QuantumSeedon GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code

I suspect a video of you playing literally anything on the cello--even an improvised song or a random motif--is likely to get reported as a copyright violation when uploaded to YouTube.

QuantumSeedon How roasted almonds become marzipan (2018)

Totally agree with your stance on Reeses. I learned how to make my own cups after seeing a video from Bon Appétit on YouTube. I think it's definitely worth the trouble if you're a big fan of peanut butter cups.

QuantumSeedon AI converts between hundreds of programming languages

Tried converting a Typescript function that returns the sum of a and b, and it generated: +

Clearly not ready for prime time.

QuantumSeedon Why do some humans love chili peppers?

Apparently some animals love it as well. I lived in New Mexico in the heart of green chili country for many years, and it was not uncommon then for deer to jump over, chew through, or break down fences to get to chili plants.

QuantumSeedon Good conversations have lots of doorknobs

As a developer who occasionally gets pulled in to help with urgent support issues, I dread bare hello messages. It gives me too much time to imagine a down site or some other critical event. Asking the question up front spares me a lot of stress.

QuantumSeedon It's normal to play the same song over and over again (2016)

It occasionally happens that I put a song on repeat and leave it running for hours, much to the annoyance of many past roommates. I have no explanation for why I find it appealing, but I'm relieved to read that it's apparently not uncommon.

QuantumSeedon Apple previews Lockdown Mode

As soon as you enable lockdown mode in iOS 16 Beta 3 it reboots the phone

QuantumSeedon Webcams aren't good enough

To your point, I've seen some modern webcams accentuate extremely minor facial blemishes to the point where observers actually notice it and call it out, concerned that the person is sick or has had some sort shaving incident. I would think compression would make that even worse.

QuantumSeedon Your phone may soon replace many of your passwords

Wonder what these means for those folks who find smartphones too confusing and difficult to use. I have a couple of friends in their late 70's who simply can't use them; I fear they will be left behind.

QuantumSeedon Windows needs a change in priorities

To your point, the Programs and Features section of the Windows 11 Control Panel no longer lists Microsoft Teams as a product that can be uninstalled.

QuantumSeedon What's my place in the world population?

Please don't let an app tell you how long you will live; It's probably not good for your mental health.
