They're complicit. You don't fire a boss because some people don't like them, you fire a boss when you don't like them.

What a state of affairs we're in...

Agree completely! The people saying "LLMs don't produce good code" are using prompts like "build a feature that does X, Y and Z"

Good prompting with current-quality LLMs needs to look like "create a function that take in params A and B and produces an output of C"

It's still faster than hand writing the code since the agent will refactor as it goes and break things down into manageable, small functions, but you have to tell it to do that.

Almost 7 thousand people bought one?! That's crazy, it was a meme product!

This is an interesting long-view take, but is the government also providing loans and trying to spurr manufacturing, machine shops, etc. too? Without that, it's just a dream to hope Canadian companies won't just wait 4 years, really.

My first thought was "holding a dick" then I went to these memes

If you want to be certain you don't get the tingle, you should seek out a "Buzz Button"

It's like a Sichuan peppercorn, but maybe 5x the strength (at least in my recollection).

The only place I've had one was at a cocktail bar in Toronto, they paired it with a very sweet cocktail and the combination was mind blowing.

It's just like sports betting but your surprise is the interest rate!

You might be able to just pull out the SIM card from your glove box. It needs a cellular connection to share data, but without a SIM card it can't get data.

Not sure if it has any ill effects (ie: disabling emergency response stuff) but might be worth it depending on how privacy conscious you are.

From what I've read about working at Chinese tech companies, you will not get to work remotely. In fact, you will be required to work in an office for 10 hrs a day instead of coming and going as you please.

Just look at the TSMC factory in AZ as an example. Taiwanese work expectations are not very compatible with how top US talent wants to work.
