Definitely feels like a good amount of dev work is writing the same things over and over, in a different language, codebase or context. And it seems like llms are particularly good at translating, specializing and contextualizing across existing knowledge.

It might be financial beneficial once as an up-front payment, but long term, as others have mentioned, really not good for the project to remove the only feature that gives firefox a defensible way to fill it's niche in the market.

Any accidentally dropped conkers were stamped on by any and all in the vicinity.

A conker that survived to the next year was considered "seasoned", although many's the wizened tippex-covered lump of questionable provenance appeared under this explanation.

The long tail of people buy the long tail of coins.

I bought coins when I first discovered them, driven by curiosity mostly.

Humans probably have about the same error rate. It's easy to miss a comma or quote.

These systems compete with humans, not with formatters.

Agree on walkable, although I really like the idea of personal public transport that would be door-to-door and on-demand. I expect it would distribute cities more, and alleviate the hub-and-spoke model that public transport is sometimes built to, e.g. Dublin, Ireland.
