For me the issue isn't with the killing/eating of animals. Rather, it's how they are treated during their lifetime by the meat industry - which is essentially optimizing for the minimum conditions that can still provide meat

Probably stating the obvious here, but this would be a good way for an LLM to attempt to write or modify music.

If you're an engineer capable of holding a $440k/year job then you should care where your talent goes and who benefits from it. There are plenty of places that will pay you a good salary where the boss isn't trying to badly

How do these modern Atoms compare to the Apple ARM chips? Does Apple make something comparable in terms of power/performance?

This would make for a great blog post: top 10 things that ruined the internet. I nominate generative AI for the version of this post two years from now.

Huh, I think I agree. Not only are the banners slow, obnoxious, have a tendency to being manipulative and are different for every website, a web developer can easily ignore the user's choice and track them anyway. Apple made a big leap

TBH, I've never been fired. I have fired a handful of people. All of them have been fired after more than a week (in some case, much more). I believe that all of them could have been fired earlier, saving both us and them a lot of time

MailChimp allows you to buy credits as you go, or pay them monthly by subscriber count. It's also built for marketers so after importing your list there your marketing guy should be fine. If you're looking to do it cheaper, SendGrid offers
