This generally resonates with what we've found. Some colour based on our experiences. It's worth spending a lot of time thinking about what a successful LLM call actually looks like for your particular use case. That doesn't

I use this all the time and you can copy a range of values with multiple cursors and then paste them into the same size range. It's nice for hashes or modifying static lists that all need the same changes, but are annoying to regex for

A big reason that Ontario can't / doesn't is that the demand centers in Southern Ontario are ridiculously far from the generation centers in Manitoba. Toronto is 1800 km straight from the new Keeyask Dam. This is over unpopul
