"These libraries purport to make the output of your LLMs" First time I've seen the verb "purport".
Can't you already do that with embedded resources?

Why do you see this as a strong dependency? The beauty of it is that you can change the model whenever you want. You can even just code yourself! This isn't some no-code stuff.

Same for me, I can't go to history.com. Might be an European thing, I see they own the history channel: https://www.hearstnetworks.com/brands/cee/history

I didn't know he had died, it's really sad... I remember seeing some random Tetris videos on YouTube with him and the guy saying 'Boom Tetris'.

I love this package, I'm able to remove most of my Redux use cases with it.
I'm sure it's a bug, they have nothing to gain from it, especially if there's no warning about this.

It's also a good reminder for everyone to back up everything!

At least I can see more concrete applications than I did with the Web 3.0 bullshit (NFT, metaverse and other buzzwords).
Well, these people were lucky to have you. Unfortunately, many people just want to not be disturbed, and it's much easier to ignore someone through Slack than in person.
I joined a new company in September, and most of my colleagues were fully remote. I have enough experience and was able to handle myself, but when I imagine this situation in my first year, I'm sure it would have been much harder.
Don't you think full remote is kind of selfish? I mean, I also love it, but what about new hires and junior? How are they going to learn and improve if each time they have a question, they need to post it on slack and just wait...

Fantastic project. In a way, it makes me think of a game I love called From Dust: https://store.steampowered.com/app/33460/From_Dust/

It could also be linked to a change in your diet. I have the same kind of experience, but I eat less sugar and this helped a lot in my case
Automated machines distribute cards for a few months already. I was used to take tickets by 10, and got a card last time.
Don't you think there will be a problem of place? They occupy lot of space, plus you can't place them where you want
Emails maybe ? But it means you have to regularly check your inbox. Or use a webhook called by your email provider when you receive an email :D

Youtube is already full of this stuff, Instagram is full of narcissist people, Twitter is full of angry people and so on. I don't think we need China.

I would say to the local farm, then you have to wait for the cow to be milked (like an external api call...). At the end you just reduced you journey time by 0.1%, and incread you code complexity by 100%.

But can Google kill it? Many people bought their games, there must be a law that prevent that... Right?
Resharper helps a lot with that, making useful suggestions.

Especially if these users can share content, then you need to do moderation and hooo boy, you don't want to do that.
