Yes, I'm talking about LLM performance. Not runtime of the code.

"performs better" means the LLM does better. Takes less turns. Creates better quality. Has nothing to do with runtime performance.

I've been running a bunch of benchmarks comparing typed python to untyped python, and untyped python actually performs better now. I don't think it's the case anymore that types improve clarity to the LLM.

My hunch: The LLM has already been trained on the library, already knows the types. The annotations are just wasted noise/tokens at this point. (Also, majority of python is untyped, so probably has better "training data")

The real cost savings was from realizing the infrastructure needing nuking. Probably could have gotten almost the same savings keeping it in node and refactoring. Go doesn't seem to be the real hero of this story.

Actually, states can't legally pick permanent daylight, only permanent standard, which is what started this whole fiasco. A lot of states want permanent daylight time, not standard.

Schools can _already_ decide for themselves when to start

Except this was a computer hack. So technically wouldn't qualify.

The only feature I need to make containers complete is setting a container as the current container for external links.

It's a real pain to click links in slack/etc open in the wrong account. I would be okay with some type of "links currently open in which container" setting, and changing that as needed. Or some selector when external.

For these specifically? Way easier than rabbitMQ. I love rabbitmq. It's an amazing technology, and if you need a high throughout message bus, it's still a better goto. But.. it does require quite a lot of expertise and know how to operate. Paged at 2am, you will likely get very frustrated. Pgmq though, is "just a bunch of tables". It's going to be a lot easier to figure out what's going on. You already understand transactional DBs.

Unless of course, you already know how to operate rabbitmq.

South Park has been sued many times. A famous case vs Tom Cruise, in which their defense was that they make fun of everyone, so it's not libel.

Well sure. But not just kids get addicted to alcohol.

All stocks are incentivized to go a specific direction. You could consider Options more like gambling, but for that reason they are restricted to specific people. We also have things to prevent bad incentives, like insider trading laws, which prediction markets don't have.

So, I guess the answer is, regulatory control.

In Jesus' day, some Jews wanted to deport him. So ya, that fits.

> technically impossible

Not at all! Just very unlikely. It's about odds and statistics. Not physics.

K3s is so easy to install, that k3sup feels like an increase in complexity. Feels like an abstraction that provides negative value.
