Well, now if DoD moves to another AI provider, we’ll know what was compromised.

I wouldn’t describe central district as crowded with options…

How does one do this without appearing incompetent?

As someone ignorant to the Quran, can you explain how this functions as a checksum? Are you theorizing that scholars knew this fact and used it to, say, aid memorization?

I’ve heard of similar mnemonic devices in oral traditions, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to.

I recently tried the freelancing thing for a couple years, and I’m not sure about this as general advice for experienced engineers. I found it difficult to find gigs paying similar to what I had been making as a FTE, and I found it stressful to frequently negotiate contracts and sell/market myself.

This comment reminded me of "A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins, which explores this. To Hawkins, the brain's relatively fast evolution implies there's a general-purpose "compute" unit that, once it evolved once, could proliferate without novel evolutionary design. He claims this unit is the brain's cortical column, and provides a lot of interesting evidence and claims that I no longer remember :)

Interesting, how can I learn more about this?

setTimeout takes a duration in ms, not a timestamp. If it did take a timestamp, I think you would need to pass it a timezone to disambiguate.

Maybe a better argument is, “when you’re setting a phone alarm, you don’t tell it a timezone.” Maybe the distinction is whether the timezone is established at write time or read time.

Wow, that seems like a huge security risk for Google that people can create phishing sites on their auth domain. I don’t think Google Forms allows login forms, but I’m surprised Google Sites would offer hosting on the primary Google domain.

But isn’t a “cell” composed of infinitely many cells on infinitely many levels? So changing a “cell” should change all cells on all lower levels, not just the visible level.

I always read through my entire diff in the PR preview (on GitHub, say) before submitting, and I find I catch many things this way (typos, small todos, small factoring improvements).

I get feedback that my PRs are very polished, and I think this habit has helped.
