Top athletes they have stats to measure. I guess for these researchers I guess there are papers? How do you know who did what with multiple authors? How do you figure out who is Jordan vs Steve Kerr?

This over reliance on llms is crazy. People are going to forget how to code. Sometimes the llm makes up shit or uses the wrong version of the API. Sometimes it's easier to look up the documentation and write some code.

Pissing off your primary customer base probably isn't smart. I don't see MAGA buying electric cars. In foreign markets BYD is a better value.
He did become the world's richest man and he bought himself and election so I wouldn't under estimate him.

At least right now it can't. It makes a lot of mistakes. It is useful to write the code and then you just need to fix the stuff it didn't do right.

The dudes who did this are going to probably be visited by homeland security or FBI. Not sure what they thought they will get out of this. I don't think the government cares about security, but they are vengeful.

Unless you own a house I don't think it makes sense to get an electric. I barely like sitting 5 minutes at the super charger which at least for me was giving like 180kw and then it just drops off a bunch, and now the super chargers are getting more full.
