Do you never have Philadelphia cream cheese? Just wondering.

Considering Eliza was one of the first uses for an "AI" chat bot, the therapist use case seems very foreseeable.

If the lowest prices cause insolvency for the company, then let your competitors go bankrupt to win in the long run?

How was your elementary school experience?

For some definition of OK. It would be a big negative change to their lifestyles even if they're still alive.

Also, it assumes they can get to those locations in time from wherever they happen to be.

Maybe works for the US, but eBay shipping to Canada tend to ridiculously overpriced...

Why does your grocery store require a login?

Used by malware mostly, I think.

Don't supermarkets go through their produce really quickly so multi-day storage isn't what they're optimizing for?

People can absolutely get promoted for improving products, even if those products don't make the company money.

The problem is more likely a lack of prioritization at the leadership level.

Why are randos allowed to bill you directly if you didn't sign a contract with them? Shouldn't anyone working at the hospital be under contract with that hospital? Why did the hospital share your personal information with those people without your explicit consent?

If it's to dispute small charges, the company doesn't need to show up and just accept the loss.

> People write docs about stuff they care about but nobody writes docs about the weird error they got once that they needed a workaround for

Google has an internal stackoverflow-style site as well as bug reports and mailing lists that are all preserved for longer than 1-1 chats.

The main downside is now you're making the bytecode an API which means all future changes need to be backwards compatible.

Except then there's no parallelism since you're only building one file. Ideally you'd split it into N files to take advantage of multiple cores, but then you have to decide how to split it...

This just sounds like an inefficiency in Google Docs. Native software can also be inefficient, even if it's written in C or asm, if the data structures or algorithms used can't handle certain types of data well. Just in this case, the native software seems to be able to handle that file better.

Got more details about what you're referring to?

For example, I know they have auto-subtitle stuff, but it's pretty ancient tech and I haven't seen it improve much since it was launched and it has still glaring shortcomings, like not being able to split out different people speaking or infer punctuation.

Did IDEs in 1995 actually support renaming variables? I thought that was a more modern thing like 2000s.

Well, test files shouldn't be affecting the actual production binary.

But in practice that's not something that can be enforced for arbitrary projects without those projects having set something up specifically.

For example, the project could track the effect on binary size of the production binary after every PR. But then it still requires a human (or I guess an AI bot?) to notice that the increase would be unexpected.

How would that even work? Are distros expected to code their own alternative versions of open source libraries where they can't get the maintainers to send their IDs? Or what stops from forged IDs being used?

Shouldn't whatever is depending on xz supporting landlock be verifying that it's the case through blackbox tests or something? Otherwise a check like this even without the bug could end up disabling landlock if e.g. the compiler environment was such that a given header wasn't available...

And how long would that take to happen?

The plastic wrap on the cucumbers makes them last longer. You can argue whether it's worth it, but there is a reason.

I don't see that happening except at very big businesses like chains. Most locally owned restaurants have trouble maintaining a working website let alone something so complicated.

Theoretically, incompetence can be unevenly deployed if you assign incompetent people more predominantly to specific regions or cases.

Well, it doesn't make sense that this still happens. You'd think there would be policies and training to prevent this sort of thing nowadays...

Is there a source for higher cost locations being affected more than lower cost ones? I didn't get that impression.

When you guess a vowel that's repeated in the answer, it counts all the occurrences.

Internet suggests that it actually has to be ingested by the insects, not just have contact with their exoskeleton. So for example it doesn't work on bedbugs since they won't eat it.
