Text selection and dragging bug is annoying, I'll fix that.
Chat is such a social product, even inside a company, as many here have addressed. That said, irc, hipchat, campfire, matrix, slack, zulio, lync, wave, and a hundred others have had their moments of success, and I could see this being on the more successful side.

User: Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?
Claude: To solve this, let's break it down step-by-step:
We know that Sally has 3 brothers. Each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters. This might make you think that there are 6 sisters in total (3 brothers × 2 sisters each). However, this is not the case. The sisters that each brother has are the same - they are Sally and one other sister. The question is asking how many sisters Sally herself has, not the total number of sisters in the family. Since Sally is a girl, she cannot be her own sister. Therefore, the number of sisters Sally has is equal to the number of sisters each of her brothers has minus herself. So, if each brother has 2 sisters, and one of those sisters is Sally, then Sally must have 2 - 1 = 1 sister. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
In general, I've found in 15 years of interviews that interviews are not highly correlated with the work at any given company. I wish we would move beyond cargo cult interview styles and base interviews (and screening, for that matter) on the actual work and culture of each company.
What's the electrical failure rate of every appliance in your home, and the associated risk of death by electrocution? If you don't know offhand, it might be that you are implicitly relying on UL standards to keep you safe and whole.
Consumers don't have perfect information, so the risk is asymmetric. If you assume the market will sort out risk and quality so we don't need standards and enforcement thereof, I don't believe your model is aligned with reality.
Oral argument indicates property rights likely to prevail in that home equity theft case.
The Supreme Court seemed sympathetic to the homeowner Geraldine Tyler in her dispute over Hennepin County seizing her home. The case is the last oral argument of the Supreme Court's term.
Impressive! I asked, "How did oral argument go in that home equity theft case?" The case, Tyler, was argued in the Supreme Court yesterday.
Just this week I saw yet another new diff/merge tool: https://juxtacode.app/
Seems like a tough market to keep moving up in.
Also noteworthy is how many of those links are dead now.
I've been a long time bookmarker, but recently added rewind.ai to my toolset. Not affiliated in any way (except as a user), but it has been game changing for my augmented memory use cases.
