This would have been my next step but a relative (who had used them in anger) told me that they stank and to use electric lights and be grateful for them.
I was going to spend a week without electric lights (plus no PC etc.). Partly for the romance of it, partly because I thought I might sleep better and be perkier if I let myself go with the natural day/night cycle.
I bought a lantern and some slender beeswax candles, and didn’t realise that this was good enough for mood lighting but not nearly enough for anything practical.

Are you an actual doctor? (I’m not.) I’ve found LLMs good at coming up with plausible hypotheses but bad at blocking them off.

Use an AI-integrated IDE like Cursor or Windsurf (now bought by OpenAI sigh).
Your query looks like ‘I have an error that look like paste text and I think it’s being caused by @Object1 not being destroyed properly during garbage collection’.
The IDE gives the codebase structure to the model, which queries the object you mentioned, its headers, etc. then does a search of the repo for where it’s used, then…
But I don’t think I’ve ever worked on a codebase that you would consider large and of course this only works for a monorepo.

Can you link? I enjoy that sort of thing; there was another couple who did the Victorian version with an icebox instead of a fridge etc.
I tried it myself once but it turned out that lighting even a small room with candles is surprisingly hard. You need a fairly serious candelabra if you want to be able to read a book after dark.

Thanks, that’s good to know! LG seems to be the best brand, although Sony have some nice ones.
Here we are on the Motte, exchanging tokens with strangers…
There is a certain purity to it.
