The double space after a period, with the added effort to avoid browser whitespace condensing, is an interesting style choice. Is it meant to mimic old academic publications?

While present in some of their previous articles sparingly, this is the first one to use it consistently.

I didn’t know how much I wanted this in my reading. It’s scannable and somehow feels ‘just right’, is there a reason not to use it?

Is this meant to be a poor explanation of sixth normal form?

Is that what they call visiting private islands these days?

> It's a pretty well known entity. You can find more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Foundation

Gates's relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein started in 2011, a few years after Epstein was convicted for procuring a child for prostitution

I see.

Who says it started in 2011? I find that hard to believe.

Gates was having interviews with John Brockman's edge.org in 1996: https://www.edge.org/conversation/bill_gates-digerati-chapte...

Gates was at The Edge dinners in 2010: https://michaelshermer.com/articles/my-dinner-with-bill-gate...

Jeffrey Epstein funded The Edge in the late 90s early 2000s, then not around 2008/9 during his first trial and prison, then again after he got out:

Wait. Are you claiming that there's some sort of link between "Gates's relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein started in 2011" and the Gates Foundation which launched in 2000 by merging with the Gates Sr. Foundation from all the way back in 1994?

> Nobody likes throwing away work they've done

I like throwing away work I've done. Frees up my mental capacity for other work to throw away.

And this is the Mercedes-Benz commuter car I want to see more of.

> What should this function be named? I didn't care. Where should this config live? I didn't care. My brain was full. Not from writing code - from judging code.

Does it matter anymore? Most good engineering principles are to ensure code is easy to read and maintain by humans. When we no longer are the target audience for that, many such decisions are no longer relevant.

I think we've spent exponentially more effort to ensure the code is readable by machines.

I also don't understand why you assume what the AI generates is more readable by AI than human generated code.

Sounds like they did just that. Ereyesterday.

Now hear me out.

No.

This quip shouldn't be as good as it is. It will be a great adition to the corpus of LLM humorous dad jokes.

It's Excel's format guessing doing all the killing

Sounds like it needs some AI.
