It's so so 50/50. Tried a few examples and its trying to fit what it thinks it's heard into an actual sentence which means is often inserting or changing words. Don't think I'd used that.

Also who cares about the binary size unless it's like 15 TB or something why not add a bit more MB to the binary size to get a better alog or whatever.

Fast but the output is shit due to the contrained model they used. Doubt we'll ever get something like this for the large Param decent models.

100% agree this isn't a browser. It's better than the previous attempt but fails to render even basic html websites correctly and crashes constantly.

The fact that it compiles is better the the cursor dude. "It Compiles" is a very low bar to working software.

If you're using AWS then you are most likely using us-east-1 there is no escape. When big problems happen on us-east-1 it affect most of AWS services.

Agreed, having worked with a few people who thought xslt is the bee knees it's just not very good at all for this type of thing. In fact I'd say it's not very good at anything really.

My thoughts:

1) It's fragile. As xml is so dynamic small changes in the data can mean your transform doesn't work or worse that it does run but doesn't transform to the correct thing anymore

2) Hard to actually make xslt work. Like there are no decent debugging tools the best you'll get is a site you can plug in data and it will auto run the transformation. The devex here is really really poor which is why I'm baffled anyone would build this. As you say it's a transform language so you can't really step through it you just have to run it and see

3) Very hard to test properly. The amount of times something small would change in the data and then the transforms wouldn't work was awful. The "unit testing" we done was produce a bunch of XML and then run the transforms and check the XML. Like I couldn't actually test parts of the transform as I was going

4) Most importantly was maintenance. XSLT seemed to be a write only language as in hardly anyone as able to pickup someone elses transform and figure it out.

The people who liked it normally only used it for toy applications.

> Which is much harder to dose correctly when the kid spits or drools it out.

Never met a non autistic child who would spit or drool out calpol. I'd take the stuff myself as an adult it tastes brilliant.

> Total culture shock for me, as in Europe the default for children is rectal ingestion (which is probably a culture shock as well for Americans)

Huh are you talking about new born babies or something? I've been to a few different EU countries and you can buy liquid stuff for kids in the chemists. (Spain, france, germany, italy) source me as a child getting the stuff when I was sick abroad and the local doc sold my parents basically some off brand calpol.

Actually nowadays it's less that it's a problem to pop the pills out the booster pack and more that you are limited to the number you can buy.

So if you're going to off yourself you'd have to stock pile or roam around shops picking up.

There is a not insignificant number of suicides where people just say fck it I'll just kill myself but they don't want to go out to any real bother to do it i.e. they don't pre-plan it it's just spur of the moment. A bottle of kill yo self pills is pretty easy. Cupboard, swallow, drink down some water, die. But having to go out and buy a bunch over a few days or like drive around in your car just buying as many as you can. Like you'd have to look it up to check you're going to buy enough.

Back when that law came in when they didn't reduce the total amount you could buy at one time so if you went in and bought like 10 packs at the supermarket then the person at the till would be like ok this person's going to kill themselves so again that would require a bit of balls from the would be kill yo selfer.

I think you can buy a bottle of like 100 x 500mg for like $20 in the USA. That's like over 2 weeks swigging at the max amount. Like you don't need that many, 3-4 days is enough shouldn't be taking that much of the stuff.

Are you saying that there is no ageism in the tech industry at all ?

Ok have you tried freelancing? The freelancing sites like upwork and fiverr should be able to get you to that level of money per month.

What have you tried so far?

Not throwing any shade just don't want to be suggesting stuff you've already tried.

Yeah I noticed this and was going to mention it. That many supplements is very very odd.

Many people have lived very long over the years without resorting to that many pills.

Most of these layoffs have been very odd. These are companies making bank and then laying off people left right and center that are key to them making that bank.

Corporate companies are totally baffling Hasbro is no different.
