    The fact that you had 'hydration breaks' in enclosed, fully air-conditioned stadiums is very telling.

    That's not the point he was making at all though. He wasn't saying "buy a fancy pen, it's better for your brain". The positioning is "every time people hear that I write on paper, …

    I would've thought you could solve that with multiple agents. So rather than having "Claude" installed as a god-mode user in all channels, you have 10 instances of a bot running, e…

    My understanding of what they were saying Buzz is is that agents are "1st class" users in their own right, rather than being an app integration. If you have a user called Claude, t…

    that feels like the opposite analogy though - filleting a fish to the precision of a Michelin starred kitchen might be hard, but knives in general are easy to use, even for a begin…

    I think it's a really interesting space, because it feels like the answer to what a DM does in context is on a spectrum - as in, their decisions on what is valid/invalid is not pur…

    Why wouldn't a player be available though? CD/DVD players won't just suddenly stop working. My CDs and CD players at home from the 1990s are still working completely fine. If they …

    this feels like a fun premise! As feedback, I think I'd enjoy it more with shorter words or more guesses

    I think most people would consider it something published alright, as other definitions start to become a bit absurd (e.g. reading the menu at a restaurant or the match day program…

    He'll likely win alright, but at the last GE, he only received 21,225 out of 45,648 votes cast, (so got 47% of the votes on 58% turnout). I think you'll get a non-trivial amount of…

    I think Erskine May just says "Members should dress in business-like attire" - so maybe if he had a special 'business bin' as opposed to a 'smart-casual bin' he could argue the poi…

    It reminds me of that old parable where the acolyte asks the priest "Father, can I smoke while I pray?" and gets told "No, you should be focusing on praying. That wouldn't be respe…

    I mean, even all else aside - why would they need a "perpetual, irrevocable" licence?

    Is it? I thought that's specifically what the OP was talking about — the ranking that their resumé scored on the ATS algorithm.

    For one, if you go on to Hacker Rank's "Screen" page, they mention the product is used by Stripe/AirBnB/LinkedIn/Atlassian/IBM etc etc. I imagine that there's plenty more companies…

    I always find it funny when a technical crowd starts picking on em dashes as a sure sign of AI. I mean, are keyboard shortcuts really that difficult for developers? Some of us alwa…

    Always reminds me of Guy Steele's "Growing a Language" talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw6TaiXzHAE&t=48s Think it's a great fit for IF alright.
