And not all renting out is rent seeking! On occasion in cities with decreasing home prices, the landlord is subsidising the tenant. That is rare though!

Do a Dell. Sell the laptop. Sell support. This is a win win for customer and business.

Yes I do for estimation. If I can calculate requests per minute in my head I saved time.

Also in your analogy the calculator is the compiler :). AI would be someone telling you the numbers to use and you just trust em.

This sort if makes me want to learn Lisp. Maybe if every line packs a lot of punch and you need fewer of them, you can do things AI can't do yet. I think AI would struggle with Lisp since in Lisp, you engineer a language for the task. AI tends to be good on languages it is trained on. For now!

I am on holiday now and want something similar. Get me from A to B but with a memorable heuristic that I can use if I leave at any time. E.g. "if you catch a 134 or 175 bus to Kings station then get the metro 3 stops to Cental station.". Even better if you add some landmarks.

This may exclude some clever routes that shave off 3 minutes if you do the correct parkour... but it means I can now put my phone down and enjoy the journey without tracking it like a hawk.

Oof! I'd rather be half way through fixing the problem while the customer first discovers it.

Unless you have 1 customer who lives in the same time zone or something.

I'd understand not wanring to be being woken up from a page for a small operation though.

It is crazy you need a seperate service for this :(. Why doesn't the original service treat no data as an alert as well as have a 99.999 slo?

I'd suggest a submission title change to "...cut networking software power use..."

Not so sexy. But as a force multiplier that's still a lot of carbon probably.

What does primarily look like with the addition operation instead of multiply? 1,2,4,8,...? Or indeed just 1 alone lol! (Yes 1 is there because zero is the additive identity)

That is the first time I thought of 1 as being the product of []

Thay is enough justification for me of 1 not being prime. It has a factorisation!

More like it eats the dust that brushes pass the front door, but neighbours are safe.
