I don’t know if this is still the case but while using Copilot if you looked through the chain-of-thought output you would see it reasoning about a “budget”. i.e. “since I’m close to the session budget I should…”. So it could be possible

Maybe it’s because I (like many) have experienced taking pictures at night and seeing the grainy result that _this_ image struck me as incredibly realistic.

Almost like I ran the grainy-to-real conversion in my mind and I felt like I was imagining seeing this in person. Beautiful image!

Seems like it has a cutter:

>There's an integrated cutter that'll cut the roll into A4 size, but if you have a longer format printing job like a banner, then that's possible too.

Seemingly its always been on a scale between directly editing 1s and 0s and drafting legislature. Compile times may vary

Could this be associated to a supposed recent State Department approval?

“I just approved a program to deploy small modular nuclear reactors built in the United States to an allied country to help with their sort of energy infrastructure.”

“Which allied country would that be?”

“I can't tell you. It's not public yet.”

slightly off-topic (but tangentially mentioned in the article). I google'd "Chicxulub" and saw an easter-egg I hadn't previously known about :)

Great article. I recently finished my second reading of TMM and how/to what extent our current era of generative code affects the ideas of the book was top of mind.

Tangential: I have similar thoughts about Jira. The ticket-fication of organizational goals. At least it would be useful to pen any negative repercussions of this

Agree. FWIw you can quickly put any email/pw to make an account and it lets you through (i.e. no email verification)

Can "everything" be mapped to a written language task (i.e. described)?

I wonder how the author would respond to your feedback:

> Reporting problems and proposed solutions should be encouraged, but there shouldn't be a blanket statement of "Don't bring a me problem unless you have a proposed solution!"

It's kind of meta because in this post itself you are employing a kind of complain-and-propose.

Anyways I think your conclusion is entirely reasonable. I don't think blanket statements are most ever the solution, and I assume the author would agree!
