But I'd encourage just adapting your favorite chili recipe or utilizing what's already in your pantry, since there's no hard requirements. Sliced avocado on top is a game changer though.
Make too much. It's also a great leftover.
FWIW I highly recommend recipes from Pick Up Limes

The accurate way to describe this is hundreds of families chose a provider that was inelligible for the state's subsidy. Other providers are not eligible either. There's no guarantee if you become a provider that you will be included. And being eligible doesn't guarantee increased enrollment either. You can still get knocked by bad ratings and higher prices.
Edit: Plus birth rates are down and so is Catholic participation

allowing LLMs into any project almost certainly spells the end of human involvement in the source code.
I'm not sure what this means. LLMs don't prompt themselves, or have their own goals/ideas/direction for a project. They also aren't very good at finding UI/UX bugs or understanding what makes something feel nice to use, one of the most important aspects of any technology.
certainly doing everything within their power to ensure everyone believes LLMs are the future.
The open weight models are something like ~6 months behind the frontier models. If the frontier models ever plateau, it's unclear what their competitive advantage will be, especially if they continue going down the path of locking down their models to their own harnesses.
Perhaps somewhat inversely, price subsidization is inherently not sustainable. Businesses will have to decide between how to split costs between their own workforce vs an external vendor. Businesses that bet wrong, eliminating all humans, will either be left holding the bag OR up the creek without a paddle OR have no special sauce and be overtaken by someone who does.
LLMs cannot provide a direct replacement for domain knowledge gained first-hand within specific communities. That's not data you can scrape from a website.
Linus and others might think there's some middle-ground between the two; I think that's just wishful thinking.
Yeah, I'd certainly consider that a false dichotomy. From a really high level, there's way too much nuance in this domain for there to be only two options.
Skim the code, "looks right," click merge. Eventually you don't even skim the code anymore. Click "review code," an LLM says "looks right," click merge. Eventually you don't even click buttons anymore. LLM generated the code, LLM says "looks right," LLM merges.
I know for the codebase I maintain, it was already sprawling and inconsistent before LLMs. Getting agents to spit out anything useful required documenting (and starting to track) a lot of patterns (old vs new), assumptions, and use cases. So the end results for me have been:
- general rubber duck benefits
- way more linters to keep all parties on track
- way more integration and unit tests
- obscure bug fixes verified via TDD
- a large amount of consolidation (a lot of replicated logic that has been DRY-ed up)
I care deeply about code readability and maintainability for the projects I work on. I'm reviewing a lot more code than I used to, not less. This is all anecdotal though.

How would that work? Isn't the whole company based around him?
