It's the demographic distribution of those 8 billion that's the problem.

Their series earlier this year, covering Alfred the Great through to William the Conqueror, was one of their best, I think (and I'm a fan).

The alternative of 10^12 (trillion) seems a stretch to say the least.

I would hazard to say very many people, me included.

Yep. Really dislike the American flag being used as the symbol for English.

I tried previous iterations of JetBrain's AI without much love, but need to look at Junie. Using Windsurf plugins in JB ides has been working for me, albeit not as powerful yet as …
