I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 mods installed for Rimworld. The in-game mod management system is pretty basic and simply does not cut it. Definitely interested in more management options.

Copilot is a LLM. So it's just predicting what should come next, word by word, based off the data its been fed. It has no concept of whether or not its answer makes sense.

So if you've scraped a bunch of open source github projects that this guy has worked on, he probably has a lot of TODOs assigned to him in various projects. When Copilot sees you typing "TODO(" it tries to predict what the nextthing you're going to type is. And a common thing to follow "TODO(" in it's data set is this guy's username, so it goes ahead and suggests it, whether or not the guy is actually on the project and suggesting him would make any sort of sense.

Extremely disappointed to discover that this isn't by the other Edward Teach. Please give me Blackbeard's extensively sourced treatise on porn.

You're correct that Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky besides (obviously) the sun and the moon.

The brightest star is Sirius, near the constellation Orion.

Polaris is absolutely NOT the brightest star in the sky. Not even close.

How to actually find it: Find the big dipper (I know you know what it looks like). Take the two stars at the front end of the "cup" part. Draw a line through them "up" and out of the cup until you hit a star. That's it.

I'm going to print this out and frame it on the wall of my office.
