematica?
