I was expecting more solar kits to be available on the day of release, but looking at Argos, Lidl, Screwfix, etc there doesn't really seem to be a whole lot.

Some related research (in mice) from the news this morning (mainly in the last couple of sections of the article) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg7p8n9g2klo

To add a complicating factor, from this blogpost [1] GitHub say's "...if you provide private repository content as input to an AI Feature, we may use that input to improve AI features".
So I assume that if you were to supply a significant chunk of code to AI and ask for a code review, then your code could end up in the training data even though it wasn't written by AI (unless you know there's a manual opt-out option [2]).

From reading the GitHub privacy statement, I'm interpreting that private repositories won't be used for AI (https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/gith...). I'd be interested to hear any different though.

Scott Geffert did a talk about The Met scanning process on Weds at the OpenUSD working group meeting. Here's the link he shared which explains more (along with a bit of history)

A near neighbour described being interviewed by Tony Hoare for his first job after graduating (he got the job!). Sounds like the interview process in those days was a chat over lunch rather than coding exercises. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43592201

The bytecode interpreter in the second half of the book doesn't use the visitor pattern.
There's a link to the presentation at SIGGRAPH - https://youtu.be/N2_lb77gKQ8.
