Hi HN!
I created a free to use little tool for quickly generating test data that contains correct foreign key relationships.
I’d love some feedback!

Didn’t they though? I’m sure accounting firms hired way more accountants back in the days of paper records. AI definitely won’t rid society of the developer role, but there will certainly be fewer employment opportunities.

It’s pronounced “y-ah-kt”. I’d probably use it if it was pronounced “jacked”.

So how long is the trip to Earth from your home planet? And do you plan on staying a while or are you just here for 6 months to humiliate us with your superintelligence?

If false hope is still hope the way a red car is a car, then false also has no meaning in this context. Would a false car still be a car?
I agree people should be informed and manage their expectations. My issue is that it’s a terrible expression that gets misapplied constantly.

I agree that the probability of a desired outcome is valuable information. But to call being unaware of this information “false hope” is a blight on our language. Hope is hope. It’s quite proven that believing a certain outcome is likely increases the likelihood of that outcome.

I guess hope can be false now.

OP is asking for lesser-known possible treatments/trials/diets/whatever for a friend who is probably weeks to months from death. And your contribution is to stop people from helping them because of something about what now?

Interesting. I lucid dream quite frequently, and not only am I perfectly aware of my waking reality, but I have full dual body control. Like if I’m flying around but I can tell that my real leg is uncomfortable I can make the adjustment without thinking twice about it.
