All other factors being equal: Taller person = more cells = more cell divisions = more chances for cell mutation = increased risk of (any) cancer. (credit/source: Hank Green and possibly SciShow on YouTube)

Wake me up when this can run two stages: TF/OT/Pulumi/etc to provision infrastructure, and then Ansible/Salt/etc to configure them.

Glibness aside, this looks promising, I would love an orchestrator for both infrastructure and configuration management though. From the readme, I'm guessing that's somewhat doable with the `Toolbox` feature; be cool to have native integration for more tools though.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the scope/intention of the tool though.

Invasive species aren't 'invasive' for invading human space. They're invasive for invading other species space.

Guess I'm 'almost nobody'. I see zero issue with AI farming Stack Overflow, Twitter, Reddit, and the like - publicly accessible forums. The value to me was in the discussion. It's happened; I've extracted my value from that engagement. If an AI company can also extract value from that collection of discussions, it costs me nothing and I expect no compensation.

Thought AI companies farming copyrighted work on the other hand, that's a different story.

With apologies for the pedantry, they didn't make it _infinitely_ worse. They may have made it _significantly_ worse.

It might be possible that on an international TECHNOLOGY forum, a significant percentage of users know what 'VPN' (a tech thing) stands for and don't know what 'ICE' (a government office (off topic) of a single nation (limited scope)) stands for. Context matters. ICE isn't within either the regional or topical domains of common conversation on this forum.

There's a link in the video to one where they compare different projectile speeds - up to, iirc, a 50cal

Funny you use a spreadsheet as an example. That's been the default for Excel for years. Save to SharePoint/Teams/OneDrive (whatever MS is calling it these days, it's all the same backend) is the default option - and multi-user live editing (or one user in multiple sessions) just works.

I'd very much believe that person could literally write pages on the topic.
