I would be interested to hear your take on Copilot vs Claude. I have used Copilot (trial) in VS Code and I found it to mostly meet my needs. It could generate some plans and code, which I could review on the go. I found this very natural to me as I never felt 'left behind' in whatever code the AI was generating. However, most of the posts I see here are on Claude (I haven't tried it) and very few mentions of Copilot. What is your impression about them and the use cases each is strong in?

I feel they're largely here, on this platform. Hacker News, currently, could be renamed to AI News, without any loss of generality.

Fair point on survivorship bias. But, I think SD card being flash memory is technically expected to fail over time, with that failure compounded by the number of write cycles. These cycles are a spec of the SD card. If a section/page of the flash is being overwritten more frequently than the other, then surely it'll fail faster than an SD card whose erase/write cycles are distributed uniformly across all the sections/pages.

This really puts so many modern conflicts into perspective. Everyone sees themselves as victims. Unfortunately, a consensus on who is and isn't a victim will always be highly elusive.

This sounds great. You mean something like the African Union and its 2 letter acronym, AU?

You may want to look at the Japanese train 'bodycount'. They've arguably the most elaborate rail system and I believe it's still safer than air.

You may have to reduce the amount of Fs you give.

Since January of this year, I have been waiting for a certain MCU (STM32F042K6T6) to be available but still no luck. I get the bigger picture now: there's a shortage at the source. I have to move fast and secure a stock of the rest of the ICs, otherwise this supply-chain issue can be disastrous to small hardware companies.

Is the phrase,"get short end of the stick" originate from this?

Did you just list Saudi Arabia and Qatar as poor countries? They might be anything, but not poor.

The obsession is not just with stations;everything is bigger over there. My first visit to the US, I was traveling from Japan. The difference in size of things in the two countries is uncanny. From people to cars to food;my impression was Americans like it bigger.

Some things cannot be bought. Many things have a monetary equivalent, though.

That was quite pronounced. Of the 7, only one wasn't featured: Africa. Difficult to make any conclusion on that, but it's hard to ignore
